ʻO ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni hou ʻO ka manuʻa mai Hiroshima, e haʻi i ka moʻolelo ʻo Setsuko Thurlow he kaikamahine kula ma Hiroshima i ka manawa i hoʻokuʻu ai ka United States i ka pona mua mua. Ua huki ʻia ʻo ia mai loko o kahi hale kahi i pau ai ka 27 o kāna mau hoa hele a make. Ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā hōʻeha a me nā hōʻeha nui a me ka kanu ʻana o ka nui o nā mea aloha, aloha, a me nā malihini.
No kā Setsuko mai kahi ʻohana maikaʻi a ʻōlelo ʻo ia e pono ʻo ia e hana i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i kāna hoʻopono ʻana i ka poʻe ʻilihune, akā ua lanakila nui ʻo ia i kekahi mau mea kupanaha. ʻO kāna kula, he kula Karistiano, a he manaʻo nō ia e like me ka mana o ka kumu ka ʻōlelo aʻo a ka mea kumu e komo ai i ka activism e like me ke ala e lilo ai ka Karistiano. ʻO kēlā aupuni nui a Kristiano i luku loa i kona kūlanakauhale nui i loko o ke Kristiano. He hana ʻole nā Westerners. Ua hina ʻo ia i ke aloha me kekahi kanaka Kanaka i noho a hana i Iapana.
Ua haʻalele ʻo ia iā ia no ka manawa pōkole ma Iāpana e hele i ke Kulanui o Lynchburg kokoke loa i koʻu wahi e noho ai i Virginia - kahi mea aʻu i ʻike ʻole ai e pili ana iā ia a hiki i koʻu nānā ʻana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻAʻole mea nui ka weliweli a me ka trauma i loaʻa iā ia. ʻAʻole ia he mea i ka ʻāina ʻē. I ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā mea kaua nukelea ʻē aʻe ma nā mokupuni ʻo ka Pākīpika kahi i hoʻokuke aku ai i nā kamaʻāina, ua ʻōlelo kūʻē ʻo Setsuko iā ia ma ka pāpāho ʻo Lynchburg. He mea ʻole nā leka ʻino i loaʻa iā ia. I ka pili ʻana o kāna ipo aloha iā ia a ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke male ma Virginia ma muli o ke kānāwai hoʻokae ʻino e pili ana i ka "male male" i puka mai ka manaʻo lāhui like i hana i nā pōkā o Hiroshima a me Nagasaki, ʻaʻole ia he mea nui. Ua male lāua ma Wakinekona, DC
ʻO ka mea i hōʻino ʻia e nā kaua Komohana, ʻaʻole nui ka leo o ka pālani ʻana a me ka pilikia o ka lehulehu. ʻO nā loea i ʻike ʻia ma nā kalena o ke Komohana, a aneane piha nō ka pro-kaua, pro-imperial, pro-koloni, a i ʻole he mea hoʻokae paha o ka propaganda pro-aupuni. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Setsuko a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i ka hakakā like me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi liʻiliʻi ma kēia mau lula. Mahalo i kā lākou hana, nā mea hoʻomanaʻo o nā pahukihi nukleuk i ka lā 6 o ʻAukaketh a me 9th hoʻomanaʻo ʻia a puni ka honua, a me nā pōpoki antiwar a me nā hoʻomanaʻo a me nā māka e hōʻailona ana i ka noho ʻana o nā pōpilikia i kahi ma ka lehulehu i hoʻomāliʻi ʻia e nā pā pro-kaua a me nā pilahi.
ʻAʻole wale ʻo Setsuko i loaʻa i kahi leo lehulehu e kamaʻilio ana e pili ana i ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia o ke kaua, akā ua kōkua ʻo ia e kūkulu i kahi hoʻoulu kaua e hoʻopau i nā mea kaua nuklea i hana i kahi kuʻikahi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e 39 mau ʻāina a piʻi aʻe - kahi hoʻolaha e kau ana i ka aʻo ʻana i ka poʻe e pili ana i ka poʻe i hala a me nā mea e hiki mai ana i ka wā e hiki mai ana. o ke kaua. Paipai au hui pūʻia kēlā hoʻolaha haʻi ke hui pū ʻana o ke Aupuni US e hui aku ai i ka kuʻikahi, a haʻi ke aupuni US e hoʻoneʻe i ke kālā ma waho o nā mea kaua kaua a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe o ka mīkini kaua. Ua hana ʻo Setsuko me ka lanakila o ka Nobel Peace, kahi hōʻailona no ka haʻalele ʻana o ke Komite Nobel i nulihi ʻole i ka hāʻawi ʻana i kēlā makana i ka poʻe e hana ana e hoʻopau i ke kaua (ʻoiai ke kau ʻana ma ka makemake o Alfred Nobel e pono ai inā hana wale nō).
He aha ka mea e lawe mākou i nā hana a Setsuko a ʻaʻole i like me ka mea i hoʻomaka ʻia e kahaha ʻia ia, akā, he ʻano hoʻohālike e hoʻohuli ai? ʻOiaʻiʻo, he ʻokoʻa nā kinipika nukali (a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o lākou ma ke ala a i ʻole mākou e pau) a i ʻole he hōʻeha kino, a i ʻole ke lohi a me nā maʻi, a i ʻole ke hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kaua kaua nika inā manaʻo mākou i nā mea hana uranium. ʻO nā moʻolelo mai nā kūlanakauhale i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e Iapana kahi i loaʻa ʻole ʻia, he mea hōʻeha nā naʻau e like me nā Hiroshima a me Nagasaki. ʻO nā moʻolelo i nā makahiki i hala iho nei mai Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Suria, Libya, Somalia, Kongo, Pelekikena, Mexico a me kēlā me kēia, e like me ka neʻe ʻana.
He aha inā ka moʻomeheu US - hana i nā loli nui i kēia manawa, e wāwahi ana i nā kia hoʻomanaʻo a hoʻokau paha i kekahi mau mea hou - e lilo i wahi no ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia i ke kaua? Inā hiki i ka poʻe ke aʻo e hoʻolohe i ka naʻauao o ka mea i hōʻeha ʻia ʻo Hiroshima, no ke aha e kamaʻilio ʻole ai nā mea i loaʻa iā Baghdad a me Kabul a me Sanaa ma nā hanana lehulehu (a i ʻole nā kāhea ʻo Zoom) i nā hui nui a me nā hui ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Inā kūpono ka maka i ka poʻe make 200,000, ʻaʻole pono ka 2,000,000 a ʻoi paha mai nā kaua hou? Inā hiki i nā mea ola nukelea ke hoʻomaka e lohe ʻia i kēia mau makahiki i hala aku, hiki iā mākou ke wikiwiki i ke kaʻina o ka hoʻolohe ʻana mai nā mea i pakele i nā kaua e hoʻonāukiuki nei i kēia wā nā nukelea e nā aupuni like ʻole.
ʻOiai ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka hana weliweli, ʻaoʻao hoʻokahi, a me ka luku nui ʻana o ka poʻe mamao e pili ana i ka lehulehu o ka US i haʻi liʻiliʻi ʻia, ʻo nā lāhui i makemake ʻia e like me North Korea a me Kina ʻaʻole lākou e hāʻawi i nā mea kaua nukelea. A ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou e hana - ke ālai ʻana i ka mālamalama hoʻololi i loko a i hoʻonui ākea paha i ka kūʻē wiwo ʻole me ka ʻole - ʻaʻole nō ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻO ka hoʻowahāwahā ʻana i nā mea kaua o nā mea kaua nuklea ka mea maopopo, ʻo ka mea nui loa, hoʻopau iā ia iho a me ka hana mua e kāpae iā mākou iho i ke kaua, akā ʻaʻole paha e hiki ke hana ʻia ke ʻole mākou e neʻe i mua i ka hoʻopau ʻana iā mākou iho i nā hui o ke kaua i ka manawa like.
