I have no idea what kind of human being you are. What kind of conscience do you possess that doesn't tremble at the sight of children starving in Gaza? No child should ever have to endure such brutality. No parent should have to cower in despair, knowing they cannot protect their children or provide for them. Kids go to sleep not knowing where the next meal comes from or if they will live another day.

You appear to the world with a cold face, denying famine and claiming there is no crisis there. But Gaza doesn't need your affirmation, Mr. Witkoff. Gaza is soaked in blood and tears and runs out of space for new graves. The images we receive daily on our screens are not rumors. The cries of mothers are not Hamas propaganda and children going to sleep without food are not numbers in a fake report. What you said is shameful, disgraceful, and lacks human decency.

Have you ever listened this week to Anthony Aguilar, a retired US army soldier who worked as a security subcontractor for the Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) tasked with delivering aid to the besieged Palestinian enclave? His exclusive testimony according to France 24, Aguilar reveals untold and harrowing details about the GHF aid operation in Gaza. He quit in a protest after serving for just a few weeks after he saw American contractors and IDF soldiers intentionally and mercilessly killing women and children as they stood in humiliation to pick up some aid. 

Shame on you first as a human being and second as a diplomat who is supposed to represent the voice of justice and global conscience. Your bold face lie will not pass without a trace, for history does not forget.

Your position will be recorded, just as it recorded the positions of those who denied the genocide before their truths were revealed.

There is no justification for remaining silent in the face of a tragedy of this magnitude. And there is no forgiveness for those who participate in obscuring the truth. You have no sliver of decency and Gaza will not forget or forgive you and history will remember you as the one who justified and defended the worst crime history ever know. 

It is mind-boggling that after two Israeli rights groups (B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights)

confirmed that their country is committing genocide in Gaza, you have the audacity to falsely claim that Israel was not committing a genocide. How could you say this with a clear conscience and then go to sleep at night? This is beyond belief. 

 "Thou shalt not bear false witness"

The Bible said, "Thou shalt not bear false witness." This commandment emphasizes the importance of truthfulness and integrity in all interactions. False testimony is harmful and leads to unjust outcomes and undermining justice. Basically, you are encouraging the Israeli Defense Forces to commit more atrocities than stopping the bloodshed, under the pretext of freeing a few dozen POW. Yet, you and President Trump did not utter one single word about the 12,000 hostages Israel is holding without trials or charges for many years. Both of your naked hypocrisy threatens the credibility of the U.S. government. 

You need to be reminded over and over again without your government's help and active participation; Israel would not have been able to do the mass murder in Gaza for the last 22 months. According to Gaza Health Ministery (GHM), the total number of people martyred in Gaza has as a result of the nonstop Israeli aggression has superseded since October 7, 2023, has superseded 60,342 martyrs. As of July 29, 2025, GHM put the number of those killed in Gaza during the war at ranging from a newborn baby to a 110-year-old. Of those, 18,592 or 30.8% were under 18.

Among them:

* 18,592 children (30.8%)

* 9,782 women (16.3)

* Elderly (7.3%)

* Additionally, there are about 200,000 people who are buried under the rubbles. 

These data reflect 55% of the total number of people martyred targeted intentionally and unjustifiably against civilians by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF).

Therefore, the GHM renews its appeal to the international community, humanitarian organizations, and medical organizations to stop the aggression immediately, protecting the civilian population and to ensure the flow of humanitarian and medical aid to Gaza Strip. Failure to do so, it will stay as a stain of shame on the foreheads of America and the rest of so-called Western civilized nations.
