700 Days of Genocide in Gaza
700 days.
10,000 martyrs in the last 100 days.
No less than 64,000 Palestinians killed.
The genocide continues.
The International Association of Genocide Scholars declared Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN experts, and B’Tselem all say the same.
Palestinians knew it all along.
They screamed it into your phones, into your homes.
And still, the world chose not to hear.
Nothing is real until the West names it. That is hegemony.
And still the genocide continues.
Five times Hamas agreed to ceasefire proposals.
Five times Israel chose genocide instead.
Five times the United States vetoed at the UN—blocking ceasefires, blocking aid.
Israel broke the last ceasefire on March 18. Since then, 11,768 Palestinians have lost their lives.
83% of Gaza’s martyrs are civilians—five out of six.
Even the “most moral army in the world” admits this in its intelligence files.
More than 64,300 Palestinians killed as of day 700.
Most of them women and children.
20,000 children killed—one classroom of children slaughtered every day.
These numbers are not abstractions. They are lives ended, families destroyed, histories broken.
95% of Gaza’s schools lie in ruins.
For the third year in a row, Gaza’s children will not attend school.
To destroy education and obliterate culture, to kill or scar the children who carry both forward—this is colonialism. This is how you exterminate a people.
No hospital in Gaza is fully functioning.
1,670 medics killed.
139 civil defense workers killed.
780 aid security staff killed.
Those who heal, those who rescue, those who safeguard aid and civil life—eliminated to make Gaza unlivable.
At Nasser Hospital, even journalists were targeted live on-air.
Five killed on location.
Another 270 hunted down since the start of the deadliest war for media workers in modern history.
Colonialism kills not only the victim but the witness. Because images of mutilation and starvation undo the Western myth that Arabs are barbaric and the West is civilized.
A child starves to death every day and a half in Gaza.
373 lives stolen by starvation—134 of them children.
The IPC confirmed famine in Gaza—the first ever declared in the Middle East. Entirely man-made.
Meanwhile, Israel wages a $45 million ad campaign built on the slogan: "There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.”
Under pressure, Israel and the United States launched the Gaza Humanitarian Fund—a scheme run by private contractors at sites the UN calls “death traps” and “militarized humanitarian assistance.”
Aid lines became killing grounds after May 27.
2,362 killed.
17,434 wounded.
45 missing.
Twice as many Palestinians massacred queuing for food as Israelis killed on October 7.
1,034 killed in the occupied West Bank—including 210 children.
This is not about October 7. This is not about Hamas.
Netanyahu never hid the nature of this war.
A war of fundamentalist fantasy drawn from biblical stories.
For Netanyahu, Gaza is Amalek—an invocation of biblical annihilation to justify ethnic cleansing.
A supremacist Jewish state demands a Palestine cleansed of Palestinians.
This is what “self-determination” for settlers really means.
This is what Israel’s “right to exist” looks like.
This is what “never again” enables.
Your writing feels like someone sitting beside us in the dark. It doesn’t take the pain away, but it reminds us we are not alone in it. Thank you for carrying this truth with such tenderness.
