Since 1948, Palestinians have been driven from their land, starved, and slaughtered while the world watched in silence. Now they are forced, as Palestinian-Canadian lawyer and human rights specialist Diana Buttu observed, to “negotiate an end to their own genocide” with the very occupiers who created it.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal of staggering scale, must be held accountable for crimes against humanity. The United States, Britain, Germany, and other nations that armed and enabled Israel’s atrocities must pay massive reparations and help rebuild Gaza from the ashes of their complicity.
Israel must release all political prisoners, including Marwan Barghouti and thousands of others tortured and starved in Israeli jails. Settler terrorists in the West Bank—who burn homes, seize land, and murder civilians—must be disarmed, expelled, and tried in international courts.
This ceasefire cannot mark an end; it must mark a reckoning. Justice, accountability, and the restoration of Palestinian sovereignty are the only paths to lasting peace.
