Coleman Hughes Special: Israel, Hamas & the Myth of Moral Equivalence

In this special episode, I take on probably the most controversial and emotionally fraught topic of the moment: the Israel-Hamas conflict.  I think war crimes have been committed on both sides. But that doesn’t mean I think the two sides are morally equivalent. Today, I argue that there’s a fundamental asymmetry between Israel and Hamas, one that’s too often blurred or ignored by the mainstream media. Israel’s actions, while sometimes flawed or tragic in consequence, are ultimately rooted in a defensive logic. Hamas, on the other hand, has explicitly genocidal goals. But where does that leave us when we see images of children starving and hear reports that Israel is responsible? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
