ʻO Kōlea ia, ʻaʻole ʻo Afghanistan, i hoʻopiʻi i ka inoa forlorn: "Ke kaua lōʻihi loa a ʻAmelika." ʻO kēia no ka pau ʻole o ka hakakā Korea. Akā, ua kāpae ʻia ma hope o kahi stalemate pūʻali koa, me nā ʻaoʻao āpau e ʻaelike ana e kau inoa i kahi ʻAelike Amnesty i kāhea ʻia no ka pau ʻana o ke kaua e waiho wale ai ka hakakā.

The 70^th ka lā hoʻomanaʻo o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke Kaua Kōlea ma Iune 25. ʻOiai ke kaua ʻana o Wakinekona ma Afghanistan no 18 mau makahiki, ua ʻoi aku ka ʻā o ke Kaua Korea i hoʻopau ʻole ʻia ma mua o ʻehā mau manawa ka lōʻihi. ʻOiai ʻo ko Wakinekona hōʻino ʻana ma Afghanistan ua uku ʻia ka waihona kālā ʻAmelika ma mua o $ 2 trillion, ʻo nā kumukūʻai e hoʻomau nei i ka "hoʻopaʻa" ʻana i ka Peninsula Korea - ma ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i ka ʻāina a me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā helu o nā kahua pūʻali koa US ma Kōlea Hema - ua ʻoi aku ka nui.

Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻokipa ʻana i nā vigil a me nā hoʻomanaʻo e hōʻailona ai i ka lā, e kāhea ana nā lālā o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e kau inoa iā Rep. Ro Khanna's (D-CA) Olelo hooholo 152, ke noi ana i kahi hopena i pau ai ka Kaua Korea.

Iʻelua pule i hala aku nei, ʻo wau kekahi o nā mea 200 o nā mea hana i komo i Korea Week Advocacy Week (KPAW), he hana ʻōlima i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e Korea Peace Network, Korea Peace Now! ʻO ka Pūnaewele Grassroots, Peace Peacey Now, and Women Cross DMZ.

Hoʻokomo ʻia kaʻu hui ʻeono ʻāina wahine wahine Korea-ʻAmelika, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo ka mea hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a me ke ʻano ʻo Deann Borshay Liem, ka luna hoʻomalu o ka palapala. Ka poʻe wahine Cross DMZ.

Ua holo maikaʻi ko mākou 30-minuke, noho me Zoomchat me Barbara Lee's (D-CA) ma Wakinekona. ʻO nā hālāwai alo a he alo i hāʻawi aku i kahi hoʻomaha maikaʻi mai ka hana maʻamau o "laptop-activism" -e hoʻopiha nei i kahi loli o nā noi pūnaewele. I koʻu hāʻawi ʻana, ua kaʻana like wau i kekahi o nā moʻolelo i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i ka wā e hoʻomākaukau ana i kahi Sheet North Korea World BEYOND War. ^ E Ha yM. Ua kākau ʻia ma ka ʻāpana:

• No ka 1200 mau makahiki, ua noho ʻo Korea ma ke aupuni hui ʻia. Hoʻopau ia i ka makahiki 1910 i ka hoʻohui ʻana o Iapana i ke kūkaʻi. Akā ʻo US ka mea i hana iā North Korea.

• Ma ka lā 14 o ʻAukake, 1945, ma hope o ka pau o WWII, i ka manawa a kahakahu ʻelua mau pūʻali koa ʻAmelika i kahiki i kahi laina ma ka palapala ʻāina e hoʻokaʻawale i nā Peninsula ʻAmelika.

• I ka wā o ka "hana mākaʻi" a ka UN i nā makahiki 1950, ua kuʻi nā pōkā o ka US i ka ʻĀkau me nā 635,000 tona o nā pōkā a me nā 32,000 tone o napalm. Ua luku ʻia nā pōkā ma 78 mau kūlanakauhale ma Kōlea Kōlea, nā kula he 5,000, nā haukapila 1,000, a ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapalua miliona mau hale. Ua luku ʻia he 600,000 mau kānaka kīwila Kōlea.

No laila he mea kupanaha ka makaʻu o Kōlea ʻĀkau i ka US.

• I kēia lā, ʻike ka ʻĀina ʻĀpika a puni ʻo ia i nā kumu ʻĀmelika — ʻoi aku ma mua o 50 ma Korea Hema a ma mua o 100 ma Iapana - me nā pōkā B-52 paʻa i kūleʻa ʻia i Guam, ma kahi mamao o Pyongyang

• I ka makahiki 1958 - i ke ku e ʻole i ka ʻikepili Armistice - ua hoʻomaka ka US e hoʻouna i nā mea kaua atomika i ka Hema. I kekahi manawa, kokoke 950 ʻAmelika hae kaua i waiho ʻia ma Korea ʻĀina. 

Ua nānā nui ka US i nā noi a ka ʻĀkau e kau inoa i kahi kuʻikahi non-aggression. Manaʻo ka hapa nui o ka ʻĀkau ko kā lākou papahana nukelea ka mea wale nō e pale ana i ka ʻāina mai ka huhū a US. 

• Ua ʻike mākou ua hana ka diploma. 

I ka makahiki 1994, ua kau inoa ke keʻena ʻo Clinton i kahi “Agreed Framework” i hoʻopau i kā Pyongyang hana plutonium i pānaʻi no ke kōkua waiwai.

• I ka makahiki 2001, ua hōʻole ʻo George Bush i ka ʻae a ua kau hou i nā hoʻopaʻi. Ua pane ka ʻĀkaukau ma o ka hoʻopōkō ʻana i kāna papahana kaua nīkini.

• Hāʻawi pinepine ka ʻūkaukau i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hoʻokele missile e hoʻohuli ai no ke kāpae ʻana i nā hana koa US-South Korea e kuhikuhi ana i ka ʻĀkau. 

• I ka Malaki Malaki, ua ʻae ʻo US e kāpae i kahi papa hana i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka pūnāwai. Ma ka pane, ua hōʻike aku ʻo Kim Jong-un halile hoʻokipa a hui pū me Donald Trump ma DMZ. Ma Iulai, akā, ua hoʻomau ʻo US i nā hana hana a me ka pane ʻana o ka ʻĀkau ma ka hoʻohou hou ʻana i nā hoʻokūkū hoʻokolohua.

• ʻO kēia ka manawa no ka US e ukali i ke alakaʻi a Kina a kau inoa i kahi kuikahi kuikahi e hoʻopau kūhelu ana i ke Kaua Kōlea. 

I ka hopena o ke pule, ua loaʻa iā mākou ka ʻōlelo a ua mahalo ʻo Rep. Lee i kā mākou noi a ua ʻae ʻo ia e kākoʻo i ka HR 6639, e kāhea ana no kahi hopena o ke Kaua Korea.

Eia kahi ʻope o nā hanana o ka pule mai kahi lālā o ka hui hoʻolālā aupuni o KPAW.

Ma ka 2019, ua loaʻa iā mākou ma kahi o 75 poʻe i kēlā me kēia lā ʻo Korea's Advocacy Day.

No Iune 2020, ua loaʻa iā mākou ma mua o 200 mau mea komo a ʻoi aku paha ma mua o 50% he poʻe ʻAmelika-ʻAmelika. ʻO nā mea kōkua mai 26 mau mokuʻāina — mai Kaleponi a hiki i ka mokupuni ʻo New York — ua hui me nā keʻena 84 DC!

A iā mākou kekahi mau lanakila lanakila e hōʻike i:

• Ua lilo ʻo Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY) lāua ʻo Rep Barbara Lee (CA) i mea i hoʻokumu mua ʻia ma H.R. 6639
• ʻO Sen. Ed Markey (MA) a me Sen. Ben Cardin (MD) i ʻae aku i ka cosponsor S.3395 i loko o ka Senate.
• Ua hoʻopuka mua ʻia ka Enhancing North Korea Humanitarian Assistance Act (S.3908) a loaʻa koke ke kiʻi. maanei:

Ua piha ka pule hoʻopiʻi me ka optimism a me nā moʻolelo pilikino puʻuwai. Ua hoʻomanaʻo kahi mea koho i kona neʻe ʻana i ka US, me ka waiho ʻana i nā mea aloha ma hope o Kōlea - e noho ana kekahi ma ka Hema a ʻo kekahi ma ka ʻĀkau: "He ʻohana mahele wau, akā ua hala ka hapa nui o lākou."

I kekahi hālāwai hou aʻe, i ka wā a mākou i haʻi aku ai i kahi limahana o ka ʻahaʻōlelo, "Ke hana nei mākou i kēia no ka mea ʻo kēia ka 70th o ke kaua Kōlea," ua loaʻa iā mākou ka pane hōʻeuʻeu aʻe: "ʻAʻole i pau ke kaua Korea?"

E like me ka 70^th Ke hoʻokokoke nei ke Kaua Kaua Korea, ka pūʻulu hoʻolālā aupuni o ka KPAW a me nā hui kākoʻo (Kōleka Kōlea Kōlea, Kōlea Kōlea Kōlea i kēia manawa! ʻO Grassroots Network, Peace Treaty Now, Women Cross DMZ) ke koi aku nei i nā poʻe āpau e komo pū me kā lākou mau ʻelele politika a paipai iā lākou e hoʻopuka kahea a ka lehulehu e hoʻopau i ke kaua Kōlea - ke ʻano kūpono, "ma waena o Iune 25 (ka lā a ka US i ʻae ai i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kaua Kōlea) a me Iulai 27 (ka lā i pūlima ʻia ai ka Armistice)."

Ma lalo iho nei kekahi mau "wahi kamaʻilio" mai ka ʻO Korea ʻoi:

• 2020 hōʻailona ʻo ia i ka makahiki 70 o ke Kaua Korona, ʻaʻole i pau ma ke kū. ʻO ke kūlana hoʻomau o ke kaua ke kumu o ka militarism a me nā ʻāʻī ma ka Peninsula Korea. E hele i ka maluhia a me ka denuclearization, pau mākou i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke Kaua Korea.

• Ke komo nei ka US i ka makahiki 70th o ka laka ʻia i kahi moku kaua me North Korea. ʻO ka manawa kēia e hoʻopau ai i nā haunaele a me nā hakakā a hoʻonā i kēia hakakā.

• ʻO ke kūlana kīnā ʻole o ka hakakā ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻohana he mau tausani mai kahi ʻē aʻe. Pono mākou e hoʻopau i ke kaua, e kōkua i ka hui pū ʻana i nā ʻohana, a hoʻomaka i ka hōʻola i nā mahele hōʻeha o kēia hakakā me 70.
