Yesterday marked a full 1,000 days since the war of genocide was launched by the Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip. Since October 7, 2023, in full view and hearing of the world an ethnic cleansing campaign, has been normalised, sanitised and laundered by the media class to subdue the public into acceptance.
Israel's genocide has since left Gaza in ruins, the Board of Peace falters, and Israel expands control of the besieged enclave, while continuing to violate the "ceasefire" in almost daily attacks.
There is no end in sight, as Israel's genocidal war in Palestine's Gaza goes on and on. More than 2,700 families have been wiped out from the civil registry, over 90% of the enclave lies in ruins, and more than a million children are surviving on just one meal a day.
1,000 days of the open slaughter of innocent civilians, a 1,000 days of unbearable weight, and still, the world keeps turning as if nothing has been broken. What has been exposed is not only devastation, but the collapse of so many illusions about humanity, justice, and accountability, stripped bare in full view of everyone.
According to official data in Gaza, the war of genocide over the 1,000 days has claimed the lives of more than 73,000 Palestinians, and injured more than 173,000 others, and civilians formed the vast majority of the victims, including 21,500 children and 12,500 women, representing 55% of the total.
In in addition to about 1,700 doctors and workers in the health sector, 300 civil defense personnel and municipality crews, and 262 journalists, many of whom were directly targeted while performing their work.
Researchers and medical journals such as The Lancet have said the actual numbers may be much higher, potentially in the hundreds of thousands if counting indirect deaths.The impact the genocide had on Gaza’s health infrastructure and the rest of the enclave imposed significant limitations on the strip’s authorities , resulting in an undercount of casualties.
Since the announcement of the Trump plan in October 2025, Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians. Thousands more still missing under the rubble, maimed, and an entire generation traumatized.
Hundreds of doctors, nurses, and paramedics have been arrested, taken from the hands of their patients, and from operating rooms, leaving an already fragile healthcare system to collapse under continuous destruction. Without charges, without fair trials.
Dozens of them remain behind bars, detained for long months perhaps even years in painful silence. Over the past two years, testimonies have emerged from behind the walls. speaking of severe hunger, deliberate neglect, and mistreatment that amounts to torture.
These are not just stories, but realities that have contributed to the deaths of at least 103 Palestinian prisoners, including five doctors from Gaza. Five who once saved the lives of others And despite everything their names are still alive in our hearts, their absence is still deeply painful, and hope still lives on that they will return free, as they always were, lifesavers, not prisoners behind bars.
Every number is a human story: a child yearning for safety, a father struggling to protect his family, and communities clinging to hope amidst unspeakable suffering. Lives filled with displacement, killing, bombing, destruction, chaos, closed crossings, and the prevention of food, medicine, and water.
Days of fear, of constant exhaustion, fatigue and uncertainty for countless families.I,000 days without stability.1,000 days of surviving, not living. Days of unbearable grief and endless waiting.1,000 days of longing to return home. 1,000 days of waiting for a morning without fear, a night without bombs, and a future children deserve.
Many western governments, directly or indirectly supported Israel during these 1000 days. Complicity will need to be met with consequences! The Israeli occupation and states supporting it are reminded they bear full moral, legal, and historical responsibility for this profound humanitarian catastrophe. And history will not be kind to the bystanders, the deniers, or those who have enabled it.
Today there are more graves than homes in Gaza. We have witnessed, and continue to witness, the erasure of a people in the most brutal genocide in modern times.Today the clock has not stopped, the souls are still being stolen, and justice feels like a dream.
And yet, even through this long darkness, something refuses to die: testimony, memory, and the simple insistence that these lives are not allowed to be forgotten or reduced to silence. Never forget! Never forgive! Keep speaking about this genocide.
Freedom is not a privilege reserved for some; it is a right that loses its meaning when denied to others. Our humanity is bound together. The chains placed on one people weigh on us all, whether we choose to see them or not. Silence does not make us free; indifference does not make us innocent.
Every human being deserves safety, dignity, and the chance to live in peace. Until every child can sleep without fear, every family can live with dignity, and every people can determine their own future, the work of freedom remains unfinished. No one is truly free while another people live under siege, occupation, fear, or dispossession. So we speak, we remember, and we stand together.
Free Palestine was never just a trend, it was a steadfast commitment and an unwavering goal. As friends and fellow human beings, please do not forget Gaza. Continue to raise your voices for peace, justice, human dignity, and the protection of civilians everywhere. Whatever our origins, our shared humanity should unite us.
To this day, Palestinians continue to be massacred by an apartheid regime. Ceasefire in name isn’t enough, we need a permanent end to this suffering. We need a full arms embargo now and to bring perpetrators to justice.
People in the UK are marking the 1,000th day of the ongoing genocide in Gaza this weekend. The milestone is being commemorated with rallies and silent marches across Europe, including a demonstration in Cardiff on Saturday, July 4th, organized by a coalition of faith, peace, and community groups.Free Palestine.
