Sabata ino, pomwe New York Times idawonetsa maganizo chidutswa ndi bilionea Michael Bloomberg, zidagwirizana ndi kuchuluka kwa zochonderera zaposachedwa kuchokera kwa otsatira otchuka aku America a Israeli. Bloomberg anachenjeza kuti mgwirizano watsopano wa Israeli ukuyesera kupatsa nyumba yamalamulo mphamvu "yothetsa Khothi Lalikulu la dzikolo ndikuphwanya ufulu wa munthu aliyense, kuphatikiza pa nkhani monga zolankhula ndi atolankhani, ufulu wofanana kwa anthu ochepa komanso ufulu wovota." Kusintha koteroko, Bloomberg adawonjezeranso, kufooketsa "kudzipereka kolimba ku ufulu" kwa Israeli.
Kudzipereka kolimba ku ufulu? Izo ndithudi zingakhale nkhani kwa oposa 5 miliyoni Anthu aku Palestine omwe akukhala pansi pa Israeli ku Gaza ndi West Bank.
Zikunamizira kuti zomwe zikuchitika pano ndi Israeli zikufanana ndi kusiyana kodabwitsa kuchokera ku chilengedwe chake. Nthawi zina, kukana kumakhazikika pamwano komanso mopanda nzeru malingaliro kuti Ayuda sakonda kuchita nkhanza kuposa anthu ena onse. Koma zochitika zaposachedwa ku Israeli zikupitilizabe njira yayitali ya Zionist yomwe yalimbikitsidwa ndi zosakaniza za chikhumbo chovomerezeka cha chitetezo ndi chikhalidwe chambiri, ndi zotsatira zoyipa.
Mabungwe atatu odziwika bwino a ufulu wachibadwidwe - Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch ndi B'Tselem - apereka chigamulo chomveka bwino komanso chotsimikizika: Israeli ikugwira ntchito ya tsankho motsutsana ndi Palestine.
Akuluakulu aku Israeli akakumana ndi chowonadi chotere - monga zikuwonetsedwa mu a kanema waposachedwa Pamsonkhano wa Q&A ndi kazembe wa Israeli Tzipi Hotovely ku Oxford Union ku Britain - kuyankha kwaposachedwa ndi komvetsa chisoni komanso kokwiyitsa.
M'masabata angapo apitawa, boma la Israeli lakhala lowopsa kwambiri polankhula ndi kupondereza m'machitidwe, ndi asitikali ake. kuteteza Ayuda okhala m'dzikolo monga iwo adazunza anthu aku Palestine ndi chiwawa choopsa.
Israeli yakhala zotsatira za maloto a Zionist, koma nthawi yomweyo zoopsa zenizeni za anthu aku Palestina. Kugwira ntchito kwa Gaza ndi West Bank komwe kunayamba mu 1967 sikunali kanthu kakang'ono kuposa upandu wopitilira, waukulu wotsutsana ndi anthu. Tsopano, koyambirira kwa 2023 kwabweretsa kusefukira komwe sikunachitikepo kuchokera kwa otsatira a Israeli ku United States. Boma latsopano la Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lanena momveka bwino zake kunyozedwa kwa fascistic kwa miyoyo ya Palestina, ngakhale kuchitapo kanthu kuti kuletsa maufulu ena Ayuda a ku Israeli.
Kuyambira pakati pa mwezi wa February, bungwe lotsogolera lachiyuda lachiyuda la J Street - "pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy" - lakhala likuwomba mowopsa. Purezidenti wa gululi, Jeremy Ben-Ami, Imachenjeza kuti atatenga ulamuliro kumayambiriro kwa mwezi wa January, “anthu akutali . . . tsopano akulamulira mwamphamvu boma la Israel.” Ndipo "akuyenda pa liwiro la mphezi kuti akhazikitse zomwe akufuna, ndikuwopseza kuti apangitsa Israeli kukhala yosazindikirika kwa Ayuda mamiliyoni ambiri ndi ena ku United States omwe amasamala kwambiri za dzikolo ndi anthu ake, komanso omwe amakhulupirira mfundo za demokalase pomwe idakhazikitsidwa. .”
Mu chenjezo la imelo, J Street adalengeza kuti "Netanyahu ikuphwanya demokalase ya Israeli" pomwe ikupita patsogolo "ndondomeko yochotsera ufulu wa Khothi Lalikulu la Israeli." J Street anapitiliza kudzudzula boma latsopano la ndondomeko zomwe sizili zosiyana ndi za maboma a Israeli kubwerera zaka zambiri zapitazo; Boma latsopanoli "lapititsa patsogolo mapulani omanga masauzande ambiri okhala m'malo omwe alandidwa" komanso "kuvomereza" kuvomerezeka kwa malo osachepera asanu ndi anayi omwe anali osaloledwa ndi boma la Israeli - zomwe zidachitika kale."
Ndipo komabe, nditadzudzula zochitika zoopsazi, chenjezo la J Street limangokhalira kunena adanena olandira "kungolumikizana ndi nthumwi yanu ku Washington ndikuwalimbikitsa kuti alankhule ndikuyimira zomwe timakonda komanso demokalase."
Kumayambiriro kwa mwezi uno, J Street adadandaula kuti "ziwawa zazikulu ndi mikangano pansi ikupitirirabe - monga chaka chino zachitika zigawenga zakupha ku Israeli komanso chiwerengero chachikulu kwambiri cha imfa pamwezi kwa anthu a Palestina pazaka khumi." Koma J Street amakana kuyitanira kuchepetsedwa - osasiyapo kudulidwa - kwa subsidy yayikulu ya madola mabiliyoni angapo mu thandizo lankhondo zomwe zimayenda zokha chaka chilichonse kuchokera ku US Treasury kupita ku boma la Israeli.
M'malo mokhala "dziko la demokalase lachiyuda," Israeli adasintha kukhala a Dziko lachiyuda lapamwamba kwambiri. M'dziko lenileni, "demokalase ya Israeli" ndi oxymoron. Kukana sikupangitsa zimenezo kukhala zoona.
