Selective Empathy
Selective Empathy offers a rigorous, interdisciplinary analysis of Western emotional bias in humanitarian cooperation and intervention. Combining psychology, media studies, and international relations, Roberto De Vogli critically examines the moral failures underlying the Westβs selective response to the Gaza genocide.
In Selective Empathy: The West Through the Gaze of Gaza, Roberto De Vogli takes you deep into the greatest moral crisis of our time: the Gaza genocide. Blending sharp political critique with psychological insight, and filled with haunting testimonies, suppressed facts, and fearless indictments of Western leaders, journalists, and intellectuals, this book reveals a civilization that reserves compassion for some while ignoring others.
Gaza has become the Westβs mirror - and our moral litmus test. Will humanity survive its own indifference? De Vogli challenges prevailing assumptions and calls for a new global solidarity grounded in universal empathy, justice, and emotional decolonization.
