Why is it that when destruction happens, those who suffer the most have the least say in their future?
Palestine’s land has been taken, its people displaced, and yet the conversation about their future is being held between the destructor and its supporters. The surrounding countries are expected to absorb the consequences—why? The destruction wasn’t their doing. Why must they carry the cost of someone else’s actions?
It’s the same with Ukraine. A brutal invasion, yet peace talks happen without centering the people who were attacked. How can peace be real if it excludes the voices of those who suffered the most?
We’ve normalized these patterns. Powerful nations dictate terms. Victims become bystanders in their own fate.
But should we accept this as normal? Or should we ask—Whose voice really counts?
