October 7 opened my eyes to something I had never fully understood: that, in some cases, a person’s skin color, faith, or race can determine whether their death is mourned, whether they are remembered, and whether the people responsible for killing them are relentlessly pursued.
What happened on October 7 was horrific, and the killing of innocent people should never be justified. But what happened in the aftermath was something I struggled to comprehend—the enormous death and destruction, the killing of children, women, men, and even animals, and the deaths of more than 60,000 innocent people.
What shocked me even more was how little sympathy and attention many Western governments and media outlets showed toward those innocent lives.
That is what opened my eyes: the realization that, for some people, your skin color, faith, or identity can determine how much your life is valued and how much your death matters.
And to the people who mock, condemn, or pressure Palestinians who have lost their children, their families, and everything they have, demanding that they admit they were wrong all along and that, no matter what happens to them, they should never resist, react, or speak out: remember that God is the ultimate witness. On the Day of Judgment, there will be people who will be asked what they did, what they supported, what they ignored, and how they treated the suffering of others. I pray that none of us takes that accountability lightly.
