After six months of Israeli bombardments the Gaza Strip is now just rubble and the war against Hamas has turned into a massacre of Palestinians, says Mediapart's publishing editor Carine Fouteau in this op-ed article. And by not opposing the destruction of an entire people, she argues, we become accomplices to it.
TheThe war in Gaza involves us all. As a world, as a country, as a community, as individuals. In the same way that 9/11 touched the “geopolitical unconscious of every living being”, as French philosopher Jacques Derrida noted, the massacre of October 7th 2023, carried out in cold blood by Hamas, has warped the space-time continuum in which we live, prompting a monstrous cycle of Israeli reprisals. The risk of genocide, expressed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), makes it clear that the terror caused by this war is on the highest scale of our inhumanity.
