The violence in Gaza is part of a long history of resistance and occupation dating back to the 1948 Nakba. Similar patterns of state and non-state violence have been observed in other decolonization struggles, such as in Algeria and Vietnam, where external powers and internal divisions exacerbated conflict.
The violence in Gaza is not an isolated incident but a symptom of deeper systemic issues rooted in occupation, resistance, and internal governance.
Indigenous and decolonial perspectives highlight the importance of land and sovereignty, while cross-cultural analysis reveals the need for inclusive, non-binary frameworks. Scientific and artistic methods offer tools for documenting and expressing the human impact of conflict, while future modeling and marginalised voices provide pathways for sustainable peace. To move forward, international accountability, humanitarian reform, and grassroots diplomacy must be prioritized to address the structural causes of violence and support long-term stability.
