World Quds Day is being observed this year under the backdrop of one of the worst murder and genocide cases in recorded history. The severe humanitarian crisis that has occurred during the last six months in Palestine, especially in Gaza, reveals a further terrible aspect of the long-standing violation of the rights of the persecuted yet resilient Palestinian people in an occupied land in defiance of international law. It also represents the overt use of force and intimidation by an illegitimate and transient Israeli authority against the legitimate and original residents of Palestine.
Israeli criminals are killing Palestinian women, men, and children; hospitals, clinics, relief centers, mosques, and churches are not exempt from the horror of this regime.
In the Gaza Strip, there has been ongoing genocide and the commission of various war crimes. In just six months, over 33,000 Palestinians—the majority of them women and children—were mass murdered. The Israeli regime has also repeatedly prevented food, medicine, and humanitarian aid from reaching the entire Gaza Strip and has used hunger as a weapon against its citizens in an attempt to force them into Sinai and Jordan.
Now that the entire world can see it, one of the hazardous goals of the Israeli regime’s complete blockade of the Gaza Strip and its population’ inability to receive critical humanitarian aid is to set the stage for the social and civil collapse of Gaza and eliminating all signs of life as well as the historical and civilizational identity of Palestine.
