Usuku lwe-51 lokubulala

Incwadi yakamuva kaMax Blumenthal, Impi yoSuku lwe-51: Ukubhujiswa Nokumelana eGaza, ixoxa indaba enamandla kahle. Ngingacabanga ngamanye amagama ambalwa abonisa ngokunembile ukuhlaselwa kuka-2014 eGaza eGaza ngokungeziwe "empini," phakathi kwabo: umsebenzi, ukubulala, nokubulawa kwabantu. Ngayinye isebenza ngenhloso ehlukile eyehlukile. Ngamunye uqinisile.

Izithombe abantu abazikhumbuza ngegama elithi "impi," esephelelwe yisikhathi emhlabeni wonke, ziphelelwe yisikhathi esimweni esifana nalesi. Awekho amabutho amabili enkundleni yempi. Ayikho inkundla yempi. Ayikho inhloso yokunqoba, ukuhlwitha noma ukuphanga. Abantu baseGaza sebenqotshiwe ngaphambili, banqotshiwe, bavalelwa ejele, futhi bavinjezelwe - benganyelwa unomphela ngamadroni ezempi kanye nezibhamu zemishini elawula kude kude nezindonga zekamu lasejele. Ekuphonseni amabhomu ezindlini, uhulumeni wase-Israel akazami ukunqoba elinye ibutho enkundleni yempi, akazami ukuthola indawo, akazami ukweba izinsizakusebenza zamanye amazwe, futhi akazami ukubamba ibutho langaphandle ukuzama ukunqoba u-Israyeli.

Yebo, kunjalo, u-Israyeli ekugcineni ufuna umhlaba waseGaza ufakwe kwa-Israyeli, kepha hhayi ngabantu abangewona amaJuda abahlala kuwo. (Amaphesenti ayisishiyagalombili abahlali baseGaza bangababaleki abavela kwa-Israyeli, imindeni ihlanzwe ngokobuzwe ngo-1947-1948.) Yebo, kunjalo, abakwa-Israel bafuna izinto zokubasa zasogwini lwaseGazan. Kepha isivele inayo. Cha, inhloso esheshayo yempi yakwa-Israyeli eGaza ngonyaka owedlule, njengaleyo eyenzeka eminyakeni emibili eyedlule, futhi njengaleyo yeminyaka emine ngaphambi kwalokho, ingalingana kahle negama elithi "The 51 Day Genocide." Inhloso bekuwukubulala. Ukuphela kwakungeyona enye into ngaphandle kwezindlela.

Ngo-2014, njengango-2012 nango-2008, u-Israel waphinde wahlasela abantu baseGaza, esebenzisa izikhali ezinikezwe mahhala nguhulumeni wase-US, ezingathenjelwa kuzo, noma zime zodwa, ukuvikela ubugebengu bakwa-Israyeli eNhlanganweni Yezizwe. Ukwenza lokho okwabizwa ngokuthi yiDahiya Doctrine, inqubomgomo yakwa-Israyeli yayingeyinye yezijeziso ezihlangene.

Izindaba ezindabeni zase-US zigxile kokwesaba kwama-Israyeli. Ukushona kwamaGazans kuchazwe njengokuzinikela ngamabomu ngabantu "abanesiko lokufela ukholo" kwesinye isikhathi abakhetha ukufa ngoba kwenza amavidyo kliphu amahle. Ngemuva kwakho konke, abakwa-Israyeli babefonela izindlu zabantu futhi bebanikeza izexwayiso zemizuzu engu-5 ngaphambi kokuzishaya. Iqiniso lokuthi bekuqhumisa nezindawo zokukhosela nezibhedlela abangabalekela kuzo zacasulwa noma zachazwa njengokuthinta ngandlela thile imigomo yezempi.

Kepha abezindaba bakwa-Israyeli kanye ne-inthanethi babegcwele ukumelwa okuvulekile yizikhulu eziphezulu zakwa-Israyeli zokuqothulwa kohlanga. Ngo-Agasti 1, 2014, iPhini likaSomlomo wePhalamende lakwa-Israyeli lafaka ekhasini lakhe le-Facebook uhlelo lokuqedwa ngokuphelele kwabantu baseGazan besebenzisa amakamu okuhlushwa, ukuthatha esinye sezibonelo eziningi.

Yonke le nto yaqalwa ngesikhathi uNdunankulu uBenjamin Netanyahu eqamba amanga ethi kungenzeka ukuthi izisulu ezintathu zokubulala zisaphila, zisola ngamanga ukuthumba kwabo iHamas, zaqala nokugqekeza ezindlini namaGazan abopha abantu abaningi. Lapho i-Israel kanye ne-United States sebenqabile ngaphandle kwezandla izimfuno zokuyeka ukulwa nomlilo ezivela eHamas, impi / ukuqothulwa kohlanga kwase kuqhubeka izinsuku ezingama-51 - ngokuxhaswa okukhulu kwa-Israyeli. Abantu abangaba ngu-2,200 10,000 baseGazan babulawa, abangaphezu kuka-100,000 XNUMX balimala, kwathi abangu-XNUMX XNUMX benziwa dengwane yimpi eyayihambisana nohlangothi olulodwa.

Nakhu ukunambitheka kokuthi uBlumenthal ukuchaza kanjani okwenzekile:

“Amavolontiya amabili eRed Crescent angitshele ukuthi kamuva athola owesilisa eKhuza'a ephethe izidumbu ezinzima, ebambe izandla zombili ekhanda lakhe ezinikela, umzimba wakhe ugcwele izinhlamvu. Bejule kakhulu edolobheni, bathola wonke umndeni usubolile kakhulu kwaze kwadingeka ukuthi bashushiswe ngogandaganda ethuneni elikhulu. Ensimini engaphesheya kwedolobha, u-Awad no-Alkusofi bathola owesifazane othuke igobolondo okungenani eneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili ubudala ecashe ehhoko lezinkukhu. Wayekhosele lapho izinsuku eziyisishiyagalolunye ngesikhathi sokuvinjezelwa, engazuzi lutho ngaphandle kokudla kwezinkukhu namanzi emvula. ”

Ngenkathi zonke izikole eziqhunyiswe ngamabhomu nesibhedlela kuchazwa ngomqondo wokuthi amasosha aseGazan ayecashe phakathi “kwezihlangu zomuntu,” sihlangana nabantu baseGazan encwadini kaBlumenthal ababanjwa ngokoqobo njengezivikelo ngamasosha akwa-Israyeli adubula amaGazans emahlombe abo. Abantu futhi banezikhali ezintsha ezimbi ezihloliwe kubo, kufaka phakathi i-Dense Inert Metal Explosives (DIME).

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli babevame ukuhambisana nale mpi (ngaphandle kwezinto ezithandekayo), babuye baphinda bayakha kabusha abayakhi bayo. Imibhikisho emayelana nempi yavalwa, futhi amanga ahlukahlukene (kufaka phakathi lawo aphathelene nalaba bantu abathathu ababulewe ababulawa lapho) avele odabeni lwezinsuku noma amasonto. Akunandaba, iphuzu lalingelokubulala abantu, futhi abantu babulawa. Futhi akunandaba eWashington, noma, eyayigcina izikhali zigeleza, ngokungemthetho.

IGaza yethule amarokhethi angaba ngu-4,000 12 kwa-Israyeli, kwaba nomphumela omncane obonakalayo - amarokhethi okukhokhwa kwawo okuhlangene cishe acishe kwalingana nemicibisholo eyi-16 nje u-Israyeli ayithumela eGaza ivela kuma-F-XNUMX ayo ayenzelwe i-Land of the Free.

“Umphakathi wamazwe omhlaba” wahlangana eCairo ngo-Okthoba 12, futhi osomaqhinga “baxoxa ngokucekelwa phansi kweGaza kwangathi kungumphumela wenhlekelele engokwemvelo - njengokungathi imicibisholo eyanciphisa izindawo zomngcele waba udoti kwakuyizimbumbulu ezavela ngaphandle . ” Kwakungekho ndlela yokuxoxa ngomonakalo ezinhlangothini zombili ngendlela eyayizokwenza ukuthi isenzo sakwa-Israyeli sibonakale sisemthethweni, ngisho nangezindinganiso “zomphakathi wamazwe omhlaba,” ngakho-ke baxoxa ngomonakalo ohlangothini olulodwa njengokungathi akekho owayebhekene nawo.

Ingabe kulapho i-United States ibheke khona ngokwesiko nangezimpi zayo? Esinye isizathu sokungabi nethemba lokuthi ukuphikisana nezimpi zakwa-Israyeli kungenye yezindawo ezimbalwa lapho intsha yase-US bayathembisana ku-activism yempi. Noma kunjalo, kunesizathu sokukhathazeka. I-US ilandele imodeli yase-Israeli yamaphoyisa asekhaya, ukusetshenziswa kwe-drone, ukubulawa, nenkulumo-ze, kanye nokuhola kuka-Israyeli maqondana ne-Iraq, iSyria ne-Iran. Njengoba ezempi zaseMelika ziqhubekela phambili ekuphatheni umhlaba njengoba u-Israyeli ephatha iGaza, ikusasa lomhlaba liya ngokuya lingabazeka. Futhi akukho okuncane okuphakamisayo ukuthi abaseMelika bazophikisana nezenzo ezenziwa nguhulumeni wabo ngoba nje phambilini baphikisana nalezo zenzo zikahulumeni wakwa-Israyeli.
