Chris Hayes hosts “All In with Chris Hayes” at 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday on MSNBC. He is the editor-at-large at The Nation. A former fellow at Harvard University’s Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics, Hayes was a Bernard Schwartz Fellow at the New America Foundation. His latest book is 'A Colony in a Nation' (W. W. Norton).

In the spring of 1969, a group of students at Morehouse College, the historically Black college in Atlanta, were frustrated by what they said was the school’s slow progress on civil rights. They’d protested. They’d been rebuffed. So they locked the college trustees in their office for over 24 hours and essentially held them hostage. One of the trustees was Martin Luther King Sr., father of the recently slain civil rights leader.

A war that has, in fact, led to the deaths of some hostages, as well as the deaths of an estimated 34,000 Palestinians, including roughly 10,000 women and 13,000 children. Is that ongoing effort morally defensible? Is it strategically wise? Are we as a nation doing the wrong thing? Whenever that becomes the question, it almost becomes reflexive to challenge the questioner.
