Umthombo: I-Pepper ebomvu

Impendulo yaseNtshona kuhlaselo lwase-Russia kunye nohlaselo olukhohlakeleyo e-Ukraine lumele utshintsho olunzulu lwengxoxo yezopolitiko xa kuziwa kwizimvo malunga nokukwaywa, ukwahlula kunye nezohlwayo njengezixhobo ekufuneka zisetyenziswe ngokuchasene namazwe ngokwaphula umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe. Inqanaba lenkuthazo elingazange libonwe ngaphambili linikezelwa kuluntu, imibutho yoluntu, imibutho yenkcubeko nemidlalo kunye nabantu ngabanye ukuba bahlukane kwaye bahlukane neRashiya. Ngelixa ngaphambili ibigcinwe njengenxalenye yendawo yokugcina izixhobo zelizwe, elizanga lomanyano lwezopolitiko noqoqosho luyakhuthazwa ngeengxoxo ezintathu eziphambili. Okokuqala, yimpendulo kwisicelo esithe ngqo esivela kwixhoba. Okwesibini, yeyona ndlela inamandla yokubeka uxinzelelo olungenabundlobongela. Kwaye okwesithathu, ukungenzi nto kukubandakanyeka - njengoko kuchazwe kakuhle yinkqubo edumileyo ka-Archbishop Desmond Tutu: 'ukuba awuthathi cala kwiimeko zokungabikho kobulungisa, ukhethe icala lomcinezeli.'

Siva ukuba zisetyenziswe e-Ukraine rhoqo ngenxa yokuba zichanekile, iingxoxo zokuziphatha ezaphuhliswa kwiminyaka eyadlulayo kwiphulo lasePalestina le-Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). Siyaqonda ngokusondeleyo iphupha elibi lase-Ukraine elithe langena kulo ngequbuliso, kwaye kuyasivuyisa ukubona imigaqo yomanyano oludumileyo lwezoqoqosho ibonakaliswa ekugqibeleni. Kangangeminyaka, abantu basePalestine kunye namahlakani abo basebenze ngokuchasene nokonyusa iinzame zikarhulumente zokukhawulela olu hlobo lobumbano, ukusuka ekugxothweni ukuya kwidemon ukuya ekuphumeni ngokusemthethweni - ke ukuguqulwa kwequbuliso kuye kwaba neentloni.

Ukuphendula kwamazwe ngamazwe

Cinga ngokuhlala kukaSirayeli kwi-West Bank, i-East Jerusalem kunye ne-Gaza - zonke zithathwa njengezingekho mthethweni phantsi komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, zigwetyiwe ngokusemthethweni kwimigaqo-nkqubo yamazwe angaphandle yaseNtshona, kwaye kunjalo, ayikukuphela nje ukuba umkhosi omde wehlabathi wanamhlanje wamkelwa njengento engekho mthethweni engapheliyo, uyakhuselwa. ukusuka kuxanduva lokuphendula kwibala lamazwe ngamazwe.

Yiyo loo nto, ngo-2005, uluntu lwasePalestine lwaphehlelela uMbutho wokuBonelwa, ukuDivestment kunye neSanctions. Ngelixa izohlwayo zisengummandla wabathathi-nxaxheba bakarhulumente, amandla ekhwelo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ebesekuvuselelweni koluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe, oluthe ngokuthe ngcembe lwakha uxinzelelo kwiinkampani nakwimibutho yoluntu ebandakanyekayo kulo msebenzi. Namhlanje e-UK, zonke iimanyano zabasebenzi ezinkulu zimanyene nePalestine Solidarity Campaign, kwaye zinemigaqo-nkqubo evuma ukubizwa kwe-BDS.

I-Israel ichonga esidlangalaleni i-BDS njengesoyikiso esikhulu sobuchule kwaye yenza izixhobo ezibalulekileyo, kwihlabathi jikelele, ukuzama ukwahlula unobangela wePalestine kwinkqubela phambili. Oorhulumente baseNtshona, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, bebengamahlakani avumayo.

Into efunwa ngabantu basePalestine ihlala ifana - hayi ukuba u-Israyeli aphathwe ngokukodwa, kodwa ukuba unyango olukhethekileyo lukaSirayeli lupheliswe.

Amashumi amathathu anesihlanu aseMelika bapasise imithetho ejolise ekuthinteleni ukwayikwa okanye ukwahlukaniswa kweenkampani ezibandakanyeka kulawulo lukaSirayeli, imithetho etyhalwa ngamandla ngamaqela afana neAmerican Israel Public Affairs Committee. Imithetho efanayo kunye nezisombululo ziye zapasiswa kumazwe aseYurophu - ngakumbi EJamani naseOstriya.

Apha e-UK, urhulumente wazama ukwazisa umthetho wokuthintela i-Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS) ekubeni ikwazi ukuphuma kwiinkampani ezibandakanyekayo kodwa yathintelwa ngumceli mngeni oyimpumelelo wezomthetho wethu kwiPalestine Solidarity Campaign eyathi. yaya kutsho kwiNkundla Ephakamileyo. Ngoku, kwenziwa iinzame ezintsha kunye nolungiso olufanayo kumthetho omtsha womhlalaphantsi zityhalwe kwiCommons ngoFebruwari, i-salvo yokuvula ngaphambi kokuqaliswa okulindelweyo komthetho ochasene ne-BDS obanzi ngoMeyi.

Imigangatho emibini

Iingxoxo ezisetyenzisiweyo ukuthethelela imfuno yalo mthetho oyilwayo kunye nokugunyazisa intshukumo ye-BDS ekhokelwa yiPalestine idla ngokuza kwiindlela ezintathu. Okokuqala ichasene ne-Semitic kuba ijolise kuSirayeli kwaye ayifuni manyathelo kwamanye amazwe. Okwesibini, ikhuthaza iyantlukwano hayi uxolo kwaye okwesithathu, luxanduva loorhulumente, hayi imibutho yoluntu, iinkampani okanye abantu, ukwenza izigqibo malunga nokuba yeyiphi na imimandla efuna ukuphendula.

Thina, ngokufanelekileyo, asithandabuzi ukuba kutheni abantu base-Ukrainian begxile kwisidingo sokukwaya iRussia, hayi amanye amazwe - abatyholwa nge-Russophobia, okanye ngokungahoyi i-Uighurs eTshayina. Kwaye abantu baseUkraine abatyholwa ngokukhuthaza iyantlukwano, endaweni yokusebenzela uxolo ngokuhlanganisa amacala amabini alwayo ukuze kuxoxwe. Ngaphaya koko, ayisiyiyo nje ingxoxo eyenziwayo yokuba amaqumrhu oluntu kufuneka ashiye amanyathelo okuphendula kurhulumente, kodwa imibutho enjalo kunye nabadlali ababanzi bayakhuthazwa ukuba benze indima yabo yokwahlula iRussia. Kwakwiveki enye apho isihlomelo somthetho wepenshini sapasiswa kunye nombhali wawo esithi amagosa akwinkqubo yepenshini akufuneki athathe uxanduva lokuthatha izigqibo zokuqhawula imali ngokunxulumene namazwe angaphandle, uMichael Gove ubhalele kwaezi zicwangciso zinye ebacebisa ngelungelo noxanduva lwabo. ukuthatha ezabo izigqibo zokuziphatha malunga nokuphuma kwiinkampani ezibandakanyekayo ekuxhaseni uhlaselo lwaseRussia.

Iminxeba ye-BDS ngokunxulumene neRussia iye yanda kakhulu ngaphaya koorhulumente kunye nemibutho yoluntu, njengoko phantse lonke icandelo loluntu likhuthazwa ukuba lenze indima yalo yokwahlula iRussia. Kwezemidlalo, Abadlali baseRussia kunye nemibutho bayavalwa, i-Champions League yokugqibela iye yaba isusiwe eSt Petersburg, Iimbaleki zaseRashiya ziye zaba uthintelwe kwiParalympics, kwaye iiflegi zaseUkraine zikho kuyo yonke indawo. Xa i-Egyptian squash intshatsheli u-Ali Farag waye ucele ukuphawula malunga neUkraine, wathi: 'Asizange sivunyelwe ukuthetha ngezopolitiko kwimidlalo, kodwa ngequbuliso ngoku kuvunyelwe. Kwaye ngoku ivunyelwe ndiyathemba ukuba abantu bajonge ingcinezelo kuyo yonke indawo emhlabeni. Abantu basePalestine bebehamba kuloo nto kule minyaka ingama-74 idlulileyo, kodwa ndiyaqikelela kuba ayihambelani nengxelo yeendaba zaseNtshona, asikwazanga ukuthetha ngayo. Ngoko ngoku sinokuthetha ngeUkraine, sinokuthetha ngePalestina.'

Ukuthobela, hayi isazisi

Njengoko uYousef Munayyer echaza kwi inqaku lakutshanje kwiJewish Currents, iingxabano ezisetyenziselwa ukukhanyela ukufaneleka kwe-Palestinian call ye-BDS, ukuba ijolise kwisazisi kwaye ingahambelani, ayizange isetyenziswe ngokumalunga neRashiya. I-irony, njengoko u-Munnayer ebonisa, kukuba ukuziphatha kunye neqhinga eliphuhliswe yi-Palestinian BDS movement yiyona nto ilahlekileyo ngeli xesha. Ukujoliswa ngokungakhethiyo kwazo zonke izinto zaseRussia zibone iivenkile zaseRussia zonakaliswa, iDostoevsky ivaliwe, iibhotile zevodka zilahliwe ngokungenanjongo. Intshukumo ye-BDS, kwelinye icala, inononophelo ekujoliseni ukuhambelana kuphela kwaye hayi isazisi okanye abantu.

Xa obu buhanahanisi kunye nomgangatho ophindwe kabini bubuzwa, njengoko kwakunjalo kwipalamente nguJulie Elliot MP, impendulo kukukhanyela ukufaneleka kokuthelekisa izenzo zaseRashiya kunye nezo zakwaSirayeli. U-Israyeli, kule ngxoxo, yidemokhrasi ekhululekileyo, ejongene nomsebenzi onengxaki, kodwa lowo ujonge ukuba ngowexeshana. Lo mbono ubonakala ungenakwenzeka ngenxa yokukhula kwemvumelwano kuluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe malunga nohlobo lokwenene lolawulo lwengcinezelo lukaSirayeli. Kule veki iphelileyo uMthetheleli oKhethekileyo we-UN, uMichael Lynk, kwingxelo eyothusayo, wabhala ukuba umsebenzi wamaSirayeli owawuneminyaka engama-55 ubudala kudala watyhubela izithintelo zokwexeshana. Iye yazibandakanya ngokuqhubekayo kwi-de jure kunye ne-de facto eyongeziweyo kwindawo ekuyo kuyo. Igxininisa ukuba imithetho yokusebenza kunye namalungelo oluntu ayisebenzi kulawulo lwayo. Kwaye izibakala zayo eziya zisanda emhlabeni ziye zacima amathemba aseleyo kwilizwe lokwenene lasePalestina. Kuye kwavela i-oxymoron esemthethweni: umsebenzi ongunaphakade.' Umphandi we-UN uyaqhubeka ukujoyina uluntu lwasePalestina, B'Tselem, Human Rights Watch kwaye Amnesty International ekugwebeni uSirayeli ukuba wenza ulwaphulo-mthetho eluntwini localucalulo.

Ngelixa ungaze ujongele phantsi amandla ezopolitiko aphakamileyo okugcina imigangatho ephindwe kabini, alinakuphikiswa ukuba utshintsho kwingxoxo yezopolitiko malunga nokufaneleka kwe-BDS njengeqhinga kuya kwenza kube nzima kakhulu ku-Israyeli kunye namahlakani akhe ukugcina iqumrhu elipheleleyo leengxelo zobuxoki ezisetyenziswayo. khusela urhulumente ekuphenduleni. Ngokomzekelo, khawucinge ngamandla amaqumrhu ezemidlalo ukuze axhase umgca wezobupolitika nezemidlalo ezimele zihlale zahlukene njengekhaka lokuthintela ukuphathwa kakubi kukaSirayeli. Oko abantu basePalestina babizayo kuhlala kufana - kungekhona ukuba u-Israyeli aphathwe ngokukodwa, kodwa ukuba unyango olukhethekileyo lwakwaSirayeli lupheliswe, kunye nemigaqo yokuhlonipha umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe kunye namalungelo oluntu ukuba asetyenziswe ngokuqhubekayo.

Abantu base-Ukraniya phantsi kohlaselo olungekho mthethweni kunye nokuhlala bafanelwe yinkxaso kunye nomanyano - kungekhona ngenxa yokuba iNtshona ibathatha njengamahlakani okanye ngenxa yombala wolusu lwabo, kodwa ngenxa yokuba imigaqo yamalungelo, ubulungisa kunye nentlonipho yomthetho ifuna ubumbano. Bonke abo amalungelo abo anyhashwayo, kuquka namaPalestina, bafanelwe ngokufanayo.
