We are witnessing a surreal political scene: a war criminal nominating another war criminal for peace, a scene that defies logic and morality. Benjamin Netanyahu recommends Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, while one of the most heinous crimes in modern history is being committed in Gaza: a genocide documented in audio and video, amidst shameful international silence.
Under relentless bombardment, systematic starvation, and direct targeting of civilians, the occupation's leaders are attempting to manipulate the global narrative and present themselves as peacemakers, even as Palestinian blood has yet to dry.
Days of genocide are not just moments of bloody horror, but moments of profound revelation. What has been happening in Gaza since October 7, 2023, is not just systematic mass murder, but a blatant declaration of the occupying state's detachment from human values. War has become a daily theater of moral debauchery.
With every escalation in the death toll and every neighborhood razed to the ground, Israeli officials come out to celebrate the "achievements" of the war. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself declared that the war "reshaped the region."
But what change are we talking about? Is change measured by the number of martyrs, children, and destroyed homes?
In one of the most shocking moments, Netanyahu nominated Trump, who is also accused of fueling hate speech, for the Nobel Peace Prize, even as genocide is being committed in Gaza. Ironically, Trump himself has publicly supported the blockade policies and blessed the military operations in Gaza.
Reports by international human rights organizations document Israel's use of indiscriminate bombing and a suffocating siege in conditions that amount to "collective punishment" and a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. More than 55,000 people were killed and nearly 200,000 wounded, most of them women and children, in one of the bloodiest military operations since World War II.
Hospitals were bombed, water sources dried up, and aid was blocked, while Israeli officials made it clear: “There is no safe place in Gaza.”
This is not “collateral damage.” Rather, it is a carefully planned plan to deny life to Gaza.
In January 2024, South Africa filed a historic lawsuit against Israel at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of committing genocide.
The court ordered interim measures obligating Israel to halt any acts of genocide and facilitate the entry of aid. But on the ground, the bombing continued, the blockade was renewed, and Israel continued to use starvation as a weapon.
The UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, dared to speak the truth.
Describing what was happening as "potential genocide by a colonial state," she was subjected to a fierce diplomatic attack, accused of bias, and demanded that Israel halt its funding to the United Nations. Albanese said, "What we are witnessing in Gaza is not just a war crime, but an ongoing pattern of colonialism, apartheid, and political genocide."
But instead of responding to the content of her words, Israel and the United States chose to distort them, fearing to admit the truth.
The scandal does not stop at the actions of the Israeli army, but also includes the Israeli and Western media, and some academic circles.
Researchers in the occupying state have issued what they call a "scientific study" denying the occurrence of any crimes against humanity in Gaza. However, this is not a study, but rather an ideological legal argument designed to stifle the truth before it reaches global public opinion.
We live in a time when victims are asked to exercise "restraint" as they die, and are condemned if they cry out for life. But the truth doesn't need permission to be told. What is happening in Gaza is not a war, but a systematic policy of erasing the identity and existence of a people. Genocide is not just about the number of dead, but also about denying the right to exist, about the siege, about displacement, about the destruction of mosques and camps, about bombing children sleeping in tents.
Israeli society, as reflected in its actions, is sliding toward mass moral suicide in the name of “security” and “superiority.”
Israel may succeed in temporarily obliterating the crimes, but memory cannot be destroyed, and the human conscience is invincible.
The day will come when the killers will be tried, in the courts, in the memory of the people, in the stories of the survivors, and in the questions of the children of Gaza who decided not to forget.
