The legendary American Nobel laureate artist Bob Dylan sang in his timeless 1962 song Blowin’ in the Wind:
"Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind."
The answer was floating in the wind back then, and it still is today. But under the devastated skies of Gaza, there are no answers—only ruins, the blood-stained corpses of children, and the heartbreaking cries of an annihilated nation.
The revolutionary Jamaican artist Bob Marley once sang in War:
"Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war."
That very war is raging in Gaza today—not just war, but a premeditated genocide. Israeli aggression is no longer confined to occupation; it is a carefully orchestrated blueprint for the complete eradication of a people.
In the face of such a tragic defeat of humanity, why does the world remain silent? Gaza has become a massive graveyard. Each ruin buries a dream, a family, a nation's future. Violating the UN Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and all international laws, the occupying force of Israel continues its relentless genocide. Women, children, the elderly—none are spared. Hospitals, schools, refugee camps—everything has become a target of their bombings.
Even global powers know that this is not a bilateral war but a one-sided massacre. Because they themselves are its sponsors. By providing weapons, funding, and diplomatic support, they have licensed Israel’s genocide. Why are the self-proclaimed champions of democracy silent now? Will justice forever remain enslaved to the ruling elite?
Our unwavering stance is with Palestine, with oppressed humanity. The cries of the persecuted are our collective outcry. We raise our voices against this barbaric massacre. We vehemently condemn Israel’s genocide and hold its backers accountable.
We firmly support the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, freedom, and sovereignty. We demand:
- • Immediate cessation of Israeli aggression.
- • Lifting of the siege on Gaza.
- • Full recognition of the Palestinian people's right to establish their own state.
- • The world must stand for humanity, not arm the war-mongers.
We believe that those who remain silent today will not be forgiven by history. Those who turn a blind eye to the genocide in Gaza will one day have to answer before the conscience of humanity.
The legendary Beatles musician John Lennon sang in Imagine:
"Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one."
We, too, cry out in unison: We are not alone. You must join us on the path of justice, my friend. We want to live together as one humanity, in a world free from division and discrimination.
