Post-ceasefire violence in Gaza highlights structural failures in conflict resolution and humanitarian access

The violence in Gaza echoes historical patterns of settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing, from the Armenian Genocide to the Trail of Tears. Understanding these parallels reveals how conflict is not accidental but a product of systemic dehumanization and resource control.
The violence in Gaza is not an isolated incident but a symptom of a deeper systemic failure in international conflict resolution.
Rooted in historical patterns of settler colonialism and reinforced by geopolitical interests, the conflict is sustained by the absence of accountability, the marginalization of Indigenous and local knowledge, and the normalization of violence against vulnerable populations. To move toward lasting peace, we must integrate cross-cultural wisdom, scientific understanding of trauma, and structural reforms in international law. Only through a holistic, inclusive approach that centers the voices of those most affected can we begin to dismantle the systems that perpetuate violence.
