He mau lā ma hope o kahi mokulele kaua US pāpāʻia ʻO kahi haukapila Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) ma Kunduz, Afghanistan, pepehi i nā kānaka he kanahākūmālua, iwakāluakūmāhā o lākou nā maʻi, ka pelekikena honua o MSF, ʻo Kauka Joanne Liu i hele i loko o ka ʻōpala a mākaukau e hāʻawi i nā hōʻoluʻolu i ʻohana o ka poʻe i pepehi ʻia. He wikiō pōkole, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ʻOkakopa, 2015, hopu ʻO kona kaumaha ʻaneʻane hiki ʻole ke haʻi ʻia ʻoiai ʻo ia e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kahi ʻohana, i ka lā ma mua o ka pana ʻana, ua mākaukau e hoʻihoʻi i kā lāua kaikamahine i ka home. Ua kōkua nā kauka i ke kaikamahine ʻōpio i ke ola ʻana, akā no ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma waho o ka haukapila, ua ʻōlelo nā luna hoʻomalu e hele mai ka ʻohana i ka lā aʻe. "Ua palekana ʻo ia ma ʻaneʻi," wahi a lākou.
ʻO ke keiki kekahi o ka poʻe i pepehi ʻia e nā hoʻouka kaua US, i hoʻihoʻi hou ʻia i nā manawa he ʻumikumamālima mau minuke, no hoʻokahi hola a me ka hapa, ʻoiai ua hoʻopuka mua ʻo MSF i nā ʻōlelo noiʻi e noi ana i nā pūʻali koa ʻAmelika a me NATO e hoʻōki i ka pana ʻana i ka haukapila.
Me he mea la e kani ana na manao kaumaha a Kauka Liu i ka olelo a Pope Francis kanikau i na pilikia o ke kaua. "Ke ola nei mākou me kēia ʻano diabolic o ka pepehi ʻana i kekahi i kekahi no ka makemake o ka mana, ka makemake no ka palekana, ka makemake i nā mea he nui. Akā ke manaʻo nei au i nā kaua huna, nā mea ʻike ʻole ʻia, kahi mamao loa mai iā mākou, "wahi āna. "'Ōlelo nā kānaka e pili ana i ka maluhia. Ua hana ka United Nations i nā mea āpau, akā ʻaʻole lākou i kūleʻa. ʻO nā paio luhi ʻole o nā alakaʻi honua he nui, e like me Pope Francis a me Kauka Joanne Liu, e hoʻōki i nā ʻano o ke kaua, ua apo ikaika ʻia e Phil Berrigan, kahi kāula o ko mākou manawa.
"E hui me aʻu ma ka Pentagon!" Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Phil Berrigan e like me ia makemakeʻia kona mau hoa e kūʻē i ka hoʻolilo ʻana o Pentagon i nā mea kaua a me nā kaua. "E kū'ē i nā kaua a pau," i koi aku ai ʻo Phil. "ʻAʻohe kaua kūpono."
“Mai luhi!” Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, a laila ʻōlelo i kahi ʻōlelo ʻōlelo Buddhist, "ʻAʻole au e pepehi, akā e pale aku au i ka pepehi kanaka."
Ma kahi ʻokoʻa loa i ka manaʻo paʻa o Berrigan e pale aku i ka pepehi kanaka, ua hoʻoholo ka ʻAhaʻōlelo ʻo ʻAmelika i kahi bila e hāʻawi ana i ka hapa o ka waihona kālā o ʻAmelika i nā lilo koa. E like me ka ʻōlelo a Norman Stockwell, "ʻO ka bila aia i loko kokoke i $ 1.7 trillion o ke kālā no FY2023, akā no kēlā kālā, $ 858 biliona i koho ʻia no ka pūʻali koa ("palekana pale") a me kahi $ 45 biliona hou i "kōkua pilikia i Ukraine a me kā mākou mau hoa NATO." ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapalua ($ 900 biliona mai ka $ 1.7 trillion) ʻaʻole i hoʻohana ʻia no "nā papahana discretionary non-defense" - a ʻo kēlā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi he $ 118.7 biliona no ke kālā ʻana o ka Veterans Administration, kekahi kālā pili i ka pūʻali koa.
Ma ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā kālā i makemake nui ʻia e hoʻokō i nā pono kanaka, ʻaʻole pale ka waihona kālā "pale" US i ka poʻe mai nā maʻi maʻi maʻi, ka hāʻule ʻana o ke kaiaola, a me ka pohō ʻana o nā ʻoihana. Ke hoʻomau nei ia i kahi hoʻopukapuka deranged i ka militarism. ʻO ka wānana wānana a Phil Berrigan, ke kūʻē ʻana i nā kaua āpau a me ka hana ʻana i nā mea kaua, pono i kēia manawa ma mua o ka wā.
Ke kiʻi nei i ka kūpaʻa o Phil Berrigan, ʻo nā mea hoʻoikaika honua nā hoʻolālā ka 'Aha Kūkākūkā o ka Make War Crimes Tribunal. ʻO ka Tribunal, e mālama ʻia i Nowemapa 10 - 13, 2023, manaʻo e hōʻike i nā hōʻike e pili ana i nā hewa i ke kanaka i hana ʻia e ka poʻe e hoʻomohala, mālama, kūʻai aku a hoʻohana i nā mea kaua i hoʻohana ʻia e hōʻeha i nā poʻe i paʻa i nā wahi kaua. Ke ʻimi ʻia nei ka hōʻike mai ka poʻe i pakele i ke kaua ma Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, a me Somalia, e inoa wale i kekahi o nā wahi i hoʻoweliweli ʻia e nā mea kaua US i ka poʻe i manaʻo ʻole iā mākou i ka pōʻino.
Ma Nowemapa 10, 2022, ua lawelawe nā mea hoʻonohonoho o ka Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal a me kā lākou poʻe kākoʻo i kahi "Subpoena" i nā keʻena hui a me nā luna hui o nā mea hana mea kaua Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, a me General Atomics. ʻO ka subpoena, e pau ana i ka lā 10 o Pepeluali, 2023, koi ʻia lākou e hāʻawi i ka Tribunal i nā palapala āpau e hōʻike ana i ko lākou hoʻopili ʻana i ke kōkua ʻana a me ka ʻae ʻana i ke aupuni o ʻAmelika e hana i nā War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, Bribery, and Theft.
E hoʻomau ka poʻe hoʻonohonoho o ka hoʻolaha i nā hana ma mua o ka Tribunal e hōʻike ana i nā hewa kaua i hana ʻia e nā mea hana mea kaua. Alakaʻi ʻia ka poʻe hoʻolaha e ke kani ʻana o ka hōʻike a Kauka Cornel West:. "Ke hāʻawi aku nei mākou iā ʻoe, ʻo nā hui i hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻia me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa kaua, ke kuleana," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, "pono!"
I kona wā e ola ana, ua ulu ʻo Phil Berrigan mai ke koa a i ka haumāna i ka wānana anti-nuclear activist. Ua pili pono ʻo ia i ka hoʻokaumaha lāhui i ka ʻeha i hana ʻia e ka militarism. Ke hoʻohālikelike nei i ka pono ʻole o ka lāhui i kahi hydra weliweli e hana ana i kahi maka hou no kēlā me kēia wahi o ka honua, ua kākau ʻo Phil ʻo ka hoʻoholo ʻole ʻana o ka poʻe ʻAmelika e hana i ka hoʻokae lāhui i "ʻaʻole maʻalahi akā kūpono ke hoʻonui i kā mākou hoʻokaumaha ma ke ʻano o ka nuklea honua. hooweliweli.” (ʻAʻohe malihini, 1965)
ʻO ka poʻe i hoʻoweliweli ʻia e nā helehelena hou o ke kaua o ka hydra ʻaʻohe wahi e holo ai, ʻaʻohe wahi e peʻe ai. He mau tausani ma luna o nā tausani o ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia he mau keiki.
E noʻonoʻo i nā keiki i hōʻeha ʻia, ʻeha, hoʻoneʻe ʻia, makua ʻole a pepehi ʻia e nā kaua e hakakā nei i ko mākou ola ʻana, pono mākou e hoʻopaʻa pono iā mākou iho. Pono e lilo ka luʻi a Phil Berrigan iā mākou: "E hui me aʻu ma ka Pentagon!" A i ʻole kāna mau ʻoihana ʻoihana.
ʻAʻole hiki i ke kanaka ke ola i ka hui pū ʻana me nā hiʻohiʻona e alakaʻi ai i ka hoʻomake ʻana i nā haukapila a me ka luku ʻana i nā keiki.
