Ngibhekisa encwadini kaNatalia Hay (“IHamas iyinkinga, ”Meyi 26). Inhloso yeSiyoni kusukela ngo-1917 iBalfour Declaration bekungukuxosha abasePalestine ezweni labo “emfuleni baye olwandle”, futhi lokhu kuseyinhloso yeqembu lakwa-Israyeli elilawula iLikud nababambisene nalo.
Okuxakayo ngukuthi ukusungulwa ngo-1987 kweHamas ekuqaleni kwagqugquzelwa ngohulumeni bakwa-Israel bezama ukulwa noFatah. I-Hamas yanqoba ukhetho lwango-2006, abaqaphi bamazwe omhlaba abaluvuma “njengolukhululekile nolungenzeleli”. Kungazelelwe ngemuva kokuthi iHamas inqobe lolo khetho lwentando yeningi ngendlela ephawulekayo, abakwa-Israel kanye nabaphathi babo baseMelika bamemezele ukuthi iHamas iyinhlangano "yamaphekula".
I-ANC nayo yayijwayele ukuqokwa njengenhlangano “yamaphekula” ngoba yayiphikisana nobandlululo. Yeka ubuzenzisi! Njenge-Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme yokuqapha ukuthula ePalestine nase-Israel eJerusalema naseBethlehem ngo-2009/2010, ukufana okwakukhona phakathi kwami nobandlululo e-SA kanye nokwehluka kwalo kwe-Zionist kwakukhanya.
Lokho okubizwa ngokuthi "yisixazululo sezwe ezimbili" ekugcineni kwamukelwa njenge-nonstarter ngisho nase-US nase-UK ngemuva kokuhlaselwa kuka-Israyeli eGaza, i-Al -Aqsa mosque nezindawo zasePalestine eJerusalema, kubandakanya uSheikh Jarrah noSilwan. Umthetho wase-Israel Nation-State owaphasiswa ngonyaka we-2018 uqinisekisa, ngokusemthethweni nangokwangempela, ukuthi i-Israel iyizwe lobandlululo. Ithi "ilungelo lokuzimela ezweni lonke" kwa-Israyeli "lihlukile kubantu abangamaJuda". AmaSulumane, amaKrestu kanye / noma abantu abangenayo inkolo babuyiselwa ebusheni besigaba sesibili noma sesithathu.
Kuyamangaza ngempela ukuthi amaNazi kanye namaZayoni kuphela achaza amaJuda "njengesizwe" kanye / noma "umjaho". Ngaphezu kwemithetho engama-50 iyabandlulula izakhamizi zasePalestine zakwa-Israyeli ngesisekelo sobuzwe, ulimi nomhlaba. Ngokufana nomthetho odumile wobandlululo weGroup Areas Act e-SA, ama-93% akwa-Israyeli abekelwe ukuhlala kwamaJuda kuphela. Yebo, umbuso owodwa wentando yeningi nowezwe “kusuka emfuleni kuze kube solwandle” lapho amaPalestine azokwakha khona iningi kuzosho ukuphela kombuso wakwa-Zionist / wobandlululo wakwa-Israyeli - makube njalo, nokuqedwa okuhle. Ubandlululo lwaluyinhlekelele eNingizimu Afrika - kungani kufanele lubekelwe abantu basePalestine abanelungelo ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe omhlaba ukuthi balwe nokwebiwa kwezwe labo?
(I-Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme yePalestine ne-Israel yasungulwa ngonyaka we-2002 yi-World Council of Churches ngemuva kokuvinjezelwa kwezinsuku ezingama-49 kwa-Israyeli eBhetlehema.)
