What’s happening in Gaza is not a war. It’s raw, brutal state-sponsored oppression. Homes are flattened. Tents are burned. Hospitals destroyed. Roads torn apart. Cemeteries desecrated. Schools erased. Entire governorates reduced to rubble.
This is not a battlefield. It’s a massacre. Medics, journalists, and aid workers lie dead. Tens of thousands of innocent civilians have been slaughtered. The few who survive crave just the basics — a sip of clean water, a bite to eat, a simple shelter, a flicker of hope. There’s no electricity. No medical help. Not even a safe passage to escape this hell on earth.
Movement itself is a crime now. Land is stolen while its rightful owners are hunted. Innocent people are gunned down without reason. Children are snatched from homes and thrown into prisons. Disease spreads like wildfire. The horrors don’t stop there — harassment, rape, forced stripping, starvation, and mass displacement are now daily realities. This is not conflict. This is systematic repression, broadcast live to a world that pretends not to see.
At the dark heart of this carnage is Netanyahu’s wicked goal — not just to destroy Gaza but to erase Gazans. His dream is a Gaza without its people. He thinks tanks, bombs, and blockades will silence the spirit of Palestine. But this is where he overreaches.
His campaign of terror is also personal. With corruption charges looming and public rage growing, he uses war to shield himself from political ruin. Like an emperor torching his palace to distract the crowd outside, Netanyahu clings to power through bloodshed. He’s copying Modi’s script from Kashmir — incite fear, wrap yourself in the flag, and hide the internal decay.
Occupied Kashmir has long seen similar state-sanctioned cruelty. Under Modi’s regime, Indian forces have followed the same playbook — raids, disappearances, torture, and silencing of dissent. The lockdowns, communication blackouts, and forced demographic changes echo what’s happening in Gaza. Two faces of the same brutal coin.
Back in Gaza, international law is dead silent. The United Nations Security Council turns a blind eye. The ICC is quiet. The ICJ stands idle while genocide charges from South Africa gather dust. No one dares mention Israel in war crimes investigations. They’re scared of sanctions. Scared of truth.
Geneva Conventions? Forgotten. Laws of war? Ignored. State-sponsored oppression marches on, unchecked. Netanyahu runs a blood-soaked campaign while the world hands him cover. The U.S. isn’t just watching — it’s fully involved. Trump once said Gaza was “an incredible piece of real estate.” He dreams of American control while denying Gaza’s pain. He preaches peace in South Asia while fueling carnage in the Middle East. Hypocrisy at its purest.
Evidence of war crimes piles up higher than Gaza’s ruins. But Western leaders double down. They send weapons, money, and political support straight to Israel. Just like they back India’s crackdown in Kashmir — ignoring curfews, torture reports, and the cries of the oppressed.
There is one flicker of sense. France has dared to step out of line. Macron is hosting a UN conference with Saudi Arabia. He’s even declared that France is moving toward recognition of Palestine. It’s a small crack in a wall of silence, but a crack nonetheless. Will others follow? Or is moral courage now extinct?
France alone cannot stop this. Europe holds the trade keys. Cut Israel off economically. Stop selling weapons. Impose sanctions. Diplomatic isolation is overdue. That’s how to stop institutionalized brutality.
Regional powers like the Arab League, OIC, and others must act. Enough with the speeches. They must file legal cases, break trade ties, and support Palestinians with more than words. No matter how long it takes, they must not waver.
Because if not now, then when? What more do they need to see? The blood is fresh. The pain is real. The genocide is live. And history will not be kind to those who stood by while a people were wiped out.
Gaza and Kashmir are not just stories of war. They are case studies in state-sponsored oppression. Twin tragedies. Shared suffering. And the world must finally open its eyes.
