The Holocaust taught humanity a painful lesson: indifference to suffering allows injustice to flourish. "Never Again" was meant to be a universal promise, not a selective one. Yet today, as Palestinians endure war, displacement, hunger and loss, too many governments and institutions remain silent, while others seek to suppress dissenting voices calling for human rights and justice.
Reports of FBI raids on pro-Palestinian activists in Michigan raise serious concerns about the protection of free speech and the right to peaceful protest. In a democracy, citizens must be free to speak out against war, oppression and human suffering without fear of intimidation.
History judges not only those who commit injustices, but also those who look away. The tragedy of indifference is repeating itself when cries for justice are ignored or silenced.
People of conscience everywhere must continue to raise their voices peacefully and persistently. The answer to injustice is not silence but greater engagement, greater compassion and greater solidarity. Let our protests grow louder until human rights, dignity and justice are upheld for all Palestinians.
