“Shame on Humanity”: A Doctor’s Cry from Gaza - 9.15.2025

A Gaza doctor recently issued a desperate plea to the world: “Shame on humanity.” His words reflect the unbearable reality inside Gaza, where Israel’s relentless bombing and blockade have turned hospitals into graveyards and left families with no safe place to turn.

Doctors, once healers, now struggle to perform amputations without anesthesia, treat children without medicine, and bury colleagues alongside their patients. These are not scenes of war but of genocide—deliberate policies that destroy the very possibility of life. International law forbids the targeting of civilians, yet the global community, led by the United States, continues to arm and defend Israel as if these crimes were acts of self-defense.

The doctor’s cry is not only for his people but for all of us, because what is being destroyed in Gaza is not just lives, but the very fabric of humanity and moral conscience. To remain silent is to be complicit. History will remember who stood by while entire generations were erased.

If “never again” is to mean anything, the world must act now—end the genocide, demand a ceasefire, and hold Israel accountable. The shame is not Gaza’s. The shame is ours.
