Stop the genocide in Palestine
✊🏽 Stop the Genocide in Palestine – A Global Call for Justice 🕊️
Every day, I wake up heartbroken, angry, and frustrated. We live in a world that claims to cherish freedom of speech and human rights, yet we continue to witness the massacre of innocent people in Palestine — and the world remains silent. The truth is deliberately ignored, distorted, or buried beneath headlines that depict Palestinians as aggressors rather than victims of decades-long violence and occupation.
**Palestinians Are Not Terrorists — They Are Human Beings**
Palestinians are not extremists. They are families, children, teachers, doctors, and students — human beings defending their right to exist in their homeland. The media tends to focus on Hamas, reducing the entire Palestinian population to a single narrative while ignoring the tens of thousands of innocent civilians, including over 40,000 children, who have been killed since October 7.
This is not about religion or revenge. This is ethnic cleansing. This is genocide. This is the forced erasure of an entire people. The silence from the so-called democratic world is deafening.
**Media Bias and Racism: Whose Lives Matter?**
Would the world stay silent if white children were being killed at this rate? Would entire neighborhoods be called “self-defense” if these bombings were happening in Europe or America?
This double standard is a reflection of a larger issue: the pervasive racism in media coverage. When people of color, especially Muslims, suffer, their lives are far too often treated as less valuable. This pattern is seen not only in Gaza but also in Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Native American communities, and countless others who are ignored or dehumanized.
**Islamophobia Is a Barrier to Truth**
The world has been poisoned by Islamophobia — a fear-driven lens that unfairly paints all Muslims as dangerous. This irrational stereotype fuels racism, war, and dehumanization. However, Islam is not a religion of hate — it is a religion of peace. As the Quran states:
“If you kill one innocent soul, it is as if you have killed all of humanity. And if you save one soul, it is as if you have saved all of humanity.” (Quran 5:32)
Radical extremists like ISIS do not represent Islam; they harm Muslims more than anyone else. Yet, mainstream media and political rhetoric continue to conflate all Muslims into one false narrative. This has serious consequences, including the ongoing funding of war crimes.
**The U.S. Government Is Complicit**
The Biden administration has approved over $14 billion in military aid to Israel while turning a blind eye to the mass killing of civilians in Gaza. How is this justice? How is this peace? America claims to defend freedom — but where is the freedom for Palestinians?
**Why Is Israel Expanding, Not Shrinking?**
If Palestinians were the ones attacking or conquering, then why is Israel getting larger every year while Palestinians are being forced into smaller and smaller corners of their homeland?
This is not a conflict between equals. This is a settler colonial occupation, and Palestinians are the indigenous people fighting for survival. They have every right under international law to resist ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and illegal occupation.
**What Needs to Happen Now:**
1. End the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.
2. Stop arming Israel with weapons used on civilians.
The world must wake up to this reality and take action for justice and peace.
