The ongoing genocide in Gaza—and the escalating brutality in the West Bank—defies words. Each day brings new horrors: airstrikes, starvation, and the massacre of a trapped civilian population. And yet, no global power appears willing—or able—to stop it. A few nations raise their voices, but they lack the influence to make a difference. The powerful remain deaf, blind, and mute. 

In Israel today, even saying the word “Palestine” can result in arrest, jail, or assassination. The country is sliding into authoritarianism and cruelty. Meanwhile, the U.S. government continues to supply weapons and diplomatic cover. In February, Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed, “We are eliminating terrorists.” But who are the terrorists? Israel’s relentless bombing and settler violence are creating more fighters, not fewer. What would any of us do if stripped of dignity, home, and hope? 

This is not about security—it’s about land theft and domination. 

Tens of thousands have been killed in Gaza, including countless women and children. The true toll may be far higher than reported. If all lives are equal, how can we remain silent—and complicit—in these massive crimes? 

The victims of past genocides, like the Holocaust victims, must be weeping in their graves. And history will not be kind to those who stood by and did nothing.
