Unokubambisa iIyunivesithi Ukuvumela ukugxeka kukaSirayeli?

IYunivesithi yaseCalifornia ifuna ukuvala ukugxekwa kukaSirayeli. Le yinto exhaphakileyo eUnited States, njengoko kungqinwa ngu Mbini entsha Iingxelo kunye neemeko ezifana nezo zikaSteven Salaita, umbhali we Amalungelo oLuntu: iPalestine kunye neMida yeNkululeko yezeMfundo.

USalaita wagxothwa yiYunivesithi yase-Illinois ngokugxeka u-Israyeli kwi-Twitter. UNorman Finkelstein waye waliwe yiDyunivesithi yaseDePaul ngenxa yokugxeka uSirayeli. UWilliam Robinson waphantse wagxothwa e-UC Santa Barbara ngenxa yokwenqaba "ukuguquka" emva kokugxeka uSirayeli. UJoseph Massad waseColumbia waba namava afanayo.

Kutheni, kwilizwe elifikelela “inkululeko yokuthetha” ukusa kwinqanaba lokugubungela ukunyotywa kwabezobupolitika, ngaba kufanele kwamkeleke ukugxeka iUnited States kodwa kungabi lilizwe elincinane, elikude elisandul’ ukusekwa ngowe-1948? Ibe kutheni le nto olo lawulo lufanele lufikelele nakumaziko adla ngokufumba “inkululeko yemfundo” phezu “kwenkululeko yokuthetha” njengengxoxo echasene nokuhlolwa?

Okokuqala nokuphambili, ndicinga ukuba, yindalo kaSirayeli. Sisizwe esiqhelisela ucalucalulo kunye nembubhiso kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini ananye sisebenzisa inkxaso-mali yaseMelika kunye nezixhobo. Ayinako ukuphembelela abantu ngokwamkeleka kwale migaqo-nkqubo kwingxoxo-mpikiswano evulelekileyo. Inokuqhubeka kuphela nolwaphulo-mthetho ngokunyanzelisa ukuba - kanye njengorhulumente osebenzela uhlanga olunye kuphela - nakuphi na ukugxekwa kufana nesoyikiso socalucalulo kunye nembubhiso eyaziwa ngokuba "yi-anti-Semitism."

Okwesibini, ndicinga ukuba, kukuthotyelwa kweziko lemfundo eliwohlokayo langoku, elikhonza umnikeli osisityebi, hayi ukuphononongwa kwengqondo yomntu. Xa abanikeli abazizityebi bafuna ukuba "i-anti-Semitism" ikhutshwe, kunjalo. (Yaye umntu unokuchasa njani ngaphandle kokuba “ngumchasi wamaYuda” okanye abonakale ephikisa ukuba eneneni kukho intiyo yokwenyani ehlabathini nokuba kukuziphatha okubi njengentiyo yalo naliphi na elinye iqela.)

Okwesithathu, ukuqhawuka kokugxeka uSirayeli yimpendulo kwimpumelelo yolo gxeko nakwimigudu ye-BDS (ukwayikiswa, ukwahlukana, kunye nezohlwayo) intshukumo. Umbhali wase-Israel uManfred Gerstenfeld upapashe ngokuphandle kwi- IJerusalem Post iqhinga lokwenza umzekelo weenjingalwazi ezimbalwa zase-US ukuze "bathobe isoyikiso lokukwaya."

USalaita wabiza incwadi yakhe Amalungelo Oluntu ngenxa yokuba izityholo zentetho engamkelekanga zithatha uhlobo lokubhengeza imfuno yokukhusela ubuntu. USalaita akazange abhale okanye anxibelelane nantoni na ene-anti-Semitic. Ubhale kwi-tweet kwaye ngenye indlela wanxibelelana neengxelo ezininzi ezichasene ne-anti-Semitism. Kodwa wamgxeka uSirayeli waza watshabhisa kwangaxeshanye. Yaye ukongezelela eso sono, wayesebenzisa uburharha nokuphoxa. Uqheliselo olunjalo lwanele ukuba ugwetywe kwiNkundla Yokucaphuka yase-US ngaphandle kokuphonononga ngenyameko ukuba isiqalekiso esiphoxayo sibonakalisa ngokwenene na intiyo okanye, ngokuchaseneyo, sibonakalise umsindo othethelelekayo. Ukufunda ii-tweets zikaSalaita ezikhubekisayo kumxholo wazo zonke ezinye zakhe ziyamkhulula kwi-anti-Semitism ngelixa emshiya enetyala elicacileyo "lokuchasana namaYuda," oko kukuthi: ukugxeka urhulumente wase-Israel.

Oku kugxekwa kunokuthatha uhlobo lokugxeka abahlali bakwaSirayeli. USalaita ubhala kwincwadi yakhe:

“Phantse isiqingatha sesigidi sabemi bama Yuda kwiWest Bank. Abemi bawo ngoku banda ngokuphindwe kabini kunomlinganiselo wamanye amaSirayeli. Basebenzisa iipesenti ezingama-90 zamanzi eWest Bank; i-3.5 yezigidi zabantu basePalestine bommandla benza ngenxa ye-10 ekhulwini eliseleyo. Bahamba ngoohola bendlela yamaYuda kuphela ngelixa amaPalestine elinda iiyure kwiindawo zokuhlola (ngaphandle kwesiqinisekiso sokudlula, nokuba bonzakele okanye bebeleka). Basoloko bebetha abafazi nabantwana; abanye bangcwaba bephila abantu bomthonyama. Bawonakalisa amakhaya neevenkile. Babaleka abahambi ngeenyawo ngeemoto zabo. Banqanda abalimi kumhlaba wabo. Bachopha ezincotsheni zeenduli ezingezizo ezabo. Baqhumisa izindlu kwaye babulala iintsana. Beza nomkhosi wokhuseleko wobugcisa obuphezulu ubukhulu becala obuqulunqwe ngabantu ababhalisele ukugcina esi sixhobo soyikekayo. ”

Umntu unokufunda nokugxeka okude kune-twitter kwaye acinge ukongezwa okuthile kuyo. Kodwa, ukufunda yonke incwadi endiyicaphule kuyo, kuya kuphelisa ukuba nokwenzeka kokucinga ukuba uSalaita, kwesi sicatshulwa, ukhuthaza impindezelo okanye ubundlobongela okanye ukugweba abahlali ngenxa yenkolo yabo okanye ubuhlanga okanye ukulinganisa bonke abahlali ngaphandle komnye. ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ziyinxalenye yephulo lokuhlanjululwa kohlanga. USalaita akaxoleli nakweliphi na icala lengxabano kodwa ugxeka ingcamango yokuba kukho impixano ePalestine enamacala amabini alinganayo:

Ukusukela ngo-2000, amaSirayeli abulele abantwana abangama-2,060 basePalestina, ngelixa amaPalestine abulale abantwana abangama-130 bakwa-Israeli. Inani lokufa lilonke ngeli xesha lingaphezulu kwe-9,000 yamaPalestina kunye ne-1,190 yamaSirayeli. I-Israel iphule ubuncinci izigqibo ezingamashumi asixhenxe anesixhenxe ze-UN kunye nezibonelelo ezininzi zeNgqungquthela yesine yaseGeneva. I-Israel inyanzelise amakhulukhulu eendawo zokuhlala kwi-West Bank, ngelixa abantu basePalestine ngaphakathi kwa-Israel besiya becinezelwa kwaye beqhubeka nokufuduswa ngaphakathi. U-Israel udilize phantse amashumi amathathu amawaka amakhaya amaPalestine njengomgaqo-nkqubo. Abantu basePalestine badilizile amakhaya akwa-Israel. Kungoku nje bangaphezulu kwamawaka amathandathu amaPalestine agqugqisayo kwiintolongo zakwaSirayeli, kuquka nabantwana; Akukho Sirayeli uhlala kwintolongo yasePalestina. "

USalaita ufuna umhlaba wasePalestine ubuyiselwe kubantu basePalestine, kanye njengoko efuna ubuncinci umhlaba woMthonyama waseMelika ubuyiselwe kumaIndiya aseMelika. Ezo mfuno, kwanaxa ziyinto nje yokuthotyelwa kwemithetho nezivumelwano ezikhoyo, zibonakala zingekho ngqiqweni okanye ziyimpindezelo kubafundi abathile. Kodwa oko abantu bacinga ukuba imfundo ibandakanya ukuba akukho ukuqwalaselwa kweengcamango ezibonakala zingenangqiqo ekuqaleni zingaphaya kwam. Kwaye uluvo lokuba ukubuyisela umhlaba obiweyo kufuneka kubandakanye ubundlobongela yingcinga eyongezwa kwisiphakamiso ngumfundi.

Nangona kunjalo, kukho ubuncinci indawo enye apho iSalaita ivuma ngokucacileyo kwaye ngokuphandle ubundlobongela, kwaye ngumkhosi wase-United States. USalaita ubhale ikholamu egxeka ipropaganda "yokuxhasa imikhosi", apho wathi, "Mna nomfazi wam sihlala sixoxa ngento unyana wethu anokuthi akhule ayenze. Ummandla ongaguqukiyo wokungavisisani lukhetho lwakhe lomsebenzi. Unokucinga ngezinto ezimbalwa ezimbi kunaye ngenye imini engena emkhosini (nakwesiphi na isikhundla), ngelixa ndingasichasanga eso sigqibo. "

Khawucinge ngaloo nto. Nanku umntu owenza iingxoxo zokuziphatha ngokuchasa ubundlobongela ePalestina, kunye nencwadi ekhuselayo ngokubaluleka kwesi sikhundla ukodlula iinkxalabo zokuthuthuzela okanye imbeko. Kwaye akanakuchasa kakhulu ukuba unyana wakhe ajoyine umkhosi wase-United States. Kwenye indawo kule ncwadi, uphawula ukuba izifundiswa zase-US “zinokuhamba, zithi, kwiYunivesithi yaseTel Aviv kwaye zinxulumane nabantu abanobuhlanga kunye nabaphuli mthetho bemfazwe.” Khawucinge ngaloo nto. Esi sisifundiswa saseMelika esibhala oku ngelixa uDavid Petraeus, uJohn Yoo, uCondoleezza Rice, uHarold Koh, kunye nenqwaba yabanye ootsotsi bemfazwe befundisa kwiziko lemfundo yase-US, kwaye ngaphandle kwempikiswano enkulu malunga nokuba uSalaita wayengenakukuphepha ukuva. Ukuphendula kumsindo wokugxeka kwakhe "ukuxhasa imikhosi," umqeshi wakhe ngelo xesha, uVirginia Tech, wavakalisa ngokuvakalayo inkxaso yakhe kumkhosi wase-US.

Umkhosi wase-US usebenza ngenkolelo, njengoko ifunyenwe kumagama okusebenza kwayo kunye nezixhobo kunye nakwiingxoxo zawo ezandisiweyo, ukuba umhlaba "ngummandla wamaNdiya," kwaye ubomi bomthonyama abunamsebenzi. Unjingalwazi waseWest Point ecetywayo kutshanje kujongwe abagxeki bomkhosi wase-US ngokufa, hayi nje ukwaliwa ukuba ngumphathi. Yaye kutheni ukugxeka okunjalo kuyingozi? Kuba akukho nto isenziwa ngumkhosi wase-US kubantu base-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, ePakistan, eYemen, eSomalia, eSyria, okanye naphina enye indawo ekhuseleke ngakumbi kunento eyenziwa ngumkhosi wase-Israel ngoncedo lwawo-kwaye andicingi ukuba kuya kuthatha ingqalelo kakhulu. ye i nyaniso ukuba umntu ofana noSteven Salaita aqonde oko.
