Genocide in Gaza: How colonialism has alienated you from your own humanity

The discomfort you feel speaking up about genocide in Palestine: How colonialism has alienated us from humanity Why does speaking about Gaza feel so unsettling? There is an undeniable discomfort that arises when we speak of genocide in Gaza, a conflict rooted not only in geopolitics but also in a long history of colonialism. That discomfort?

And it is not just about money—it is about alienation, manipulation, and a lack of empathy. In this piece, we are going to explore this complex web through personal stories, facts, and figures, and perhaps, by the end, you will find yourself wondering too: are we fighting patriarchy or paying it off? How are divorce
