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 West’s 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.
