xa Washington Post iveze ngoLwesihlanu emva kwemini ukuba "ulawulo lweBiden kwezi ntsuku zidlulileyo lugunyazise ukuhanjiswa kweebhiliyoni zeedola kwiibhombu kunye neejethi zokulwa kwaSirayeli," uninzi lwabantu lunenkathalo.
Abafundi beli bali bathumele izimvo ezingaphezu kwe-10,000 kwiphepha layo lewebhu. Indawo ehamba phambili yenkqubela phambili yeendaba ezilungileyo, amaphupha aqhelekileyo, alandelwe ngokukhawuleza Ukufihla phantsi komxholo oqala ngegama elithi “amanyala.” Iimpendulo kumajelo onxibelelwano zazikhawuleza kwaye zinamandla; a weposi malunga nalo isikhundla Iqela lethu eRootsAction lifumene iimbono ezingaphezulu kwama-600,000.
Kodwa kwi ENew York Times - Iphephandaba lesizwe ekucingelwa ukuba lirekhodi - usuku emva kolunye lwahamba njengoko abahleli bagqiba ukuba ibali malunga nokudluliselwa okukhulu kwezixhobo kwaSirayeli kwakungafanelanga ukuba kunikwe ingxelo ngayo konke konke. Kodwa yayiqinile. I-Reuters ukuthunyelwa uthe imithombo emibini "iqinisekisile" i Iposi ingxelo.
Ngokushiya, i ENew York Times yanika ukomeleza kwinkqubo yokwenziwa kwesiqhelo ukubulawa kwabantu eGaza, ngokungathi ukuthumela izixa ezikhulu zeebhombu zeeponti ezingama-2,000 ukuze zisetyenziswe ukuthatha ubomi babantu basePalestine yinto engaqhelekanga kwaye ayifaneleki. Ngenye imini kwiofisi yembubhiso.
Ukusilela ngabom kwe Maxesha ukuchaza iindaba ezibaluleke kakhulu zothutho olukhulu lwezixhobo ezitsha yayiluphawu olucacileyo lokuba ukuzimisela kukaMalume uSam ukuthetha kumacala omabini omlomo wakhe - ukuncedisa kwimbubhiso eyongezelelekileyo eyonakalisa umphefumlo - yayingeyonto inkulu.
Ekupheleni kwempelaveki, ndathumela i-imeyile kwi Maxesha umhleli olawulayo uCarolyn Ryan kwaye wabuza ukuba kutheni iphephandaba lingaquki ibali konke konke. Uphendule umbuzo wam kuye Maxesha umanejala wobudlelwane boluntu, onike kuphela impendulo engaphendulwanga ngobusuku bangoMvulo. Nantsi igcwele: “I ENew York Times uye watyala imali engaphezulu kunalo naliphi na elinye iphephandaba lase-US kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo ukunceda abafundi baqonde ukuntsonkotha kongquzulwano lukaSirayeli neHamas. Siyaqhubeka nokunika ingxelo ngemisitho njengoko ikhula, kulo mmandla, kumazwe ngamazwe nakurhulumente wase-US. "
Ukuphepha ngokupheleleyo, okuzaliswe kukuzikhukhumalisa, kwabonakalisa ukuzingca kwamandla eendaba aphuma kwelona phephandaba linempembelelo nefikelela kude kwelaseUnited States. Endaweni yokukhulisa ibali elibalulekileyo kwi-echo chamber yesizwe yeendaba, i Maxesha wakhetha ukuyicima.
Intetho ethi "ubulungisa bubambezelekile bububulungisa bunqatshiwe" ihambelana neendaba zeendaba kunye nemfazwe - ukulibaziseka kobuntatheli kukukhatywa kobuntatheli. Ukwaliwa kwe Maxesha ukuqukumbela ibali emva kokuba liqhawukile yayibubugwenxa bobuntatheli, inceda ukulenza libe libali elidlulayo losuku olunye endaweni yokuba libe ngumxholo wentetho yesizwe egxininisiweyo ebekufanele ukuba.
The isikhundla inqaku yabhentsisa, ngexesha elibalulekileyo lembali, impikiswano ebulalayo phakathi kokuziphatha kwamagosa aphezulu kurhulumente wase-US - encedisa ngokuthe ngqo kwaye exhasa inkqubo yakwaSirayeli. ukubulawa kwabantu eGaza ngelixa ethetha amazwi alula ngabo.
Kwisigwebo salo esiphambili, icwecwe lathi i-White House ikuvumile ukuthunyelwa kweebhombu kunye neejethi ezintsha "ngaphandle kwenkxalabo yeWashington malunga nokuhlaselwa komkhosi osemazantsi eGaza okunokusongela ubomi bamakhulu amawaka abantu basePalestine." I-juxtaposition ibonise ukuba ngokwenene "iinkxalabo zaseWashington" ziyinkohliso kangakanani.
"Iipakethi zezixhobo ezintsha zibandakanya ngaphezulu kwe-1,800 MK84 2,000 yeebhombu zeeponti kunye neebhombu ezingama-500 MK82 500-ponti, ngokutsho kwePentagon kunye namagosa eSebe likaRhulumente awaziyo lo mcimbi," utshilo. isikhundla ingxelo. “Iibhombu eziziiponti ezingama-2,000 XNUMX zinxulunyaniswa nezangaphambili iziganeko zokwenzakala ngobuninzi ngalo lonke ixesha lokulwa kukaSirayeli eGaza.”
Esi siqwengana sicaphule igosa le-White House elingachazwanga, elithe, enyanisweni, lagxininisa ukuba yonke intetho kaMongameli uBiden ekucingelwa ukuba unxunguphalo malunga nokubulawa kwabantu okuqhubeka eGaza ibe sisenzo esikhohlakeleyo sokuqhumisa umsi kwi-PR: “Siqhubekile nokuxhasa ilungelo lika-Israyeli. ukuzikhusela. Uncedo lokulungisa ibingengomgaqo wethu. ”
Uguqulo: Siyaqhubeka nokuxhasa, ngoncedo olukhulu lomkhosi, ilungelo lika-Israel lokuqhubeka nokuxhela abantu basePalestina.
ukuba Maxesha Abahleli kufuneka baqonde ukuba zoyikeka kangakanani na iibhombu ezingama-2,000 zeeponti ngoku ezisendleleni eya kwaSirayeli ngokwenene, banokufunda ingxelo ephuma kwiphephandaba labo. NgoDisemba, oko ichazwe ezo bhombu "njengenye yezona zixhobo zitshabalalisayo kwizixhobo zomkhosi zaseNtshona" - isixhobo "esikhupha amaza okudubula kunye namaqhekeza esinyithi angamawaka eenyawo macala onke." Emva phaya, i Maxesha boniswe ukuba “uSirayeli wasebenzisa ezi ziqhulo kwindawo eyimisele ukuba ikhuseleke kubemi ubuncinane izihlandlo ezingama-200,” yaye ezo ziqhushumbisi zibunzima buziikhilogram ezingama-2,000 XNUMX “zayisisisongelo esikhulu kubantu abafuna ukhuseleko ngaphaya kweGaza.”
Kukubheja okukhuselekileyo ukuba ukuhanjiswa okutsha kweebhombu ze-2,000-pound ku-Israel kuya kubonakala kuneendaba ngakumbi kubahleli bephephandaba. ENew York Times ukuba ubomi babantu ababathandayo babusemngciphekweni.
