Is there any hope for Gaza? An Indian judge’s reality check on Israel, justice, and us

It’s been over 1,000 days, and by now, you’ve probably scrolled past the headlines more than once. 20,179 children dead. 44,143 injured. 58,000 orphaned. The highest concentration of child amputees anywhere on Earth. These were just some of the findings from a report recently published by a UN Independent Commission of Inquiry, headed by former Orissa High Court Chief Justice S Muralidhar. Now hear the details the headlines left out. A doctor amputating a baby’s limbs with no anesthesia – because there wasn’t any left – while the parents pin down their own screaming child. A baby’s skull, opened, with brain matter visible, carried into an ICU. A breastfeeding infant shot through the head with surgical precision while the mother, inches away, is left completely untouched. The inquiry panel sat across doctors who broke down mid-testimony, recounting things they treated two years ago and still can’t unsee. And it’s not just Palestinian doctors talking. Israeli soldiers filmed themselves – posing with children’s toys as war trophies, joking about girls’ clothes taken from homes they raided. A sitting Deputy Speaker of Israel’s Parliament publicly declared that every child born in Gaza is “already a terrorist” before it’s even born. This is happening while India’s government just deepened ties with Israel, and sections of India’s mainstream media continue echoing Israeli talking points, largely ignoring findings like these. Watch the conversation to hear directly from the man who led the inquiry. All its testimonies, the evidence, and why he believes the world is choosing silence over accountability. Is there any chance of justice? If you think you already know this story, watch the full interview soon. Trigger warning: This conversation contains graphic descriptions of violence against children. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to The News Minute, your go-to source for impactful stories from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.
