I have seen many posts from people who feel this is a victory, that the so-called war between Israel and Hamas is now over. But calling it a war is misleading. It was never a war. It was a massacre, and it was not against Hamas but against the Palestinian people. Israel has been clear about its intent: to erase, to destroy, to silence an entire population. So do not tell me this was a fight for security or survival. This was an assault on existence itself.
When thousands of civilians are killed, when hospitals and schools are reduced to dust, when children grow up knowing loss before language, humanity has already lost. There are no winners in this. There never were. What remains is shame, not victory. This is not a historic triumph. It is a historic disgrace, a wound that will stain the conscience of the world for generations.
Israel will never honor any peace deal. History has proven that repeatedly, from 1948 until now. Every ceasefire has been a pause before another assault, every promise another deception. How can anyone speak of peace when one side continues to occupy, to expand, to humiliate, and to kill without consequence? No one can live with such neighbors—neighbors who claim victimhood while practicing oppression, who have shown their true face to the world decade after decade.
And please, stop misusing the hoax of October 7th as justification for genocide. What happened that day does not excuse what has been happening every day since 1948. It does not justify the slaughter of children, the destruction of hospitals, or the starvation of entire communities. Using that tragedy as a shield for war crimes is moral corruption at its highest level.
What we have witnessed is what happens when conscience fades and power becomes more important than morality. No one bombs their way to peace. No one starves a child and calls it security. No one destroys a nation and dares to claim that God stands with them. To speak of humiliation and pride while children dig through rubble for their parents is not strength. It is cruelty wearing the mask of honor.
The true victors are not those holding guns or waving flags. They are the ones who still share their last piece of bread, who continue to pray for peace while surrounded by ruin. They are the ones who, even in unbearable grief, whisper “Let us not hate.” Their faith, compassion, and resilience are what remain pure when the rest of the world turns away.
So no, this is not an Israeli victory. This is a human tragedy. History will remember it not with pride but with shame. Shame for those who justified it. Shame for those who stayed silent. Shame for those who called it peace while innocence was buried beneath their words.
When the world forgets how to feel, when empathy becomes weakness, when justice becomes selective, that is when humanity dies long before the war ever does.
