“Ngincenga umhlaba wonke: yekani zonke izimpi, yekani ukubulala abantu, yekani ukubulala izingane. Impi ayilona ikhambi. . . .Impi akuyona indlela olungisa ngayo izinto. Leli zwe, Israyeli, libhekene nokwesaba. Futhi ngiyazi ukuthi omama baseGaza babhekene nokwesaba. . . .”
Sengikwazi ukuguqa nje ngokwesaba.
Yebo, kukhona ukuhluzeka kwengqondo emhlabeni - ukuhluzeka kokuziphatha - ngisho, futhi ikakhulukazi, manje, njengoba impindiselo idlangile kwa-Israyeli, inikezwa izikhali zaseMelika. Kunamaphimbo anesibindi abiza hhayi nje “ukuthula,” okuqondwa kakhulu yizwe lonke njengesenzo sokuqeda impi, kodwa ethi, Nkulunkulu wami, ububele, ukuphulukiswa, uthando. “Isitha” singumuntu njengathi! Futhi ukulwa nesitha akuqinisekisi lutho . . . impi engapheli.
Amagama angenhla yilawo ka UMikhal Haley, indodana yakhe ethandekayo eyabulawa uHamas, ekhala ku-video ye-Facebook: “Egameni lami, angifuni impindiselo.”
Mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu lapha ukuthi akayedwa. Abantu abaningi abanesibindi emhlabeni wonke bakhuluma ngokumelene nempi yamanje - ukuqothulwa kohlanga - kusukela emiphefumulweni yabo elimele, befuna ukuba uhlanga lwesintu lweqe ukuzibophezela kwaso odlameni, ukubusa nokuziphindiselela, okungenzi lutho ngaphandle kokuqhubekisela phambili ukubulawa kwabantu. Impi ilingana nokuzibulala.
Kuyayenga futhi kunenzuzo, futhi yakhelwe kwingqalasizinda yezwe yezwe. Kulula kakhulu: okuhle vs okubi. Kwenza ukulandisa okuhle, okuyinto abezindaba abaningi abazinikele kukho. Ukweqa umcabango wempi kudinga ukubhekana nokuphila ezingeni elijule kakhulu lenkimbinkimbi, ekuqaleni, mhlawumbe, ngokuqonda ukuthi sonke isintu kanye nakho konke ukuphila kuxhunyiwe. Abantu abaningi bayakwazi lokhu, kodwa i-psychology emnyama yokululaza - "okunye," ukudala isitha okufanele sisolwe ngezinkinga zethu -igcina indawo evelele emqondweni ohlangene.
Ukweqa lokhu kungase kube inselele enkulu esibhekene nayo. Okubalulekile ukukuqonda ukuthi le nselelo iyaqhubeka. Icala leNingizimu Afrika phambi kweNkantolo Yobulungisa Yomhlaba Wonke lokuthi i-Israel ibulala iPalestine ingesinye sezibonelo zalokhu.
As UCraig Mokhiber noPhyllis Bennis bhala: Icala “livule umfantu odongeni lokungajeziswa oseluneminyaka engu-75 ubudala lapho ukukhanya kwethemba sekuqalile ukukhanya. Uma imibhikisho yomhlaba wonke ingathatha isikhathi sokuguqula lowo mfantu ube ingosi ebanzi ebheke ebulungiswa, singase sibone nje ukuqala kokuziphendulela kwangempela kwabenzi bobubi, ukulungisa izisulu, nokunaka izimbangela zodlame ebezinganakiwe isikhathi eside: i-settler-colonialism, umsebenzi, ukungalingani kanye nobandlululo.”
Kodwa inselelo yaseNingizimu Afrika iyingxenye kuphela yentukuthelo yomhlaba wonke emelene nempi yakwa-Israyeli ePalestine – futhi inselele ingaphezu kokumane nje kumiswe ukulwa. Kuphinde kukhalelwe ukweqa. Ngokwesibonelo:
“Siyakugxeka ukuhlaselwa kwakamuva kwezakhamizi zakwa-Israel kanye nezasePalestine futhi sikhalela ukubulawa kwabantu okubuhlungu kanje. Osizini lwethu, sishaqekile ukubona impi yokulwa nenkolo ihlonyiswa njengezaba zobugebengu bempi ngenhloso yokucekela phansi isizwe.”
Lokhu kuvela ku- incwadi evulekile emhlabeni, esayinwe izinkulungwane ezimbalwa zababhali abangamaJuda, abaculi kanye nezishoshovu, bememezela ukuthi ukulahlwa kokubulawa kwabantu basePalestine kuphambene nokungahambisani nomthetho. Incwadi iyaqhubeka:
“Sithola leli qhinga lokukhuluma liphikisana nezindinganiso zamaJuda, ezisifundisa ukulungisa umhlaba, ukungabaza igunya, nokulwela abacindezelwe phezu komcindezeli. Kungenxa yomlando obuhlungu wokuphikisa kanye nezifundo zemibhalo yamaJuda esikhuthaza isithunzi nobukhosi babantu basePalestine. Siyenqaba ukukhetha okungamanga phakathi kokuphepha kwamaJuda nenkululeko yasePalestine; phakathi kobunikazi bamaJuda kanye nokuqeda ukucindezelwa kwamaPalestine. Eqinisweni, sikholelwa ukuthi amalungelo amaJuda namaPalestine ayahambisana. Ukuphepha kwabantu ngabanye kuncike komunye.”
O Nkulunkulu wami, nakhu okubalulekile: ukumiswa kokuchithwa kwenkolo ezimisweni zayo ezijulile futhi iguqule ibe umdlalo wokubusa. Inkolo yami ingcono kuneyakho! Sisesigabeni sokuba khona kwethu lapho kufanele siqale ukuqeda inzondo nokwesaba kwethu futhi sibhekane nekusasa - ungase uthi - ububele obunamandla. Kufanele siqale Ukuphila izimiso zethu ezijulile, hhayi nje “ukuzivikela”. Lokhu kuwukuziphatha kahle.
Futhi amazwi abantu abasho lokhu ngesibindi esicacile yilabo abalinyazwe, noma abashonelwe abathandekayo babo, ukusangana kokuziphatha okuqhubeka nokunqamula inqwaba emhlabeni wethu.
Nali elinye izwi elinjalo, elinye kwabaningi abacashunwe ngu-Orly Noy in +972 Umagazini. Amazwi ashiwo nguMaoz Inon, abazali bakhe babulawa ngo-October 7 ukuhlasela kweHamas: “Abazali bami babengabantu bokuthula. . . . Ukuziphindiselela ngeke kubabuyisele ekuphileni abazali bami. Ngeke kubuyise amanye ama-Israel namaPalestine abulewe. Izokwenza okuphambene. . . . Kufanele siwuqede lo mjikelezo.”
Yebo, yebo, yebo! Ngiyacela, ngiyacela! Sekuyisikhathi sokunqamula umjikelezo. Ngikhuluma la mazwi kuJoe Biden, kanye nawo wonke umuntu. Akwanele ukutshela u-Israyeli ukuthi "aqaphele" lapho esebenzisa amabhomu ethu, ukuze azame ukugwema ukubulala (amaningi kakhulu) izingane.
Sekuyisikhathi sokunqamula umjikelezo. Lokho kusho ukuphila izindinganiso zethu, singazideleli. Lokho kusho ukuyeka ukulwa.
