Why the world has grown numb to the genocide in Gaza?
- In his New Indian Express opinion piece, social scientist Shiv Visvanathan asks why the world remains numb to Gaza’s suffering.
- Visvanathan argues that Gaza’s deaths are often reduced to numbers, making the violence feel abstract and impersonal.
- He contrasts this with Vietnam, Rwanda and apartheid-era South Africa, where storytelling turned audiences into witnesses.
- He says journalism must give numbers human context through stories, memory and the experiences of those affected.
