Why does a war in Gaza dominate global headlines while equally devastating conflicts like Sudan barely register in public consciousness? Enoch and Tim explore this striking imbalance, noting that the disparity is especially pronounced in Western contexts while many Asian societies follow Israel–Gaza with far less urgency. They suggest this pattern reveals something deeper than geopolitics: the enduring civilizational influence of the Abrahamic traditions on Western moral imagination. Even in a largely post-Christian Europe and North America, historical, religious, and cultural ties to the biblical world continue to shape what the West notices, debates, and grieves.
