Abstract: In reflecting on what anthropologists can contribute to public education about the genocide in Gaza, the co-editors of this special issue recognize the limitations of our tools (facts, words, narratives), audiences (students and teachers of a humanities discipline), and impacts. But, along with the contributors to this issue, we assert the importance of continuing our efforts to witness and denounce, to analyze and explain, to encourage boycott and to unionize. Bringing together people from across lines of difference and ignorance into shared refusal of human destruction is a moral act in these immoral times. It is an act of solidarity with Palestine and Palestinians, and with each other, a means to enhancing our efforts at building a more just world, because none of us is free until Palestinians are free.
