Hōʻike pinepine ka pāpāho ʻoihana US i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o ka pūʻali koa ʻIseraʻela i Palesetina me he mea lā ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa kahi ʻaoʻao kūpaʻa hala ʻole i ka hakakā. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua haʻi aku nā mea nui o ʻAmelika i nā pollsters i mau makahiki he makemake lākou i ka United States noho kaulike ʻole i ka hakakā ʻIseraʻela-Palestinian. 

Akā ʻo ka pāpāho a me nā mea kālaiʻāina o US i kumakaia i ko lākou nele i ka neutrality ma o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ko Palestinian no kahi kokoke i ka hana ʻino a me ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana i ka hae, a no laila ʻaʻole kūlike ʻole nā ​​hoʻouka kaua ʻIseraʻela ma ke ʻano he pane kūpono i nā hana Palestinian. ʻO ka formulate kūmole mai Nā luna US aʻo nā mea haʻi'ōlelo he "kuleana ko ʻIseraʻela e pale aku iā ia iho," ʻaʻole loa "he kuleana ko Palestinian e pale aku iā lākou iho," ʻoiai e luku ana ka ʻIseraʻela i nā haneli o ko Palestinian civili, luku i nā tausani home Palestinian a hopu i ka ʻāina Palestinian hou aku.

ʻO ka like ʻole o nā mea i hōʻeha ʻia i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻIseraʻela ma luna o Gaza e ʻōlelo nei nona iho. 

• I ka manawa e kākau ai, ua luku ʻia ka hoʻouka kaua ʻIseraʻela i kēia manawa ma luna o Gaza ma kahi o 200 mau kānaka, e like me nā keiki he 59 a me nā wahine he 35, ʻoiai nā pōkā i kī ʻia mai Gaza mai i luku ʻia he 10 mau kānaka i loko o ka ʻIseraʻela, me 2 mau keiki. 
• I ka Hoʻouka kaua 2008-9 ma Gaza, ua luku ʻia ka ʻIseraʻela Palepalai 1,417, ʻoiai kā lākou hana iki e pale ai iā lākou iho i luku ai i ka 9 ʻIseraʻela. 
• I 2014, Palepalai 2,251 a ua luku ʻia he 72 o ka ʻIseraʻela (ʻo ka hapa nui o nā koa e hoʻouka kaua ana iā Gaza), no ka mea, hāʻule liʻiliʻi nā F-16 i kūkulu ʻia e US 5,000 pā a ua kī ʻia nā missile ma Kaha a me nā pahu kaua o ʻIseraʻela a me nā mea kaua 49,500 pūpū, ka hapa nui o nā pūpū 6-ʻīniha mai US-kūkulu M-109 howitzers.
• I ka pane ʻana i ka maluhia nui “Malaki o ka Hoʻihoʻi ʻana"Nā kūʻē ma ka palena ʻo Israel-Gaza ma ka makahiki 2018, ua luku ʻia nā sniper o Israel i 183 Palestinian a hōʻeha ʻia ma luna o 6,100, me 122 i koi ʻia e ʻokiʻoki, 21 i hōʻino ʻia e nā ʻeha o ke kuamoʻo a me 9 makapō mau.

E like me ke kaua i alakaʻi ʻia e Saudi ma Yemen a me nā pilikia koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe o nā kulekele ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka lono a me ka hoʻopunipuni ʻana o ka nūhou e ka poʻe media ʻo US i haʻalele i ka hapa nui o nā poʻe ʻAmelika e ʻike ʻole i ka manaʻo Hāʻawi wale ka hapa nui i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻokaʻawale i nā pono a me nā hewa o nā mea e hana nei a hōʻahewa i nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua, a laila e kau pono i kā lākou nānā kokoke i ka home, kahi e pili pono ai nā pilikia o ke kaiāulu iā lākou a maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo a hana i kekahi mea.

No laila pehea e pane ai ka poʻe ʻAmelika i nā kiʻi weliweli o ke kahe ʻana o ke koko, nā keiki e make ana a me nā home i hoʻoliʻiliʻi ʻia i nā ʻōpala i Gaza? ʻO ka pili kūpilikiʻi o kēia pilikia no ʻAmelika, ʻo ia, ma hope o ka noe o ke kaua, hoʻolaha a hoʻolaha ʻia, hoʻolaha hoʻolaha ʻia nā bias, ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa kahi kuleana nui no ka luku ʻana i Palesetina.

Ua hoʻomau ka kulekele o US i ka pilikia a me nā hana hoʻomāinoino o ka noho ʻana o ka ʻIseraʻela ma o ke kākoʻo ʻole ʻana iā ʻIseraʻela ma nā ʻano ʻekolu: ka pūʻali koa, ka diplomatally a me ka politika. 

Ma ke alo o ka pūʻali koa, mai ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka mokuʻāina ʻIseraʻela, ua hāʻawi ʻo United States $ 146 ieeeea? i nā kōkua haole, kokoke i nā pūʻali koa āpau. Hāʻawi ia i kēia manawa $ 3.8 ieeeea? i kēlā me kēia makahiki i ke kōkua koa i ka ʻIseraʻela. 

Eia hou, ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ka mea kūʻai aku nui loa i nā mea kaua iā ʻIseraʻela, nona ka pūʻali koa koa i kēia manawa me 362 US-kūkulu Nā mokulele kaua F-16 a me 100 mau mokulele pūʻali koa US, e like me ka ulu nui o nā F-35 hou; ma ka liʻiliʻi he 45 Apache hoʻouka nā helicopter; 600 M-109 howitzers a me 64 M270 pōkā pahū. I kēia manawa, ke hoʻohana nei ʻo ʻIseraʻela i ka hapa nui o kēia mau mea kaua i hoʻolako ʻia e ka US i loko o kāna pōpilikia weliweli o Gaza.

ʻO ka hui pūʻali koa US me ʻIseraʻela e pili pū ana i nā pūʻali koa hui a me ka hana like ʻana o nā missiles Arrow a me nā ʻōnaehana mea kaua. ʻO ka US a me nā pūʻali koa ʻIseraʻela hui pū ma nā ʻenehana drone i hoʻāʻo ʻia e ka ʻIseraʻela ma Gaza. I ka makahiki 2004, ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa kāheaʻia ʻO nā pūʻali koa ʻIseraʻela me ka ʻike ma nā Panalāʻau Kupa e hāʻawi i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa tactical i ka US Special Operations Forces i ko lākou kūʻē ʻana i ke kūʻē kūʻē ʻana i ka pūʻali koa kūʻē kaua o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. 

Mālama pū ka pūʻali koa US i kahi waihona $ 1.8 biliona o nā mea kaua ma nā wahi ʻeono i Israel, i hoʻonohonoho mua ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kaua US ma ka Hikina Waena. I ka wā o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻIseraʻela ma luna o Gaza ma 2014, ʻoiai ua kāpae ka US Congress i kekahi mau mea kaua i lawe ʻia i ka ʻIseraʻela, ua ʻae ʻia lima lima nā waihona o nā pūmole mortar 120mm a me nā lako kaua launcher 40mm grenade mai ka waihona US no Israel e hoʻohana kūʻē iā Palestinian ma Gaza.

Diplomatally, ua hoʻohana ʻo United States i kāna veto i ka UN Security Council 82 manawa, a me 44 o ia mau mea veto i pale aku i ka ʻIseraʻela mai ke kuleana no nā hewa kaua a i ʻole nā ​​hana hewa kanaka. I kēlā me kēia hihia, ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ke koho balota kūʻē ʻana i ka ʻōlelo hoʻoholo, ʻoiai kekahi mau ʻāina ʻē aʻe i hōʻole ʻole i kekahi manawa. 

ʻO ia wale nō ke kūlana pōmaikaʻi o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma ke ʻano he lālā paʻa mau o ka ʻaha kūkā palekana, a me kona makemake e hōʻino i kēlā kuleana e pale aku i kona ʻaoʻao Israeli, nāna e hāʻawi iā ia i kēia mana kūʻokoʻa e hoʻokūkū i nā hana kūwaho e hoʻopaʻa i ke aupuni ʻIseraʻela. no kāna hana ma lalo o ke kānāwai kūwaho. 

ʻO ka hopena o kēia pale pale diplomas US unconditional o ka ʻIseraʻela i mea e paipai i ka hoʻomāhuahua nui ʻana o ka mālama ʻana o ka ʻIseraʻela iā Palestinian. Me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e kāpae ana i nā kuleana o ka Security Council, ua hopu ʻo Israel i ka ʻāina Palestinian hou ma West Bank a me East East, ua huki hou aku i nā Palestinian mai ko lākou mau home a pane i ke kūʻē ʻana o ka poʻe nui ʻole o ka pūʻali koa me ka hana hoʻomāhuahua mau ʻana. nā hoʻopaʻa a me nā mea i kapu ʻia i ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā. 

ʻO ke kolu, ma ke alo politika, ʻoiai ka hapa nui o ʻAmelika kākoʻo neutrality i ka hakakā, AIPAC a ua hoʻohana kekahi mau lālā lobbying pro-Israel i kahi kuleana koʻikoʻi i ka uku ʻana a me ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana i ka poʻe kālaiʻāina US e hāʻawi i ke kākoʻo palena ʻole no ka ʻIseraʻela. 

ʻO nā kuleana o nā mea kōkua a me nā lobbyist i ka ʻōnaehana politika US hewa ʻole e hoʻolilo i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kēia ʻano ʻano o ka hoʻopulapula ʻana a me ka hoʻoweliweli, inā na nā hui monopolistic a me nā hui ʻoihana e like me ka Military-Industrial Complex a me Big Pharma, a i ʻole nā pūʻulu hoihoi e like me ka NRA, AIPAC a, i nā makahiki i hala iho nei. lobbyists no Saudi Arabia a me nā United Arab Emirates.

Ma ʻApelila 22, he mau pule wale nō ma mua o kēia hoʻouka kaua hou loa ma Gaza, ka hapa nui o ka ʻaha kūkā, 330 mai ka 435, ua kākau i kahi leka i ka noho a me ka lālā kiʻekiʻe o ke Kōmike Haʻawina Hale e kūʻē ana i ka hōʻemi a hoʻonohonoho ʻana paha o nā kālā US iā ʻIseraʻela. Ua hōʻike ʻia ka leka i kahi hōʻike o ka ikaika mai AIPAC a me ka hōʻole ʻana i nā kāhea mai kekahi mau holomua i ka Demokalaka ʻAoʻao i ke ʻano a i ʻole ka pāpā ʻana i ke kōkua iā ʻIseraʻela. 

ʻO Pelekikena Joe Biden, nona kahi ka wā lōʻihi o ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā hewa o ka ʻIseraʻela, pane i ka luku hou loa ma o ka koi ʻana i ka "kuleana e pale iā ia iho" a inanely me ka lana o ka manaʻo e "pani koke ʻia kēia ma mua o ka wā ma hope." Ua kāpae hilahila hoʻi kāna ʻelele UN ma ke kāhea ʻana i kahi pauahi ma ka UN Security Council.

ʻO ka hāmau a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi mai Pelekikena Biden a me ka hapa nui o ko mākou mau lunamakaʻāinana i ka ʻahaʻōlelo nui i ka luku nui ʻana o nā makaʻāinana a me ka luku nui ʻia o Gaza. ʻO nā leo kūʻokoʻa e ʻōlelo ikaika nei no nā Palestinian, me Senatoa Sanders a Nā Lunamaka'āinana ʻO Tlaib, Omar a me Ocasio-Cortez, e hōʻike mai iā mākou i ke ʻano o ke aupuni a ke aupuni a ka lehulehu, a me nā kūʻē nui i hoʻopiha i nā alanui o ʻAmelika a puni ka ʻāina.

Pono e hoʻohuli i ke kulekele US e hōʻike i ke kānāwai kūwaho a me ka ke hoʻololi nei i ka manaʻo o ka US i ka pono o nā kuleana Palestinian. Pono e hoʻokau ʻia kēlā me kēia lālā o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e kau inoa i ka bila hoʻolauna ʻia e Rep. Betty McCollum e koi ana ʻaʻole hoʻohana ʻia nā kālā US i Israel "e kākoʻo i ka hoʻopaʻa koa ʻana o nā keiki Palestinian, ka hopu hewa ʻia ʻana, ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, a me ka luku ʻia ʻana o ka waiwai Palesetina a me ka hoʻoili ikaika ʻana o nā makaʻāinana ma West Bank, a i ʻole hoʻohui hoʻohui hou ʻO ka ʻāina Palestinian i kū ʻole i ke kānāwai kūwaho. ”

Pono hoʻi e kaomi ʻia ka ʻahaʻōlelo e hoʻokō koke i ke kānāwai Arms Export Control Act a me nā Leahy Laws e hoʻōki i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā mea kaua hou o US iā ʻIseraʻela a kū ka hoʻohana ʻana iā lākou e hoʻouka a pepehi i nā makaʻāinana.

He mea nui a koʻikoʻi hoʻi ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i loko o nā pōpilikia he umi makahiki i hoʻopau ʻia i ka poʻe o Palestine. Pono nā alakaʻi a me nā luna politika o US e kūʻē i ko lākou ʻāina a, i nā manawa he nui, kā lākou pilikino pilikino i kēia pōpilikia, a hana wikiwiki a hoʻoholo hoʻi e hoʻohuli i ke kulekele US e kākoʻo i nā kuleana kanaka āpau no nā Palestinian āpau.

ʻO Medea Benjamin ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu ʻO CODEPINK no ka maluhia, a me nā mea kākau o kekahi mau puke, e komo pū ai I loko o Iran:ʻO ka moʻoleloʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka politika o ka moku'Alapila o Iran.

He kanaka hana kūlohelohe ʻo Nicolas JS Davies, he mea noiʻi me CODEPINK a ʻo ka mea nāna i kākau ʻO ke koko i ko mākou mau lima: kaʻAhaʻAmelika a me ka Hahaʻi o Iraq.
