Susan Neiman’s “Call It Evil: Why Moral Clarity Matters In The Trump Era” raises a profound question: have we become so accustomed to wrongdoing that we no longer recognize it for what it is?
When children are killed, civilians are denied safety, women are subjected to brutality, and entire communities endure destruction, we must have the moral courage to call serious injustice what it is.
The suffering of innocent people in Gaza, the West Bank, Sudan, Ukraine and elsewhere should awaken our conscience. Human life cannot be reduced to statistics, and cruelty must never become acceptable simply because it has become familiar.
The Holocaust remains one of history’s clearest warnings about the consequences of hatred, dehumanization and indifference. We must not allow indifference to become normalized again.
Moral clarity does not mean hatred. It means recognizing injustice, defending human dignity and refusing to treat cruelty as inevitable.
We must speak clearly when innocent people suffer. Silence does not make wrongdoing less serious.
The test of our humanity is whether we value every human life equally.
