A genocide is happening in Gaza. We should say so. (washingtonpost.com) A genocide is happening in Gaza. We should say so. By Shadi Hamid 2025052810454500 Throughout history, atrocities have usually been committed under cover of darkness. The perpetrators know that what they are doing is wrong. They hide it. They deny it. They speak in euphemisms. But what happens when they no longer feel the need to hide? What happens when they say the quiet part out loud?

I’m not as “open-minded” as I used to be. This puts me in a somewhat awkward position as someone who has long argued that basically nothing — and no one — should be beyond the pale when it comes to debating, short of actual, current members of terrorist organizations and admitted white supremacists. Wisdom of Crowdsis against consensus, so we seek out difference even when it’s uncomfortable. That’s the point.
