Abstract
This paper explores the phenomenon of moral shock in the context of the Palestinian conflict, with a view to understanding its implications for global ethical reactions. It suggests that moral shock may have moral significance and the potential for a positive impact at the global level. The paper is structured in three sections. The first explores the concept of moral shock. The second examines the armed conflict in Palestine through a moral shock perspective, highlighting specific aspects and incidents within the conflict that could potentially lead to moral distress. The third section discusses the broader implications of moral shock in this context. It suggests that moral shock may lead to positive outcomes by highlighting global responses to the ongoing events and showing how people worldwide react to these events.
