Na David Swanson, World BEYOND War,ʻApelila 13, 2021
I kekahi manawa paʻakikī wau e wehewehe i ke kumu e hiki ʻole ai i nā kaua pau ʻole ke hoʻopau ʻia. Loaʻa lākou i ka loaʻa kālā? Ke hoʻokō nei a me ka manaʻoʻiʻo iā ʻoe iho? ʻO ka inertia bureaucratic ka mea mana? ʻAʻohe o ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā kumu hoʻohālikelike semi-rational i lawa. Akā eia kahi mea kūpono e pili ana: aia nō kekahi poʻe e ola nei ma Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, a me Yemen.
ʻAʻohe memo huna i ka Pentagon e hōʻike ana i ka make ʻana o kēlā me kēia kanaka ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i nā pūʻali ke "haʻalele me ka hanohano." A inā ua pau lākou i ka make, ʻo ka mea hope loa a kekahi pūʻali e hana ai, ʻo ia ka haʻalele. Akā aia kekahi mau kuahiwi o nā memo, huna a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, e hoʻolaha nei he counterproductive i ka luku ʻana i nā hala ʻole a me ka ʻāpono i ka luku ʻia ʻana o ka poʻe hala ʻole. Aia ka huhū ma luna o nā kūʻē i hoʻohui ʻia e ka lapuwale, a ʻaʻole ʻano maʻamau kēia ʻano mea. No kekahi wahi ia.
I kekahi manawa ke kahaha nei au i ka pepehi kanaka mākaʻi kolohe ʻole i ka United States. ʻAʻole hiki i nā mākaʻi he nui ke kuhi hewa i kā lākou pū no kā lākou poʻe lawelawe a i ʻole kūkaʻi wale ʻia e hōʻeha i ka poʻe o ke ʻano like. He aha ka mea e hana nei?
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻoiaʻiʻo e luku ʻia kahi kaua nukelea a hoʻopau paha i ke ola o ke kanaka, akā hiki nō iaʻu ke nānā i ka hōʻike ma mua o ka US Congress e kūkākūkā ana pehea e "lawelawe" a "hana me" a "pane i" nā kaua nukelea. ʻO kahi mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka mea e ʻōlelo leo nui ʻia nei ke hana nei.
Kahi alakaʻi i kahi kumu kūpono o ka pupule hui hiki ke loaʻa i ke kiʻi ʻehā ma HBO i kāhea ʻia Hoʻopau i nā Brutes āpau. Kuhi ʻia ia ma nā puke na Sven Lindqvist, Michel-Rolph Trouillot, a me Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, he ʻelua o lākou aʻu i heluhelu ai a ʻo kekahi o lākou i nīnauele ʻia. No laila, ua nānā au i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me nā mea i manaʻo ʻia - a ua hui ʻia lākou me ka hoka a ʻoi aku hoʻi. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka hoka mai ke ʻano o ka medium. ʻOiai ʻo kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni he 4 mau hola he mau huaʻolelo loa kona i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me kahi puke, a ʻaʻohe ala e waiho ai i nā mea āpau i loko. Akā ʻo nā kiʻi wikiō ikaika a me nā kiʻi paʻi kiʻi a me nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a me nā hui pū ʻana o ia mea e hoʻonui i ka waiwai. A ʻo nā pilina i hana ʻia i kēia lā - inā ʻaʻole like me kēlā mau mea aʻu i hana ai ma luna - ua ʻoi aku i kaʻu mau mea i manaʻo ai. Pēlā nō nā papa hana hoʻokahuli a me ka hoʻopili ʻana o nā huapalapala i nā hiʻohiʻona i hoʻohālikelike ʻia mai nā manawa a me nā wahi like ʻole.
ʻO kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kahi mea hoʻoweliweli kūpilikiʻi i nā puke e kau ai, a he hoʻolauna iā lākou e pono e hoʻouluulu i kekahi o nā mea nānā e aʻo hou.
E aʻo ʻoe, pehea?
ʻĀ, e aʻo i nā kumumanaʻo i pakele pohihihi i nā loiloi aʻu i ʻike ai o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.
ʻO ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka hoʻokalakupua a me ka hoʻokalakupua ʻepekema a me nā eugenics i alakaʻi ai i ka hilinaʻi nui o ke Komohana i ka luku ʻia / makemake ʻole ʻia o ka "lāhui" keʻokeʻo. "
Ua piha ka kenekulia 19 i nā genocides (ma mua o ka noho ʻana o ka huaʻōlelo) i hana ʻia e nā poʻe ʻEulopa a puni ka honua, a ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
ʻO ka hiki ke hana i kēia mau mea weliweli i ka hilinaʻi i ka ʻoi loa o ka mea kaua a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
Ua hana kēia mea kaua i nā luku ʻaoʻao hoʻokahi, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia i nā kaua o kēia wā e nā ʻāina waiwai i loko a ma nā mea ʻilihune hoʻi.
ʻAʻole i komo maoli ʻo Kelemania i ka hana a hiki i ka makahiki 1904, akā ʻo ka makahiki 1940 he ʻāpana ia o kahi hana maʻamau, ʻano maʻamau ʻole no ka wahi o nā hewa.
ʻO ka manaʻo i kūʻē nui nā lāhui ʻē aʻe i ka genocide Nazi kahi wahaheʻe ahistorical i hoʻokumu ʻia ma hope o ka pau ʻana o WWII.
ʻO ka luku ʻana i nā Iudaio ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo hou ma mua o ka luku ʻana he hana hou. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka lawe pio ʻana i nā Iudaio (a laila ka poʻe Mahometa) mai Sepania i 1492 kahi kumu o ka hapa nui o ka lāhui i ukali ʻia.
(Akā aia kekahi mea ʻano ʻē i loko o kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, e like me nā wahi āpau a me nā mea ʻē aʻe āpau, e hōʻike ana i ka pepehi kanaka ʻana o ka Nazi no "6 miliona Iudaio" ma mua o "17 miliona kānaka," [ʻaʻohe waiwai iki o kēlā 11 miliona ʻē aʻe?] A i ʻole. o ka pepehi kanaka ʻana o ke Kaua Honua II i 80 miliona mau kānaka.)
ʻO ka hui US mua kahi mea kūʻai aku i nā mea kaua. ʻAʻole ʻo US i kaua. ʻAʻole kokoke nā kaua US lōʻihi loa ma Afghanistan. Ua kāhea ʻia ʻo Bin Laden iā Geronimo e ka pūʻali koa US no ke kumu like i kapa ʻia ai kāna mea kaua no nā lāhui ʻōiwi ʻAmelika a ʻo ka ʻāina ʻenemi ʻo "ʻĀina ʻInikia." ʻO nā kaua US kahi hoʻomau o kahi genocide kahi i make ai ka maʻi a me ka wī a me ka ʻeha no ka mea ua luku ikaika ʻia nā kaiāulu.
"Pepehi i kekahi mea e neʻe" ʻaʻole wale he kauoha i hoʻohana ʻia i nā kaua o kēia manawa, akā he hana maʻamau i nā kaua o ka wā i hala.
ʻO ko Hitler hoʻouluulu koʻikoʻi no kāna lanakila pepehi kanaka ʻana i ka Hikina Hihiu ʻo ia ka genocidal US e lanakila ana i ka West wild wild.
ʻO nā kala a me nā hōʻoia no ka nuking o Hiroshima a me Nagasaki (a ʻo Hiroshima wale nō paha, ʻaʻole i kū ʻo Nagasaki) (me ka manaʻo wahaheʻe o kēia kiʻi e pono ai kēia mau huhū e koi i ka hāʻawi pio) mai nā kumu ʻē aʻe a Harry Truman i ʻōlelo ai, e like me i ʻōlelo ʻia i loko o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, "i ka hana ʻana me kahi holoholona, e mālama iā ia e like me ka holoholona." ʻAʻole pono ka pono no ka pepehi kanaka ʻana; ʻaʻole lākou he poʻe.
E manaʻo ʻaʻole nā kānaka o Afghanistan, ʻIraka, Suria, Somalia, a me Yemen ʻaʻole he poʻe. Heluhelu i nā hōʻike nūhou e pili ana i nā kaua pau ʻole. E ʻike inā ʻaʻole lākou e noʻonoʻo i kēlā ala.
