Manufactured Origins
“Those who condemn what happened on October 7 must not ignore the catastrophe inflicted on an entire people.
This is the problem we see in today’s world: the double standard. Humanity cannot be divided.
Just as the world condemns what happened on October 7, it must also condemn the crimes committed against our Palestinian people.
But the real question is: Who led us to October 7? Who brought Gaza to this catastrophe?
The answer is simple but critical:
Those who filled the world with speeches about peace did nothing on the ground to make peace real.
While conferences were held and treaties were signed, apartheid walls rose, Palestinian lands were stolen, and new settlements spread—as if these agreements were just ink on paper, offering nothing to Palestinians and doing nothing to build a just peace.
Today’s tragedy stems from the fact that the Palestinian cause was never resolved—and instead, a conspiracy to erase it has been unfolding.
They speak of peace, but never of justice. They want the Palestinian to live besieged, humiliated, stripped of the most basic human rights.
Yes, we reject what happened on October 7 and wish it had never happened.
But we also reject the monstrous crimes being committed now against a defenseless people, trapped in a dirty war meant to crush their cause.
Those who stay silent, who conspire, or who support the aggression on Gaza bear deep responsibility—for decades they failed to help free the Palestinian land and people from occupation, so that they too might live with dignity and freedom like the rest of the world.”
