Description
Consent to the obliteration of Gaza has created an immense, unprecedented gulf in the contemporary global moral order. This incisive geopolitical investigation provides a meticulously documented archive of the first six months of the military conflict initiated after the October 7 attacks.
Authored by acclaimed sociologist and anthropologist Didier Fassin, the work examines how the vast majority of Western governments and their institutional elites actively acquiesced in and contributed to the widespread destruction of civilian lives, residences, hospitals, and educational infrastructure. Fassin details how a strict vocabulary and grammar of facts were structurally imposed to justify ongoing support and suppress global dissent, resulting in normalized censorship, institutional self-censorship, and highly restrained mainstream media coverage. By bringing forward the voices of students, intellectuals, and grassroots activists resisting this political framework, this brief but powerful study serves as both a historic archive of complicity and an open defense of human rights and international law.
