The current escalation in Gaza reflects the culmination of 75 years of imperialism and antisemitism, resulting in an alarming escalation of violence where Israeli strikes have become "relentless" according to the UN. Civilians are caught in the crossfire, many left homeless amidst rubble. This disproportionate use of force and cycle of violence perpetuates immense suffering and loss of life. A permanent ceasefire, independent investigation into potential war crimes, and an end to unquestioning military support for Israel are crucial steps to pursue accountability and a just resolution that recognizes the humanity of all people. Only through upholding human rights and seeking a diplomatic path forward can lasting peace be achieved.
