M'malo mwake, zikuluzikulu zazikulu zaku America zauza ochita kafukufuku kwazaka zambiri kuti akufuna United States osalowerera ndale pankhondo ya Israeli ndi Palestina. 

Koma atolankhani aku US komanso andale akuwonetsa kusowa kwawo m'ndale podzudzula anthu aku Palestina pazachiwawa zonse zomwe zikuchitika ndikuwukira kosagawanika, kosasankha komanso kosaloledwa ndi Israeli ngati yankho loyenera pazomwe akuchita ku Palestina.

Kusiyanitsa kwa ovulala pakuwukira kwa Israeli ku Gaza kumadzilankhulira. 

• Panthawi yolemba, kuwukira kwa Israel ku Gaza kwapha anthu osachepera 200, kuphatikiza ana 59 ndi akazi 35, pomwe maroketi omwe adawombedwa kuchokera ku Gaza apha anthu 10 ku Israel, kuphatikiza ana awiri.

Monga momwe nkhondo yotsogozedwa ndi Saudi ku Yemen ndi mavuto ena akuluakulu amakono akunja, nkhani zotsutsana komanso zopotozedwa ndi atolankhani aku US zimasiya anthu aku America ambiri osadziwa zomwe angaganize. Ambiri amangosiya kuyesa kuthetsa maufulu ndi zolakwika pazomwe zikuchitika m'malo mwake amadandaula mbali zonse ziwiri, kenako nkuyang'ana kwawo, komwe mavuto amtundu wawo amawakhudza mwachindunji ndipo ndiosavuta kumvetsetsa ndikuchitapo kanthu.

Ndiye anthu aku America akuyenera kuthana bwanji ndi zithunzi zowopsa zakukha magazi, ana akumwalira ndi nyumba zosanduka bwinja ku Gaza? Vuto lofunika kwambiri pamavuto awa ku America ndikuti, kuseri kwa chifunga cha nkhondo, kufalitsa nkhani komanso kutsatsa malonda, kukopa atolankhani, United States ili ndi gawo lalikulu pantchito yopha anthu ku Palestina.

Ndondomeko ya US yapititsa patsogolo mavuto komanso nkhanza zomwe olanda Israeli agwirapo pothandizira mosagwirizana ndi Israeli m'njira zitatu: zankhondo, zokomera komanso zandale. 

Kutsogolo kwa asitikali, kuyambira kukhazikitsidwa kwa dziko la Israeli, United States yapereka $ Biliyoni 146 othandizira akunja, pafupifupi zonse zokhudzana ndi zankhondo. Pakali pano imapereka $ Biliyoni 3.8 chaka chilichonse pothandiza ankhondo ku Israeli. 

Kuphatikiza apo, United States ndi yomwe imagulitsa zida zankhondo kwambiri ku Israeli, yomwe zida zawo zankhondo pano zikuphatikiza 362 yomangidwa ku US Ndege zankhondo za F-16 ndi ndege zina zankhondo zaku US 100, kuphatikiza gulu lomwe likukula la F-35s zatsopano; ndege zosachepera 45 za Apache; 600 M-109 oyendetsa ndipo 64 Zoyambitsa roketi za M270. Pakadali pano, Israeli ikugwiritsa ntchito zida zambiri zoperekedwa ku US pophulitsa mabomba ku Gaza.

Mgwirizano wankhondo waku US ndi Israeli umaphatikizaponso machitidwe olumikizana ankhondo komanso kupanga mivi ya Arrow ndi zida zina. Asitikali aku US ndi Israeli atero adagwirizana pa matekinoloje a drone omwe adayesedwa ndi Israeli ku Gaza. Mu 2004, United States akuyitanidwa Asitikali aku Israeli omwe akudziwa bwino madera omwe amakhala kuti aphunzitse mwaluso magulu ankhondo a US Special Operations Forces atakumana ndi kukana kutchuka kwaukapolo wankhondo waku United States waku Iraq. 

Asitikali aku US amakhalanso ndi zida zankhondo zokwana $ 1.8 biliyoni m'malo asanu ndi limodzi ku Israel, zomwe zidakonzedweratu kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito munkhondo zamtsogolo zaku US ku Middle East. Pomwe Israeli amenya Gaza ku 2014, ngakhale Congress ya US itayimitsa zida zina ku Israel, zidavomereza kugulitsa masheya a zipolopolo za 120mm ndi zipolopolo za 40mm zoyambitsa grenade zochokera ku US zomwe Israeli angagwiritse ntchito polimbana ndi Apalestina ku Gaza.

Mwaukadaulo, United States yagwiritsa ntchito veto ku UN Security Council nthawi 82, ndi 44 a iwo ma veto akhala akuteteza Israeli kuti asayimbidwe mlandu wachiwawa kapena kuphwanya ufulu wa anthu. Mulimonsemo, United States yakhala yovota yokha motsutsana ndi chigamulochi, ngakhale mayiko ena ochepa nthawi zina amakana. 

Ndiudindo wokhawo ku United States wokhala membala wamuyaya wa Security Council, komanso kufunitsitsa kwake kugwiritsa ntchito mwayiwu poteteza anzawo ku Israeli, zomwe zimaupatsa mphamvu yapaderayi yolimbitsira mayiko onse kuti abweretse boma la Israeli kuyankha pazomwe amachita malinga ndi malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi. 

Zotsatira zakusavomerezeka kwa akazitape aku US ku Israeli kwakhala kulimbikitsa kuchitira nkhanza Israeli aku Palestina. Ndi United States ikuletsa kuyankha kulikonse mu Security Council, Israeli yatenga malo ochulukirapo aku Palestina ku West Bank ndi East Jerusalem, adazula anthu aku Palestina ochulukirapo m'nyumba zawo ndikuyankha kukana kwa anthu ambiri opanda zida okhala ndi ziwawa zowonjezeka, kumangidwa ndi zoletsa pa moyo watsiku ndi tsiku. 

Chachitatu, pankhani zandale, ngakhale ambiri aku America kuchirikiza kusalowerera ndale pankhondoyi, AIPAC ndi magulu ena okakamira ku Israeli agwira ntchito yapadera popereka ziphuphu ndikuwopseza andale aku US kuti athandizire Israeli mopanda chinyengo. 

Udindo wa omwe akuthandizira pakuchita nawo kampeni komanso olowerera anthu mndale zaku US aku United States zimapangitsa United States kukhala pachiwopsezo chazogulitsa ndi kuwopseza izi, kaya ndi mabungwe okhaokha komanso magulu amakampani ngati Military-Industrial Complex ndi Big Pharma, kapena- adapeza magulu azandalama ngati NRA, AIPAC ndipo, m'zaka zaposachedwa, olimbikitsa alendo kwa Saudi Arabia ndi United Arab Emirates.

Pa Epulo 22, kutatsala milungu ingapo kuti Gaza ichitike, anthu ambiri pamsonkhano, 330 mwa 435, analemba chikalata kwa mpando ndi membala wa Komiti Yoyang'anira Nyumba Yotsutsa kutsutsa kulikonse kapena kukhazikitsidwa kwa ndalama zaku US ku Israeli. Kalatayo idayimira chiwonetsero champhamvu kuchokera ku AIPAC ndikukana kuyitanidwa kuchokera kwa omwe akupita patsogolo mu Democratic Party kuti athetse kapena kuletsa thandizo ku Israeli. 

Purezidenti Joe Biden, yemwe ali ndi mbiri yakale yothandizira milandu ya ku Israeli, adayankha kuphedwa kwaposachedwa poumirira "ufulu wa Israeli kudziteteza" ndipo mwamanyazi ndikuyembekeza kuti "izi zitha kutseka posachedwa." Kazembe wake wa UN nawonso mwamanyazi adaletsa kuyitanitsa kuti athetse nkhondo ku UN Security Council.

Kukhala chete ndi zoyipa kuchokera kwa Purezidenti Biden komanso nthumwi zambiri ku Congress pakuphedwa kwa anthu wamba ndikuwononga misala kwa Gaza sikungatanthauze. Mawu odziyimira pawokha amalankhula mwamphamvu kwa aku Palestina, kuphatikiza Senator Sanders ndi Oimira Tlaib, Omar ndi Ocasio-Cortez, tiwonetseni momwe demokalase yeniyeni imawonekera, monganso ziwonetsero zazikulu zomwe zadzaza misewu yaku US mdziko lonselo.

Ndondomeko zaku US ziyenera kusinthidwa kuti ziwonetse malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi ndi Kusintha malingaliro aku US mokomera ufulu wa Palestina. Membala aliyense wa Congress ayenera kukankhidwa kuti asaine Bill Woyimira Rep. Betty McCollum akunenetsa kuti ndalama zaku US ku Israeli sizigwiritsidwe ntchito "kuthandizira kumangidwa kwa asitikali aku Palestina, kulanda mosavomerezeka, kulanda, kuwononga katundu wa Palestina ndikusamutsa anthu wamba ku West Bank, kapena kulowereranso Malo aku Palestina akuphwanya malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi. ”

Congress iyeneranso kukakamizidwa kuti ikwaniritse mwachangu lamulo la Arms Export Control Act ndi Leahy Laws kuti asiye kupereka zida zina zaku US ku Israeli mpaka zitasiya kuzigwiritsa ntchito kuwukira ndikupha anthu wamba.

United States yatenga gawo lofunikira komanso lothandiza pazaka makumi ambiri zomwe zakhudza anthu aku Palestina. Atsogoleri andale aku US akuyenera kuyang'anizana ndi dziko lawo, ndipo nthawi zambiri, azichita nawo zadzidzidzi, ndikuchitapo kanthu mwachangu komanso molimba mtima posintha mfundo zaku US kuti zithandizire ufulu wonse wa anthu aku Palestina.
