Stunningly rigorous article from moral philosopher Simon Lucas on the war in Gaza. Be sure to follow all the excellent material that the Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism (
@InstituteCSA) is putting out:
"Rather than a single cause, the prevailing antizionist posture in contemporary philosophy appears to emerge from a convergence of ideological frameworks, moral symbolism, disciplinary incentives, and social pressures. Much of the philosophical commentary on the Gaza war operates within a framework shaped by naïve anti-militarist assumptions and a caricatured critique of imperialism, in which the West is cast as structural oppressor and the non-West as presumptive victim. Within this schema, Israel is coded as a Western settler-colonial entity and Palestinians as victims of Western coloniality."
