The grave injustice heaped upon Palestinians is made worse by the silence—or active complicity—of pro-Israel actors who claim to defend human rights while turning a blind eye to Israel’s ongoing atrocities. Palestinian human rights organizations face sanctions, harassment, and smear campaigns simply for documenting war crimes and seeking accountability through international courts. This deliberate silencing enables Israel’s horrific campaign of mass killings, starvation, and displacement, which independent observers have rightly called acts of genocide.
What is particularly appalling is how this denial of Palestinian rights desecrates the memory of Holocaust victims. The world vowed “Never Again,” yet now repeats the cycle of dehumanization and extermination—only with Palestinians as the targets. To honor those who perished under Nazi rule, we must confront injustice wherever it occurs. Human rights cannot be selective, and justice cannot be denied to an entire people.
