Palestine

Human empathy is at rock bottom. Nearly gone. The fact that so many people feel nothing while a population suffers the consequences of genocide is a clear sign we’ve hit moral collapse. It’s not an exaggeration to say that with the loss of human values, we’ve lost the very meaning of being. When we devalue the lives of others, we devalue our own.

It’s hard to find even a minimum of empathy. We’ve become detached from reality—both as a society and as individuals. We’re overwhelmed by distractions that keep us from seeing what truly matters.

For days, I’ve been seeing unbearably cruel images online. Gaza is the stage of horror, and almost all the photos and videos circulating show a massacre being broadcast live.

Every day, I share on Instagram and Facebook stories the atrocities I come across in the media: press reports, videos from journalists and media professionals, and especially images filmed on mobile phones by Gazans themselves, documenting their own extermination. The images are so brutal it’s hard to breathe. The suffering of the Palestinian people pierces through the screen.

The situation is unbearable. Every day I see images from Gaza shared on social media and other news outlets. There is a genocide. Mutilated children, lifeless bodies, hunger, death by starvation, cities and towns completely destroyed, terror, sadness, hopelessness, despair… The massacre of the Palestinian people carried out, day after day, by the murderous state of Israel.
