GENOCIDE IN GAZA

"Israel killed my family and destroyed my home. The world just kept scrolling. I fled Gaza with my children. We survived the genocide, but carry its weight every day. I want the world to understand what we lived through, but it refuses to see us." (Excerpts:) "I am a mother, a teacher, a survivor. But in Gaza, it doesn't matter who you are. Whether it is an infant, a student, a farmer or a professor, the world refuses to see us as human. In a world that reduces our lives to numbers, even our survival goes unnoticed...In both western and Arab media, people like me are made to disappear - flattened by bombs or by headlines...To the media, they were not a family but a number in the toll - lives mentioned without context, if mentioned at all. This is how Palestinians are portrayed: not as people, but as statistics. Dozens killed, hundreds injured, thousands displaced. We are victims, not voices. What does it mean to be killed with your entire family and not even earn a footnote?...The world often sees only the rubble, not the people whose lives were demolished along with their homes - bodies without biographies. But behind every number is a life interrupted. A future stolen...We are not just numbers. We are not just victims. We are people with names, with memories, with futures we were building. We deserve to be seen. I am not the first to say these things. Palestinians have been telling the world their stories for decades. But nearly 20 months into this genocide, we are still not being heard. The silence persists - louder than the bombs, heavier than the rubble. How much more must we lose before we are finally seen as human?":
