What Have the Past Two Years Meant for Gaza?
Two Years of Gaza Genocide… World Watches and Turns Away
Two years in which children have known nothing but bombs, hunger, fear, and loss.
Two years in which an entire generation has grown up among ruins— without schools, without medicine, without a future.
Manyare orphans. Many are maimed. All are traumatized.
And the world — above all the West — watches.
Not out of ignorance, but out of indifference.
Is This Really a War?
This is not war.
It is a politically calculated crime.
They knew exactly what would happen.
They knew children
would die, starve, and break apart inside.
And they did it anyway — or let it happen.
Where Is the Moral Authority Now?
The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
In Europe, people speak of “child welfare endangerment” if a child is slapped.
They parade themselves as moral authorities.
Yet when children in Gaza
are buried under rubble, when they starve, lose limbs, or live for months
without clean water — suddenly everything becomes “complicated.”
Political convenience replaces humanity.
Why Were Wounded Children Turned Away?
Germany
even refused to take in wounded children from Gaza.
Too dangerous, too bureaucratic, too inconvenient.
They didn’t want mothers or relatives to accompany them — for “security
reasons.”
As if pain were suspicious.
As if Palestinian children were a threat.
A moral bankruptcy, plain and simple.
Would the Response Be Different If They Were Israeli?
Imagine for a moment they had been Israelichildren.
There would have been special flights, open hospitals, national solidarity.
For some — limitless compassion.
For others — nothing.
Does a Ceasefire Mean Justice?
And now we are told there is a “ceasefire,”
as though the matter were settled.
But Gaza remains in ruins.
People starve, freeze, and wander through devastation — under the gaze of a
world that has decided this is tolerable.
A few trucks with flour, a few photo-ops, a few hollow phrases about
“humanitarian aid” — that’s all that’s left of Western morality.
What Do These Children Know Now?
These children have lost everything — and they know their
lives were never worth protecting.
That is the real catastrophe.
Are Rights and Empathy Conditional?
Child rights? Only for the right children.
Empathy? Only when it fits the narrative.
For Palestinian children, there is only silence.
Is This Neutrality — or Something Worse?
This is not neutrality.
It is complicity through indifference.
What Will History Ask of Us?
And one day people will ask:
how the so-called civilized world might have known exactly what was
happening —
and still did nothing.
Anyone who still tries to justify this has forfeited the right
to speak of values.
