The constant flow of news, information, and the unceasing barrage of social media updates regarding the ongoing attacks on Palestinians disturb my senses. My heart aches to the core, and my throat is so heavy that taking a breath feels like a thorn in it. I am utterly drained and disheartened by the political maneuvers of so called world leaders. The silence of the world in the face of merciless killing of innocent lives and screaming mothers searching for remains of their children is tearing at my heart.
The deep-seated fear on the faces of children have shaken me to the core – their trembling and anguished expressions, filled with screams, reveal the profound impact they cannot comprehend. The agony of fathers who invested their blood, sweat, and life into constructing a home, only to see it demolished, is not a mere nightmare but a brutal reality.
Moreover, the pain experienced by those broken hearts is unbearable. That infortune of a brother who would never see his lost sister to tease her, the pregnant mother unaware that the her unborn baby would never step into this cruel world. The painful remorse of lovers who have lost their partners will have to come to terms with the bitter reality that they will never meet again.
The sight of babies shedding tears as they desperately search for their beloved mothers, is profoundly heart-wrenching. What they did to you? What sin could an innocent baby have committed to endure the loss of their heroic father? What did that little baby do to you the way you have turned his white feeding milk into bloody red.
The genocide of Palestinians emphasizes the untrustworthiness of international forums like UN to deliver justice; they often fail, leaving innocent people vulnerable to wars.

You have snatched the purpose of life of countless people, leaving them isolated and alone. Their families have been massacred, and those left behind struggle to grasp the reality, hoping against hope that it’s a dreadful nightmare. Once lively chirping of birds has been silenced, replaced by the harrowing echoes of screams, cries and the pervasive fire that engulf everything. The smell of genocide hangs heavy, annihilating all in its path.
Alas! There seems to be no power strong enough to undo this bloody world politics! Where are the United Nations and its international laws? What happened to the human rights slogans which were talked about every other day? Stop this hypocrisy now which has taken the lives of more than 10000 innocent Palestinians. What about the fundamental rights? The right to life, the right to own a secure place, the right to food and shelter—none of these rights are safeguarded.
You have violated all of them, demonstrating that humanity lacks adequate protection. The genocide of Gaza expose the grim truth of a genuine terrorist state on Earth. Stop these inhumane actions which have already inflicted devastation on innocents lives. The atmosphere of fear and the blaze of destruction you’ve started are escalating, reaching a point where extinguishing them seems increasingly difficult.
The world remained silent witnessing the worst happening in front of them as if that strip of land were not a part of Earth. Those in positions of power chose to remain silent, even though many among them are openly complicit in these crimes against humanity. Resolutions, reforms, laws, policies—all lie shattered in this place.
What is the purpose of formulating policies when their execution lacks purpose? Who is responsible for it? Are we, the common people, to accept that this is game beyond our reach to challenge? The world is currently in anguish, bleeding profusely, yet no force seems capable of putting a halt to the devastation. It was not the right of those innocent people to be subjected to such a horrific massacre. Oh, my heart! We extend our apologies.
Furthermore, this unfortunate state of affairs proves that its simply a stupidity relying on forums like United Nations to do justice, as they frequently falter, leaving you vulnerable and disillusioned. this terrorist state is perpetrating one of the most egregious forms of genocide ever witnessed in the history of humanity on our planet Earth.
Article I of this convention declares that “genocide, whether occurring in peacetime or during war, is a crime under international law.” Article II provides a definition of genocide as acts carried out with the intent to annihilate, either wholly or partially, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. These acts include: (i) killing members of the group; (ii) causing serious physical or mental harm to members of the group; (iii) deliberately imposing conditions of life on the group intended to bring about its physical destruction, either wholly or partially.
World is witnessing the hypocrisy of the world powers, as those claiming to support peace are actually supporting and sponsoring the act of genocide in Gaza.

Likewise, according to Article IV of the convention, individuals who commit genocide, regardless of whether they hold positions as constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials, or private citizens, shall face punishment (Lippman, M. 2017). Regrettably, these articles are not being adhered to and are not being effectively implemented.
In a nutshell, these conventions and articles are approved to a visual or apparent extent because there is no implementation on it. However this is void and intense hypocritical condition of the world that the Peacemakers who claimed to support peace are actually involved in this act of genocide.
What Zionist state of Israel is doing is a blatant attempt at eradicating Palestinians, yet international law seems oblivious to this distressing reality. I implore everyone, irrespective of religious affiliation—Muslims, Jews, Christians, and every individual worldwide—to open your eyes and comprehend the manipulative tactics against humanity.
Now is the moment for a collective stand and vocal opposition against this barbarism worldwide. It’s time to demonstrate unity against barbaric states and their accomplices.
