Tangoganizirani nkhani zofalitsa nkhani zomwe zikanatiyembekezera m'manyuzipepala athu akumaloko komanso dziko lonse lapansi, zidziwitso zathu zawailesi, Facebook, twitter ndi wailesi yakanema komanso nkhani zapadera zikadapha Iran kapena dziko lina la 'mdani' - ndipo nthawi zina kuphedwa — 9 kapena kupitilira apo Israeli kapena Omenyera mtendere achiyuda aku America akukwera chombo cha Turkey (ndipo chifukwa chake ndi mnzake wa NATO). Bwanji ngati ngalawayo inkatsogolera gulu la anthu 700 opanda zida m’ngalawamo zodzaza ndi chithandizo kwa akaidi achiyuda andale zadziko miliyoni ndi theka amene anagwidwa ndi mtunduwo pazinenezo zabodza ndi zoipa za ‘chitetezo cha dziko’?

Tangoganizani, pambuyo pa zochitikazi, Purezidenti Obama adakana popanda ndemanga pempho loti akalankhule nkhani yayikulu ku AIPAC, malo olandirira anthu aku US omwe ali ndi chidwi kwambiri ndi Israeli, pomwe Ayuda ndi owatsatira awo ochokera ku United States adapita ku Washington DC kukachita msonkhano wa AIPAC. chochitika chofunika kwambiri pachaka - chomwe chinagwirizana ndi chikumbutso cha 30 cha kukhazikitsidwa kwake? Kugwa kwandale chifukwa cha kulakwa koteroko kukanayambitsa mikangano.

Zachidziwikire, palibe chomwe chidachitika chifukwa zomwe zidachitikazo zidakhudza kuphedwa kwa omenyera ufulu wa 9 Turkey-Muslim (mmodzi wokhala nzika yaku America) omwe adakwera zombo zapamadzi m'malo mwa Gaza Freedom Movement, gulu lomwe lidakonzedwa ndikuphatikizidwa ndi nzika zochokera kuzungulira. dziko, kuphatikizapo Israel, kunyansidwa ndi chilakolako, gutless mayankho a maboma awo kwa zaka zoposa theka la kulandidwa, kuthamangitsidwa, kuba, nkhanza ndi kupha Aarabu ndi Asilamu kuchokera, kapena kuthandizira, Palestine. Poyang'anizana ndi "chiwopsezo" chomwe chayandikira chofuna kusiya kuzinga ndi kutsekereza Gaza mosaloledwa - ndipo mwina kuyambira pamenepo ayamba kugwetsa zombo zake polola zombo zothandizira kulowa - Israeli adagwiritsa ntchito mwayiwo kuyimitsa flotilla m'madzi apadziko lonse lapansi ndikuwononga ngalawayo. kuchuluka kwa mphamvu zomwe zili nazo. Potengera izi zachiwawa komanso zosagwirizana ndi malamulo komanso zosagwirizana ndi misala, Israeli idanenanso zabodza komanso zabodza kuti idakakamizidwa kugwiritsa ntchito 'kudzitchinjiriza' motsutsana ndi zigawenga zogwirizana ndi al-Qaeda panyanja zazitali. Panthawiyo ngakhale ena mwa omenyera ufulu a Israeli anali atayamba kudandaula.

Pa chakudya chamadzulo cha Komiti Yotsutsana ndi Tsankho la Arab-American (ADC) Loweruka usiku, June 5, 2010, womenyera ufulu wanthawi yayitali waku Lebanon ndi America (m'malo mwa anthu aku America) komanso yemwe kale anali wopikisana nawo Purezidenti Ralph Nader adapereka nkhani yofunikira kwa ena. 800 anthu. Ali mkati mwa zolankhula zake, Nader adafotokoza mopepesa kuti adafunsidwa mphindi yomaliza kuti "azitsina" kwa Barack Obama yemwe amayenera kulankhula nawo pamsonkhano madzulo amenewo. Achiarabu aku America, kuphatikiza alendo ambiri odziwika, sanali anthu okhawo omwe anali mchipindamo omwe anali ndi nsidze chifukwa chosowa kwa Obama.

Olemekezeka kuphatikiza akazembe ochokera kudera lonse la Arabu adawonanso, makamaka kutengera nthawi, zikubwera monga momwe zidakhalira patangotha ​​​​sabata imodzi kuchokera pamene Israeli adaukira Mavi Marmara. M'malo mwake, tsiku lomwelo kuukira kwina kopanda lamulo kwa Israeli kunakakamiza sitima yapamadzi yaku Ireland, MV Rachel Corrie, kusiya ntchito yake yopita ku Gaza ndikukafika padoko la Israeli la Ashdod ndi matani ake a 7,500 othandizira anthu. Nditafunsa Dr. Safa Rifka, Wapampando wa ADC's Board of Directors, ngati angatsimikizire kuti Purezidenti Obama adaitanidwa kuti alankhule ndi anthu madzulo amenewo, Rifka adayankha mwachipongwe kuti, "Mtheradi; ndipo mutha kutchulanso dzina langa. ." Ananenanso kuti iye mwini adatumiza pempholi ndipo Obama sanavutike kuyankha.

Mwamwayi, panalibe kuphana mu MV Rachel Corrie, bwato lotchedwa MV Rachel Corrie, bwato lotchedwa munthu wazaka makumi awiri ndi zitatu zakubadwa waku America yemwe adaphwanyidwa mpaka kufa ndi mfuti yankhondo ya D-9 Caterpillar Bulldozer pa Marichi 16, 2003, pomwe amayesa kuiletsa kuti isagwetse ina. Nyumba ya Palestina. (Anthu oposa 17,000 ochokera ku Rafah, Gaza, adakhala othawa kwawo kawiri ndi katatu chifukwa cha lamulo la Israeli lakugwetsa nyumba m'mphepete mwa Philadelphi Corridor pafupi ndi malire a Aigupto.) Corrie ankavala vest yamoto wa lalanje ndipo ankanyamula nyanga ya lalanje dalaivala wa bulldozer anamutsekera pansi pa dothi n’kuyendetsa pathupi lake kawiri, n’kumuthyola msana atangotsala pang’ono kufa.

Mosadabwitsa kuti US idakakamirabe kuti kafukufuku wodziyimira pawokha pa imfa ya Rachel Corrie achitike. Ngakhale US sanavomereze ngakhale kafukufuku wochepa wodziyimira pawokha pakuwukira kwa Israeli ku Gaza mu Disembala-Januware 2008-9, Lipoti la Goldstone. 'Operation Cast Lead' inali chisonyezero chenicheni cha 'upandu waukulu wapadziko lonse' waukali ndipo uyenera kuchititsa kuti olakwirawo amangidwe ndi kutsekeredwa m'ndende chifukwa cha milandu yankhondo ku Khoti Lachilungamo Ladziko Lonse ku Hague; koma ndithudi, sizinatero. Chifukwa chake, siziyenera kudabwitsa kuti oimira US adayimiliranso okha ku United Nations sabata yatha atangophedwa kumene ku Gaza Freedom Flotilla, akutsutsa kuti Israeli iyenera kuloledwa kufufuza zachiwawa zake zaposachedwa komanso kupha munthu payekha.

Achiarabu ndi Asilamu aku America sadabwe kuti zigawenga zomwe zimalimbana ndi anthu awo kuno kapena kutsidya kwa nyanja sizifuna chisamaliro chapadera kapena nkhawa muulamuliro uliwonse waku US. Kunyoza kwa Obama kwa ADC kunachitika patatha chaka chimodzi kuchokera pamene anthu ambiri adalankhula ku Cairo, Egypt, pomwe adalonjeza kusintha kwa mfundo zachilendo za US ku Middle East ndi mayiko achisilamu zimangosonyeza chinyengo ndi kuyankhula kawiri pa zomwe amakhulupirira.

Chomwe chimasiyanitsa mfundo zakunja za kayendetsedwe ka Obama ku Middle East ndi za Bush Administration ndi zomwe zisanachitike ndizomwe zimafotokozera kupitiliza kwake. Izi ndizokhumudwitsa - komanso zowopsa - kwa aliyense amene akuyembekeza kuti mayankho opanda chiwawa komanso kutsatira malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi apambana.

Monga momwe United States 'imadzitetezera' kuchokera ku zowonongeka zomwe zimatchedwabe Iraq; monga chimalepheretsa kuukira ‘njira yathu ya moyo’ mwa kuwononga moyo weniweniwo ku Afghanistan; pamene ikuvutitsa mayiko ena padziko lonse lapansi kuti aike zilango ku Iran, yomwe idasaina Pangano la Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) mosiyana ndi kasitomala wake, Israel; pamene ikutsanulira mabiliyoni a madola aku US omwe akufunikira mwamsanga kuti apange mapulogalamu apakhomo pakupanga, kukonza ndi kugwiritsa ntchito zida zake zazikuluzikulu za zida zowonongeka ndikuchotsa mapangano a chipani chachitatu pofuna kuteteza zoopsa za nkhondo yachitatu yapadziko lonse. , palibe chifukwa choganizira kuti idzalamulira ndondomeko zochititsa manyazi za Israyeli.

Monga woyang'anira wake waku US, Israeli ikupitiliza kulimbikitsa ziwawa zapadziko lonse lapansi - ngakhale izi zikutanthauza kupha nzika zamayiko ogwirizana ndi US chifukwa chokana kupenga kwake. Pamene ndale za US, akatswiri ndi olankhula atolankhani akuyamikira Israeli ndi mayunitsi ake apadera a Naval Commando chifukwa chomenya sitima yapamadzi ya NATO yonyamula anthu olimbikitsa mtendere a 700 atatopa komanso manyazi chifukwa chakukhala chete kwapadziko lonse chifukwa cha kuwonongeka koopsa kwa dziko, chikhalidwe ndi kudziwika kwa Palestina, Arab. -Anthu aku America si gulu lokhalo la anthu omwe ayenera kudwala komanso kuda nkhawa.
