ʻO ka puke kupaianaha a Anna Baltzer Hoike ma Palesetine: He wahine Iudaio Amerika ma na Panalaau i Nohoia ua hōʻano hou ʻia i nā makahiki, a ʻo kaʻu heluhelu ʻana no ka manawa mua. Ma kahi kūpono ʻole, a - e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia - hewa, ʻo kaʻu pane mua i ka huli ʻana i nā ʻaoʻao mua: Pono anei mākou i kekahi o kēia? Manaʻo ka Iudaio i ka puʻu o nā moʻolelo. Kūʻē ka Iudaio i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. Ke ho'āʻo nei ka Iudaio e wehe i nā maka o kekahi. Ua maʻa e like me ka "Dog Bites Man." ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke kaʻana like i hoʻokahi puke ma kahi o ka poʻe a pau e kākau i kāna ponoʻī, a laila hoʻohui i kā mākou kālā a hiki i ka hiki iā mākou ke kūʻai i kahi kīwī i hiki ai i nā kānaka ke ala nui?
Akā, eia ka mea. ʻOiai ua maʻa wau i ka wehewehe ʻana i kēlā me kēia puke i ka maikaʻi a i ʻole kekahi o nā puke maikaʻi loa, ʻaʻole like lākou a pau. ʻO kekahi o nā pono o kēia mea ʻo ia ka mea e hana ai - a ke manaʻo nei au e hana inā ʻaʻole i kēia manawa - he puke kikokikona maikaʻi loa i nā kula. A me ka nui o na kanaka ua e ala ana, me ke kīwī ʻole, a ma muli paha o nā puke a pau, me nā nīnauele a me nā hanana e pili ana i nā puke. ʻO ka neʻe ʻana i ka US e kūʻē i nā kaua o ka ʻIseraʻela (a me nā ʻoihana a me ka apartheid) e hōʻike ana i ka neʻe ʻana i nā kaua āpau, a me nā kaua US, hiki i kēlā mau mea. E hōʻike ana paha i ka poʻe kākau moʻolelo ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kā lākou mau hana ma mua o ka hoʻolilo ʻana i ko lākou manawa e kōkua ai i ka poʻe Fox News e ʻike i nā sperm huna i nā kiʻi pelekikena.
Ua hala wau ua paio he kaukaʻi ʻo West Point no ka hiki ke hoʻāpono ʻia ke kaua, a ua hoʻāʻo wau e kiʻi iā ia e inoa i kekahi mau kaua maoli i kūpono ʻia (e kū'ē i nā kaua theoretical). Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo ke kaua ʻeono lā o ka ʻIseraʻela ʻo ke kaua "quintessentially" wale nō. No laila ma kā mākou paio lua, Heluhelu au iaia mai a Los Angeles Times kolamu a Miko Peled e hōʻike ana i ka poʻe nāna i hoʻomaka i kēlā kaua i hana pēlā no ka mea ua ʻike lākou i ka manawa kūpono no ka hoʻouka kaua a me ka naʻi aupuni. ʻO nā mea i hōʻike ʻia e Peled e laha loa a ʻike ʻia i ke ao holoʻokoʻa inā hōʻoia lākou ua hana ʻia ʻo ʻAmelika e ke Akua i kumu hoʻohālike no ka poʻe pupule o ka honua. ʻIke ʻia ka ʻike inā makemake ʻia. Akā, no ke aha ʻaʻole ʻo kēlā me kēia kaua hoʻokahi i hiki ʻole i nā nūhou makemake ʻole, no ka mea hiki i ka honua ke hana i kahi mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi me $2 trillion i ka makahiki?
ʻO kaʻu hoa hoʻopaʻapaʻa he kanaka i komo i nā kaua US ma Iraq a me Afghanistan akā hōʻole pinepine i ka haʻi ʻana inā he kaua pololei a hewa ʻole paha lākou. I loko o kā mākou hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻelua, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hiki ke kala ʻia nā poʻe hou hou no ka hōʻole ʻana i ke komo ʻana i kēlā mau kaua, akā ʻo kēlā mau koa i aʻo ʻia i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. Eia naʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kekahi mea i kū like ʻole me kēlā, i ka manawa, ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa, nīnau hou au iā ia inā he kaua kūpono ʻo Iraq 2003-on, ʻae a ʻaʻole paha? Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he mea kūpono ʻole ma hope o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma muli o ka ʻike hou. Akā naʻe, ua hoʻolaha nui ʻo ia a komo i kēlā kaua ma hope o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o kekahi ʻike i manaʻo ʻia he hou (ʻo ia hoʻi ke ʻano o ka haʻalele ʻana o nā WMD) a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka wahaheʻe i manaʻo ʻia ua maopopo loa. palapalaʻia, a o ka poe nana i hoike mua mai i ka wahahee akaka, ua hooiaio pono ia.
ʻO kaʻu hoa paio huikau i makemake nui e kamaʻilio e pili ana i nā hoʻohālikelike i nā Samaria maikaʻi a me nā kauka a me nā muggers ma mua o nā kaua maoli, no laila ua kuhikuhi aku au iā ia i ka hopohopo o ka ʻIseraʻela ma 1967 i loko o 18 mau mahina ʻo ʻAigupita hiki ke hoʻouka iā ia ʻaʻohe mea like me ka immediacy. a me ka wikiwiki o ka mea i loaʻa i ka ʻaihue. I ka hana ʻana i kēia ʻōlelo aʻu i ʻōlelo ai i nā "mau makahiki o ka hana genocidal" ma hope o ke kaua. Ua hoʻopiʻi mai kekahi iaʻu no ka hoʻohana hewa ʻana i ka huaʻōlelo genocide. No laila, kuhikuhi wau i ka wehe kūkā ka luku ʻana e ka poʻe ʻIseraʻela kiʻekiʻe. Hōʻike ka puke a Baltzer i ka hoʻolaha ākea o ka luku ʻana e nā poʻe noho a me nā koa o ka ʻIseraʻela. Akā, ua haʻi ʻia mai iaʻu ʻaʻole like ka hewa o ka "hoʻoulu ʻana i ka pepehi kanaka" me ka pepehi kanaka. No laila, he mea maikaʻi ke hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka ʻIseraʻela no ka "hoʻoulu ʻana i ka pepehi kanaka" akā ʻaʻole i hana i kekahi mea genocidal. ʻAʻohe oʻu manaʻo i ka manaʻo o Baltzer a ʻaʻole makemake wau e hoʻomāhuahua i ka nīnau lapuwale o ka hoʻohana ʻana i kekahi huaʻōlelo, akā paipai wau e heluhelu i kāna puke.
Keia puke palapala i ka normalization o ka lōʻihi-manawa gradual genocide, ka mea i loko o kona lōʻihi lawelawe ma ke ano he kuai mea hana no na hanauna o ka hou mea kaua mea kaua. Hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa ma nā wahi nānā a hiki i ka make ʻana o ka mea maʻi. Ua pana ʻia nā keiki no ka hele ʻana ma kahi kokoke i ka pā i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka pōpeku. Ua ālai ʻia nā lako. Hoʻokau ʻia ka ʻai ʻole me ka manaʻo a me ka holomua. Kāohi ʻia ka lawaiʻa. Hoʻopiha ʻia kekahi kauhale i ka wai hoʻoheheʻe maka me ʻelima poʻe e make ana i loko. ʻO kēia a me nā haneli o nā ʻenehana ʻē aʻe e hoʻoikaika i ka manaʻo nui ma hope o ka apartheid, a e hana i kahi mea ʻē aʻe i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka pepehi kanaka wikiwiki: ka banalization o ka hewa. Kāhea iā ia i kēlā me kēia o ke koko hell āu e makemake ai e kapa iā ia. Akā, mai hoʻokuʻu i ka ʻoluʻolu ʻole o ia mea e pale iā mākou mai ka hana ʻana e hoʻōki.
