Genocide in Gaza: A Crime Against Humanity

There are only three weeks left for Israel’s bloodshed in Gaza to complete two full years. So far, over 65,000 people have been killed. Millions continue to suffer — many of them the living dead. Sixty percent of Gaza’s population is starving. According to official figures, at least seven children have already died of hunger. The truth is certainly far worse. In a desperate bid for safety, the population has been forced to flee — again and again — from their homes, their lands, and even the shelters they thought might offer refuge.

What is happening in Gaza is a calculated, brutal genocide, confirmed by a United Nations commission. And yet, as if this were not enough, Israel has now opened another front in its campaign of military terror: “Gideon Chariots – 2”, a new phase aimed at redrawing the map of Gaza itself. Large parts of the territory will be seized by Israel, while Gaza is pushed into a narrow strip of coast — turned into a besieged enclave, cut off from its own land.

According to Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestine, Israel’s real agenda is far more sinister. “The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) are now targeting Gaza City, the last remaining urban center. But far-right Zionists in Israel are also laying out plans to annex the West Bank alongside Gaza.”

While the UN General Assembly passed a resolution reaffirming that a two-state solution is the only viable path toward ending the conflict, Israel responded by escalating its ground invasion. In doing so, the international community, including India, stands complicit in the genocide. Countries like the U.S., Germany, and Australia openly support Israel, shielding it from accountability.

India, a signatory to the 1948 Genocide Convention, continues its weapons trade and deepening diplomatic ties with the apartheid regime. Shockingly, the Modi government last week signed a new bilateral free trade agreement with Israel — a move that is not only morally indefensible, but also a blatant violation of international law, according to legal experts.

In summary, the genocide in Gaza is not just Israel’s crime — it is a global crime, carried out with the weapons, funds, silence, and political protection of the capitalist-imperialist world order.

More journalists have been killed in Gaza than during any previous war in history, according to a UN report. The IDF has deliberately murdered 252 journalists. This is not collateral damage — this is systematic extermination. First, they are labeled “terrorists.” Then, they are hunted and eliminated. This is the Israeli doctrine. Human rights workers, healthcare providers, and even Red Cross volunteers are putting their lives on the line to serve under siege.

It’s not just Gaza. The entire Middle East is being destabilised by Zionist aggression — extending now to Iran, Syria, and even Qatar. The recent attack in Qatar targeted participants of a U.S.-brokered negotiation, shutting down yet another possible route to prisoner exchange and peace in Gaza.

But resistance is growing. Mass protests are erupting across the globe against the genocide. Countries like France, Spain, Canada, and the UK have issued warnings that they may officially recognize Palestine as a state unless the bloodshed ends. On the 12th of this month, 142 countries, including India, supported the UN resolution to revive the two-state solution. Only 12 countries opposed it. These shifts in international posture are driven by rising public outrage even within Western nations — where the streets are rejecting the lies of imperialist media and standing with Palestine.

The attack on Qatar has unexpectedly united Arab and Muslim nations. And so, the world now looks to the UN General Assembly beginning on the 23rd, where heads of state will gather in New York. Despite its limitations and repeated failures, this global stage could still hold hope — perhaps even lead to Israel’s political isolation.

Gaza today is the front-line of the global anti-imperialist struggle. In its blood and rubble, the truth of a world order driven by capital, settler colonialism, and militarised fascism is being laid bare. And in the eyes of Palestine's children, we see a burning demand for justice — a demand that no empire can suppress forever.
