Abstract

As we write the final version of this chapter, the 2023–2024 war on Gaza is still ongoing. Indeed, the Hamas attacks on Israel followed by Israel’s response causing massive destruction, starvation, and excessive death tolls in Gaza compel our attention to the implications of the war not only about what it means to be human but also about the moral obligations of applied linguistics; a field that has defined itself as “the theoretical and empirical investigation of real-world problems in which language is a central issue” (Brumfit et al. in Principle and Practice in Applied Linguistics. Oxford University Press, 1995, p. 27).
