Kwakungu-Okthoba 2012. U-Roei Elkabetz, u-brigadier general we-Israel Defence Forces (IDF), wayechaza amasu okusebenza kwamaphoyisa asemngceleni wezwe lakhe. Esethulweni sakhe se-PowerPoint, isithombe sodonga oluvalekile oluhlukanisa iGaza Strip kwa-Israel sichofozwe esikrinini. “Sifunde lukhulu eGaza,” etshela izethameli. “Yilabhorethri enkulu.”
U-Elkabetz ubekhuluma engqungqutheleni yezobuchwepheshe emngceleni futhi ezungezwe umbukiso omangalisayo wobuchwepheshe - izingxenye zelebhu yakhe yokwakha imingcele. Bekunamabhaluni aqaphayo anamakhamera anamandla amakhulu antanta phezu kwemoto yezikhali efihlwe ogwadule eyenziwe ngu-Lockheed Martin. Kwakunezinhlelo zezinzwa zokuzamazama komhlaba ezazisetshenziselwa ukubona ukuhamba kwabantu nezinye izimangaliso zezwe lanamuhla lamaphoyisa asemngceleni. Eduze kwase-Elkabetz, ubungabona izibonelo ezicacile zokuthi ikusasa lamaphoyisa anjalo libhekephi, njengoba kungacatshangwa umlobi wezinganekwane zesayensi ye-dystopian kodwa abanye babasunguli bezobuchwepheshe bezinkampani abaphezulu emhlabeni.
Ebhukuda olwandle oluvikelekile emngceleni, u-brigadier general, nokho, wayengazungezwe iMedithera kodwa indawo eyomile yaseWest Texas. Wayese-El Paso, uhambo lwemizuzu engu-10 ukusuka odongeni oluhlukanisa i-United States neMexico.
Eminye imizuzu embalwa nje ehamba ngezinyawo futhi u-Elkabetz ubengabuka izimoto ze-US Border Patrol ezinemigqa eluhlaza zingena eRio Grande phambi kwe-Ciudad Juarez, elinye lamadolobha amakhulu aseMexico agcwele amafekthri ase-US nabafile ezimpini zezidakamizwa zalelozwe. Abasebenzi beBorder Patrol okungenzeka ukuthi ujenene wababona bebehlonywa ngenhlanganisela ebulalayo yobuchwepheshe bokugada, i-hardware yezempi, izibhamu zokuhlasela, izindiza ezinophephela emhlane nama-drones. Le ndawo eyake yaba nokuthula yayiguqulelwa kulokho uTimothy Dunn, encwadini yakhe I-Militarization yase-US Mexico Border, isho isimo “sempi ephansi kakhulu.”
Ukuqhuma Kwemingcele
NgoNovemba 20, 2014, uMongameli Obama kumemezela uchungechunge lwezenzo eziphezulu mayelana nezinguquko zokuthuthela kwelinye izwe. Ekhuluma nabantu baseMelika, ukhulume nomthetho wokufuduka kwabantu ababili idlulile yiSenethi ngoJuni 2013 lokho, phakathi kokunye, okuzothuthukisa isimo esifanayo kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi - ngolimi olwamukelwe ezindaweni zempi zase-US zakamuva - "ukuqhuma komngcele." UMengameli ukhale ngokuthi lo mthethosivivinywa umisiwe eNdlu yabaMeli, ewuncoma ngokuthi “ukuvumelana” “okubonisa ingqondo.” Uveze ukuthi, "kuzophinda kabili inani lama-ejenti e-Border Patrol, ngenkathi kunikeza abokufika abangabhalisiwe indlela yokuba yisakhamuzi."
Ngemuva kwesimemezelo sakhe, okuhlanganisa nezenzo eziphezulu ezizovikela izigidi ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisithupha zalabo bokufika ekudingisweni esikhathini esizayo, inkulumo-mpikiswano kazwelonke yasheshe yaqanjwa njengengxabano phakathi kwamaRiphabhulikhi namaDemocrats. Ukuphuthelwa kule mpi yamagama yeqembu kwaba yinto eyodwa: isenzo sokuqala sokuphatha u-Obama asimemezela sibandakanya ukuqhutshwa kwezempi komngcele okusekelwa yizo zombili izinhlangothi.
“Okokuqala,” kusho umongameli, “sizokwakhela phezu kwenqubekelaphambili yethu emngceleni ngezinsiza ezengeziwe zabasebenzi bethu bomthetho ukuze banqande ukugeleza kokuwela okungekho emthethweni futhi basheshe ukubuya kwalabo abawelela ngaphesheya.” Ngaphandle kokuchaza kabanzi, wabe esedlulela kwezinye izinto.
Kodwa-ke, uma i-United States ilandela “umqondo ovamile” womthethosivivinywa wokwanda komngcele, umphumela ungase wengeze ngaphezu kwamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-40. kufanelekile ama-ejenti, ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe, izindonga, nezinye izithiyo ezinsizakalweni zokuphoqelela emngceleni ezivele zingenakuqhathaniswa. Futhi isignali ebalulekile izothunyelwa emkhakheni ozimele ukuthi, njengomagazini wezohwebo Ukuphepha Kwezwe Namuhla uyakubeka, omunye "ingcebo” yenzuzo isendleleni eya emakethe yokulawula umngcele kakade, ngokusho kwezibikezelo zakamuva, ku- “inkathi ye-boom engakaze ibonwe. "
NjengeGaza Strip yama-Israyeli, imingcele yase-US, ebizwa ngokuthi "indawo engenamthethosisekelo” yi-ACLU, isiba ilabhorethri evulekile evulekile yezinkampani zobuchwepheshe. Lapho, cishe noma yiluphi uhlobo lokugada kanye “nokuphepha” kungathuthukiswa, kuhlolwe, futhi kukhonjiswe, njengokungathi kusenxanxatheleni yezitolo yezempi, ukuze kucatshangelwe ezinye izizwe emhlabeni wonke. Ngale ndlela, ukuvikeleka emngceleni kuba imboni yomhlaba wonke futhi ezimbalwa izakhiwo zezinkampani ezingajatshuliswa yilokhu kunalena ethuthukiswe kwa-Elkabetz's Israel.
I-Palestine-Mexico Border
Cabanga ngobukhona bukabrigadier general we-IDF e-El Paso eminyakeni emibili edlule njengebika. Phela, ngoFebhruwari 2014, iCustoms and Border Protection (CBP), i-Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ephethe umsebenzi wamaphoyisa emingceleni yethu, yenza inkontileka nomkhiqizi wamasosha ozimele wakwa-Israel. I-Elbit Systems ukwakha "udonga olubonakalayo," umgoqo wezobuchwepheshe ohlehliselwe emuva kusukela ekuhlukaneni kwangempela kwamazwe ngamazwe ogwadule lwase-Arizona. Leyo nkampani, isitoko sayo esidayiswe e-US sikhuphuke ngo-6% ngesikhathi sokusebenza kwezempi okukhulu kuka-Israyeli ngokumelene neGaza ehlobo lika-2014, izoletha i-databank efanayo yobuchwepheshe obusetshenziswa emingceleni yakwa-Israyeli - iGaza kanye neWest Bank - eNingizimu ye-Arizona ngokusebenzisa inkampani engaphansi kwayo. I-Elbit Systems yaseMelika.
Ngabasebenzi ababalelwa ku-12,000 futhi, njengoba iqhosha, “iminyaka eyi-10+ ukuvikela imingcele eyinselele kakhulu emhlabeni,” i-Elbit ikhiqiza iqoqo “lezinhlelo zokuphepha zasekhaya.” Lokhu kuhlanganisa izimoto ezigadayo ezihlala phansi, amasistimu asemoyeni amancane angenamuntu, kanye “nocingo oluhlakaniphile,” imigoqo yensimbi eqine kakhulu ekwazi ukuzwa ukuthinta noma ukunyakaza komuntu. Endimeni yayo njengomdidiyeli wohlelo oluholayo lohlelo lobuchwepheshe bemingcele yakwa-Israel, inkampani isivele ifake uthango oluhlakaniphile eWest Bank kanye naseGolan Heights.
E-Arizona, engase isetshenziswe ezigidini zamaRandi, i-CBP inikeze u-Elbit umsebenzi wokwenza “udonga” “lwemibhoshongo eqinile ehlanganisiwe” equkethe okwakamuva kumakhamera, i-radar, izinzwa ezinyakazayo, namagumbi okulawula. Ukwakhiwa kuzoqala ezindaweni ezimangelengele, eziwugwadule ezizungeze i-Nogales. Uma ukuhlolwa kwe-DHS kubona ukuthi ingxenye yephrojekthi isebenza ngempumelelo, okunye kuzokwakhiwa ukuze kuqashwe ubude obugcwele bemingcele yesifunda neMexico. Khumbula, nokho, ukuthi le mibhoshongo iyingxenye eyodwa kuphela yokusebenza okubanzi, i I-Arizona Border Surveillance Technology Plan. Kulesi sigaba, empeleni kuwuhlelo lwengqalasizinda engakaze ibonwe yezivikelo ezisezingeni zobuchwepheshe ezidonse ukunaka kwezinkampani eziningi.
Akukhona okokuqala izinkampani zakwa-Israel zibamba iqhaza ekwakhiweni komngcele wase-US. Eqinisweni, ngo-2004, ama-drones ka-Elbit's Hermes kwaba yizimoto zokuqala zasemoyeni ezingenamuntu ezafika esibhakabhakeni ukujikeleza umngcele waseningizimu. Ngo-2007, ngokusho kukaNaomi Klein ku The Shock Doctrine, i-Golan Group, inkampani yokuxhumana yakwa-Israel eyakhiwe yizikhulu zangaphambili ze-IDF Special Forces, enikeziwe isifundo esijulile sezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili sabasebenzeli abakhethekile be-DHS abavela kwamanye amazwe ehlanganisa “yonke into kusukela ekulweni ngezandla ukuya ekuzijwayezeni okuqondiswe kuye 'kusukela ekuxazululeni izinkinga nge-SUV yabo.'” Inkampani yakwa-Israel i-NICE Systems inikezwe I-Arizona UJoe Arpaio,“usherifu waseMelika onamandla kunabo bonke,” onohlelo lokugada ukuze abuke elinye lamajele akhe.
Njengoba ukubambisana okunjalo kwemingcele kukhula, intatheli uJimmy Johnson ihlanganisiwe inkulumo efanelekile ethi “umngcele wePalestine-Mexico” ukuze ubambe okwakwenzeka. Ngo-2012, izishayamthetho zesifunda sase-Arizona, ukuzwa inzuzo engaba khona yezomnotho yalokhu kubambisana okukhulayo, yamemezela izwe labo eliwugwadule kanye nelakwa-Israyeli “njengabalingani bezohwebo” bemvelo, yenezela ngokuthi “kwakuwubudlelwano esifuna ukubuthuthukisa.”
Ngale ndlela, kwavuleka iminyango yohlelo lwezwe olusha lapho i-United States ne-Israel zizoba abalingani “elabhorethri” eyimingcele ye-US-Mexican. Izindawo zayo zokuhlola zizoba se-Arizona. Lapho, ikakhulukazi ngohlelo olwaziwa ngokuthi I-Global Advantage, Ulwazi lwaseMelika lwezemfundo nebhizinisi kanye nokukhiqizwa kwamaholo aphansi kwaseMexico kuzohlangana nezinkampani zokuphepha zasemngceleni nezakwa-Israel.
Umngcele: Vula Ibhizinisi
Akekho ongahlela uthando olusafufusa phakathi kwezinkampani zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu zakwa-Israel kanye ne-Arizona kangcono kuneMeya yaseTucson u-Jonathan Rothschild. Uthi: “Uma uya kwa-Israel futhi ufika eNingizimu ye-Arizona bese uvala amehlo akho bese uziphotha izikhathi ezimbalwa, ungase ungakwazi ukusho umehluko.”
I-Global Advantage iphrojekthi yebhizinisi esekelwe kubambiswano phakathi kwe-University of Arizona's Tech Parks Arizona kanye ne-Offshore Group, inkampani eluleka ngebhizinisi nezindlu enikeza “izixazululo ezingasogwini zabakhiqizi banoma imuphi usayizi” ngaphesheya nje komngcele waseMexico. I-Tech Parks Arizona inabameli, abagcini bamabhuku, nezifundiswa, kanye nolwazi lobuchwepheshe, ukusiza noma iyiphi inkampani yangaphandle ukuthi ihlale ngokuthambile futhi imise isitolo esifundazweni. Izosiza leyo nkampani ekubhekaneni nezindaba zomthetho, ekufezeni ukuthotshelwa kwemithetho, ngisho nasekutholeni abasebenzi abaqeqeshiwe - futhi ngohlelo olubizwa ngokuthi i-Israel Business Initiative, i-Global Advantage ihlonze izwe ekuqondiswe kuyo.
Kucabange njengesibonelo esihle kakhulu somhlaba wangemva kwe-NAFTA lapho izinkampani ezizinikele ekumiseni abeqa imingcele zihlale zikhululekile ukuwela imingcele efanayo ngokwazo. Ngomoya wokuhweba ngokukhululekile odale isivumelwano se-NAFTA, izinhlelo zakamuva zokuqinisa imingcele zenzelwe ukuqeda imingcele uma kuziwa ekuvumeleni izinkampani zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu ezivela ngaphesheya kwezilwandle ukuthi zisungule e-United States futhi zisebenzisa isizinda sokukhiqiza saseMexico ukuze imikhiqizo yabo. Ngenkathi i-Israel ne-Arizona zingahlukaniswa ngezinkulungwane zamamayela, u-Rothschild uqinisekisile TomDispatch ukuthi “kwezomnotho, ayikho imingcele.”
Kunjalo, into ethokozelwa ngusodolobha, ngaphezu kwakho konke, indlela ubuchwepheshe obusha bomngcele obungaletha ngayo imali nemisebenzi endaweni enezinga lobumpofu elicishe libe ngama-23%. Ukuthi leyo misebenzi ingase idalwe kanjani akunandaba kangako kuye. Ngokuka-Molly Gilbert, umqondisi wokusebenzelana komphakathi we-Tech Parks Arizona, “Empeleni kumayelana nentuthuko, futhi sifuna ukudala imisebenzi yezobuchwepheshe ezindaweni zethu ezisemngceleni.”
Ngakho-ke cabanga njengokuyindida ukuthi, kuleli sethi ethuthukayo yomhlaba wonke yobambiswano lokubhidliza imingcele, izimboni ezizokhiqiza izinqaba zasemngceleni eziklanywe i-Elbit nezinye amafemu obuchwepheshe obuphezulu bakwa-Israel nase-US zizoba seMexico. Izisebenzi zase-Mexican ezingakhokhelwa ezisebenza ngokhololo oluluhlaza, zizokhiqiza zona kanye izingxenye zombuso wokuqapha wesikhathi esizayo, ongasiza ekutholeni, ukubopha, ukubopha, ukuvalela, nokuxosha abanye babo uma bezama ukuwelela e-United States.
Cabanga nge-Global Advantage njengomugqa womhlangano wamazwe ngamazwe, indawo lapho ukuphepha kwezwe kuhlangana ne-NAFTA. Njengamanje kubikwa ukuthi kunezinkampani zakwa-Israel eziyi-10 kuye kwezingama-20 ezisengxoxweni esebenzayo mayelana nokujoyina lolu hlelo. UBruce Wright, oyi-CEO yeTech Parks Arizona, uyatshela TomDispatch ukuthi inhlangano yakhe inesivumelwano “sokungadalulwa” nanoma yiziphi izinkampani ezisayinayo ngakho azikwazi ukudalula amagama azo.
Nakuba eqaphile mayelana nokufuna impumelelo ngokusemthethweni kwe-Global Advantage's Israel Business Initiative, u-Wright ugcwele ithemba mayelana nokuhlela kwenhlangano yakhe ezweni lonke. Njengoba ekhuluma egunjini lezingqungquthela elisepaki elingamahektha ayi-1,345 emaphethelweni aseningizimu yeTucson, kusobala ukuthi uvukwe izibikezelo zokuthi imakethe Yezokuphepha Kwasekhaya izokhula isuka ebhizinisini laminyaka yonke lama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-51 ngo-2012 liye kuye. $ 81 billion e-United States kuphela ngo-2020, futhi $ 544 billion emhlabeni wonke ngo-2018.
U-Wright uyazi futhi ukuthi izimakethe ezingaphansi zemikhiqizo ehlobene nomngcele efana nokubhekwa kwevidiyo, izikhali ezingabulali, kanye nobuchwepheshe bokuhlola abantu konke kuthuthuka ngokushesha nokuthi imakethe yase-US yama-drones isimi ngomumo ukudala imisebenzi emisha engu-70,000 ngo-2016. Kubhebhezela lokhu kukhula kancane kancane. yini i Associated Press ubiza i "ukushintsha okungajwayelekile" ukubhekisisa i-drone engxenyeni eseningizimu ye-US. Izindiza ezingama-drone ezingaphezu kwezi-10,000 seziqaliswe endaweni yomoya emngceleni kusukela ngoNdasa wezi-2013, ngezinhlelo zokunye okuningi, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokuthi i-Border Patrol iphinda kabili imikhumbi yayo.
Lapho uWright ekhuluma, kuyacaca ukuthi uyazi ukuthi ipaki yakhe ihlezi phezu kwemayini yegolide yangekhulunyaka lamashumi amabili nanye. Njengoba ekubona, i-Southern Arizona, isizwa ipaki yakhe yobuchwepheshe, izoba ilabhorethri ephelele yeqoqo lokuqala lezinkampani zokuphepha emngceleni eNyakatho Melika. Akagcini nje ngokucabanga ngezinkampani ezingama-57 zaseningizimu ye-Arizona esezihlonzwe njengezisebenza kwezokuphepha nokuphatha emngceleni, kodwa izinkampani ezifanayo ezweni lonke nasemhlabeni wonke, ikakhulukazi kwa-Israel.
Eqinisweni, inhloso kaWright ukulandela ukuhola kwama-Israyeli, njengoba manje isiyindawo yokuqala yamaqembu anjalo. Endabeni yakhe, umngcele waseMexico uzovele ungene esikhundleni sezindawo zokuhlola zasePalestine ezithengiswa kakhulu. Izinyawo eziwumugqa ezingu-18,000 ezizungeza ipulazi lephaneli yelanga lepaki, isibonelo, zingaba indawo ekahle yokuhlola izinzwa ezinyakazayo. Izinkampani zingase futhi zisebenzise, zihlole, futhi zihlole imikhiqizo yazo “endle,” njengoba ethanda ukusho - okungukuthi, lapho abantu bangempela beqa imingcele yangempela - njengoba nje i-Elbit Systems yenza ngaphambi kokuba i-CBP iyinikeze inkontileka.
“Uma sizolala nomngcele usuku nosuku, nazo zonke izinkinga nezinkinga zawo, futhi kunesixazululo kukho,” kusho uWright engxoxweni ka-2012, “kungani kungafanele sibe yindawo lapho inkinga ixazululwa khona futhi sizuze inzuzo yezentengiso kuyo?”
Ukusuka Empini Kuya Emngceleni
Lapho uNaomi Weiner, umxhumanisi wephrojekthi we-Israel Business Initiative, ebuya ohambweni lokuya kulelo zwe nabacwaningi baseNyuvesi yase-Arizona belandelana, wayengenakuba nomdlandla kakhulu mayelana namathuba okubambisana. Ubuye ngoNovemba, kusasele usuku nje ngaphambi kokuthi u-Obama amemezele izenzo zakhe ezintsha zokuphatha - isimemezelo esithembisayo kulabo, njengaye, ebhizinisini lokuqinisa ukuvikela emngceleni.
"Sikhethe izindawo lapho i-Israel inamandla kakhulu futhi i-Southern Arizona iqine kakhulu," kuchaza u-Weiner TomDispatch, ekhomba imboni yokugada "i-synergy" phakathi kwalezi zindawo ezimbili. Isibonelo, enye inkampani ithimba lakhe elihlangane nayo kwa-Israel kwaba I-Brightway Vision, inkampani ephethwe yi-Elbit Systems. Uma inquma ukumisa isitolo e-Arizona, ingasebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bepaki yezobuchwepheshe ukuze iqhubeke ithuthukise futhi icwengisise amakhamera ayo ezithombe ezishisayo kanye nezibuko, kuyilapho ihlola izindlela zokuphinda ithenge leyo mikhiqizo yezempi ngezicelo zokugada emngceleni. I-Offshore Group izobe isikhiqiza amakhamera nezibuko eMexico.
I-Arizona, njengoba i-Weiner ikubeka, “inephakheji eliphelele” lezinkampani ezinjalo zakwa-Israel. “Sihlezi khona kanye emngceleni, eduze naseFort Huachuca,” isizinda samasosha esiseduze lapho, phakathi kokunye, ochwepheshe belawula ama-drones aqapha imingcele. “Sinobudlelwano neCustoms and Border Protection, ngakho kuningi okwenzeka lapha. Futhi siyiSikhungo SokuSebenza Kwezokuphepha Kwezwe. ”
U-Weiner ubhekise eqinisweni lokuthi, ngo-2008, i-DHS yaqoka iNyuvesi yase-Arizona njengesikole esiholayo Isikhungo Sobuhle Kwezokuphepha Emngceleni kanye Nokuthuthela kwelinye izwe. Ngenxa yalokho, selithole izigidi zamaRandi kuzibonelelo zikahulumeni. Ngokugxila ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe bamaphoyisa asemngceleni, lesi sikhungo siyindawo lapho, phakathi kwezinye izinto, onjiniyela befunda ngamaphiko esikhonyane ukuze bakhe ama-drones amancane afakwe amakhamera angangena ezindaweni ezincane kakhulu eduze nezinga eliphansi, kuyilapho ezinkulu. ama-drones afana ne-Predator B ayaqhubeka nokuduma phezu kwe-borderlands ngamamitha angu-30,000 (naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi ucwaningo lwakamuva ngumhloli jikelele wezokuphepha kwezwe wabathola bemosha imali).
Yize uthando lwase-Arizona-Israel lusesesigabeni sokuqomisana, isasasa ngamathuba alo liyakhula. Izikhulu ze-Tech Parks Arizona zibona i-Global Advantage njengendlela ephelele yokuqinisa “ubudlelwano obukhethekile” base-US-Israel. Ayikho enye indawo emhlabeni enenqwaba yezinkampani zobuchwepheshe bokuphepha kwezwe kune-Israel. Kuqalwa ubuchwepheshe obungamakhulu ayisithupha eTel Aviv kuphela minyaka yonke. Ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kweGaza ehlobo eledlule, Bloomberg kubika ukuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali ezinkampanini ezinjalo “kwakuthuthukile ngempela.” Kodwa-ke, naphezu kokusebenza kwezempi ngezikhathi ezithile eGaza kanye nokwakhiwa okungapheli kombuso wezokuphepha wezwe lakwa-Israel, kunemikhawulo engathi sína emakethe yendawo.
UMnyango Wezomnotho wakwa-Israel ukwazi kabuhlungu ngalokhu. Izikhulu zayo ziyazi ukuthi ukukhula komnotho wakwa-Israel “kubhebhezelwa kakhulu ngokukhula okuqhubekayo kwempahla ethunyelwa ngaphandle kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali kwamanye amazwe.” Uhulumeni uyafaka amakhodi, alime, futhi asekele lezi zinkampani zobuchwepheshe eziqalayo kuze kube yilapho imikhiqizo yazo isilungele ukumakethe. Phakathi kwazo kube nezinto ezintsha ezifana ne-“skunk,” uketshezi olunephunga elibolile oluhloselwe ukumisa izixuku ezingalawuleki emikhondweni yazo. Umnyango uphinde waphumelela ekuyiseni imikhiqizo enjalo ukumaketha emhlabeni wonke. Eshumini leminyaka elilandela i-9/11, ukuthengiswa kwe-Israel "ukuthunyelwa kwezokuphepha” inyuke isuka ku-$2 billion yaya ku-$7 billion ngonyaka.
Izinkampani zakwa-Israel zithengise ama-drones okuqapha emazweni aseLatin America njengawo Mexico, Chile, futhi Colombia, kanye nezinhlelo zokuphepha ezinkulu eziya e-India nase-Brazil, lapho kuzosetshenziswa uhlelo lokuhlola i-electro-optic ngasemingceleni yezwe neParaguay neBolivia. Baphinde baba yingxenye yamalungiselelo okusebenza kwamaphoyisa kuma-Olympics azoba seBrazil ngo-2016. Imikhiqizo ye-Elbit Systems nezinkampani ezingaphansi kwayo isisetshenziswa kusukela emazweni aseMelika naseYurophu kuya e-Australia. Ngaleso sikhathi, leyo femu enkulu yezokuphepha ibandakanyeka kakhulu ekutholeni “izicelo zomphakathi” zobuchwepheshe bayo bempi. Iphinde izinikele kakhulu ekuletheni inkundla yempi emingceleni yomhlaba, okuhlanganisa neningizimu ye-Arizona.
Njengesazi sokuma komhlaba uJoseph Nevins amanothi, nakuba kunomehluko omningi phakathi kwezimo zezombangazwe zase-US nezakwa-Israel, kokubili i-Israel-Palestine kanye ne-Arizona yabelana ngokugxila ekugcineni “labo abathathwa njengabangaphandle unomphela,” kungaba abasePalestine, abaseLatin America abangenazo izincwadi, noma abantu bomdabu.
U-Mohyeddin Abdulaziz uye wabona lobu “buhlobo obukhethekile” nhlangothi zombili, njengombaleki wasePalestina ikhaya lakhe nedolobhana lamasosha akwa-Israel abhubhisa ngo-1967 futhi njengomuntu osenesikhathi eside ehlala emngceleni wase-US-Mexico. Ilungu elisungula i-Southern Arizona BDS Network, inhloso yalo kuwukucindezela ukuhlukaniswa kwe-US ezinkampanini zakwa-Israel, u-Abdulaziz uphikisana nanoma yiluphi uhlelo olufana ne-Global Advantage oluzoba nomthelela ekuqhubekeleni phambili kwezempi emngceleni, ikakhulukazi uma futhi ihlanza "ukwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu" akwa-Israyeli. kanye nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.”
Ukwephulwa okunjalo akunandaba kangako, vele, uma kunemali okufanele yenziwe, njengoba uBrigadier General Elkabetz abonisa kuleyo ngqungquthela yobuchwepheshe bomngcele ka-2012. Uma kubhekwa inkombandlela i-US kanye ne-Israel abayithathayo uma kuziwa ezindaweni zabo ezisemngceleni, amadili athengiswayo eNyuvesi yase-Arizona abukeka ngokwanda njengamameshi enziwe ezulwini (noma mhlawumbe isihogo). Ngenxa yalokho, kuneqiniso eligcwele ekuphawuleni kwentatheli uDan Cohen ukuthi “i-Arizona iyi-Israel yase-United States.”
