Why is children’s entertainer and educator Ms Rachel able to speak about the situation in Gaza with more moral clarity than democratic leaders like Pete Buttigieg? And what is gained when we use complexity to avoid moral and ethical commitments? This video explores those questions with reference to the existential philosophy of Simone De Beauvoir.
