South Asian Minority Watch (SAM WATCH) vehemently condemns Israel’s renewed military assault on Gaza, which has shattered a ceasefire agreement and escalated systemic violence in clear violation of international law. Over 400 Palestinian lives, including women and children, have been extinguished in indiscriminate airstrikes, compounding a humanitarian crisis and defying global calls for peace. The offensive, intensified during the sacred month of Ramadan, underscores Israel’s blatant disregard for human rights and ceasefire obligations, further entrenching its decades-long pattern of crimes against humanity.
By targeting civilian infrastructure, enforcing a suffocating blockade, and obstructing critical humanitarian aid, Israeli forces are deliberately rendering Gaza uninhabitable—a strategy corroborated by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), which has repeatedly documented Israel’s atrocities. These acts of collective punishment and apartheid policies epitomize a relentless campaign of oppression against the Palestinian people. As an organization rooted in the defense of justice and human dignity, SAM WATCH reaffirms unwavering solidarity with Palestine’s struggle for liberation. We urge the United Nations, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and all nations committed to peace to act decisively. Israel’s impunity for illegal occupation, war crimes, and ethnic violence must end. Immediate investigations, prosecutions, and sanctions are imperative to halt this genocide and advance a future of equality and self-determination for Palestinians. The world’s silence is complicity—justice delayed is justice denied.
