Hoy quiero hablarles de algo que me ha estado quitando el sueño. Mientras el mundo celebraba la liberación de 20 rehenes israelíes después de más de dos años, miles de familias palestinas esperaban en silencio el regreso de los suyos, detenidos sin juicio, sin fecha, sin voz.
En esta columna les cuento sobre la Global Sumud Flotilla, esa flota de esperanza que intentó romper el bloqueo a Gaza en octubre de 2025. Entre sus tripulantes iban seis mexicanos que pusieron el cuerpo donde muchos solo ponen palabras. Fueron interceptados, detenidos, repatriados. Pero su acto nos recordó algo esencial: que la humanidad todavía puede elegir mirar el dolor de frente.
Esta no es una guerra de religiones. Es una crisis de humanidad. Y la humanidad no tiene banderas.
La flotilla no llegó a Gaza, pero llegó a donde tenía que llegar: a nuestra conciencia. Hoy les invito a ir más allá de los titulares, a escuchar más allá de las narrativas políticas, y a preguntarnos qué tipo de mundo queremos construir.
¿De qué sirve tener razón cuando hay niños muriendo de hambre?
Les comparto esta reflexión con la esperanza de que, esta vez, la humanidad no llegue tarde.

Today I want to talk to you about something that's been keeping me up at night. While the world was celebrating the release of 20 Israeli hostages after more than two years, thousands of Palestinian families were quietly waiting for their loved ones to come home—people held without trial, without a date, without a voice.
In this piece, I'm telling you about the Global Sumud Flotilla, this fleet of hope that tried to break through the blockade to Gaza in October 2025. Among the crew were six Mexicans who put their bodies on the line where most people just put words. They were intercepted, detained, sent back home. But what they did reminded us of something crucial: that humanity can still choose to look pain in the face.
This isn't a war of religions. It's a crisis of humanity. And humanity doesn't have flags.
The flotilla didn't make it to Gaza, but it reached where it needed to: our conscience. Today I'm inviting you to look beyond the headlines, to listen past the political narratives, and to ask ourselves what kind of world we want to build.
What's the point of being right when children are starving to death?
I'm sharing this reflection with the hope that this time, humanity won't be too late.
