Abstract
SOCIOLOGISTS, historians, scientists and scholars and journalists cannot be neutral in the name of separating facts from values in the face of evil. Neutrality is not an option. There is concern on the role of sociology as a discipline in confronting power and inequality, and decolonisation. It faltered in the colonial violence and genocide in Gaza. There is a complicity of silence of the universities, including Malaysian institutions. Palestine is a civilisation, and a sociological issue. The genocide in Gaza demands a critical reckoning of the role of sociology as a discipline and the broader purpose of academic institutions.
