The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed 300,000—a staggering figure that reflects not just lives lost but the world’s collective failure. How have we allowed this to happen? Have we sent weapons to the wrong hands? Have our policies and tax dollars fueled this unimaginable suffering?
I urge you to watch the interview with Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British surgeon who has witnessed firsthand the horrors unfolding in Gaza’s collapsing hospitals. His testimony is a call to action.
This is a moment to examine our souls. How can we claim to stand for justice while enabling such devastation? The cries of children, the collapse of healthcare, and the despair of an entire people cry out for accountability.
We must redeem ourselves. Demand an immediate ceasefire. Push for unrestricted humanitarian aid. Support investigations into these human rights violations. Let us rebuild what we have helped destroy—both in Gaza and within our moral compass.
Will we continue to feed into evil, or will we fight for redemption? The world is watching, and history will remember.
