Humanity is an Absolute Failure
History will judge not just the executioners but all the devils who watched and did nothing.
The skies over Gaza have darkened once again with the smoke of destruction. What we are witnessing is not warfare but the methodical erasure of human existence – a calculated annihilation that defies description yet demands our witness. Israel has unleashed what can only be called an apocalyptic nightmare upon Gaza, fulfilling the chilling promise made by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich weeks earlier. This is genocide unfolding before our eyes, again —Israel's torture, rape and death machine will not and cannot stop.
I repeat: Israel will not stop. Why would it? The world has given it carte blanche for atrocity. It bombs Syria with impunity, seizes Syrian territory without consequence, strikes Lebanon and Yemen without fear. It commits sexual violence against Palestinian men, women, and children—documented on video for all to see. It films its own torture sessions like trophies. It reduces hospitals to rubble, universities to ash, transforms doctors into casualties and journalists into corpses. It murders mothers cradling infants, aid workers carrying medicine, children sleeping in beds. ISRAEL-CAN-DO-ANY-THING.
Make no mistake, as I have written many times before, if the world fails to end zionism, zionism will end the world.
Most are Under Six Years Old
The death toll mounts with each passing hour. Over 400 Palestinians slaughtered in relentless airstrikes, with no pretense of military necessity. Among the dead lie at least 174 children – innocent lives extinguished without remorse or hesitation. Countless others remain trapped beneath mountains of concrete and twisted metal, their fates sealed.
The evidence of this atrocity is seared into the consciousness of anyone who dares to look: a baby in a rainbow-patterned jumpsuit, lifeless. A child's bloodied face beneath a Mickey Mouse shirt. A toddler with burns marring her delicate features. Fathers cradling their daughters for the final time – one gently playing with her hair, another wailing over her favorite pajamas now stained crimson.
Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a Californian surgeon volunteering in Gaza, described scenes of "utter carnage" following the strikes. "Mostly children," he reported, his voice heavy with anguish. "The other half are mostly women." Of the six surgeries he performed overnight, half were on children under six years old. "Most of them are going to go on to die," he acknowledged, the weight of inevitability crushing his medical expertise.
We Must Haunt Them Until the End of Days.
While Palestinians bleed, language itself becomes a weapon wielded against truth. CNN's breaking news claimed Israel was merely "carrying out extensive strikes against Hamas," casting "doubt on the fragile ceasefire" – as if hundreds of civilian deaths represented anything but its complete obliteration. The New York Times insisted these apocalyptic bombardments were "targeting Hamas," knowing full well the disproportionate slaughter of innocent children.
Western media has become not just complicit but an active accomplice in genocide. These institutions have abandoned all pretense of journalistic integrity, choosing instead to launder Western war crimes through sanitized language and deliberate omissions. They contort themselves to avoid words like "genocide" and "occupation," yet rush to label Palestinian resistance as "terrorism." Media executives, editors, and journalists who participate in this deadly propaganda campaign bear moral responsibility for every bomb that falls. Their hands are stained with the same blood as those who pull the triggers and drop the bombs.
We must haunt them until the end of days.
This so-called "ceasefire," in effect since January 19th, had already been violated repeatedly, with over 150 Palestinians killed before this latest massacre. During the same period, only one Israeli died in Gaza – killed accidentally by Israeli forces. The stark contrast reveals the racial calculus that determines whose lives matter in this conflict.
Beyond the immediate violence lies the systematic strangulation of survival itself. Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza, preventing food, medicine, and all humanitarian aid from reaching a desperate population. Prices for basic necessities have surged 200%, creating famine conditions deliberately engineered by policy. Even Zionist apologist British Foreign Secretary David Lammy briefly acknowledged this as "a breach of international law" before his complicit government swiftly backpedaled.
“History will judge not just the executioners but all the devils who watched and did nothing.”
Where the Hell is the World!?
Now Israel orders mass evacuations, forcing yet another displacement of a traumatized population. The stage is being set for the complete destruction of what little infrastructure and life remain, facilitating what former President Trump has already green-lit: “all hell breaking out”.
No crime in history has been so thoroughly documented by its victims, so extensively evidenced by experts, or so openly confessed to by its perpetrators. There are no excuses, no hiding places. Those who commit, facilitate, or remain silent in the face of this genocide bear the weight of complicity.
Where the hell is the world? One and a half years in, and the entire international community—with all its lofty institutions, treaties, and declarations—stands paralyzed as a tiny speck of a nation systematically erases an ancient civilization from the face of the earth. The much-heralded "multipolar world" has revealed itself as nothing but a cruel farce—major powers like China, Russia, and Brazil posture from the sidelines, offering hollow statements and performative concern while blood floods the streets.
They watch, they "condemn," they "urge restraint," yet they do nothing as the United States arms and shields Israel in its methodical erasure of Palestine. Together they bomb the cradle of civilization—our shared human heritage—back into the stone age, destroying libraries, museums, universities, and archaeological sites that have stood for millennia. Not just Palestinian lives, but humanity's very memory is being systematically obliterated, and the world's powers respond with nothing but diplomatic theater.
The United Nations stands impotent, its resolutions ignored with impunity. International courts issue warrants that go unenforced—except when it's another brown-faced leader who needs arrested. Arab nations that once thundered with solidarity now bow shamefully to the white man and his Zionist collaborator, betraying decades of promised brotherhood. Human rights organizations document atrocities that pile up like corpses in unmarked graves—evidence gathered for a justice that simply never arrives.
Every humanitarian principle, every international law, every diplomatic norm lies shattered like Gaza's hospitals, schools, and homes. The deafening silence of global leaders betrays their complicity. Their inaction speaks volumes—Palestinian lives are deemed expendable, their suffering a tolerable price in the calculus of geopolitical interests and arms deals. What an absolute failure humanity is.
What use have our vaunted "liberal institutions" when they stand exposed as empty facades—powerless by design? The UN issues resolutions, the ICJ orders a halt to genocide, the ICC threatens prosecutions—yet the slaughter not only continues but intensifies in real time, streaming directly to our devices. We witness the rape, torture, burning, and bombing of innocent civilians in high definition, as if the perpetrators are taunting the world with their impunity. And what do these hallowed institutions deliver? Nothing but carefully worded statements that evaporate into the ether while Palestinian blood soaks into concrete.
The architects of this horror are not merely unpunished—they are rewarded. Western powers rush to supply more weapons, transfer billions in funding, and provide absolute diplomatic cover at every turn. They label themselves "the rules-based order" while systematically shredding international law to protect their client state. History will render its verdict not only against the executioners but against all the complicit monsters who watched, who knew, who could have acted but chose to look away. Their names will be carved into monuments of shame, their legacies forever stained with the blood they pretended not to see gushing forth before their eyes.
Mark my words: history will judge not just the executioners but all the devils who watched and did nothing.
As fires rage across Gaza and children's bodies are pulled from rubble, we must face this terrible truth: we are witnessing — again — a bloody genocide in real time. Our silence is not neutrality – it is permission. Our voices may be all that stands between the people of Gaza and their complete annihilation.

The passion in the essay resonated deeply with me. I've been writing to my elected officials at least weekly, sometimes 2-3 times per week. I've also written letters to the editor and editorials that were never published. What struck me most, and I can't believe I hadn't thought of it before, was the idea of writing to the mainstream media.
I have never lost hope, no matter how bleak things may seem at times. It's nothing compared to what the Palestinians are experiencing.
Thank you for writing this; I've shared your essay, hoping it reaches someone who can help end this humanitarian crisis.
After five centuries of crimes against the rest of and against its own humanity, the West has unmistakably reached its moral nadir. Its functioning leadership has, for all to vividly and publicly see, morphed into a conscienceless bureaucratic machinery for the implementation of radical evils. While the vast majority of the world screams in rage and pain at its psychotic cruelty, we at the center of empire remain locked in narcosis, immobility, and insensate decadence.
Global fascism is no longer slouching, it has been born, and has established totalitarian regimes in its homelands to ultimately—and therefore, violently, whenever necessary-- stifle dissent, while preparing to destroy the lives and futures of untold millions to fulfill its demented, racist agendas of dominance. The full-blown global war which may well soon erupt may precipitate mass murder, impoverishment and pandemic on a scale never known in history, may eventually render large areas of the world uninhabitable for generations to come, may eventually undermine the planetary ecosystem itself.
Some insist that these are the fateful symptoms of its coming collapse. Or it may turn out to be clear that the only reason to go on pursuing truly human vocations is for the sake of conscience and principle itself, even if banished of tangible result at large, and even in the face of certain repression and death. But for those of us who retain our conscience and humanity and will to solidarity, that will certainly continue to be reason enough to steadfastly follow those who have given their all before us, to the front lines of struggle.
