Another Gaza Massacre, Another Deafening Silence
Israel’s latest assault in Gaza has once again exposed the brutal reality behind its so-called “humanitarian coordination.” According to Al Jazeera, at least 74 Palestinians were killed on June 17, including 56 civilians seeking food aid in Khan Younis—many mowed down by Israeli tank fire. Just one day earlier, 38 more aid seekers were killed. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, backed by the U.S. and Israel, is drawing growing international condemnation. Doctors Without Borders’ Anna Halford described the operation as “neither a humanitarian enterprise nor a system—this is basically lethal chaos.” U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk accused Israel of “inflicting horrifying, unconscionable suffering on Palestinians.”Meanwhile, French-Palestinian European Parliament member Rima Hassan delivered a chilling account of being abducted by Israeli forces while attempting to deliver aid aboard the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. Despite being handcuffed, strip-searched, and held in solitary confinement for days, her fellow lawmakers remained silent. “Europe will no longer be a voice for human rights, but the echo of its own complicity and political cowardice,” Hassan warned.
How many more must die or be silenced before world leaders acknowledge the grotesque violence being carried out under the banner of “security”? The time for moral clarity is long overdue.
