By UDavid Swanson, Matshi 21, 2018.
Ingxoxo yeLwesibini kwaye ivote kwiSeneti yase-United States malunga nokuba iphela (ngokobuchwepheshe nokuba ingavotelwa ukuba ingaba iphela) ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US kwimfazwe yaseYemen ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kufakwa njengenyathelo elingaphambili. Ngethuba i-55 US Senators bavotelwe ukugcina imfazwe ihamba, 44 bavotelwe ukuba ungayifaki isisombululo sokuyivala. Kule 44, abanye, kuquka "iinkokheli" njengeSenator Chuck Schumer, akuthethi igama kwi-mpikiswano kwaye bavota kuphela indlela elungileyo xa indlela ephosakeleyo iphumelele. Kwaye abanye bacinga ukuba bavotela ngokuvota, apho babeya kuvota ngenxa yemfazwe emininzi. Kodwa kukhuselekile ukuthetha ukuba ubuncinci be-44 bavota ukuphelisa imfazwe-kwaye abaninzi babo bathetha ngokucacileyo oko.
Ndiyisebenzisa ibinzana elithi "phelisa imfazwe," nangona i-Saudi Arabia ingaqhubeka nayo imfazwe ngaphandle kokuthatha inxaxheba kwe-US-inxalenye, kuba kulula, kwaye inxalenye yokuba iingcali zicebise ukuba i-Saudi Arabia ayikwazi ukwenza nantoni na into eyenziwa ngaphandle kokuthatha inxaxheba kwimikhosi yaseMelika ekuboniseni iithagethi kunye neenqwelo zokupasa. Ngokuqinisekileyo kunjalo kunjalo ukuba i-United States yayihamba ngaphaya kwezinto ezicatshangelwe ngoLwesibili kwaye iphelile ukunika i-Saudi Arabia ngeeplani kunye neebhomu, kwaye isebenzise impembelelo yayo njengomthengi weoli kunye nomlingani jikelele wokulwa ne-Saudi Arabia ukuphelisa imfazwe kwaye uphakamise isithintelo, imfazwe inokuphela ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye izigidi zabantu ubomi zingasindiswa.
I-Virginia Senator uTim Kaine uye waba ngumkhokeli onokubangela ukuba iCongress igunyaze iimfazwe, ibonise ngokucacileyo ukuba wayefuna ukugcina ezo mpi zihamba kodwa ngokugunyazwa kweCongress. Eli xesha lihlukile. UCaine uphonsela esidlangalaleni iivoti zokuphelisa ukubandakanyeka kwe-US kwimfazwe yaseYemen. Yena kunye naye osebenza naye waseVirginia Mark Warner (!) Bavotele ukuphelisa imfazwe yase-US. Andiqinisekanga ukuba nayiphi na i-senator evela eVirginia engakaze enze into enjalo ngaphambili. Kwaye, eneneni, akukho senene ukusuka naphi na apho evotelwe kwisigqibo esaphakanyiswa phantsi koMthetho woMkhosi weMfazwe ngaphambili, kuba bekuyixesha lokuqala nayiphi na inkokheli eyayikhathazeka ukuzama into enjalo. Kaine tweeted:
"Izigidi zabantu baseYemen zikwazi ukulambela indlala kunye ne-10,000-plus zifile ngenxa yemfazwe engapheliyo, ukuba i-US ikhubekile. Iqhayiya ukuxhasa isi siphakamiso sokuhambisa ukususwa kweemikhosi zase-US. "
"Ugxininiswe"? Ulibale, ujikeleza.
Kwaye uKaine wayengumncinane. Ukubukela uDianne Feinstein ukuphikisana nokuphelisa imfazwe Indawo yeTwilight umba kuyo. Jonga ngelo uluhlu ngubani ovote "Hayi" kwaye uchaza kwakhona engqondweni yakho njengabantu abaphantsi kweemeko ezifanelekileyo (mhlawumbi kuquka ukungaphumeleli okuqinisekileyo ukufikelela kuninzi) ngamanye amaxesha bayavota ukuphelisa imfazwe. Ndiya kubiza ukuba inkqubela phambili.
Kodwa ukuba ubukela impikiswano ngokuhamba C-Span, umbuzo ophezulu engqondweni yakho kungenzeka ukuba awuyi kuba "yintoni i-activism engabonakaliyo, ulwazi, ingozi, okanye inhlanhla yafumana abantu be-44 ukuvota indlela efanelekileyo?" kodwa ke "Kutheni i-55 ijabulise, isondlo esipheleleyo, ukubulala abantu abaninzi? "Kutheni? Kutheni bathatha ikhefu kwiintlanganiso zeqela lezopolitiko phakathi kwempikiswano, kwaye baphikisane neminye imithetho ngaphambi nangemva kwesi sigqibo, kwaye bahamba baxoxe nabanye ngokungathi baqhelekileyo, ngelixa bavotela i-genocide?
Amaqiniso alo mbandela aboniswe ngokucacileyo kwingxoxo-mpikiswano ngabameli abaninzi base-US abavela kumabini omabini. Batsholwa ubuxoki bemfazwe ngokuthi "ubuxoki." Bachaza umonakalo omkhulu, ukufa, ukulimala, indlala, i-k'hola. Bachaza ngokusetyenziswa ngokucacileyo nokuzikhethela kwe-Saudi Arabia njengendoda. Bayiqaphele ukukhutshwa kwinqanaba lokuncediswa yi-Saudi Arabia. Baye baxoxa ngokugqithiseleyo enkulu yindlala yesifo sekholera esaziwayo. Nantsi i-Twitter evela kuSenator Chris Murphy:
"Hlanganisa ukhangele ixesha leSenethi namhlanje: siya kuvota malunga nokuba siqhubela phambili umkhankaso we-bombongela wase-US / wase-Saudi e-Yemen oye wabulala abantu base 10,000 kwaye wadala i-korola enkulu ekugqibeleni kwimbali."
I-Senator uJeff Merkley ubuze ukuba ukusebenzisana noorhulumente uzama ukulamba izigidi zabantu ukuba babulawe ngesineke kunye nemigaqo ye-United States yaseMelika. Ndaphendula ngempendulo: "Ngaba ndimele ndimxelele okanye ndilinde kwaye avumele oogxa bakhe benze oko?" Ekugqibeleni, i-55 yabalingane bakhe baphendule umbuzo wakhe kunye nayiphi na incwadi yomlando eyayiyenzile.
Ukunyeliswa kweengxabano zokuqhubela imfazwe kwabizwa ngabaphathi benkundla phantsi. I-Senator Mitch McConnell nabanye babenze ibango likaNobhala weMfazwe ("Ukhuselo") uJames Mattis, ophelisa ukubandakanyeka kwe-US ekuhlaseleni abantu baseYemen kuya kuthetha ukuba Kaninzi ukufa kwabantu baseYemen, kungekudala. Abanye bawagxotha ibango elenziwe ngabameli beTrump, ummeli ka-Obama uHarold Koh, ukuba ukuqhubhisa isizwe esicatyambo akuyiyo "imfazwe" okanye "inzondo" ukuba amabutho ase-US ayengekho ehlabathini.
I-Senator Bernie Sanders yabeka ukumisa loo nto. Wancoma ukuzama ukuxelela abantu baseYemen ukuba bombombele amabhomu ase-US kunye nokujoliswa kwe-US kunye neenqwelo zase-US ezixutywe yi-United States.
Ingcamango yokuba iSeneti epheleleyo kufuneka ihambe kwikomidi into yokuba ikomiti ayizange ilukhuphe ukuthinteka kwiminyaka nayo yahleka ngokufanelekileyo enkundleni.
USenator uMike Lee waqinisekisa abo basebenzisana naye ukuba ukuphelisa imfazwe yase-US eYemen ngenxa yezizathu zokungabi mthethweni kungekuze kutyeshe okanye kumise ezinye iimfazwe ezingekho mthethweni zase-US. (Ndiqinisekile ukuba ukhululekile ukuva oko!)
Kwimali-mboleko yabo, iiSenators Murphy no-Lee no-Sanders babecacile ukuba ivoti etafileni, kunokuba bavote ngokuzenzekelayo, isisombululo sabo sokuphelisa imfazwe, kuya kuvota ukuba bangabi neengxoxo kunye nokungathobeli uMthetho-siseko we-US. Kwaye kwintengo yabo enkulu yemboleko, baqhubela phambili kwaye babe neengxoxo ezihambelanayo ngaphambi kokuvota ukutalela. Kwixesha elidlulileyo ubuncinane kweso siganeko samaxesha amaninzi esiye sabona izigqibo ezinjalo ezaziswa phambili kwiNdlu, abaxhasi bemfazwe bathetha inkunkuma ngelixa abachasene bathetha inqubo kuphela. Olu tshintsho, kwakhona, lwaluqhubela phambili.
Ngoko, kutheni? Kutheni i-Senate yavotela uhlanga? Kwaye kutheni kungekho mntu uyamangalisa?
Ewe, iingxabano ezenziwe ngabaseSenator ngakwesokudla kwendibano ngokuqinisekileyo zashiya into efunwayo. USanders uthetha ngabafileyo kwiimfazwe eVietnam nase-Iraq, kwaye bonke babengamaMerika. Uthe imfazwe yaseVietnam yaphantse itshabalalise isizukulwana sonke saseMelika. Le yimfazwe yabulala abantu abayizigidi ezili-6 eVietnam, eLaos, naseCambodia, kunye ne-50,000 evela e-United States. Abantu bangaya njani bacinge malunga nabaxheli bamacala xa senza ngathi abakho?
I-Senator Tom Udall yathi ukususela kwi-WWII kude kube ngumbongameli kaDonald Trump eUnited States yayingumntu ohloniphekileyo, ogcina umthetho, ongenamdla wokusabalalisa intando yesininzi, nangona ingekho ngokupheleleyo. Xa besithi, u-Udall unikeza iTrump uhlobo lwamandla omlingo, kunye nokubhala kwakhona imbali yase-US. Abantu base-US bavunyelwe ukuba bangavoteli ngoLwesibili. Kwakungekho iTump.
Isisombululo ngokwayo sasinganiselwe, sichithwa ngamatye, kwaye sasingenakuhlanjululwa ngokwenene ngabantu abaninzi abavotayo ngokuchasa. Mhlawumbi isisombululo esinamandla sisenokungaphumeleli nakakhulu. Okanye mhlawumbi iimeko ezingqinelanayo imfazwe yayiza kubakhohlisa. Mna dunno. Kodwa isicatshulwa sokuba kufuneka ugxininise kwaye uncedise ulawulo lokunyanzelisa u-Saudi xa ubizwa ngokuba yi-ISIS kwaye kungekhona xa kubizwa ngokuba yi-anti-Houthi ibonakala yimeko enzima kunokuba kufuneka uyeke ukumbamba kunye nokuncedisa ekubulaweni kwabantu izidalwa, ukuvelisa iintshaba ezininzi, ukuphazamisa uluntu, ukuchitha imali kwiimfuno zabantu, ukulimaza imo, ukuphazamisa umgaqo wecala, ukuphazamisa umongameli, ukuhlaselwa kweenkcubeko kunye nezikolo kunye namapolisa, kunye nokulungelelanisa urhulumente wakho ngobukumkani obunenkohlakalo.
Mhlawumbi leyo yimeko ekufuneka yenziwe ebantwini kuqala kwaye emva kwabaphathi bee senator, kodwa abaninzi abanama-senators bacacisa indlela ababecinga ngayo. U-Lee wayengekho ekuleni ukuzama ukuqinisekisa malunga nokulungiselelwa kweziganeko. Omnye wabo wayekhathazekile ngokucacileyo ukuba ukuba i-refueling bombers eyayifaka amakhaya abantu kwelinye ilizwe yayibalwe "njengeentlanzi," emva koko iindawo zokuqhuma izibhamu ezazityhutyha amakhaya abantu kwiphina ihlabathi lingabalelwa "njengeentlanga." ihlabathi lingaba nalo ?!
Ngoko, ivoti ngokulwa nemfazwe enye ayifuni nje ukuvota imfazwe enye. Ivoti yokucela umngeni, ukuba ngaba yinto encinci, amandla omkhosi wemfazwe. La maSenere imali ukuba ungenzi oko.
Nolu uluhlu lwabaSebenzi kunye neengxowa zabo ze-2018 (ndixolele, umnikelo wempikiswano) kubathengi bokufa (xolela, iinkampani zokhuselo). Ndibonise indlela abavotayo ngayo ukubeka isisombululo sesibini nge-Y okanye i-N. Ivoti ye-pro-war is Y:

Kuyacaca ukuba umntu makajonge amavoti amaninzi kunye nezinye izenzo, kunye neengxowa ezivela kwiminyaka edlulileyo, kunye neendleko ezinxulumene nokusebenza kwimeko nganye, njl., Kodwa sibona apha i-51 ye-55 yeevoti ezifumana inzuzo yezixhobo, kwaye ininzi sondeza phezulu okanye phakathi kweliluhlu. Kwaye sibona i-42 ye-44 akukho ivoti efumana izixhobo zokufumana izixhobo, kwaye uninzi lwabo lusezantsi okanye oluphantsi kwesi sahlu. Kwabaxhamli be-70 abaphezulu, i-43 ivote ewe. Kwabaxhamli be-20 abaphantsi, i-14 ivotelwe akukho.
Into ebalulekileyo ibonakala ngathi yiqela lezopolitiko, kuba i-45 ye-55 yevoti i-Republican (kunye ne-10 Democrats), kunye ne-37 ye-44 ayikho ivoti yiDemocratic (kunye ne-2 Independents kunye ne-5 Republican). Kodwa le nto ayinakuhlukana nokuxhaswa ngemali, njengoko amanani angentla angaphantsi imali e ngeniswe kwaye ihanjiswe kubaviwa ngabachaphazelekayo, kunye "nokhuselo" abaxhamli abanika iqela leRiphablikhi imali eyi-1.2 yezigidi, kunye neDemocratic Party eyi-0.82 yezigidi. Omnye unokuqiniseka ukuba akukho "nkokheli" yecala "wabuza" amalungu akhe ukuba avote ukuphelisa imfazwe eYemen. Ngokubanzi, ubuholi benkampani yeRiphabhlikhi bomeleze ivoti yokuqhubeka nokubulawa kobuhlanga. Ukuba sijonge i-party kunye nemali edibeneyo, sibona ukuba onke amaRiphabhuliki avotayo angabonakali phantsi kwoluhlu, ngelixa ukufaneleka kwezifosholo akucaci nakwi-Democrats evotiwe ewe. Kodwa akukho ivoti njengenxalenye yesininzi-into enjalo eyenzekayo-bekungeke kwenzeke ukuba yinto enomdla.
Emva koko kukho ingxaki yemidiya. I-MSNBC yeDemocratic Party-yokukhuthaza cwaka, ngoxa i-NPR yaxelela abaphulaphuli ukuba ihlwempuzekileyo i-Saudi Arabia ijikelezwe kwaye ihlaselwa yiDemon idemoni. I ENew York Times Ibhodi yokuhlela yenza ngcono kunabapheli beendaba. Kodwa ukuba nayiphi inxaxheba ye-US indima e-Yemen yenzele kumabonwakude, ngoko ndiza kubafumana abantu xa ndihamba ngeenxa zonke eUnited States eyazi ukuba kukho imfazwe eYemen. Njengoko kunjalo, ndinokufumana abantu abambalwa abanokuthiwa yiliphi na iimfazwe zase-US zamanje. Ukuba uSenin Sanders wayechasene nale mpi xa eqhuba umongameli, endaweni yokukhuthaza i-Saudi Arabia ukuba ichithe ngaphezulu kwaye ifumane izandla zayo ezihlambulukile ngegazi, i-progressives yayiyivile loo nto-kwaye ndiza kumxhasa uSanders kumongameli.
Okanye kuthekani ukuba I-Amnesty International, iLungelo lamaLungelo eMalungelo, I-ACLU kunye namanye amaqela abangofuna ukuxhasa amalungelo oluntu aye anceda ukuchasa imfazwe eYemen? Okanye kuthekani ukuba iipundits ziyeke ukubhekisa kumaqela afana namalungelo oluntu kwaye zibabiza, endaweni yoko, amaqela e-Pro-US-War / Human Rights? Ingaba loo nto yayingenza umehluko?
Kuthekani ngathi sonke? Ndisebenzela amaqela amabini azamile: RootsAction.org kunye World Beyond War. Nabanye abaninzi. Uninzi lwenze umanyano olukhulu ukuzama ukuba nefuthe elikhulu. Ngaba sinokwenza ngaphezulu? Kunjalo. Kuthekani ngabantu abangakhange basayine nantoni na, baye nakweyiphi na into, bafowunele okanye bathumele i-imeyile kuyo nayiphi na iSenethi? Kunzima ukuthi nabani na kuthi onezandla ezicocekileyo.
Ndenzeke ukufunda column NgoLwesithathu ucebise ukuba bonke bayeke ukuhlonipha nawuphi na umongameli wangaphambili wase-US owayenabantu njengezigqila. Ndikho konke. Kodwa kukho enye ikholomu ephakanyiswayo njengento ehloniphekileyo nehloniphekileyo ibe yindoda ehlotshisiwe kwaye "yimpumelelo" (eJamani). Oku kundibangela ukuba ndiyeke ukugxeka abanikazi bekhoboka ngokuthi "izilo." Ngokuqinisekileyo ubukhoboka bubuqili kwaye abo benzayo baxanduva lwabo. Izifanekiselo zazo zimele zonke zize zitshintshwe ngabantu abafanelekileyo, kubandakanywa nezobukhoboka-ababhubhisayo kunye nabamkeli bemalungelo oluntu, ngokuzikhumbuza ukukhunjulwa kunokunyuka kwabantu.
Kodwa kuthekani ukuba siza ngenye imini ukuqonda ukuba imfazwe iyinqaba? Ngoko ke kufuneka senze ntoni ngabaxhasayo bemfazwe, kubandakanywa nabakholisi? Kwaye ndiyintoni na ukuba ndiyenze ezintweni ndicinga ukuba iminyaka elishumi okanye emithathu edlulileyo kwaye ngoku andisayi kucinga? Ngaba akukho nto emthunzini ekudumiseni imfazwe ngomhla wokukhumbula ukuhlaselwa kwe-2003 e-Iraq kunye nomzuzu ofanelekileyo weSanate wase-US ukuvota ukubulala abantu baseYemen (abangewona "abamhlophe")? Nangona kunjalo, akunjalo ukuziphatha okufumaneka kwikholam ekuchasene nobuhlanga, ebhaliweyo ngumdlali ongu-anti-racisism umsebenzi wento ngaphandle kwe-monster? Mhlawumbi i-senators ayilona iidemon. Mhlawumbi singabazisa ngoku. Kufuneka sizame.

Amanqaku okugqibela e-4 angaba njani?
Kwaye ngoobani bonke abo badweliswe njengo "abekho kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu?" Uluhlu lungaphezulu kwe-100 ubude. Luvela phi olu luhlu?
Esi sincoko siphinde sandenza ndazingca ngokuba lilungu lalo World Beyond War! Igcina imfazwe isaziwa eluntwini xa bembalwa abanye abayenzayo. Ndiyabulela uDavid ngokuqhubeka esithi "imfazwe yoyikekayo." IXESHA. AKUKHO MANDLA. Xa umntu esithi, "Ingxaki X iyothusa kodwa imfazwe ilungile" kufuneka sijoyine nawe David xa usithi "imfazwe kukubulala kwaye iya kuhlala ingumbulali."
Ndifuna kwakhona ukunibonga uDavide ngokuvuma ubuntu boBONKE bethu apha nakuzo zonke iinkalo zeplanethi yethu ebuthakathaka. Ngaloo mvume ivelisa ithemba elingunaphakade lokuba imfazwe iya kupheliswa njengomsebenzi wabantu!
