Hey Sir, Yes, the Gaza War raises significant moral questions for Western Modernity, particularly around issues of human rights, justice, and international law. Western nations often pride themselves on upholding democratic values, individual freedoms, and human dignity. However, the conflict in Gaza challenges these ideals, as it brings into focus the disparity in power, the humanitarian crisis, and the ethics of military intervention. Western countries, particularly the U.S. and European nations, have historically supported Israel, but this has raised questions about their complicity in the ongoing suffering of Palestinians. The moral dilemma centers on whether Western powers, while promoting human rights globally, are turning a blind eye to the suffering of civilians in Gaza or whether they are providing a fair and balanced response to the conflict. This tension also prompts deeper questions about the role of Western countries in shaping global power structures and the ethics of their foreign policy decisions.
Yes, sir, Zygmunt Bauman says that the Holocaust was not the result of a mistake made by Western civilization, but rather a rational bureaucratic arrangement to solve the Jewish problem. He clarified that the issue is that Western civilization lacks ethics, and today we see that the world is governed only by power and influence, and that humanitarian principles that the West has long praised hold no value. Even the global bodies that are supposed to have the ability to implement the principles of the United Nations have become meaningless entities.
I would not be so categorical in this discussion, because there is no clear answer to this question. There will always be those who are loyal to Israel and those who are loyal to Palestine. When we talk about moral values, it is always advisable to look at every detail, at every action separately and who is behind it. In addition, the cause-and-effect relationship in certain actions is very important. It would be very good if a specific situation were considered, on the one hand, comprehensively, and on the other hand, so that the situation would not be overgrown with ancient myths and modern information fakes
lya Your position is logical so that we do not take sides in judging matters, but this requires that we look for common ground so that we can judge impartially. If we define the Gaza war as a historical event to judge, what is the reference that we can rely on as common ground in order to reach an objective judgment?
Dear Sir محمد طاهيري. In this war, as in other wars, the only thing that can be relied on is how to avoid human casualties and deaths. No idea, no thesis, no statement can be justified by either side if people are killed. A person and his life are the most important value, and no idea, no theory can justify the killing of people on both sides.
