Indawo yami yokuqala, ngemva kokuhlala iminyaka engu-22 ekamu lababaleki eGaza, kwakuyidolobha laseSeattle, idolobha elijabulisayo, eliluhlaza, lapho abantu baphuza khona ikhofi eliningi ukuze babhekane nobusika obude, obubandayo nobumpunga. Lapho, ngokokuqala ngqá, ngama phambi kwezilaleli ngaphandle kwasePalestine, ukuze ngikhulume ngePalestina.

Lapha, ngafunda, futhi, ngemikhawulo ebekwe phezu kwelungelo lasePalestine lokukhuluma, ngalokho engingakusho noma okungafanele ngikusho. Izinkundla zenkulumo yasePalestine engachemile zazimncane kakhulu ekuqaleni, futhi lapho zikhona, amaPalestine awazange abambe iqhaza.

Kwakuthinta inhliziyo, nokho. Abantu baseMelika abavamile, iningi labo abavela emaqenjini angakwesokunxele nabezenhlalakahle bavikela amalungelo asePalestine, babamba imilindelo kulandela zonke izibhicongo zase-Israel futhi banikeza amapheshana kwabahamba ngezinyawo abanentshisekelo noma abangenandaba.

Nokho, ngemva kokuhlala cishe amashumi amabili eminyaka ngihlala e-US, Europe, Asia, Middle East futhi ngihamba emhlabeni wonke ngikhuluma ngamalungelo abantu - ngiqala ngamalungelo asePalestine, umlando kanye nomzabalazo - ngaqala ukubamba ukungathi sína kokuthambekela okungaqondakali: lapho ukulandisa kwePalestine kubukelwa phansi futhi kungaqondakali kahle.

Ngaleso sikhathi, izizathu ezivamile zazihlanganisa: babengekho ongqondongqondo abanele basePalestine ababezozikhulumela; noma ukuthi abashisekeli abanomusa ababephethe indaba yasePalestine bachitha isonto eRamallah nenye eJerusalema, ngaleyo ndlela babekwazi ukusho ulwazi lwasePalestine; noma ukuthi umzabalazo wasePalestine uyingxenye yempi enkulu yokulwa ne-imperialism, ngaleyo ndlela isikhulumi sesocialist singabala iPalestine, kanye neCuba, i-Angola kanye ne-Indochina endimeni eyodwa, ehlanganisa konke; noma ukuthi izikhulumi zamaJuda zazithembeke kakhulu, ngoba zisondelene nokuqonda kwababukeli baseMelika nabasentshonalanga; njalonjalo.

Ngakho-ke kwakungeyona into engavamile ukubona yonke ingqungquthela yezinsuku ezimbili ePalestine ihlukaniswe yaba amaseshini amaningana nezinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi ngaphandle komPalestine oyedwa emsamo.

Izinto ziqale ukushintsha eminyakeni yamuva nje, ikakhulukazi kulandela ushintsho olukhulu olulethwe yi-inthanethi nezinkundla zokuxhumana. Kodwa-ke, isimo sengqondo esadebeselela noma sagwema ukulandisa kwePalestine asikanqotshwa ngokuphelele.

Inkinga akuyona indaba yokwengeza u-Mohammed, u-Elias noma u-Fatima ohlwini lwezikhulumi njengophawu lokukhombisa ukuthi amaPalestina afakwe engxoxweni empeleni emayelana nabo, okwedlule nekusasa labo. Kunalokho, kuwukwehluleka ukwazisa ubuqiniso bokulandisa kwePalestine enkulumweni emaphakathi 'yengxabano ye-Palestine-Israel' kuzo zonke izinkundla ezikhona, kungaba ezombangazwe, ezezemfundo, ezamasiko, ezobuciko noma kwabezindaba.

Ngenxa yemizamo yezinkulungwane zabantu emhlabeni jikelele, kube khona ukucindezela okuqinile kokuletha i-Palestine phambili; maye, akwanele, ngoba inselele inamacala amaningi.

Kukhona igebe lesizukulwane, lapho amadoda ezizukulwane ezidlule ecabanga ukuthi indlela ehlakaniphe kakhulu yokufinyelela izinhliziyo nezingqondo zabantu bakubo iwukufihla umPalestine wangempela, ulimi lwakhe, izinkomba zomlando, izinto ezibalulekile kanye nokulindelwe kungase kuhluke kakhulu, ukusho, izethameli zaseMelika. Kungcono kakhulu, bakholelwa ukuthi, kube namazwi ozwela, 'avela ngakolunye uhlangothi', ukubhekana nezikhalazo zasePalestine.

Okulingana nalokhu kungaba ukuba namaNgisi, isiBhunu noma amaJalimane anozwelo akhulume ngezinkinga zomlando zamaNdiya, abantu baseNingizimu Afrika noma amaJuda kanye nezinye izisulu zonya lwamaNazi. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi akwamukelekile, futhi kuhloswe ukuba yehluleke.

Ngisho namaPalestine uqobo, avela esizukulwaneni esingakaze sime, noma anikezwe ithuba lokuma endaweni yesikhulumi, ahlala engakwazi ukwazisa ukubaluleka kwendaba yasePalestine yangempela, ebonisa ulimi lwe-fellahin, ababaleki kanye nabesifazane abaphikisayo. namadoda kulo lonke elasePalestina nasesifundeni. Bafuna ukuxoxa izindaba zabo ngokusebenzisa abaxolisi, 'amaZionists athambile' kanye nabasekeli abanhliziyo encane ngoba behluliwe ngokwengqondo, bephuphuthekiswe yinkulumo-ze ye-elitist esakazwa izizukulwane ngezizukulwane. Ekugcineni lokhu kuyingozi njengoba kuhlanza iqiniso lomzabalazo wasePalestine, futhi kuhlanekezela umlando oyiqiniso.

Ukungezwani kwemithombo yezindaba kugqama kakhulu. Inkinga yokuziphatha emithonjeni yezindaba yaseNtshonalanga ngendaba yePalestine idinga imiqulu, futhi kuningi osekubhaliwe ngakho. Ongqondongqondo basePalestine kulowo mkhakha bangaba 'abanolwazi bomdabu' abahlukahlukene, njengoba kuchazwe u-Edward Said, noma babuye basetshenziswe futhi bahlukunyezwe, njengokuhlaselwa mathupha ngenxa yokubamba imibono abayenzayo. Kunoma ikuphi, abezindaba abajwayelekile behlulekile ngokuphelele ukuletha noma yiluphi ushintsho olulinganisekayo esimweni sabo sengqondo esichemile ngePalestine kanye nabantu bayo ababekezelayo.

Umzabalazo wasePalestine udinga - eqinisweni, izimfuno - ubumbano lomhlaba wonke, inqwaba yesisekelo sokusekela esanele ukuphendula igagasi ngokumelene nodlame lwakwa-Israel, okufaka ohulumeni nezinkampani okwamanje ezeseka, ezisekela futhi zibhubhise ubugebengu bansuku zonke bakwa-Israyeli ngokumelene namaPalestine. .

Kanye kanye, kufanele kube nokuhlehliswa kabusha kwezindima okubalulekile mayelana nokuthi kusho ukuthini ubumbano, nokuthi abantu basePalestine bangena kanjani njengabalingiswa bendaba yabo. Isinyathelo sokuqala ukuthi kumele sifunde ukungahlangani phakathi kobumbano nokuthatha indima yakhe uqobo lwasePalestine.

Umlando wasePalestine, ngokombono wasePalestine, usalokhu uyindida ezingqondweni zabalandeli abaningi basePalestine. Leyo nguqulo yokulandisa kwePalestine, njengoba ilandiswa abantu ababephila, abanolwazi futhi abakwazi ukuveza okungokoqobo nangokucacile okungokoqobo kwabo imbozwe eminye imifanekiso yalelo qiniso elifanayo.

Isibonelo, abanye bathola ukulandisa kwabezindaba kwephephandaba lakwa-Israel, 'Haaretz', kwanele impela, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi lisetshenziswa ama-Israel, amadoda ase-Ashkenazi angamaZiyoni amele umqondo ohlukile wakwa-Israyeli 'wakwesokunxele', okuyiqiniso, kancane ukwenzani kwesokunxele ngaphandle Israyeli. Ngakho-ke, kwabanye abafundi, izinhlangothi zombili zokulandisa kwemithombo yezindaba empeleni kukhulunywa ngazo ngamaqembu amabili ama-Israel, esokudla nesobunxele, lawo empeleni avumelana mayelana nezinhlekelele eziningi ezehlele abantu basePalestine, kuqalwa ngeNakba.

Futhi, ake ucabange nge-India eyake yabuswa ikoloni, iNingizimu Afrika yobandlululo kanye neJalimane lobuNazi kuyisihloko sale ngxoxo ukuze uqonde ukwehluleka kobuhlakani ukwazisa ukubaluleka kwePalestine endabeni yasePalestine, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yadelelwa ngamabomu noma ngenye indlela.

Njengoba abantu basePalestine sebephinde bavukela umbuso wakwa-Israel, kufanele futhi sibhekane nemibono namaphutha adlule. Siphila enkathini lapho isizukulwane sabantu basePalestine abafundile nabakhuluma kahle bakhona kakhulu emanyuvesi aphezulu, izinkampani zemidiya, okuhlanganisa nethiyetha, ifilimu kanye nazo zonke ezinye izici zemfundo namasiko eMpumalanga Ephakathi nasemhlabeni. I-Palestine, ngokwayo, igcwele izintatheli eziningi nabesifazane nabesilisa abakhuluma kahle, abangakwazi ukwenza i-akhawunti yasePalestine ubulungiswa obukhulu.

Sekuyisikhathi sokubanika umbhobho, bakhulume, futhi sonke silalele. Sineminyaka engu-67 sibambe iqhaza.
