This genocide is not in our name (video)

A call to action

My name is Juan Garay. I am a doctor with the Agaza Flotilla, and I return to you with pride, and with a plea. My companions and I have just endured capture, torture at the hands of Israel, while the world turns away. Over 400 people, who sought only to deliver humanitarian aid to a people enduring some of the gravest suffering on Earth, are now treated as criminals. They are tortured, degraded, humiliated before our very eyes.

The flotilla is but a single drop in the ocean of Gaza’s daily agony. For 1,000 days and 1,000 nights, Gaza has endured a genocide—brutal, relentless—while the world remains silent. And Gaza is but one reflection of the suffering that plagues our planet.

In the Sustainable Health Equity Movement, we confront the extreme inequalities that claim over 50,000 unjust lives every day—one life every moment you hear these words. This is a world of injustice, of nature’s destruction, of ecocide and genocide, of international complicity, of a Security Council held hostage by five nations that can veto the will of the rest. This world is ending.

We cannot be made complicit in this suffering. We cannot be manipulated by alienating consumption, by toxic competition, by the destruction of our planet, by borders and barbed wire that tear apart those who only wish to love.

We can rise. And in rising, we can shout, take to the streets, rethink our consumption, our humor, our savings—where our efforts go, ensuring they do not fuel the machines of war and destruction. We can unite. We can dream of a new humanity. One in harmony with nature, one that shares, one that dreams, a world without borders, without so much pain.

Act today. Write to your foreign ministry, to your embassy in Israel. Join the protests, the gatherings. Raise your voice with ours: a cry for freedom, for peace, for enough. This genocide is not in our name. We will not be silent.
