Didier Fassin

“Without a doubt, what will haunt memories the longest, including perhaps in Israel itself, is how the inequality between lives has been paraded on the stage of Gaza, ignored by some and legitimized by others. That this supreme injustice - one life being worth less than another - is widespread in our world is a reality evident in peacetime and wartime alike. But there is hardly any previous instance in which the governments of Western countries so ostentatiously avert their eyes from it, to the extent of justifying it and silencing the voices that criticize it.”
