This edition follows the ongoing genocide in Gaza, exploring the media's role in justifying violence and shaping public perceptions while addressing the broader ideologies underpinning systemic hate.
Defying Dehumanisation: Recognising and Rectifying the Ideologies of Hate
The issue begins with Denijal Jegić’s analysis of how mainstream media narratives have normalized the bombing of schools, mosques, and hospitals in Lebanon and Gaza. Jegić examines the deliberate dehumanization tactics used to desensitize the global public to atrocities.
In the second essay, Arzu Merali critiques Germany’s authoritarian crackdown on anti-Israel protests, exposing the contradictions in Western commitments to free speech and human rights.
Prof. David Miller contributes a groundbreaking proposal for "De-Zionising" British schools, revealing how educational institutions perpetuate colonial and pro-Israel biases.
Finally, João Silva Jordão challenges the ideological foundations of Zionism, questioning its claims as a sanctuary and representative for Jewish people, and predicting a reckoning for the Zionist state as global opposition grows.
This issue serves as a vital call to action, advocating for the dismantling of hate-based systems and planning for a just future.
