Hannah Arendt spoke of the banality of evil. She said that the frightening thing about people who commit or go along with evil acts like genocide is not that there is something unusual about them but rather that that they are so “terribly and terrifyingly normal.” It was this normality that was “more terrifying than all the atrocities put together.” I look around today and see the many people among my neighbors, my colleagues, my relatives, the politicians and the media, who support or tolerate this genocide in Palestine, and I am terrified. Not only for Palestine, but for all of humanity. Not only for today, but for the future.
