Endless tragedy

Baha Rahal

On the door of the cemetery in Khan Yunis is a sign that reads: “Dear public, there are no graves. The cemetery is full and there are no empty graves. There is no place for the dead.”
A sign at the cemetery door tells the full extent of the catastrophe. For those who haven't heard or seen what's been broadcast on satellite channels all the time, it's enough for them to read that sign to understand the extent of the grief and tragedy, and to realize that the genocide has taken its toll. The chapters of killing, destruction, and annihilation have not yet ended, but rather continue under the law of the extremist government, which rejects all attempts by mediators, just as it has so far rejected President Trump's call, even if it wasn't as serious as he said when it came to the war between Israel and Iran. When will President Trump come out and stop the genocide? Everyone knows that he is the only one capable of halting this genocide, halting the destruction and killing, and imposing his decision on Netanyahu and his racist government.
The continuation of the genocide means more martyrs and wounded, more devastation, destruction and hunger, and more misery and oppression.
To this day, mediators are making strenuous efforts to reach a ceasefire, but to no avail. Witkoff's proposals have also failed to resolve the disputes, nor have they led to an agreement that would lift the injustice suffered by the people of Gaza and halt the raging, bloody, and brutal war.
The genocide has already taken its toll, a genocide that will remain the most horrific war and the most horrific act of annihilation the twenty-first century has ever witnessed. Its horrors have exceeded the limits of imagination and expectation, and its hours have dragged on, lasting for months and days. International institutions have been absent, UN charters and international laws have been violated in the worst possible way, and the occupying soldiers have indulged in their barbarism, committing acts unparalleled by beasts, and they have been more hideous than any description.
Trump's lack of seriousness so far in forcing Israel to stop its war, and his hesitation in making a decision to immediately halt the genocide, is what is pushing Netanyahu to continue his war and escalate his operations in Gaza and the West Bank, alongside the settlement and Judaization war in Jerusalem. If real and effective international pressure is not exerted, this war is likely to continue, with its accompanying repercussions. This is what is driving members of the occupation government to exploit Trump's lack of seriousness and the state of international silence, and to push for more killing, destruction, and devastation.
It's like an endless war, a hell that extends to every corner, every neighborhood, and every street. This is the state of Gaza, whose land is filled with graves. As for those who are alive, they live under siege, amidst hunger, thirst, and destruction, and under the bombardment of aircraft and the hell of extermination.
