Imagine Losing Your Home

How would you feel if one day you woke up to find that your home had been bombed to rubble, and you were then told to pack up your life and move to another country? Not a relocation for a fresh start, but a forced exile imposed by the very nation that reduced your home to dust. Imagine being bombed out of Britain and being told to move to France, who, despite saying they haven’t the room, have been told to take you in or face sanctions.

The Reality in Gaza

This is maybe a hypothetical scenario here, but it is the stark reality unfolding in Gaza. In a deliberate act of aggression, Gaza has been flattened by Israel, not as a defensive measure, but with the chilling intent of displacing Palestinians and seizing their land. The brutality of this process mirrors a warped ideology where destruction is rationalised as a path to peace a concept that seems to echo the so-called Trump ideology of peace. Flatten a country, force its people to concede their territory, and then claim that everything will be peaceful. One might think it’s a perverse joke, but the consequences are anything but humorous.

Anger, Revenge, and the Seeds of Terror

The aftermath of such devastation is not silence, it never is. It is the inevitable surge of anger and despair. Imagine the fury that builds when families are uprooted and communities dismantled. In such an environment, anger quickly morphs into a potent force. History teaches us that when people are stripped of their homes and dignity, many of them turn to extreme measures. Terror groups inevitably emerge, not simply out of a desire for chaos, but as a desperate cry for justice in an effort to force occupiers to reconsider their brutal actions.

The Price of Peace

Forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, and the systematic erasure of a peoples history and rights are not hallmarks of peace. They are an affront to human dignity and a precursor to further conflict. The idea that obliterating a community and then annexing its land could ever lead to harmony is not only naive it is dangerous. True peace cannot be built on the ruins of ethnic cleansing and terror; it must be founded on respect for human rights, justice, and the acknowledgment of historical grievances.

Let us not be fooled by narratives that equate destruction with progress. Real peace is achieved not through the flattening of cities or the forced displacement of entire communities, but through dialogue, mutual respect, and a commitment to justice for all. Think about it. If you lost family, your home and your human rights and then got approached by someone offering a chance to hit back, what would you do?

Only you can answer that but tens of thousands would say “where do I sign?” and who could blame them?

And Trump calls that peace?
