Umbutho wobumbano wasePalestina wenze iinzuzo ezibalulekileyo ukususela ekuqaleni kwe-Second Palestinian Intifada ngoSeptemba 2000. Kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo, isizukulwana esitsha samatsha-ntliziyo omanyano lwasePalestina siye sahlanganisana ezitalatweni, kwiikhampasi nakwizikolo ezikuMntla Melika. Phakathi kweentshukumo zasekhohlo nezinenkqubela, kukho ulwamkelo olubanzi lwesindululo sokuba umgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle wase-US kuMbindi Mpuma usekwe kwinkxaso kuSirayeli ‘njengelizwe lobukoloniyali-lokuhlala’, ukutsalela phezu kwesihloko somsebenzi wakudala kaMaxime Rodinson. Yonke intshukumo enkulu echasene nemfazwe yase-Iraq ibone umzabalazo wasePalestine ubekwe phambili ekuchaseni umatshini wemfazwe wase-US, kwaye uninzi lwabaphembeleli abatsha kulo mbutho baziswa kumzabalazo wasePalestina kunye nembali ngembono echasene neZionist.

Le yimpumelelo engazange ibonwe ngaphambili. Ukutyhubela isiqingatha sesibini senkulungwane yama-20, imibutho engqongqo nenenkqubela kumazwe ahambele phambili yobukapitali ngokuqhelekileyo ayizange ivume ukuxhasa inkululeko yasePalestina. Imibutho yamaZiyoni yayisebenza kwiintshukumo ezichasene neMfazwe yaseVietnam, ucalucalulo lwaseMzantsi Afrika, kunye nezinye izizathu eziqhubekayo. Umanyano lwasePalestina lwaluselunxwemeni kwimizabalazo emikhulu yenyambalala eyenzeka kwisiqingatha sokugqibela senkulungwane yama-20, kwaye ekhohlo lalidla ngokubonakala ‘kwisimo seZionist esinenkqubela.

Ngelixa intshukumo yeZionist ihlala ixhaswa kakhulu ngemali kwaye ilawula ushicilelo oluqhelekileyo kukho kwakhona utshintsho olubalulekileyo kulo mba. I-Zionism iye yazibonakalisa njengombutho wezopolitiko ohambelana ngokupheleleyo nemigaqo-nkqubo ye-pro-imperial yolawulo lwase-US ngendlela evulekileyo yobuhlanga kunye ne-anti-inkululeko. Kukho izinto ezininzi ezibonisa oku ngaphaya kwemigaqo-nkqubo karhulumente wakwaSirayeli. Kuwo wonke uMntla Merika, amaqela abafundi beZionist amema ngokuphandle abameli beCIA, iSebe lezoKhuselo lase-US, kunye neCanada yoKhuseleko kunye neeNkonzo zobuNhloli ukuba bathethe kwiintlanganiso abazixhasayo. Ukuzingelwa kwamagqwirha ngokuchasene nezifundiswa kunye namatshantliziyo anenkqubela kukhokelwa yimbumba yeentatheli zeneo-conservative, izifundiswa, kunye namaqela ocinga ngamaZiyoni afana neProjekthi kaDavid kunye noDaniel Pipes' Campus Watch. Imibhobho ithethelela ngokucacileyo ukuba izifundiswa zase-US kufuneka zisebenze ukuze zikhonze iimfuno zomgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle wase-US; okokuqala nokuphambili, ukukhuselwa kukaSirayeli.

Umlinganiswa oxhasa ama-impiriyali wombutho wamaZiyoni ube nefuthe kwisakhono sabo sokuhlanganisa abafundi kwiikhampasi zaseyunivesithi. Ngelixa abaququzeleli babo abahlawulwayo besebenza abakwazi ukuphumelela ukuviwa okubalulekileyo phakathi kwabafundi kwaye abanakukwazi ukwenza ukufikelela okusebenzayo emhlabeni. Suku ngalunye luzisa iindaba zamalinge kwihlabathi liphela okwahlula ilizwe lakwa-Israel ngokukwaywa, ukugxothwa, kunye nezohlwayo. I-propaganda ye-Zionist isabela ngakumbi kwimikhankaso yombutho wobumbano wasePalestina, kwaye ukufundwa ngokukhawuleza kwe-Zionist press kubonisa uloyiko olubanzi lokuba balahlekelwa ngumlo weengcamango ngendlela engazange ibonwe ngaphambili.

Ukufudukela kwi-2006, nangona kunjalo, kucacile ukuba intshukumo yobumbano yasePalestina nayo ijongene nemingeni ebalulekileyo kwixesha elizayo. Kwezinye izixeko kuwo wonke uMntla Merika, abaphembeleli basePalestina baye baphelelwa ngamandla ngenxa yokutshintsha komhlaba. Ukwenziwa ngokwesiqhelo kwe-Intifada kunye nokubonakala kungenakuthintelwa kodonga localucalulo lwakwaSirayeli kuye kwakhokelela ekudimazekeni okuthile kunye nokulahleka kokugxila. Abasebenzi badidekile malunga nendlela yokuphendula kwimeko entsha emva kokuphumelela kwe-Hamas kunyulo lweBhunga le-Palestine Legislative Council. Injongo yeli nqaku kukuseka i-balance sheet ye-solidarity movement eMntla Melika kunye nokuqalisa ingxoxo yokuba ungaya phi na.

Imeko yezopolitiko yangoku

Utshintsho olukhulu lwenzekile ngoloyiso olukhulu lweHamas kunyulo lweBhunga leLegislative yasePalestine ngoJanuwari 25, 2006. Ivoti edumileyo yeHamas yayikukukhatywa kwenkqubo yothethathethwano olubi olwalandela ukutyikitywa kweSivumelwano sase-Oslo ngo-1993. Amazwi angenakubalwa aye agxeka i-Oslo Accords njenge-fig-leaf ye-colonization eqhubekayo ye-West Bank kunye ne-Gaza Strip, kude neenjongo eziqinisekisiweyo zelizwe lasePalestina elizimeleyo ngokwenene. Phantsi kothethathethwano ‘loxolo,’ uSirayeli waqhubeka erhangqa yaye ekhetha iidolophu needolophana zasePalestina ezinothungelwano lweendawo zokuhlala, iindlela ezidlulayo, neendawo zokuhlola.

Umkhosi wamaSirayeli wawulawula ukuhamba kwePalestina ngenkqubo enzima yeemvume kunye nezithintelo zokuhamba. Ezi ziqithi zakwanti zanikwa imigibe yokuzimela kodwa ulawulo olusebenzayo lwahlala lusezandleni zelizwe lakwaSirayeli. I-Oslo (kunye nezivumelwano ezalandelayo) ezijolise ekubeni abantu basePalestine babe namapolisa ngokwabo ngelixa bevumela uSirayeli ukuba enze nzulu le nkqubo yocalucalulo. ‘Uxolo’ lusebenze njengendawo yeendaba ukufihla isicwangciso socalucalulo.

Uloyiso lukaHamas luyisimangalo esichukumisayo sale nto ibizwa ngokuba 'yinkqubo yoxolo.' Ikhuthazwa ngobuqhetseba ngamabom oorhulumente baseNtshona kunye neendaba zenkampani, intsomi yeengxoxo zabelwa ngokupheleleyo ngobunkokeli bePalestine Authority (PA), ininzi. ingakumbi ngabantu abafana noMongameli wasePalestine u-Abu Mazen kunye neNkulumbuso u-Abu Ala. Ngokwenene, ngokukhawuleza ngaphambi konyulo lweBhunga lezoMthetho, inkokeli yeHamas uKhaled Mishaal yabonisa ukuba ‘uvavanyo lweminyaka engamashumi amahlanu olwasifundisa le ndlela lwalulilize’ yaye iHamas yayingayi kuqhubeka ikhohlisa abantu basePalestina ngale ‘ntsomi yezobupolitika.’

Ukuba i-Hamas yenza okulungileyo kwisithembiso sayo sokungazinzisi ezi zakhiwo zokuhlala, oku kuya kuba ngumqobo omkhulu kwi-Israel kunye ne-US enomdla kulo mmandla. Le meko, nangona kunjalo, iyasilela ukulula ngenxa yothungelwano lwe-labyrinthine lwamaqela kunye nezinto ezinomdla ezibekwe kuzo zonke izixhobo ze-PA. IBhunga loWiso-mthetho ngumzimba obuthathaka kwaye amandla amakhulu ngokusemthethweni ahlala ezandleni zika-Abu Mazen kunye ne-Ofisi kaMongameli. Imikhosi yezokhuseleko "ingakumbi isebe loKhuseleko loKhuseleko" lihlala lingumbutho okhokelwa yiFatah phantsi kolawulo lwegama lika-Abu Mazen. I-Hamas ngokwayo, ngokukodwa kwi-Gaza Strip, igcina inethiwekhi eyomeleleyo yeqela elixhobileyo.

Uninzi lwabahlalutyi luphakamise uloyiko lokuba iziphumo zolonyulo zinokuvakalisa impinda yamava e-Algeria ka-1991, apho uloyiso lolonyulo lombutho wamaSilamsi iFIS lwabhukuqwa lubhukuqo lomkhosi lweFLN olwaluxhaswa yiFN kwaye lwakhokelela kwimfazwe yamakhaya ixesha elide. Nawaphi na amava aphinda-phindwayo kumxholo wePalestine ngokungathandabuzekiyo ayakubona ukubandakanyeka komkhosi wase-Israel kunye nezixhobo zokhuseleko ekuxhokonxeni nasekugcineni imilo yangaphakathi exhobileyo. Akungabazeki ukuba i-Hamas iyayiqonda le ntsongelo, ngokuphindaphindiweyo ichaza ukuba ixhasa urhulumente wobumbano lwesizwe kwaye yenqaba ukutsalwa kwiingxabano ezixhobileyo kunye namanye amaqela asePalestina. Nangona kunjalo, inkxaso efihlakeleyo yakwaSirayeli yesiganeko esinjalo yinto yokwenyani kunye nekhonkrithi enokwenzeka.

Umbuzo obalulekileyo uya kuba yindlela i-Hamas elawula ngayo ukuchasana phakathi kokuzinikela kwayo kumzabalazo wesizwe kunye nokugcina izakhiwo ze-PA. Ukuxhomekeka kwezoqoqosho kwe-PA akuyi kunyamalala kunye noloyiso lwe-Hamas, nangona umlingiswa wezopolitiko wolu budlelwane benziwe ngokucacileyo ngokukrakra kunye nezisongelo ze-US kunye ne-EU ukusika inkxaso-mali. Kuhlala kubonakala ukuba i-Hamas ifumana enye imithombo yenkxaso, izama ukuphumeza uhlobo oluthile lokusasazwa kwakhona kobutyebi okanye isicwangciso sokuthembela okuthandwayo, okanye iqala ukucacisa kwakhona iipolitiki zayo ukuba zamkeleke ngakumbi kwiNtshona. Nangona okokugqibela kubonakala kungenakwenzeka kweli nqanaba, ngokuqinisekileyo akunakwenzeka ukuba imeko ihlale imile.

Oku kuphikisana akukona ukwenza kukaHamas kwaye ngokuchanekileyo sisiphumo sokuthintelwa kwesakhiwo esibekwe yinkqubo ye-Oslo / Apartheid. Indlela yodwa yokuphuma kwesi sibophelelo kukuqhawula kunye nombono wokuba umzabalazo wasePalestina ngokuyinhloko malunga nento eyenzekayo kwi-West Bank kunye neGaza Strip. Injongo yokuqonda inkqubo ye-Oslo yayikukunciphisa umzabalazo wasePalestina kwingxabano malunga neepesenti zomhlaba kwi-West Bank kunye nokuqhawula nayiphi na ikhonkco phakathi kwamaPalestina kwi-West Bank kunye ne-Gaza Strip, abo bahlala kwi-1948 yembali yasePalestina njengabemi base-Israel, kwaye abo bagxothelwe ngaphandle kwelizwe labo. Eyona nto yayiphambili koku yaba kukutshatyalaliswa koMbutho weNkululeko yasePalestine (PLO) njengombutho wenkululeko wesizwe kunye nokufakwa endaweni yawo liGunyaziwe lasePalestina iprojekthi yokwakha ‘umbuso’.

Ukusekwa kwe-PLO ngeminyaka yoo-1960 yayilinyathelo elibalulekileyo eliya phambili kumzabalazo wasePalestina njengoko lalimanyanisa isizwe sasePalestina esasisasazekile kwizizukulwana ezininzi kunye namazwe. Imfuno ye-bed-rock yalo mzabalazo yayililungelo lembuyekezo: ukunyanzelisa ukuba abantu basePalestina babe nelungelo lokubuyela kumakhaya abo nakwimihlaba ababegxothelwe kuyo. Uphawu oluphambili lwazo zonke iingxoxo ukususela e-Oslo yayilinge lokujongela phantsi le mfuno, ukunciphisa ukubuyisela okungokomfanekiso kwamawaka ambalwa asePalestina kwi-West Bank kunye ne-Gaza Strip. Nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kokuzimisela okuvulekileyo kwabantu abafana no-Abu Mazen ukuvuma kwiinzame ezinjalo, abantu basePalestine kwihlabathi liphela bahlala bemanyene emva kokubuyela ngokupheleleyo kwimbali yasePalestine. Okuphambili kutshintsho lwexesha elizayo kuya kuba yinto eyenzekayo kula maqumrhu esizwe asePalestina abanzi kunye nokuvuselelwa okunokwenzeka kwelungelo lokubuyela.

Uhlalutyo localucalulo

Ukuphela kwexesha lenkqubo ye-Oslo kunye nokuzama kwayo ukunciphisa 'umbuzo wasePalestina' kwiprojekthi yokwakha karhulumente kwi-West Bank kunye ne-Gaza Strip ivula amathuba amakhulu kwixesha elizayo. Ngokukodwa, isithuba siye savulwa ukuze kuhlaziywe uhlalutyo lukaSirayeli njengobukoloniyali, ilizwe labaphambukeli elisekelwe kwinkqubo yocalucalulo efana nocalucalulo lwaseMzantsi Afrika.

I-Israel lilizwe localucalulo hayi nje ngenxa yemigaqo-nkqubo eWest Bank naseGaza Strip. Ilizwe lakwaSirayeli lizichaza njengelizwe lamaJuda kwaye, ke ngoko, alinakuba lilizwe labo bonke abemi balo. Ngaphezulu kwe-90% ye-1948 ephantsi kwePalestina ngumhlaba kuphela abantu abangamaYuda abanokulawula okanye baphuhlise. Ubume bocalucalulo bucace gca kwasekusekweni kukaSirayeli. Oku kuboniswa sisibakala sokuba iimbacu zasePalestina zithintelwa ukuba zingabuyeli kumakhaya azo nakwimihlaba ezazigxothwe kuyo. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, nawuphi na umntu womnombo wamaJuda osuka naphina ehlabathini unokuba ngummi wakwaSirayeli phantsi koMthetho wokuBuyisa.

Olu hlalutyo localucalulo lubonelela ngeqhinga elinamandla kakhulu kumbutho wethu. Ibhuloho zonke iindawo zabantu basePalestina: abo bangabemi bakwaSirayeli, abo bahlala kwiWest Bank kunye neGaza Strip, kunye nabo baselubhacweni. Sisicwangciso esisekelwe kwilungelo lokubuyisela iimbacu zasePalestina kumakhaya nakwimihlaba yazo. Kwakhona kunengqiqo: ukulingana kwabo bonke kwilizwe lentando yesininzi kungakhathaliseki ukuba yinkolo okanye uhlanga.

Ikhonkco lohlalutyo kunye nocalucalulo lwaseMzantsi Afrika lunceda ukucacisa ubume bokwenyani beZionism njengeprojekthi yokusabela kunye nenkqubo yobukoloniyali. Amabango acwangcisiweyo okukwaya, ukugxothwa, kunye nezohlwayo esizibeke phambili zinceda ukubonisa ubudlelwane obunamandla phakathi koMntla Melika kunye nekomkhulu laseYurophu kunye nelizwe laseZionist. Sisenokwakhela phezu kwamava kunye nezifundo zombutho wangaphambili owawuchasene nocalucalulo.

Kukho ulwakhiwo olunamandla kwihlabathi jikelele lokwayiwa, ukugxothwa, kunye nezohlwayo (BDS). Ngomhla we-9 kaJulayi, i-2005 ikhwelo lenziwe yimibutho engaphezu kwe-170 yasePalestina ukuba isungule iphulo le-BDS yehlabathi. Iicawa kuMntla Merika ziye zaqalisa ukuphanda ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba ziqhekeke. ENorway, ibhunga lokuqala lephondo elamkela ugwayimbo localucalulo lwaseMzantsi Afrika kutsha nje lenze okufanayo ngokubhekiselele kuSirayeli. Imibutho engamashumi amabini eQuebec, kuquka i-Fédération des Femmes du Québec (FFQ) kunye nemanyano yephondo yootitshala be-CEGEP, baye bavuma iphulo elitsha lokuyeka iimveliso kunye neenkampani zakwa-Israel ezixhasa ucalucalulo lwase-Israel.

Umbutho weZionist uyaziqonda ngokupheleleyo iimpembelelo zale ntshukumo. KwiDyunivesithi yaseToronto, i-Arab Student Collective isandula kubamba iVeki yabo yesibini yonyaka yoCalucalulo yakwaSirayeli. Iveki ifumene usasazo olubanzi kunye namaqela axhasa iZionist afana noHillel, uBnai Brith, kunye neFriends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre baxinzelele ukuba igama elithi apartheid lisuswe kwigama lesiganeko. Ngokwamazwi ka-Avi Benlolo, umlawuli waseKhanada weFriends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, 'ukubona igama liya kubhalisa ezingqondweni zabafundi ukuba uSirayeli lilizwe localucalulo, kwaye ngumba lowo.'Ngo-2006, iVeki yocalucalulo yakwaSirayeli yaba ikwabanjelwe kwiYunivesithi yaseOxford, eMontreal, naseKitchener-Waterloo.

Umbutho wobumbano kunye nombutho wesizwe

Kubalulekile ukuzoba umahluko phakathi kwentshukumo yobumbano kunye nentshukumo yelizwe lasePalestine. Ngelixa la maphiko mabini enokuxhasana kwaye omelezana’” kwaye amanyathelo abheke phambili kwelinye icala aya kuqhubela phambili elinye’”ukwakha kwakhona intshukumo yelizwe lasePalestine ngumsebenzi wamaPalestina aselubhacweni, hayi owentshukumo yomanyano. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, ukuhlanganiswa kunye nokulungelelaniswa kwamaPalestina aselubhacweni kubaluleke kakhulu kwixesha langoku.

Kusoloko kukho ukubhideka okukhulu kule ngongoma. Amatshantliziyo eSolidarity ahlala ephawula ukuba ubomi bungalula kakhulu ukuba bekukho ‘i-ANC yasePalestine’ yokuchaza ngokucacileyo iinjongo kunye neqhinga lombutho wethu. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka sisebenze kunye nenyaniso ekhoyo. Amatshantliziyo obumbano angengowasePalestine akanakuthatha indawo yawo ngenxa yokunqongophala kobunkokeli basePalestina. Kodwa ukwakha intshukumo esebenzayo yobumbano ehlala izama ukwenza unxibelelwano namalinge asePalestina kunokutyhalela phambili kwaye kukhuthaze uhlengahlengiso lwentshukumo ebanzi yelizwe lasePalestine.

Isiginitsha ye-PLO kwiplani yocalucalulo yase-Oslo inike amaziko ombutho wesizwe (i-PLO kunye neBhunga leSizwe lasePalestine’”ipalamente yasePalestina elubhacweni) iqokobhe elingenanto. Ubunkokheli besizwe buziguqule baba yiPA; umgadi wentolongo yasePalestine Bantustans emele hayi ngaphezulu kwegcuntswana labasePalestine ngo-1967 iPalestine eyayibanjwe. Abagqugquzeli basePalestina kunye nabaququzeleli kufuneka baqonde ukubaluleka kokwakhiwa kwakhona kwamaziko ombutho wesizwe.

Oku kuthethiweyo, intshukumo yasePalestina yinxalenye yomzabalazo obanzi wokuchasana nama impiriyali kwaye ayinakwakhiwa yodwa kwiintshukumo ngaphakathi kuMntla Melika. Ubume bocalucalulo bakwaSirayeli bomelezwa ngendima yabo ekugcineni i-US hegemony kuMbindi Mpuma. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, ukuhluthwa kwabantu basePalestina ekugqibeleni kudibaniswa nesiphelo se-imperialism yase-US. Le yingcambu yenkcazo yokudibanisa okukhulayo phakathi kwe-imperialism yase-US kunye ne-Zionist movement eNyakatho Melika, kunye nokubonakaliswa kwayo okuchasene nentshukumo yokulwa nemfazwe. Kumazwe aqelelene njenge-Iraq neVenezuela, sibona ukuvela kwakhona kweentshukumo ezidumileyo kwihlabathi liphela. Le mizabalazo iqala ukuhlehlisa amandla ama impiriyali ase-US, kwaye umsebenzi wethu wobumbano wasePalestina kufuneka uqhubeke nokwenza unxibelelwano lokwenyani nolusebenzayo kule mizabalazo. Le mizabalazo iya kuba ngundoqo wokutyhalela phambili umzabalazo wenkululeko yasePalestina, kwaye inika isiseko sokuba nethemba kwixesha elizayo.

Indima yamatsha ntliziyo asePalestina axakeke kumanyano kunye nemibutho yesizwe ibalulekile kwimpumelelo yale projekthi. Njengawo onke amaqela amancinane, ubunkokeli obucingelwayo boluntu lwasePalestine olusekiweyo kuMntla Merika luhlala lubotshelelwa kumaqela ezopolitiko alawulayo kunye nemidla eMntla Melika, okanye kwiyantlukwano yamahlelo asePalestina. Oku kubonakaliswa kwizicwangciso ezibonisa uluntu ukuba luxhase imibutho yonyulo yongxowankulu okanye lukhuthaze amaqhinga okuphembelela agxininisa imidla yase-US kummandla. Inxalenye yokucela umngeni kobu bunkokeli obungqongqo kukwakha intsebenziswano yokwenyani kunye nezinye iintshukumo ezichasene nongxowankulu kwizixeko zethu. Siqinisa isimilo esichasene nama-impiriyali kumbutho wasePalestina xa sisebenza kwimizabalazo yabasetyhini, abasebenzi, abantu bebala, abaphambukeli, amabanjwa, ngakumbi abantu bomthonyama. Oku kuthetha ukukhuthala njengabathathi-nxaxheba bokwenyani kule mizabalazo kunye nokuhamba ngaphaya kokuthetha ngemilebe nje okanye i-sloganeing. Kucacile ukuba intshukumo yasePalestine isempilweni kwezo zixeko zaseMntla Melika apho le ndlela ikhona ngokwenene ngendlela engeyoyamahlelo kunye nokunyaniseka.

Ukomeleza intshukumo yethu

Iphulo lokukwaywa, ukuqhawula, kunye nezohlwayo elisekelwe kuhlalutyo localucalulo linokubonelela ngesakhelo esongameleyo somnye umsebenzi wethu wasePalestine. Ayithathi indawo yemfuno yokufikelela eluntwini, imfundo, kunye nentshukumo malunga nentaphane yemiba enxulumene nePalestine efana neembacu, udonga localucalulo, okanye amabanjwa. Endaweni yoko, iphulo le-BDS lingaphendula umbuzo: yintoni omawuyenze ngokulandelayo? Ibonelela ngogqaliselo lwesicwangciso esiluqilima oluphakamisa ukuqonda malunga nePalestine njengoko sisenza. Ukutyhala isindululo sokwahluka ngomanyano kufuna umsebenzi ozinzileyo wokuqinisekisa ubulungu bomlinganiswa wocalucalulo lukaSirayeli. Impumelelo yakutsha nje ibonisa ukuba ezi mfuno zinokuphumelela kwaye zinokubonelela ngeenzuzo ezibonakalayo.

Amava amaphulo amaninzi okwahlukana ukuza kuthi ga ngoku abonise ubunzima kubutshantliziyo bekhampasi yasekhaya. Izinga eliphezulu lokubuya kwabafundi, lidityaniswa nento yokuba uninzi lwabafundi lusendleleni, ngaphandle kweengcambu ezibalulekileyo kuluntu lwasekuhlaleni, lithethe ukuba amanyathelo amaninzi ekhampasi ayaphela njengoko abaququzeleli basembindini bephumelela kwaye baqhubele phambili. Impumelelo yephulo le-BDS ixhomekeke ekusekelweni kwayo kuluntu lwabahlali bexesha elide bendawo. Iinzame kwiikhampasi, ukuba ziza kugcinwa, kufuneka zibe lisebe lenzame ezisekelwe eluntwini, ingabi ngenye indlela. Ubutshantliziyo bekhampasi ngokwayo kufuneka bujongwe njengethuba lokuxhasa amandla kunye nezixhobo zabafundi kwimizabalazo eqhutywa ngaphandle kwekhampasi.

Umbutho wethu ujongene nemingeni emininzi kwixesha elizayo, imingeni ehamba ngaphaya kokugxila ekhampasini. Ingxaki ezingisileyo kukusasazeka kwamahlelo okukhoyo kwizixeko ezininzi. Ubuninzi bamaqela ahlukeneyo (adla ngokuba mancinci) anomahluko omncinci obonakalayo phakathi kwawo akhuphisana ngokuchaseneyo kubaphulaphuli bezopolitiko kunye namalungu. Iingcambu zocalucalulo zilele ekufakeni iiyantlukwano ezincinci zenkqubo kunye neemo zombutho phambi kwemidla yombutho uphela. Amaxesha amaninzi eli qela liziswe kumbutho okhuphisanayo wemibutho yasekhohlo okanye ezinye iiyantlukwano zentshukumo (ezifana nezo ziphakathi kwemibutho echasene nemfazwe). Kufuneka sitshintshe indlela esinxulumana ngayo, siqonde ukuba ukwakha umanyano ngokwenza sesona sixhobo sethu sinamandla. Kufuneka siyifake ngaphakathi inyaniso yokuba owona mgca ubalaseleyo wezopolitiko yinto ephuhliswe ngokwenkqubo efanayo yezopolitiko’”engashiyelwanga kumbutho osuka kwimibhalo yembali okanye ubupopu obuphuma ngaphandle komzabalazo. Oku kuthetha ukuginya i-egos yethu kwaye siqonde ukuba igama likabani elihamba kuqala kwiphecana, ngubani oza kuthetha, kwaye yeyiphi ibhanile enkulu kumboniso ayibalulekanga njengaleyo esiyiphumezayo ngokumatsha kunye.

Kukwafuneka siqonde ukuba okukhona umbutho wethu ukhula kokukhona uya kuqulatha iyantlukwano ekutolikeni kwezopolitiko, ekugxininiseni nakubuchule. Sihlala sikhubazekile ngenxa yeengxoxo ezingeyomfuneko malunga nogxininiso kwimiboniso emikhulu, inyathelo elithe ngqo, ukuphembelela, okanye ukufikelela ngaphandle kwemfundo. Iphulo le-BDS libonelela ngesixhobo sezopolitiko esigqibeleleyo sokuvumela le yantlukwano ukuba ibekho ngelixa simatsha simanyene. Abantu ngabanye kunye nemibutho banokuxhasa kwaye bakhe iphulo le-BDS ngokugxila kwabo, iindawo zokuvota, kunye namaqhinga kodwa uloyiso ngalunye olufunyenweyo lunceda ukuqinisa umsebenzi wabanye. Ngokucacileyo, lo mbono uphunyezwa kakuhle xa abantu nemibutho ebandakanyekileyo benokubekela bucala iiyantlukwano zamahlelo ngeenjongo zolungelelwaniso nentsebenziswano.

Ingxaki enxulumeneyo bubuthathaka bethu ekwakheni ubunkokeli obuhlangeneyo. Amaxesha amaninzi iintshukumo zethu zinxulunyaniswa ‘neenkwenkwezi’ endaweni yobunkokeli obubanzi ngokwenene nobunoxanduva. Asicingi ngokucinga ukuba ngubani oza kuthetha kwaye singakwazi njani ukwandisa inani labantu abathatha uxanduva lomsebenzi wethu. Oku kunokukhokelela ngokulula kwezinye iingxaki ezinjengokuqinisa ulwahlulo ngokwesini emsebenzini apho imisebenzi yemihla ngemihla yombutho iwela phezu kwabasetyhini kunye nokuthetha, ukubhala, kunye nobuso boluntu bombutho ngamadoda.

Oku kunqongophala kwendlela yolwakhiwo lwentshukumo kukwathetha ukuba asihoyi ngqalelo eyaneleyo kwabo bazibandakanya nezopolitiko zamatshantliziyo okokuqala. Bambalwa abantu abakwaziyo ngokwendalo ukuthetha esidlangalaleni, ukubhala inqaku, ukuququzelela intlanganiso, okanye ukuhambisa iphecana.
