Stop the Killing and End the Starvation in Gaza - 10.8.2025

In just the past 24 hours, Israeli forces have killed eight more Palestinians in Gaza, adding to at least 118 killed since Friday—days after former President Trump called on Israel to halt its strikes. Displaced residents like Ibrahim Dib describe Gaza as a “genocide, a humanitarian extermination.” His words reflect the despair of a population suffering from bombing, famine, and forced displacement.

Meanwhile, Israel’s far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir staged a deliberately provocative visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, boasting that “we are the owners of the Temple Mount.” Such fanatic rhetoric only deepens hatred and undermines fragile cease-fire efforts now underway in Egypt, attended by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and regional mediators.

At the same time, Israeli forces have intercepted yet another humanitarian flotilla bringing food and medicine to Gaza’s starving hospitals—seizing both aid and passengers. Enough. The world must demand an end to these war crimes and collective punishments. True peace begins not with domination, but with justice, compassion, and the freedom of Palestinians to live with dignity. 

Growing anger over the shutdown - 10.8.2025

Donald Trump’s glee over a potential government shutdown may well come back to haunt him. A shutdown is not a sign of strength or leadership; it is a display of arrogance and disregard for millions of Americans who rely on functioning government services. Federal workers, families dependent on assistance, and countless small businesses all pay the price for one man’s political theater.

Trump treats disruption as a victory, but voters remember the chaos, the missed paychecks, and the loss of trust in government. His constant boasting about “fighting the system” only highlights his inability to govern responsibly. A president should protect the nation’s stability, not revel in its dysfunction.

The American people deserve better than another spectacle of self-inflicted harm. 

Stop the Starvation and End the Bombing in Gaza - 10.8.2025

Reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has mocked calls to end the bombing in Gaza are beyond disturbing. Every new round of airstrikes adds to the toll of over 100 more Palestinians civils killed, most of them children. Denying food, water, and medical supplies to a starving, trapped population is not defense—it is excessive cruelty.

All religious faiths teach compassion for the suffering and protection of the innocent. Yet the blockade continues, and hospitals and schools have become makeshift shelters for the wounded and displaced. This deliberate starvation mocks every moral and religious principle we claim to honor.

World leaders must act now. No more shipments of offensive weapons should be sent to a government that defies international law and basic humanity. Border crossings must be opened immediately for massive deliveries of food, clean water, and medical supplies.

Silence in the face of this suffering is complicity. The world must demand an end to this barbarity.

The Truth Buried Beneath Gaza’s Rubble - 10.5.2025

“Netanyahu Says Israel and Hamas Are on the Brink of a Hostage Deal,” scream the headlines — another example of corporate media bias drowning out the horrific reality in Gaza and the West Bank. On one widely watched news show, a guest even denied the existence of genocide and settler terrorism, as if the starvation and agony of Palestinians — mostly children — were fiction.

Prime Minister Netanyahu offers no credible explanation for halting food and medical aid, which now rots at the border while civilians perish. As a great spiritual teacher, Nanak, once said, “God is truth, but living the truth is higher.” Netanyahu has hijacked truth itself, deceiving the Israeli public to conceal his crimes and corruption.
The ongoing genocide, starvation, and bombings of hospitals, schools, and homes have been largely hidden or sanitized by the Israeli, U.S. and European media, whose remorseful words are contradicted by their governments’ steady flow of weapons to Israel. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Inside Gaza, emaciated survivors — many amputees — wander in search of food. The few remaining doctors and nurses, refusing to abandon their people, stand as humble saints amid this man-made hell. Foreign journalists are denied access, while those who dare to report have been killed by Israeli forces — because truth is what Netanyahu and his far-right allies fear most.

Yet, hope flickers as more nations recognize the right of Palestinians to statehood and freedom from decades of domination. The guilty include not only Israel but also the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, and Arab regimes whose silence betrays the growing anger of their people.

Justice Silenced in Palestine - 10.5.2025

Fareed Zakaria’s recent interview with the Palestinian Legal Advisor, Diana Buttu, offered a rare moment of clarity amid the fog of propaganda that dominates Western coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict. The advisor laid out, calmly and factually, how Israel’s occupation and repeated assaults on Gaza and the West Bank constitute clear violations of international law—crimes that would draw global outrage if committed by any other state.

Yet Zakaria’s questioning, while measured, reflected the double standard that continues to define U.S. media: pressing Palestinians to justify their survival while rarely holding Israeli leaders to account for decades of systemic violence, land theft, and the collective punishment of millions.

If genuine peace is ever to emerge, American journalism must confront uncomfortable truths rather than echo official talking points. Justice and human rights cannot remain conditional on political convenience.

The Law of Karma and the Fall of Morality - 10.4.2025

The Law of Karma teaches that what we sow, we shall reap. Across the world—and especially in the United States—this law is unfolding with painful clarity. For decades, we have plundered weaker nations with our military might, ignored God’s moral law, and terrorized the world in the name of “freedom.” Now, the same violence and decay return to us: ICE raids against desperate families, migrants dying at sea off Venezuela, and a society losing its conscience and democracy.

America’s record of destruction is long. The CIA and MI6 overthrew Iran’s democracy in 1953 to seize its oil. U.S.-backed coups in Central America created poverty and the migrant crisis. The native people of Diego Garcia were killed or expelled to make way for a U.S. base. Iraq was devastated for imaginary weapons; Afghanistan was abandoned after rejecting peace, leaving women in despair under Taliban rule.

In 1948, Zionist militias such as the Irgun and Hagenah, armed by massive shipments from Britain and the U.S., drove Palestinians from their homeland in the first Nakba, killing thousands. That same cycle of violence continues: tens of thousands slaughtered and starved in Gaza, Palestinians tortured and murdered in the West Bank—all under the watchful eyes of our Creator. Those who defy divine justice in pursuit of land and power now suffer the very law of Karma they once ignored.

Weapons continue to flow from the U.S. and Europe, nations guilty of monumental hypocrisy. The moral law is inescapable: those who live by cruelty, deceit, and greed will ultimately be judged by the same measure.

Palestinian rights - 10.3.2025

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.

Honoring the Saints of War Zones - 10.3.2025

In war zones from Sudan to Gaza, the world witnesses not only unimaginable suffering but also extraordinary courage. The recent killing of Dr. Atif al-Atta, a Sudanese physician who described the horrors of war just days before he was slain, reminds us of the incredible heroism of doctors and journalists who risk their lives daily to serve humanity and to tell the truth.

These men and women are modern-day saints. Doctors work in bombed-out hospitals, often with no supplies, treating the wounded and starving. Reporters step into danger to ensure the world cannot turn away. Their bravery embodies the highest ideals of service and sacrifice.
Religious leaders and communities in particular have a sacred obligation to raise their voices in defense of these heroes and the civilians they serve. Too often, silence or political expedience mutes moral clarity. If faith means anything, it must mean standing with those who give their lives for truth, healing, and justice.

The memory of Dr. al-Atta — and countless others like him — should awaken us to act, to speak, and to honor the sanctity of their sacrifice.

Israel’s Flotilla Raid: An Assault on Humanity and International Law - 10.2.2025

Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla marks yet another brazen violation of international law. In international waters, Israeli commandos boarded and seized ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, abducting 443 activists from 47 countries, including Greta Thunberg and Mandla Mandela. These activists were not armed aggressors but citizens of conscience delivering food, medicine, and supplies to a besieged population.

Israel claims its blockade is legal, but the International Court of Justice has already ruled that obstructing humanitarian missions is unlawful. As Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila noted, Israel is effectively admitting it is committing war crimes in Gaza. The global outcry—from street protests in major cities to condemnation by world leaders—reflects how deeply this assault undermines basic principles of justice and human dignity.

At the same time, Israel’s government has threatened Gaza City residents with death if they do not flee, branding all who remain as “terrorists.” This collective punishment is not security; it is genocide, aided by international silence.

The world must demand accountability—now.

Free Speech Is Not a Deportable Offense - 10.2.2025

A federal judge has delivered a damning verdict on the Trump administration’s campaign against pro-Palestinian voices. Judge William Young ruled that senior officials unlawfully targeted noncitizens—students and scholars—for deportation, not because of criminal acts, but because they dared to speak out for Palestinian rights. The administration relied on smear sites like Canary Mission and even used masked ICE agents in tactics more reminiscent of secret police than a democratic government.

The court found these actions violated the First Amendment and the Administrative Procedure Act, noting the obvious “chilling effect”: by making examples of a few, the government sought to silence thousands. Noncitizens lawfully present in the United States retain free speech protections, especially when engaging in political debate. Deporting people for their opinions is the very definition of viewpoint discrimination.

This ruling should be a warning. Using immigration powers as a weapon against dissent corrodes the foundations of democracy. Free speech is not a privilege for the few—it is a right for all who live here, and it must be defended without exception.

America in the Grip of Karma - 10.1.2025

America is in the tight grip of the “Law of Karma”: what you sow, so shall you reap. With full U.S. support, mass murder and starvation of Palestinian children continues. More and more IDF soldiers are refusing to participate in this war-criminal campaign against the Palestinian people. At the same time, countless amputees are forced to walk long distances in excruciating pain, suffering from hunger and brutal attacks by the IDF. Meanwhile, war criminal Netanyahu escapes jail time.

There is no safe place in Gaza—and no excuse for silence. Israel’s war on Gaza has reached another horrific milestone: 51 Palestinians killed in just 24 hours, including displaced families sheltering at al-Falah School in Gaza City. To add insult to injury, a so-called “peace plan” has been repackaged by the U.S., placing Tony Blair—whose bloody legacy from the Iraq War is undeniable—in charge.

Palestinian journalist Yahya Barzaq was killed while documenting the violence. Survivors like Atef Abu Jarad describe being directed to “safe zones,” only to be bombed, proving there is no refuge anywhere in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid and activists faces intimidation from Israeli naval forces, with the threat of illegal abductions in international waters.

Even in Israel, parents of soldiers and families of hostages are marching together, pleading for an end to the war. In the U.S., a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully targeted noncitizens for pro-Palestinian activism, affirming their constitutional right to free speech.
The cries from Gaza, the flotilla, Israeli families, and U.S. courts converge into one urgent demand: this war must end, and justice must prevail. Trump’- Israeli so-called peace plan is a complete sham—an insult to the Palestinian people.

Trump’s “Peace Plan” Is Just Genocide Repackaged - 10.1.2025

President Trump’s recently announced 20-point “peace plan” for Gaza is being hailed by some as a breakthrough, but in reality it is little more than a repackaging of Israel’s ongoing assault on Palestinians. Trump unveiled the proposal alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who quickly backed away from even its minimal promises, including a call for eventual troop withdrawal. Tellingly, Palestinians were not consulted in the plan’s creation.

Palestinian human rights attorney Diana Buttu rightly calls the proposal “certainly not a plan that is going to end the genocide.” Instead, it ensures continued Israeli control, with vague provisions for international oversight led by Trump himself under a so-called “Board of Peace.” Guarantees in the plan are extended solely to Israel—none to Palestinians. Even the claim of offering a “pathway” to Palestinian statehood is contradicted by Netanyahu’s outright rejection of such a goal.

True peace cannot be dictated by those who are carrying out or supporting the violence. Palestinians should not be forced to “negotiate an end to their genocide.” A genuine peace plan must begin with accountability, justice, and Palestinian self-determination—not cosmetic repackaging.
