“I-Israel izisola ngakho konke ukulimala kwabantu. Ngibiza izakhamuzi zaseGaza: Ningahlali lapho. I-Hamas ifuna ufe, sifuna uphephe.”
Lona nguNdunankulu wakwa-Israel uBenjamin Netanyahu, njengoba ecashunwe encwadini I-Jewish Daily Forward, ehlanza unembeza wesizwe sonke. Ingabe kulula kangako ngempela ukushanela udosi lokuziphatha lobudlova? Isibalo sabantu abathunjiwe sijeziswa ngemicibisholo. Bangaphezu kuka-500 abantu basePalestine asebeshonile kuze kube manje ku-Operation Protective Edge, izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zabo izakhamuzi futhi, vele, abaningi babo kuyizingane. Kodwa “sifuna uphephe” futhi sifisa sengathi bekungadingeki sikwenze lokhu.
UNetanyahu, ephonswe ekhoneni lobudlelwano bomphakathi ngokuzwelana nabantu basePalestine emhlabeni wonke, uphinde wakhuluma la mazwi anokubhuqa, angazisoli kangako: “Bafuna ukunqwabelanisa abafileyo abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Basebenzisa abantu basePalestine abafile ngenxa yezizathu zabo. Bafuna ukufa okwengeziwe, kungcono. "
Glenn Greenwald waqhathanisa lokhu kuphawula namazwi kaJoseph Goebbels ango-1941, ebukela phansi amaJuda ngokuhluthula izintambo zozwela zamaJalimane anezinhliziyo ezithambile: “Umuntu uba nombono ngokungazelelwe,” kubhala ungqongqoshe wenkulumo-ze wamaNazi, “wokuthi amaJuda aseBerlin anezingane ezincane kuphela. okungakwazi ukuzisiza kobuntwana okungasishukumisa, noma izalukazi ezintekenteke.”
Udlame luzala udlame ngomjikelezo ongapheli. Futhi ubudlova cishe ngaso sonke isikhathi benziwa kwabangenamandla. Abenzi bobubi “banezithakazelo” ezisengozini kodwa cishe akukho okungabalahlekela. Ukudubula izakhamuzi ngamabhomu kuwukuziphatha okulingana nokuhlukunyezwa. Lena indaba yempucuko yaseNtshonalanga; yindaba “yenqubekelaphambili.” Iyaqhubeka.
Umlobi UNawomi Klein, ongumJuda waseMelika, wakubeka ngale ndlela lapho ekhuluma kwa-Israel ngo-2009, ngokwe-Haaretz: “Impikiswano iphakama embuzweni othi: ‘Ngeke ngiphinde kubo bonke abantu, noma ngeke ngiphinde futhi kithi?’”
Izizwe azenziwanga ngendlela engenzeka ngayo yokuqala, okudinga ukweqa kokuziphendukela kwemvelo esingakakwenzi njengezinhlobo zezilwane: ukwakha izakhiwo ezihlangene ezihlonipha sonke isintu. Izizwe zidinga izitha. Evikini eledlule, ukubhala ngobuzwe, ngacaphuna isazi-mlando uMichael Howard, esabhala: “Kusukela ekuqaleni, isimiso sobuzwe sasicishe sihlotshaniswe ngokungenakuhlukaniswa, kokubili ngokombono nangokwenza, nomqondo wempi.
U-Israel ungumntwana wephosta wesimanje walo mgomo.
Ku-an incwadi evulekile ebhekiswe kwiZizwe Ezihlangene kanye nezizwe zomhlaba, abantu abangu-64 emphakathini - phakathi kwabo, abayisikhombisa abathola uMklomelo Wokuthula kaNobel - bacele ukuthi kuvinjwe izikhali ngokumelene no-Israyeli, "ikhono labo lokuqalisa ukuhlasela okulimaza kangaka ngaphandle kokujeziswa livela kakhulu empini yamazwe ngamazwe. ukubambisana nohwebo olugcina luhambisana nohulumeni emhlabeni wonke.”
Lokhu ukuhambisana kwe-hegemonic, omunye angase athi, okubusa umhlaba. URichard Falk, owayengunobhala okhethekile we-UN ngamalungelo abantu basePalestine, wakubiza ngokuthi “ukulandisa ezitheni zaseNtshonalanga, ukungajeziswa kweNtshonalanga nabangane bayo.”
Waqhubeka: “Izindinganiso ezinjalo ezimbaxa-mbili ziqokomisa ukungezwani phakathi komthetho nobulungisa. Okwamanje akekho ozuza kakhulu kuleli siko lezepolitiki elonakele lokungajeziswa ukwedlula ubuholi bezepolitiki kanye nesakhiwo somyalo wezempi wakwa-Israel.”
Imisho ejabulisa kakhulu encwadini evulelekile eyasayinwa abahlomuli beNobel nabanye kwaba yilena: “Ubuchwepheshe bezempi bakwa-Israyeli budayiswa ngokuthi 'buhloliwe' futhi buthunyelwa emhlabeni wonke. Ukuhwebelana kwezempi kanye nobudlelwano obuhlangene bocwaningo oluhlobene nezempi ne-Israel kuqinisekisa ukungajezisi kwa-Israyeli ekwenzeni ukwephulwa okukhulu komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe futhi kusiza ukugxila ohlelweni luka-Israyeli lokuhlala, ukubuyiswa kwamakoloni kanye nokwenqatshwa ngokuhlelekile kwamalungelo asePalestine.”
Ihlolwe inkambu? Kuningi okwenzekayo lapha kunokuzivikela okusolwayo, noma ukuphishekela izithakazelo zendawo. Lokhu kumayelana nebhizinisi. I-Israel ingelinye lamazwe ahamba phambili ngokuthumela izikhali kwamanye amazwe, ikleliswe endaweni yesithupha emhlabeni wonke ngo-2012, ngemuva kwe-United States, Russia neFrance. IBrithani neJalimane, ngokusho I-IHS Jane's Defence Weekly. Ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eGaza Strip ngokusobala kuyindlela ehlola ngayo izikhali zayo futhi igcina isikhundla sokuhlonishwa komhlaba wonke phakathi kwamakilasi agqugquzela impi nabanemali - abangabanikazi bomhlaba, noma okungenani bacabange ukuthi bayayenza.
Ngempela, intatheli yakwa-Israel u-Yotam Feldman ungumqondisi we-documentary ka-2013 ebizwa ngokuthi “I-Lab,” eligomela ngokuthi izindawo ezithathwayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ziyini, seziphenduke indawo yokuhlola nokubukisa ngezikhali zakwa-Israyeli.
Kukhona into enjengokuzivikela, kodwa ayikho into okuthiwa yimpi enezimiso, noma esemthethweni. Ukubulala kuhlala kuwukubulala: umdlalo ongenamali yokuwina nokulahlekelwa ngokubusa okunodlame.
Njengabantu ngabanye, singabheka ukubulawa kwabantu ohulumeni bethu kanye nabanye ohulumeni futhi abakhala ngakho, kusukela ekujuleni kwemiphefumulo yethu, “Ngeke ngiphinde.”
Uma sihlangana ndawonye ngamaqembu ahlomile, sixhumanisa ngokwesaba nenzondo futhi silulaze insindiso yethu. “Ngeke ngiphinde kithi (futhi kuthina kuphela)” ukukhala kwempi kwabalahlekile, okuqinisekisa impi engapheli kanye nokushabalala kwawo wonke umuntu - ngisho nabenza inzuzo.
