Zipatala ziyenera kukhala malo ochiritsirako, osati malo ochitirako nkhondo.

Zaka makumi angapo zapitazo ku Chicago, zomwe ndimakonda pa ntchito zingapo za ophunzira zanthawi yochepa zinali kugwiritsa ntchito telefoni "yachikale" pachipatala chaching'ono chotchedwa Forkosh Memorial. Ma koyilo ndi mapulagi anali ndi galasi loti ogwira ntchito aziyang'anitsitsa pakhomo lachipatala, lomwe pamapeto a sabata ndi madzulo ankayang'aniridwa ndi msilikali wachikulire, wopanda zida dzina lake Frank. Anakhala pa desiki la kalasi pafupi ndi khomo lolowera ndi buku laleja. M’kati mwa zaka zinayi, Loweruka ndi Lamlungu ndi madzulo, “chitetezo” chachipatala nthaŵi zambiri chinali ine ndi Frank. Mwamwayi, palibe zambiri zomwe zachitikapo. Kuthekera kwa kuwukira, kuwukira kapena kuwukira sikunachitike kwa ife. Lingaliro la kuphulika kwa bomba la ndege linali losayerekezeka, monga china chake kuchokera mu "Nkhondo Yapadziko Lonse" kapena zongopeka zina za sci-fi.

Tsopano, zomvetsa chisoni, zipatala ku Gaza ndi West Bank zawukiridwa, kuukiridwa, kuphulitsidwa ndi mabomba ndi kuwonongedwa. Nkhani za kuukira kowonjezereka kwa Israeli zikunenedwa tsiku ndi tsiku. Sabata yatha, Demokarase Tsopano! anafunsa Dr. Yasser Khan, dokotala wa ophthalmologist wa ku Canada ndi dokotala wa opaleshoni wa maso amene posachedwapa anabwerera kuchokera ku ntchito yothandiza anthu pachipatala cha European ku Khan Yunis ku Gaza. Dr. Khan analankhula za kuphulika kwa mabomba komwe kumachitika maola angapo aliwonse zomwe zimachititsa kuti anthu ambiri awonongeke. Ambiri mwa odwala omwe ankawachiritsa anali ana a zaka zapakati pa 2 mpaka 17. Anawona kuvulala koopsa kwa maso, nkhope zosweka, mabala a shrapnel, kuvulala m'mimba, miyendo yodulidwa pamwamba pa fupa, ndi zoopsa zomwe zinayambitsidwa ndi drone yomwe inawombera mizinga yotsogoleredwa ndi laser. Pakati pa kuchulukana komanso chipwirikiti, ogwira ntchito yazaumoyo amasamalira odwala pomwe analibe zida zoyambira, kuphatikiza opaleshoni. Odwala anagona pansi m'malo osabala, osatetezeka ku matenda ndi matenda. Ambiri a iwo ankavutikanso ndi njala yaikulu.

Nthawi zambiri, mwana wodulidwa ziwalo amakumana ndi maopaleshoni owonjezera khumi ndi awiri. Khan ankadzifunsa kuti ndi ndani amene angawasamalire anawa, omwe ena alibe achibale otsala?

Ananenanso kuti moto wa sniper umalepheretsa madokotala kupita kuntchito. “Apha ogwira ntchito zachipatala, anamwino, ogwira ntchito zachipatala; ma ambulansi aphulitsidwa. Zonsezi zakhala mwadongosolo, "Khan adalongosola. “Tsopano pali matupi 10,000 mpaka 15,000 omwe akuwola. Ino ndi nyengo yamvula ku Gaza kotero kuti madzi onse amvula amasakanikirana ndi matupi akuwola komanso kuti mabakiteriya amasakanikirana ndi madzi akumwa ndipo mumadwala matenda enanso. "

Malinga ndi Khan, asitikali aku Israeli adabera madotolo makumi anayi mpaka makumi anayi ndi asanu, makamaka akulimbana ndi akatswiri komanso oyang'anira zipatala. Mabungwe atatu ogwira ntchito zachipatala atulutsa mawu osonyeza kukhudzidwa kwakukulu kuti asilikali a Israeli adabera ndikumanga Dr. Khaled al-Serr, dokotala wa opaleshoni pachipatala cha Nasser ku Gaza.

Pa February 19, Director-General wa WHO Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus akufotokozedwa zomwe zili m'chipatala cha Nasser Israeli atalamula kuti anthu aku Palestine achoke m'malo ovuta. "Pakadali odwala opitilira 180 ndi madotolo ndi anamwino 15 mkati mwa Nasser," adatero. “Chipatalachi chikusoŵabe chakudya, zinthu zofunika pachipatalapo, ndiponso mpweya wa okosijeni. Kulibe madzi apampopi ndiponso magetsi, kupatulapo jenereta yosungiramo makina opulumutsa moyo.”

Zaka zisanu ndi zitatu zapitazo, mu October 2015, asilikali a United States anawononga Chipatala cha Kunduz ku Afghanistan, choyendetsedwa ndi Médecins sans Frontières (Madokotala Opanda Malire). Kwa nthawi yopitilira ola limodzi, ndege yonyamula anthu ya C-130 idawombera mobwerezabwereza zida zowotchera mchipinda chodzidzimutsa chachipatala komanso chipinda chosamalira odwala kwambiri, kupha 42 anthu. Anthu makumi atatu ndi asanu ndi awiri owonjezera avulala. "Odwala athu adawotchedwa m'mabedi awo," adawerenga a MSF's lipoti lakuya. “Antchito athu azachipatala adadulidwa mutu kapena manja ndi miyendo. Ena anawomberedwa m’mwamba pamene ankathawa m’nyumba yoyaka motoyo.”

Kuukira koopsa kumeneku kunakwiyitsa otsutsa nkhondo ndi magulu a ufulu wa anthu. Ndikukumbukira ndikulowa m'gulu la omenyera ufulu wa anthu kumpoto kwa NY omwe adasonkhana kunja kwa chipinda chodzidzimutsa kuchipatala ndi chikwangwani cholengeza kuti "Kuphulitsa tsamba lino ndi mlandu wankhondo."

Mu 2009, pamlingo wocheperako, komabe wowopsa, ndidawona kuukira kwa Israeli ku Gaza kotchedwa "Operation Cast Lead." M'chipinda chodzidzimutsa chachipatala cha Al Shifa, Dr. Saeed Abuhassan, dokotala wa opaleshoni ya mafupa, akufotokozedwa zochitika zofanana ndi za Khan. Dokotala ameneyu anakulira ku Chicago, pafupi kwambiri ndi dera limene ndinkakhala. Ndinamufunsa zimene akufuna kuti ndikauze aneba kwathu kwathu. Iye anandandalika mndandanda wa zoopsa ndipo kenako anasiya. “Ayi,” iye anatero. "Choyamba, muyenera kuwauza kuti ndalama za okhometsa msonkho ku US zidalipira zida zonsezi."

Ndalama za okhometsa msonkho zimadyetsa bajeti ya Pentagon yotupa, yotupa. Maseneta aku US, sabata yatha, ng'ombe ndi AIPAC, adaganiza zotumizira Israeli ndalama zowonjezera $ 14.1 biliyoni kulimbikitsa ndalama zankhondo. Maseneta atatu okha anavotera bilu.

Kuchokera ku Palestine, Wokondedwa Arraf, loya wa ufulu wachibadwidwe wa anthu wa ku Palestine ndi America, analemba pa X kuti: “Chinthu chochititsa mantha sindicho chakuti Israyeli akukonzekera kusamutsidwa mokakamiza kwa Apalestina amene sanawaphe, koma kuti dziko lotchedwa ‘dziko lotukuka’ likulola kutero. kuchitika. Zotsatira za zoyipa zomwe zalumikizidwazi zidzavutitsa ogwirizana nawo m'mibadwo ikubwerayi. ”

Ku chipatala cha Forkosh m'zaka za m'ma 1970, ndinali ndi galasi kuti ndiwone zomwe zikuchitika kumbuyo kwanga, koma aliyense padziko lapansi akhoza kuona, mwachindunji, kuopsa kwa thandizo la US pazochitika zakupha zomwe zikuchitika pa wotchi yathu. Mwakuya Mabaibulo opotoka zomwe zinachitika pa October 7^th, sangathe - ngakhale atakhulupirira - kulungamitsa kukula kwa zoopsa zomwe zikunenedwa ku Gaza ndi West Bank tsiku lililonse.

Boma la US likupitilizabe mwachidwi kuwononga Israeli mwadongosolo komanso mwankhanza ku Gaza. Alangizi aku US yesetsani kulephera kutanthauza kuti Israeli aime kaye kapena ayesetse kunena molondola pakuwukira kwawo. Pakufuna kwake kukhala wapamwamba kwambiri, dziko la United States likuphwanya chilichonse chotsalira pa kudzipereka ku ufulu wa anthu, kufanana ndi ulemu waumunthu.

Zomwe zidapangitsa kuti Chipatala cha Forkosh chitetezeke, zaka zambiri zapitazo, chinali mgwirizano wapagulu womwe umawoneka kuti ndi chitetezo pachipatala chaching'ono chothandizira anthu amderali.

Ngati sitingathe kupeza makhalidwe abwino kuti tisiye kupereka zida za nkhondo za Israeli zomwe zikuchitika ku Gaza ndi malo ake ochiritsira, titha kupeza kuti tapanga dziko lomwe palibe amene angadalire kuti ateteze ufulu wa anthu. Tikhoza kukhala tikupanga mabala a udani ndi chisoni a mibadwo yambiri, kumene sikudzakhalanso malo otetezeka ochiritsirako.
