Hagai El-Ad : Morire sulla recinzione della prigione di Gaza
Sintesi personale
La leadership di Israele sta gradualmente ammettendo un fatto basilare : il controllo permanente di Israele su milioni di
palestinesi è impossibile senza commettere crimini di guerra.
Questo è in sintesi significato che presuppone il controllare un altro popolo: non
"semplicemente" una questione di usurpare la sua terra, di imporre un
regime tra padroni e subordinati, di negare i diritti politici o di
dispiegare un labirinto infinito di oppressiva burocrazia. È anche questione di ripetute uccisioni
Così, il leader di Bayit Yehudi, Naftali Bennett, ha dichiarato in una intervista alla CNN durante l'estate 2014, quando centinaia di palestinesi sono stati uccisi nella Striscia di Gaza dalle bombe israeliane : "Hamas sta conducendo un massiccio genocidio". evidenziando così apertamente le reali implicazioni dell'uso della forza militare. Tentò di rendere accettabile il crimine incolpando la vittima, ma il suo utilizzo del termine e ,ancor più il suo profondo significato, rifletteva la realtà.
Nel dicembre 2017, l'ex primo ministro e ministro della Difesa Ehud Barak ha toccato lo stesso argomento
, avvertendo che " attuare l'agenda di uno stato porterà
ad una situazione dove alcuni membri dell'esercito e dello Shin Bet -
che per la legge israeliana non sono semplicemente autorizzati a
disobbedire a un ordine illegale, ma sono obbligati a farlo - possono rifiutarsi di seguire gli ordini che ricevono ". Barak ha omesso di menzionare il
vero pericolo, tuttavia: che alcuni di coloro che ricevono questi
ordini apertamente illegali obbediscano
Venerdì, ancora una volta, questo è quello che è successo: gli ordini
erano illegali. I soldati hanno obbedito e i palestinesi sono stati uccisi con fuoco vivo per molte ore. La portata delle vittime era chiara per la leadership israeliana, ma nessuno ha fermato quanto accadeva .
Come al solito la propaganda ufficiale dichiara che Hamas è
responsabile di tutto, proprio come ha dichiarato Hamas responsabile per
l'annientamento di dozzine di famiglie e la morte di centinaia di
bambini e giovani durante i bombardamenti israeliani di Gaza nel 2014.
Il portavoce dell'IDF ha superato se stesso, vantandosi in un tweet (che
è stato successivamente cancellato): "Nulla è stato eseguito senza
controllo; tutto era preciso e misurato e sappiamo dove ogni proiettile è atterrato ".
Apparentemente i nostri proiettili intelligenti - che hanno colpito
centinaia di palestinesi - erano in grado con precisione chirurgica di
determinare che ognuno di loro presentava un pericolo mortale e che non
c'era altra via d'azione. Anche quelli sparati da una grande distanza. Anche quelli sparati alle spalle. Anche quelli sparati mentre i palestinesi si allontanavano dai soldati .
Gaza è gestita dall'esterno come un'enorme prigione.
I guardiani stabiliscono quanta elettricità, acqua e cibo
raggiungeranno quasi due milioni di non-cittadini che vivono una non-vita. Il fuoco vivo è usato per il controllo della folla. I prigionieri non hanno il diritto di protestare. La loro disperazione è colpa loro.
Le loro ferita e la loro morte scaturiscono esclusivamente dalla loro responsabilità:
le nostre mani non hanno versato questo sangue, dal momento che sono stati loro a
precipitarsi in avanti verso i nostri proiettili.
Il venerdì è stato un giorno sanguinoso, ma Israele è già diventato da
lungo tempo un esperto per imbiancare giorni e settimane insanguinati. Non prevede alcuna indagine. Le eventuali "Investigazioni" sono solo una fase di routine ,ma anche così, quanto si è fortunati si dà la colpa di tutto questo a quelli che si uccidono da soli. Di volta in volta, il controllo su un'altra persona richiede giorni di uccisioni e massacri. Altri giorni insanguinati ci attendono. Hagai

p-ed:
From time to time, control over another people requires days of killing
and slaughter. More bloody days lie ahead. But don't expect
accountability. 'Investigations' are merely a routine stage in the
organized whitewash.
Israel’s
leadership is gradually admitting a basic fact of life—and death: That
Israel’s ongoing control over millions of Palestinians is impossible
without committing war crimes. This is the meaning of controlling
another people: not “merely” a matter of usurping its land, imposing a
regime of masters and subordinates, denying political rights, or
deploying an endless maze of oppressive bureaucracy. It is also a matter
of repeated killings.
Thus, Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett found himself during the summer of 2014, when hundreds of Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip by Israel’s “surgical” bombings, declaring in a CNN interview that “Hamas is conducting massive self-genocide.” Bennett was thus already openly discussing the genuine implications of Israel’s usage of military force policies. He attempted to make the crime acceptable by blaming the victim, but his recognition of the scale of the bloodletting—and still more so of its deep meaning—reflected an internalization of reality.
In December 2017, former Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak touched on the same subject, warning that “an attempt to implement the one-state agenda will lead to a situation where some of the members of the military and the Shin Bet—who under Israeli law are not merely permitted to disobey an illegal order, but are obliged to do so—are liable not to follow the orders they receive.” Barak failed to mention the real danger, however: that some of those who receive these overtly illegal orders would obey.
On Friday, once again, this is what happened: The orders were illegal, and a military operation commanded, according to reports, by the chief of staff himself, realized the danger that Barak failed to mention. Soldiers obeyed, and Palestinians were shot with live fire, over a period of many hours. The scale of the casualties was clear to the Israeli leadership, but no one stopped it. Not after a hundred injured Palestinians, and not after many, many more.
As usual, the official propaganda declares that Hamas is responsible for it all, just as it declared Hamas responsible for the annihilation of dozens of families and the death of hundreds of children and youths during the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in 2014. The IDF Spokesperson outdid himself, boasting in a tweet (that was later deleted): “Nothing was carried out uncontrolled; everything was accurate and measured, and we know where every bullet landed.”
Apparently our smart bullets—that struck hundreds of Palestinians—were able with surgical precision to determine that each of them presented a mortal danger and that there was no other course of action. Even those shot from a great distance. Even those shot in the back. Even those shot as they moved away from the soldiers.
Israel is not “attempting to realize the one-state agenda.” One-state is not an agenda—it is reality. It is not being realized solely by “members of the military and the Shin Bet,” but also by Israeli judges, civil servants, voters, and politicians.
The one-state’s Gaza province is managed from the outside like a huge prison. The wardens determine how much electricity, water, and food will reach almost two million non-citizens living non-lives. Live fire is used for crowd control. The prisoners have no right to protest. Their desperation is their fault. Their injury and death are solely their responsibility: our hands did not shed this blood, since they stormed forward into our bullets.
Friday was a bloody day, but Israel has already long since become an expert at whitewashing such bloody days and weeks. Do not anticipate any investigation, and even if eventually one is conducted, certainly do not expect accountability. “Investigations” are merely a routine stage in the organized whitewash. But even so, how fortunate that they are to blame for it all—they who kill themselves by themselves. After all, if—heaven forbid—it was our fault, what could we do with our shame?
From time to time, control over another people requires days of killing and slaughter. More bloody days lie ahead.
