NguKaren Rodman, Spring, Februwari 22, i-2021

NgoFebhuwari 5 iNkantolo Yamazwe Ngamazwe (I-ICC) inqume ukuthi inegunya phezu kwamacala empi enziwa yi-Israel ePalestine. UNdunankulu wakwa-Israel uBenjamin Netanyahu ixoshiwe “ubugebengu bempi mbumbulu,” obubizwa ngokuthi isinqumo esinezisusa zezombangazwe kanye “nobuzwe obuhlanzekile,” futhi wafunga ukuthi uzolwa nakho. Izikhulu zakwa-Israel zikuphikile ukuthi noma yibaphi abantu bazo bezempi noma bezepolitiki abazoba sengozini, kodwa ngonyaka owedlule Haaretz ibike ukuthi "u-Israel ulungise uhlu oluyimfihlo lwabathatha izinqumo kanye nezikhulu eziphezulu zezempi nezokuphepha ezingase ziboshwe phesheya uma i-ICC igunyaze uphenyo yinkantolo yamazwe ngamazwe."

Akuzona nje kuphela izenzo zamasosha akwa-Israyeli ezaziwa njengezingekho emthethweni, kepha nokuqashwa kwabo futhi.

Ukuqashwa kwamasosha akwa-Israyeli okungekho emthethweni eCanada

As Kevin Keystone ebhalele i-Jewish Independent ngesonto eledlule wathi: “Ngaphansi koMthetho WaseCanada Wokubhaliswa Kwamanye Amazwe, akukho emthethweni ukuba amasosha angaphandle abuthe abantu baseCanada eCanada. Ngo-2017, okungenani abantu baseCanada abangama-230 bebesebenza ku-IDF, ngokwezibalo zamasosha.” Lo mkhuba ongekho emthethweni uhlehlela emuva eminyakeni engaphezu kwamashumi ayisikhombisa, ekusungulweni kuka-Israyeli. Njengoba Yves Engler kubikwe kuyi-Electronic Intifada ngo-2014, “indlalifa yenkampani yezingubo zabesilisa i-Tip Top Tailors, u-Ben Dunkelman, wayengumqashi oyinhloko ka-Haganah eCanada. Wathi yena'mayelana ne-1,000' AbaseCanada 'balwela ukumisa u-Israyeli.' Ngesikhathi seNakba, ibutho elincane lezindiza lakwa-Israyeli lalicishe libe angaphandle, okungenani Abantu baseCanada abangama-53, kuhlanganise nabangemaJuda abangu-15, babhaliswa.”

Ezikhathini ezimbalwa zamuva nje inxusa lakwa-Israel e-Toronto likhangise ngokuthi linommeleli we-Israel Defence Forces (IDF) otholakalayo ukuze aqokwe umuntu siqu kulabo abafisa ukujoyina i-IDF. NgoNovemba 2019, i- Ihhovisi lenxusa lase-Israeli eToronto umemezele, “omele i-IDF uzoqhuba izingxoxo zomuntu siqu e-Consulate ngoNovemba 11-14. Intsha efisa ukubhalisa ku-IDF noma noma ngubani ongakafeza izibopho zayo ngokoMthetho Wenkonzo Yezokuvikela Yakwa-Israeli iyamenywa ukuba ihlangane naye.” Engakuvimbi lokhu kuqashwa kobugebengu noma izenzo ezingekho emthethweni zebutho lakwa-Israyeli, owayeyiNxusa laseCanada kwa-Israyeli, Deborah Lyons, ibambe umcimbi owamenyezelwa kabanzi ngoJanuwari 16, 2020 eTel Aviv wokuhlonipha abantu baseCanada abasebenza ebuthweni lezempi lakwa-Israel. Lokhu ngemuva kokuthi abadubuli be-IDF bedubule okungenani abantu ababili baseCanada eminyakeni yamuva, kuhlanganisa udokotela uTarek Loubani e 2018.

Ngo-Okthoba 19, 2020 a Incwadi esayinwe nguNoam Chomsky, uRoger Waters, owayeyiLungu lePhalamende uJim Manly, umenzi wefilimu uKen Loach kanye nembongi u-El Jones, umbhali uYann Martel kanye nabantu baseCanada abangaphezu kuka-170, bahanjiswe kuNgqongqoshe Wezobulungiswa uDavid Lametti. Icele ukuthi "kwenziwe uphenyo olunzulu ngalabo abenze lokhu kuqashwa kwamasosha akwa-Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), futhi uma kufanele ukuthi kubekwe amacala kubo bonke abathintekayo ekubuthweni nasekugqugquzeleni ukubuthela i-IDF eCanada." Ngosuku olulandelayo Kuphendula uLametti embuzweni wentatheli yakwaLe Devoir, uMarie Vastel, othe kusezandleni zamaphoyisa ukuthi aphenye ngalolu daba. Ngakho ngoNovemba 3, ummeli uJohn Philpot unikeze ubufakazi ngqo kwi-RCMP, ophendule ngokuthi udaba lusaphenywa.

NgoJanuwari 3,2021 ubufakazi obusha banikezwa uRob O'Reilly, isikhulu sabasebenzi ehhovisi likaKhomishana we-RCMP, mayelana nokuqashwa kwamasosha akwa-Israeli ngokungemthetho eCanada. U-O'Reilly uphinde wathola izincwadi ezingaphezu kuka-850 ezivela kubantu abakhathazekile mayelana nokuqashwa kwamasosha akwa-Israel.

Ubufakazi obunikezwe i-RCMP bubonise ukuqashwa okusebenzayo ezinhlanganweni zomphakathi e-Canada ezifana ne-UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, ebambe inkundla yokubuthela i-webinar ye-Israel Defence Forces ngoJuni 4, 2020. Ngokulandelayo ukuthunyelwa kususiwe.

Cela uhulumeni waseCanada ukuthi ayeke ukubuthwa kwamasosha akwa-Israel ngokungemthetho

Kuyilapho Devoir kuhlinzekwe ngekhasi eliphambili kanye neminye imithombo eminingi yase-French Canadian emboze le ndaba, i-English Canadian media media ithule. Njengoba Davide Mastracci wabhala ngesonto eledlule kuPassage, "sinendaba abantu baseCanada abangaba nentshisekelo kuyo futhi ngesihloko abezindaba abasikhathalele esikhathini esidlule, sitshelwa yiqembu elithembekile, elinobufakazi bokusekela lokho, ukuthi ukuthatha ngokungathi sína ngokwanele ukuphenya. Nokho, akukho lutho oluvela emshinini ovamile wolimi lwesiNgisi eCanada.”

Kule mpelasonto iNxusa laseCanada ku-UN uBob Rae ubekhona uqokwe njengephini likasihlalo we-ICC-futhi noma iCanada ishilo ukuthi ayisekeli amandla e-ICC maqondana nobugebengu bempi bakwa-Israel obenziwa ePalestine. Njengoba i Ungqongqoshe Wezangaphandle yaphendula ngokuhlazisayo ngoFebhuwari 7, “kuze kube yilapho izingxoxo ezinjalo [zesixazululo semibuso emibili] ziphumelela, isimo saseCanada esinesikhathi eside sihlala siwukuthi aliliqapheli izwe lasePalestine ngakho-ke alikuqapheli ukungena kwalo ezivumelwaneni zamazwe ngamazwe, kuhlanganise neSifanekiso SaseRome Somhlaba Wonke. Inkantolo Yamacala."

UMario Beaulieu, ilungu lePhalamende leBloc Québécois uLa Pointe-de-l'Île ukhanseliwe ngomzuzu wokugcina ngenxa yenkinga yokuhlela. Njengoba uRuba Ghazal ebonisile, uNgqongqoshe Wezobulungiswa uLametti kufanele aqhubeke nophenyo futhi athathe isinyathelo, angahlehli ku-RCMP.
