This chapter explores the moral practice of war, focusing on the recent conflict between Hamas and Israel in Gaza. It discusses the principles of just ad bellum and just in bellum, emphasizing the prohibition against aggressive warfare and the importance of adhering to moral limits. The chapter also examines the difficulty of adjudicating airstrike legality and the expectation of investigations into individual Israeli strikes.
The ongoing war in Gaza has sent out reverberations in the political, military, and economic spheres. But what about the moral sphere? Curtis is joined by “founding friend” David French to examine the moral aftershocks of Gaza in two disparate spheres: the moral practice of war and the moral practice of free speech at universities. We examine why Christians should care about both spheres, and also uncover the surprising theological similarities between them.
