I-Independent Jewish Voices (I-IJV) igubha unyaka wayo wokuqala amehlo ayo ebheke eGaza, ifuna kuqedwe ukuvinjwa kuka-Israyeli futhi, enkundleni engalingani yengxabano ye-Israel-Palestine, kuphele ukuhlukumeza amalungelo abantu nhlangothi zombili.

 

IJV kwaba kwakhiwa ngonyaka odlule ukuphakamisa izindaba zamalungelo abantu ngokuvamile, kodwa ikakhulukazi kuleyo ngxenye yomhlaba lapho sinomuzwa wokuthi amazwi ethu angase abe nokuzwakala okukhulu, sikhuthaza ukuphela okunobulungiswa nokuthula kwengxabano yase-Israel-Palestine. Ngokujabulisayo, naphezu kokuphikiswa okungenakugwenywa, ngokushesha sathola ukusekelwa okuphawulekayo nokusakazwa kwabezindaba ngokuma kwethu, ikakhulukazi ezincwadini zamaJuda emhlabeni wonke.

 

Ukuchayeka okunjalo kwasenza sakwazi ukuqhubela phambili umgomo wethu wokwethula i-IJV, okwakuwukushintsha imingcele yenkulumo-mpikiswano kule ngxabano: ukubeka phambili indaba yamalungelo abantu, ukunaka isimo sabo bobabili abasePalestine kanye nama-Israel ekufuneni ukuthula, siphikisana nabo bonke. izinhlobo zokucwasa. Ngokudabukisayo, kulo nyaka ofanayo, asibonanga mnyakazo onzima ovela eqenjini elinamandla kakhulu engxabanweni, izwe lakwa-Israel, elibheke ekuqedeni ukuhlukunyezwa kwamalungelo abantu okuphindaphindiwe ezindaweni zase-Palestine elizilawulayo.

 

Ngokuphambene nalokho, uma sibheka eGaza, sibone iminyaka emibili yenswinyo nokuvinjezelwa kucekela phansi izimpilo, inhlalakahle ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo yabantu bakhona. Ukuvinjwa kuka-Israyeli abantu basePalestine abayizigidi ezingu-1.5 ababegcwele kuleso siqeshana esingasogwini empeleni kwaqala ngo-1991, kwasala ngemuva kokuhoxiswa kuka-Israyeli kwamasosha kanye nezifiki eGaza ngo-2005, kwashuba ngokukhethwa kwe-Hamas ku-Palestine Authority ngoJanuwari 2006. Kube yinhlekelele emasontweni ambalwa edlule, lapho u-Israyeli evala ukuhanjiswa kwanoma yini eGaza, okuhlanganisa ukudla kwe-UN, imithi kanye nophethiloli. Ukuqhubeka nokudutshulwa kwamarokhethi e-Qassam enziwe ekhaya ngamaphekula asePalestine aphuma eNyakatho yeGaza, ewela edolobheni elingumakhelwane lakwa-Israel iSderot, okuholele ekutheni izwe lakwa-Israel libeke izinyathelo ezinqala. Sikugxeka ngokuphelele ukuhlasela kwe-Palestine kubantu base-Israel, okuyize njengoba kungekho emthethweni emthethweni wamazwe ngamazwe. Siyakugxeka futhi ukuziphindiselela okungafanele kwe-Israel kubantu baseGazan, okunganqatshelwe kuphela yiZivumelwano zase-Geneva kodwa okubonakale kuyize ngokufanayo ekuqedeni ukuhlasela kwamarokhethi noma ukuphambukisa intukuthelo yeGazan kulabo ababajezisayo, iye eHamas.

 

Le nhlekelele iyanda ngoba u-Israel, esekelwa ukuduba kwe-US kanye ne-EU, uyenqaba ukungena kunoma yiziphi izingxoxo nabamele iGaza abakhethiwe eHamas, okuhlanganisa neziphakamiso zabo zokuxoxisana ngokuqeda ukuhlasela kwamarokhethi, esikhundleni salokho bathumba futhi babophe amalungu abo amaningi abakhethiwe. Ziphawula ngokuphuphutheka kwamasu kwalesi simo, izazi zaseMpumalanga Ephakathi ziphakamisa ukuthi ukwanda kweqembu le-Hamas eligcwele impi eGaza ngokwalo kwaholela engxenyeni yokungalaleli kuka-Israyeli kwangaphambilini ku-Fatah, lapho bekuyiqembu elibusayo ezindaweni zasePalestine. Njengoba izwe lisanqaba ukuthatha isinyathelo ngokumelene nokwenqatshwa kwamalungelo abantu ayisisekelo ezakhamuzi zaseGazan, manje ezisongelwa ngendlala, ezibhekene nokunqanyulwa kukagesi njalo, ukubhidlika kwendle kanye nokwanda kokungcola kwamanzi okuphuza atholakalayo, ukuqhuma okuthile kwakungenakugwenywa.

 

Ngokuphazima kweso, amaphekula eHamas aqhumisa izingxenye zezindonga zikakhonkolo ezazifakwe yi-Israel ngasemngceleni waseGibhithe. Amakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu aphunyula iminyaka eminingi eboshiwe eGaza, ebuya nokudla, uphethiloli, imithi, nokunye okwengeziwe: “Kwakungathi iphupho,” insizwa ethile itshela intatheli yaseMelika, “ngokungazelelwe singaphinde sihambe. Nokho, njengoba izimpahla zitheleka eGaza futhi injabulo igcwala emigwaqweni yayo, ibuyisela ukuqhosha nokuzethemba okuphelile, imiphumela emibi kakhulu yokuvinjezelwa iyaqhubeka. Ingqalasizinda yedolobha isazolungiswa. Labo abadinga usizo oluphuthumayo basafa ngokungenasidingo, ngokuqhubeka nokungabikho kwemishini yezokwelapha esebenzayo, nezinye izinsiza ezibalulekile, kuhlangene nokwenqatshwa kuka-Israyeli kwemvume engokomthetho yokuhamba kwenye indawo.

 

Ngenyanga edlule kwaba nomunye umzamo ongokomfanekiso wokuqeda ukuvinjezelwa. Ayizange ibe sematheni. Lokhu bekuwukuhlangana ndawonye kwama-Israel namaPalestine esiwela i-Erez, ngoJanuwari 26. Kwaphela izinyanga ama-Israel nama-Arab ku-Israel Coalition Against the Siege esebenze nabalingani basePalestine abavela eGaza kulolu suku lokusebenza, ehambisana nemikhumbi yokusiza yakwa-Israyeli ethwele amahlanu. amathani okudla, izinto zokwelashwa kanye nezihlungi zamanzi ezidingeka kakhulu. Umlayezo ovela kulawa ma-Israyeli wawucacile: "Ngeke sibe yingxenye yalobu bugebengu. Sinamahloni ngalokhu kuvinjezelwa," njengoba Uri Avnery kumenyezelwe. U-Avnery, oneminyaka engu-85 ubudala, ophethe elinye lamaqembu okuthula akwa-Israel, uGush Shalom, ubekhuluma nama-Israel acishe abe izinkulungwane ezimbili avela ezinhlanganweni ezihlukene zamalungelo abantu nokuthula ezingama-26 abebehambe ngezimoto zabo nasemabhasini aya e-Erez.

 

UShir Shodzik oneminyaka engu-17 waseSderot naye ukhulume, ezwakalisa ukungahambisani nokuvinjwa futhi egxeka ukuhlupheka nhlangothi zombili, naphezu kokuba u-anti wakhe kanye nomzala wakhe balinyazwa yi-rocket ye-Qassam: "Asikho isidingo sobudlova noma amandla okuxazulula. lesi simo." wathi. Engabonwa, kodwa kulokhu kungezwakali kwa-Israel, ngakolunye uhlangothi uDkt Eyad el-Sarraj ukhulume nomakhalekhukhwini ohlinzeka ngocingo lwakhe emhlabeni wonke, umlayezo wakhe wathathwa futhi wanwetshwa odongeni. Ezungezwe ngamakhulu ambalwa abantu basePalestine, u-el-Sarraj, ovela ohlelweni lweGaza Community Mental Health Programme, wamukele ama-Israel eGaza, noma okungenani ezindongeni zejele ezilivale: "Sibambana ngezandla namuhla ekuphishekeleni ukuthula, ubulungiswa nokuvikeleka konke-ukuphepha kwePalestine, ukuphepha kwa-Israyeli, ukuphepha kweGaza nokuphepha kweSderot." U-El-Sarraj, obhale kaningi "ngobuthi obungapheli" obubangelwa ukukhungatheka okungenathemba kwabantu bakhe, wamukele ukuqubuka kwenjabulo endaweni yokuwela iRafah ezinsukwini ezedlule, njengoba nje amukela ubumbano kuma-radicals akwa-Israyeli e-Erez.

 

Njengakuqala, i-Israel ngokwayo yahlala iqinile, yenqaba ukuvumela uhide lwezosizo ukuba lungene eGaza, nakuba umzabalazo wokuyiphoqa ukuba yenze njalo usaqhubeka. Ku-IJV, ukwazi nje ukuthi kunamakhulu ama-Israel kanye nezakhamuzi zasePalestina ezizoqhubeka, ngokumelene nazo zonke izithiyo, ukuxhumana nokusebenza ndawonye ekufezeni umgomo wokuthula okusimeme kubalulekile. Yiqiniso, akukho okuhlala njalo okungenzeka ngaphandle kokuba i-US kanye namanye amazwe omhlaba ashintshe inkambo, efaka ingcindezi kuhulumeni wakwa-Israel ukuba aqede ukuvinjelwa kwawo futhi axoxisane neHamas. Ngoba ayikho indlela yokuphuma kulokhu kubi kuze kube yilapho kuqala izingxoxo phakathi kwazo zonke izinhlangothi kule ngxabano, ukuthola ukuvumelana okungaqinisekisa, kunokuba kucekele phansi, ukusungulwa kukahulumeni obumbene wasePalestine, onamandla angempela phezu kwabantu nezinsiza.

 

Amazwi ka-Avnery aveza amathemba angaqinile, kodwa anentshiseko, alawo maJuda emhlabeni wonke alangazelela ukuphela kombuso wamakoloni wakwa-Israyeli phezu kweGaza, iWest Bank kanye ne-East Jerusalem: “Ungalahli ukholo lokuthi ngelinye ilanga siyohlangana ndawonye le ndawo engenacingo, engenazindonga, engenamlilo, engenabudlova, ihlangana [njengabantu] ababili abahlala eduze komunye nomunye ngokuthula, ngobungane, ngokubambisana. " Iphrojekthi ye-IJV iwukusiza ukwazisa umphakathi ukuba khona kwamazwi amaJuda yonke indawo asekela lesi sikhalazo sika-Israyeli esiphikisayo. Sonke silahlekelwa ithemba. Kodwa-ke siyethemba futhi, sethemba kakhudlwana, sizama ukuthola ukuthi yini emhlabeni okufanele siyenze ngokulandelayo.
