Thus we cannot afford to look away from the history of injustice in the name of moral certainty because that entails the risk of committing more injustices and at some point our certainty will falter on that shaky ground. Why cant we condemn morally heinous acts without losing our power to think know and judge We certainly can and should do both. The acts of violence we witness in the media are horrific. And in this moment of peak media attention the violence we see is the only one we know.
I repeat we are right to deplore that violence and express our horror. Ive had my stomach Russia Mobile Number List for days. n fear of what the Israeli military machine is going to do whether Netanyahus genocidal rhetoric will materialize in the mass murder of Palestinians. I wonder if we can mourn without qualification the lives lost in Israel as well as those lost in Gaza without getting bogged down in debates about relativism and equivalence. Perhaps the greater scope of mourning serves a more substantial idea of equality one that recognizes that lives are equally worthy of mourning and gives rise to indignation because those lives should not have been lost because the dead deserved to stay alive and the same recognition for their lives.
How can we even imagine a future equality of the living if we are unaware that Israeli forces and settlers as documented by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs have killed nearly Palestinian civilians since in the West Bank and Gaza . Where is the worlds mourning for them Hundreds of Palestinian children have died since Israel began its revenge military actions against Hamas and many more will die in the days and weeks to come. Taking some time to learn about the history of colonial violence and examining the language narratives and frameworks that operate today to inform and explain and interpret in advance what is happening in the region does not have to threaten our moral positions.
