Hawzah News Agency- Gaza is not a tragedy of politics; it is the moral collapse of the world order itself. The bombed hospitals, starved families, flesh on the walls, the blood pools in playgrounds, have stripped away the illusion that the so-called defenders of human rights still possess a conscience.
The world not only failed Gaza; it failed its own humanity, and heralded the era of monsters.
The silence of Western governments and their active complicity has turned the genocide in Gaza into the most damning indictment of our age. The same powers that lecture the world on democracy and human rights are arming the occupation, vetoing ceasefires, and criminalizing dissent.
The “rules-based international order” is not collapsing; it is revealing itself. Built on centuries of colonial hierarchy, it was never intended to protect the oppressed but to preserve the privileges of empire. The same logic that once justified colonialism in Africa and Asia now sustains the occupation of Palestine.
Even the humanitarian machinery built around this order has revealed its own moral emptiness. Many governments and NGOs have watched the horror in Gaza and chosen symbolism over substance.
In Gaza, Palestinians juggled evading Israeli fire and putting on a show to garner the world's sympathy. And the world sat and watched: One for the money, two for the show.
If the world continues to alienate itself from Gaza’s suffering, it will not be the end of Palestine alone, it will be the end of humanity’s claim to morality.
Right now, Gaza is the sanctuary of the last drop of humanity. In the ruins, we see both: the beginning of the end of a spiritually empty empire, and the final test of our moral integrity.
