In the article Dr. Julio Levit Koldorf argues that contemporary moral outrage has become performative and selective, driven more by ideological fashion than by genuine concern for human suffering. It contrasts the global indifference toward severe humanitarian catastrophes in places like Africa with the intense, often disproportionate focus on Israel, which the author contends is framed through symbolic narratives unsupported by empirical evidence. This imbalance, he suggests, reflects a deeper cultural tendency to use Jews and the Jewish state as moral abstractions, allowing activists to express virtue without confronting complex or uncomfortable realities. Ultimately, Levit Koldorf contends that being on the “right side of history” is rarely fashionable, because it requires fidelity to facts and universal compassion rather than conformity to prevailing moral trends.
