Izibhedlele kufuneka zibe ziindawo zonyango, hayi iithiyetha zemfazwe.

Kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo eChicago, into endiyithandayo kwimisebenzi yabafundi abangesosigxina yayisebenzisa “indlela yakudala” yokutshintsha ifowuni kwisibhedlele esibizwa ngokuba yiForkosh Memorial. Ikhoyili yeekhoyili kunye neeplagi zibandakanya isipili ukuze abaqhubi bakwazi ukugcina iliso kumnyango wesibhedlele, owawuthi ngeempelaveki nangeengokuhlwa ubekw' esweni ngumntu osekhulile, unogada ongaxhobanga ogama linguFrank. Wahlala kwidesika yesimbo segumbi lokufundela kufutshane nesango lokungena nencwadi yeleja. Ebudeni beminyaka emine, ngeempelaveki nangeengokuhlwa, “ukhuseleko” esibhedlele ngokuqhelekileyo lwaluquka mna noFrank kuphela. Ngethamsanqa, akukho nto ingako yenzekayo. Ithuba lohlaselo, uhlaselo okanye ugqogqo aluzange lwenzeke kuthi. Ingcinga yokuqhushumba kwebhombu yasemoyeni yayingenakucingelwa, njengento ephuma “kwiMfazwe yeHlabathi” okanye enye ingcamango ye-sci-fi.

Ngoku, ngelishwa, izibhedlele zaseGaza kunye ne-West Bank zihlaselwe, zahlaselwa, zaqhushumba kwaye zatshatyalaliswa. Iindaba zohlaselo olongezelelweyo lwakwa-Israel zixelwa yonke imihla. Kwiveki ephelile, INdemokhrasi ngoku! kwaxoxwa UGqr. Yasser Khan, i-ophthalmologist yaseKhanada kunye nogqirha wamehlo osanda kubuya kwimishini yokuhlinzwa yokunceda abantu kwisibhedlele saseYurophu eKhan Yunis eGaza. UGqr. Khan wathetha ngeziqhushumbisi ezenzeka rhoqo emva kweyure ezimbalwa ezikhokelela kukwanda kwabantu abaninzi abangxwelerhekileyo. Uninzi lwezigulane awayezinyanga zazingabantwana ukusuka kwi-2 ukuya kwi-17 ubudala. Wabona ukulimala kwamehlo okoyikekayo, ubuso obuqhekekileyo, izilonda ze-shrapnel, ukulimala kwesisu, imilenze enqunyulwe ngaphezu kwethambo, kunye neentlungu ezibangelwa yi-drone eqhutywe imijukujelwa ye-laser. Ngelixa lokuxinana kunye nesiphithiphithi, abasebenzi bezempilo bebejonge izigulana ngelixa bengenazo izixhobo ezisisiseko, kubandakanya ne-anesthesia. Izigulane zilele phantsi phantsi kweemeko ezingcolileyo, zisengozini yosulelo kunye nezifo. Inkoliso yabo nayo yathwaxwa yindlala.

Ngokwesiqhelo, umntwana onqunyulwe ilungu lomzimba ujongana notyando olongezelelweyo ukuya kutsho kwishumi elinesibini. UKhan wayezibuza ukuba ngubani oza kwenza olu landelelo kwaba bantwana, abanye babo abangenazo izalamane ezisaphila?

Ukwaqaphele ukuba umlilo we-sniper uthintele oogqirha ukuba baye emsebenzini. “Babulele abasebenzi bezempilo, abongikazi, aboncedo lokuqala; iiambulensi ziye zaqhunyiswa. Konke oku bekucwangcisiwe,” ucacise watsho uKhan. “Ngoku kukho i-10,000 ukuya kwi-15,000 imizimba ebolayo. Lixesha lemvula ngoku eGaza ngoko ke onke amanzi emvula axubana nemizimba ebolayo kwaye iintsholongwane zixubana namanzi okusela kwaye ufumana esinye isifo. ”

NgokukaKhan, imikhosi yakwa-Israeli ithimbe oogqirha abangamashumi amane ukuya kwamashumi amane anesihlanu, ijolise ngokukodwa kwiingcali kunye nabalawuli bezibhedlele. Imibutho emithathu yokhathalelo lwempilo zikhuphe Ingxelo ebonisa inkxalabo enzulu yokuba umkhosi wamaSirayeli ubambe kwaye wavalela ngokungekho mthethweni uGqr Khaled al-Serr, ugqirha wotyando kwiSibhedlele saseNasser eGaza.

NgoFebruwari 19, uMlawuli-Jikelele we-WHO uDkt Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ichazwe iimeko kwisibhedlele saseNasser emva kokuba u-Israyeli eyalele ukuba abantu basePalestine baphume kwindawo enzima. “Kusekho ngaphezulu kwe-180 yezigulana kunye noogqirha abali-15 kunye nabongikazi ngaphakathi eNasser,” utshilo. “Esi sibhedlele sisanengxaki yokunqongophala kokutya, izixhobo zonyango kunye neoksijini. Akukho manzi etephu nombane, ngaphandle kwejenereyitha egcina oomatshini bokusindisa ubomi.”

Kwiminyaka esibhozo eyadlulayo, ngo-Oktobha ka-2015, umkhosi wase-United States kutshatyalaliswa Isibhedlele sase-Afghanistan sase-Kunduz, esiqhutywa yi-Médecins sans Frontières (OoGqirha Ngaphandle kwemida). Ngaphezulu kweyure, inqwelomoya ye-C-130 iphinde yadubula izixhobo zomlilo kwigumbi likaxakeka esibhedlele kunye necandelo lokhathalelo olunzulu, lokubulala 42 abantu. Abantu abangamashumi amathathu anesixhenxe abongezelelweyo benzakele. “Izigulana zethu zitshile kwiibhedi zazo,” ifunde njalo i-MSF's ingxelo enzulu. “Abasebenzi bethu bezonyango banqunyulwe iintloko okanye baphulukana nemilenze. Abanye badutyulwa emoyeni ngoxa babebaleka eso sakhiwo sasisitsha.”

Uhlaselo loyikekayo lwabacaphukisa abachasi bemfazwe kunye namaqela amalungelo oluntu. Ndikhumbula ndijoyina iqela labaphembeleli kwi-NY engasentla ababehlanganisene ngaphandle kwegumbi likaxakeka esibhedlele kunye nebhena eyayibhengeza "Ukubhobhoza le ndawo kuya kuba lulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe."

Ngowama-2009, kwinqanaba elincinane, kodwa elisoyikekayo, ndabona uhlaselo lwamaSirayeli eGaza olubizwa ngokuba “yiOperation Cast Lead.” Kwigumbi likaxakeka kwisibhedlele sase-Al Shifa, uGqr. Saeed Abuhassan, ugqirha wamathambo, ichazwe amava afana nakaKhan. Lo gqirha wotyando wakhulela eChicago, kufutshane kakhulu kwindawo endandihlala kuyo. Ndambuza ukuba ufuna ndixelele abamelwane bethu ekhaya. Wadwelisa uluhlu lwezinto ezothusayo emva koko wayeka. “Hayi,” watsho. "Okokuqala, kufuneka ubaxelele ukuba imali yabarhafi baseMelika ihlawule zonke ezi zixhobo."

Imali yomrhafi yondla uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwePentagon oludumbileyo, oludumbileyo. USenators, kwiveki ephelileyo, ndoyika yi-AIPAC, yagqiba ekubeni ithumele uSirayeli i-14.1 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ezongezelelweyo ukwandisa inkcitho emkhosini. Kuphela iiSenenja ezintathu kuvotelwe ngokuchasene ityala.

Ukusuka ePalestina, Huwaida Arraf, igqwetha lamalungelo abantu lasePalestina neMerika, labhala kuX: “Inxalenye eyoyikisayo asikokuba uSirayeli uceba ukufuduswa kwabemi basePalestina ngenkani engababulalanga, kodwa kukuba oko kufane kubizwe ngokuba ‘lihlabathi elichubekileyo’ liyamvumela ukuba afuduselwe ePalestina. kwenzeke. Imiphumo yobu bubi bulungelelanisiweyo iya kukhathaza abo basebenzisana nabo kwizizukulwana ezizayo.”

Kwisibhedlele sase-Forkosh kwiminyaka yee-1970, ndandinesibuko ukuze ndibone oko kwenzekayo emva kwam, kodwa wonke umntu osemhlabeni unokubona, ngokuthe ngqo, ukoyikeka kwenkxaso ye-US kwisiganeko sokubulala abantu okwenzeka kumlindo wethu. Ngokukrakra iinguqulelo ezigqwethekileyo oko kwenzeka ngo-Oktobha 7^th, ayikwazi - nokuba kukholelwa - ukuthethelela ubungakanani bezinto ezoyikisayo ezichazwe eGaza naseWest Bank yonke imihla.

Urhulumente wase-US uyaqhubeka ngentshiseko ekubhangiseni intshabalalo yeGaza yakwaSirayeli. abacebisi US yenza iinzame ezibuthathaka ukucebisa ukuba uSirayeli makanqumame okanye azame ukuchaneka ngakumbi kuhlaselo lwakhe. Kwiphulo layo lokufuna ukongama kwe-hegemonic, i-United States ikrazula ibe yincinci naliphi na intsalela yokuzinikela kumalungelo oluntu, ukulingana kunye nesidima somntu.

Into eyayigcina isibhedlele saseForkosh sikhuselekile, kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo, yayiyisivumelwano sentlalontle esasicinga ukuba sikhuselekile kwisibhedlele esincinci esinceda abantu basekhaya.

Ukuba asikwazi ukufumana isimilo sokuyeka ukubonelela ngezixhobo zohlaselo oluqhubekayo lwe-Israel ngokuchasene neGaza kunye neendawo zayo zonyango, sinokufumanisa ukuba sidale ihlabathi apho kungekho mntu unokuthembela ekuxhaseni amalungelo oluntu asisiseko. Sisenokuba sidala amanxeba entiyo nosizi kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana ekungasayi kuze kubekho ndawo ikhuselekileyo yokuphola.
