Omar El Akkad: Gaza genocide and the failure of US liberalism
Briefly

As Israel's assault on Gaza approaches its second year, critiques are intensifying regarding the West’s silence and complicity in the ongoing violence. In a recent discussion on UpFront, journalist Omar Al Akkad highlighted the moral ramifications of Western liberalism's passive response to the crisis. His book, 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,' underscores that ignoring the conflict ultimately contributes to its perpetuation, shaping how future generations will view the moral obligations of the West and its failures in addressing injustice.
Omar Al Akkad argues that Western liberalism's failure to actively condemn violence in Gaza reflects a deep moral cost and complicity that could tarnish future judgments of history.
Hill and Al Akkad discuss the stark divide in perspectives on the Gaza conflict, with many in the West silent or dismissive, illustrating a troubling trend in public opinion.
