David French is right—Israel must open its eyes. But so must we. For far too long, the lives of Palestinians have been treated as disposable. This did not begin on October 7 or even in 1967. It dates back to 1948, when Zionist militias—funded and politically shielded by the U.S. and U.K.—waged a campaign of terror to create Israel atop Palestinian villages reduced to rubble. Israel was born of terror, and Western powers were complicit.
To this day, that legacy of dispossession continues. Gaza is an open-air prison subjected to ceaseless bombardment, its children starved and slaughtered with weapons stamped "Made in the USA." The West Bank is being eaten alive by settler terrorism, backed by a brutal occupation and defended by morally bankrupt allies—America, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy.Let us stop parroting the line that "Israel has a right to exist" while ignoring the even more basic truth: Palestinians have the right to live. To live free of occupation. Free of collective punishment. Free of Western-enabled slaughter. And yes, they have a right to defend themselves, just as any people would under siege.
No God will reward safety built atop a mountain of lies and blood. It’s time to end this hypocrisy. The world must stop enabling Israel’s crimes and finally stand for the humanity of the Palestinian people.
