“It will be written—

that 8 billion people,

194 nations,

every toothless UN hall,

every court, every council, every so-called army of peace—

stood still.

While one settler colony,

backed by empire,

rained U.S. steel on schools, hospitals, bakeries,

and on children’s backs as they fled from tents.

It will be remembered—

not only who dropped the bombs,

but who watched.

Who calculated.

Who delayed.

Who shrugged.

A genocidal regime turned Gaza into a graveyard—

and the world

lowered its eyes.

Shame is too small a word.”
