If this war with Hamas was truly about the Palestinian people, then why is no one celebrating the victory President Trump has achieved — bringing an end to the war, restoring peace to the Middle East, and setting the stage for a brighter future where Palestinians can finally succeed?
Instead of celebration, we are witnessing horror. Barely days after the so-called “peace signing,” Hamas has turned its weapons inward, slaughtering fellow Palestinians in cold blood. The same terrorist regime that claimed to fight for “freedom” is now murdering its own people in the streets of Gaza, executing anyone accused of dissent or of supporting peace. So, where is the outrage? Where are the protests? Where are the same college campuses that once screamed “Free Palestine”?
Silence. Deafening silence
The truth is unavoidable: it was never really about the Palestinian people. The world’s so-called human-rights champions and moral voices were never fighting for Palestinian prosperity or freedom — they were fighting against Israel. The Palestinian cause was merely a political and ideological weapon, a convenient excuse to spread antisemitism under the disguise of justice.
If it were truly about the people of Gaza, those same celebrities, student groups, and self-proclaimed “activists” would be in the streets today celebrating — celebrating that peace was achieved, that the bombing has stopped, that Palestinians finally have a chance to rebuild and prosper. But they are not celebrating. Not one march, not one vigil, not one social media post of gratitude or hope.
Instead, they have vanished — silent as Hamas turns its guns inward, slaughtering its own people after the so-called peace signing. The very movement they glorified is now murdering Palestinians in cold blood, while the global voices who claimed to champion human rights avert their eyes and move on to the next fashionable cause.
Meanwhile, President Trump — through courage, strength, and clarity — delivered what the world claimed to want: an end to the bloodshed and a path toward coexistence. For the first time in years, there was hope for regional stability and economic growth that could lift all sides. Yet the global elites, academics, and media who spent years demanding “peace” can’t bring themselves to acknowledge or celebrate it — because it came from a man they love to hate, and because it dismantles the narrative they’ve built around perpetual conflict.
It is time to stop pretending. This was never about justice, never about peace, never about the Palestinian people. It was always about demonizing Israel, isolating the Jewish people, and normalizing antisemitism under progressive slogans.
Where are the international organizations now, as Hamas massacres Palestinians after the peace signing? Where are the human-rights commissions and cultural icons who claim to care about human life? Where are the university presidents who permitted hate rallies in the name of “freedom”?
Nowhere to be found. Their silence speaks louder than their slogans ever did.
So yes — the truth is out. The world doesn’t care about the Palestinians. It never did. The “Palestinian cause” has always been a convenient mask for hatred, and the world has willingly worn it.
Shame on the colleges.
Shame on their leadership.
Shame on every nation and institution that turned a blind eye to murder — because admitting the truth would expose their hypocrisy.
History will remember this moment — not only for the peace President Trump achieved, but for the world’s moral failure to celebrate it. When Hamas’s victims are Palestinians and not Israelis, the silence becomes proof of what this conflict was always about.
The mask has fallen. What remains is the ugly face of global antisemitism — and the undeniable truth that peace exposes the world’s hate more than war ever could.
