Perhaps the most terrifying thing about Gaza was not that the world allowed it to happen. It was discovering that Gaza was only the beginning.

 

All the speeches, protests, resolutions, international laws, red lines, condemnations, and promises of “never again” have apparently taught this monster nothing.

 

This morning, Israeli strikes completely destroyed Ghandour Hospital in southern Lebanon.

 

Another hospital !! Another building once meant for healing reduced to rubble.

 

We watched hospitals in Gaza bombed, besieged, evacuated, burned and destroyed. We were told Gaza was exceptional. We were told the world was watching. International institutions issued statements. Governments expressed “concern.”

People marched through capitals demanding that there must be a line even war is not allowed to cross.

 

And now we are watching those lines disappear somewhere else.

 

Again.

We are living through a dark age in which military power and money seem capable of crushing almost everything humanity spent generations pretending was sacred: international law, hospitals, homes, places of worship, trees, memory, and human life itself.

 

And perhaps that is what terrifies me most.

 

Not only that these things are being destroyed, but that the world is being trained to watch their destruction and continue with its day.

 

A hospital becomes rubble. A neighborhood disappears. A family becomes photographs. Another condemnation is written.

 

And elsewhere, people wake up, drink their coffee, go to work, come home, and sleep.

 

I once believed that knowing what happened would be enough to make humanity afraid of repeating it.

 

Now I understand the more terrible possibility:

Human beings can know.

They can remember.

They can build museums to the dead, teach their names in schools, write “never again” above their graves; and still allow another human being to become rubble.

 

It happened.

Therefore it could happen again.

 

Perhaps the mistake was believing that “again” would look exactly like the first time.

 

If hell is a place where power can destroy human beings, homes, hospitals, memory, and life itself, while those who built laws to prevent it discover that their laws cannot make it stop, then perhaps hell does not require another world.

 

Perhaps it requires only this one,

and enough people willing to continue their day.

"... Children ran barefoot through the storm, wearing thin summer clothes in winter rain, not with the wild beauty poets imagine, but with the quiet tragedy of a people trapped in their fourth season of exile. Their tents sagged under the downpour, the earth beneath them dissolving into mud, and because the homes that once held them are now dust, the sky itself has become their only roof. A roof that bleeds cold, punishes bone, and spares no heart beneath it. This city has become the throne of eternal grief.... One day, perhaps, the scribes of some future scripture will write: Gaza, the land where the forsaken walked, where angels wept, and where even storms remembered to grieve." Dr. Ezzideen

"It feels as if the Hand that shaped the heavens has turned its face away from this land, leaving its people to breathe sorrow the way exiles breathe the cold of outer darkness. 

 

Gaza is no longer a city; it is a place cast out of creation, a forgotten limb of the world, a valley where even fallen angels would tremble to descend. 

 

Today was meant to be my single day of rest, the one hour in the week when my spirit could loosen its chains and drift into silence. 

 

But Gaza does not grant rest to any soul. 

 

Gaza is the place where rest goes to die. 

 

Gaza gives nothing; Gaza only receives the weight of human suffering.

 

I woke early, not by my own will, but to thunder breaking open the sky as though the heavens themselves were mourning. 

 

For a heartbeat, I cursed the sound, and then remembrance struck me: more than seventy percent of Gaza’s people now live beneath cloth instead of ceilings. 

 

And truthfully, calling them “tents” is already a mercy. `

 

These are not dwellings; they are scraps of defeated fabric trembling in the wind, veils meant more to hide human humiliation than to shield from rain. 

 

They stand as frail testaments to those forced to sleep within them, as if stitched by angels who had lost their wings. 

 

I looked out the window. Children ran barefoot through the storm, wearing thin summer clothes in winter rain, not with the wild beauty poets imagine, but with the quiet tragedy of a people trapped in their fourth season of exile. 

 

Their tents sagged under the downpour, the earth beneath them dissolving into mud, and because the homes that once held them are now dust, the sky itself has become their only roof. 

 

A roof that bleeds cold, punishes bone, and spares no heart beneath it. 

 

This city has become the throne of eternal grief. Here, God seems to gather those He has marked with sorrow upon their foreheads. This is not a city. It is a mausoleum of memory, a curse carved into the earth, a wound so deep it demands a new word in the language of the heavens. 

 

One day, perhaps, the scribes of some future scripture will write: Gaza, the land where the forsaken walked, where angels wept, and where even storms remembered to grieve. #WoundedGaza"

"She was a shadow in human shape, curled in the ruins of a kitchen that no longer existed, feeding her infant an empty spoon. Over and over. “Eat,” she whispered, as if mercy could be faked long enough to save him. And the child obeyed. Because hunger makes gods of mothers, even when they have nothing left to give but lies.

I saw a woman today. 

No. She was not a woman. 

She was a shadow in human shape, curled in the ruins of a kitchen that no longer existed, feeding her infant an empty spoon. 

 

 Over and over. 

 

“Eat,” she whispered, as if mercy could be faked long enough to save him. 

 

And the child obeyed. Because hunger makes gods of mothers, even when they have nothing left to give but lies. 

 

This is not famine. This is theology. 

This is where faith is tried like meat over flame; slowly, until it screams. 

 

In Gaza, children are not raised. They are rationed. Born between airstrikes, raised under sanctions, educated in silence. 

 

Here, death is no longer a tragedy. It is a statistic. It does not come like a thief in the night. 

It comes like the postman; regularly, predictably, professionally. 

 

 They send trucks. Not enough. Never enough. Ten thousand people chase one truck, like dogs beneath the emperor’s table. 

 

And the world says, “Why do they fight like animals?” 

Because they are starving. Because they are forgotten. Because this was always the plan. 

 

Yes, the starvation is by design. 

Not just to kill, but to unmake. 

To peel back human skin until only impulse remains. So that one day, when they eat each other, the world may say, “See? We were right all along.” 

 

But I ask you: 

 

If a child starves in the dark, while men argue over borders, and priests preach of patience, and human rights organizations hold another symposium.  

 

What is the value of that child’s life? 

Less than your comfort? 

Less than your belief in a just world? 

 

 If a single child must die for your silence, if one infant must be buried beneath rubble so that your country may have good diplomatic standing, then I say: 

 

Return your progress. 

Return your civilization. 

Return your peace. 

 

I do not want it. 

 

You say, “This is war.” 

 

No. War ends. This is eternal. 

 

This is the organized execution of hope.  And somewhere in the dust, beneath the broken mosques and blood-streaked bread lines, God is watching. 

 

But I do not know if He is weeping, or choking on His own shame.
