EJ\u00c9RCITO ZAPATISTA DE LIBERACI\u00d3N NACIONAL.
\n<\/strong>M\u00c9XICO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Octubre del 2023.<\/p>\n

Hace casi 15 a\u00f1os, en nuestra palabra se advirti\u00f3 la pesadilla.\u00a0 Fue en un semillero y fue por la voz del finado SupMarcos que hablamos.\u00a0 Va:<\/p>\n

De siembras y cosechas
\n<\/strong>(enero de 2009)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Tal vez lo que voy a decir no venga al caso de lo que es el tema central de esta mesa, o tal vez s\u00ed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Hace dos d\u00edas, el mismo en el que nuestra palabra se refiri\u00f3 a la violencia, la inefable Condoleezza Rice, funcionaria del gobierno norteamericano, declar\u00f3 que lo que estaba pasando en Gaza era culpa de los palestinos, por su naturaleza violenta.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Los r\u00edos subterr\u00e1neos que recorren el mundo pueden cambiar de geograf\u00eda, pero entonan el mismo canto.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Y el que ahora escuchamos es de guerra y de pena.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 No muy lejos de aqu\u00ed, en un lugar llamado Gaza, en Palestina, en Medio Oriente, aqu\u00ed al lado, un ej\u00e9rcito fuertemente armado y entrenado, el del gobierno de Israel, contin\u00faa su avance de muerte y destrucci\u00f3n.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Los pasos que ha seguido son, hasta ahora, los de una guerra militar cl\u00e1sica de conquista: primero un bombardeo intenso y masivo para destruir puntos militares \u201cneur\u00e1lgicos\u201d (as\u00ed les dicen los manuales militares) y para \u201cablandar\u201d las fortificaciones de resistencia; despu\u00e9s el f\u00e9rreo control sobre la informaci\u00f3n: todo lo que se escuche y vea \u201cen el mundo exterior\u201d, es decir, externo al teatro de operaciones, debe ser seleccionado con criterios militares; ahora fuego intenso de artiller\u00eda sobre la infanter\u00eda enemiga para proteger el avance de las tropas a nuevas posiciones; despu\u00e9s ser\u00e1 el cerco y sitio para debilitar a la guarnici\u00f3n enemiga; despu\u00e9s el asalto que conquiste la posici\u00f3n aniquilando al enemigo, despu\u00e9s la \u201climpieza\u201d de los probables \u201cnidos de resistencia\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 El manual militar de guerra moderna, con algunas variaciones y agregados, est\u00e1 siendo seguido paso a paso por las fuerzas militares invasoras.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Nosotros no sabemos mucho de esto y, es seguro, hay especialistas sobre el llamado \u201cconflicto en Medio Oriente\u201d, pero desde este rinc\u00f3n algo tenemos que decir:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Seg\u00fan las fotos de las agencias noticiosas, los puntos \u201cneur\u00e1lgicos\u201d destruidos por la aviaci\u00f3n del gobierno de Israel son casas habitaci\u00f3n, chozas, edificios civiles.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0No hemos visto ning\u00fan bunker, ni cuartel o aeropuerto militar, o bater\u00eda de ca\u00f1ones, entre lo destruido. Entonces nosotros, disculpen nuestra ignorancia, pensamos que o los artilleros de los aviones tienen mala punter\u00eda o en Gaza no existen tales puntos militares \u201cneur\u00e1lgicos\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 No tenemos el honor de conocer Palestina, pero nosotros suponemos que en esas casas, chozas y edificios habitaba gente, hombres, mujeres, ni\u00f1os y ancianos, y no soldados.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tampoco hemos visto fortificaciones de resistencia, s\u00f3lo escombros.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Hemos visto, s\u00ed, el hasta ahora vano esfuerzo de cerco informativo y a los distintos gobiernos del mundo dudando entre hacerse patos o aplaudir la invasi\u00f3n, y una ONU, ya in\u00fatil desde hace tiempo, sacando tibios boletines de prensa.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Pero esperen. \u00a0Se nos ha ocurrido ahora que tal vez para el gobierno de Israel esos hombres, mujeres, ni\u00f1os y ancianos son soldados enemigos y, como tales, las chozas, casas y edificios donde habitan son cuarteles que hay que destruir.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Entonces seguramente los fuegos de artiller\u00eda que esta madrugada ca\u00edan sobre Gaza eran para proteger de esos hombres, mujeres, ni\u00f1os y ancianos, el avance de la infanter\u00eda del ej\u00e9rcito de Israel.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Y la guarnici\u00f3n enemiga a la que quieren debilitar con el cerco y sitio que se est\u00e1 tendiendo en torno a Gaza no es otra cosa que la poblaci\u00f3n palestina que ah\u00ed vive. Y que el asalto buscar\u00e1 aniquilar a esa poblaci\u00f3n. Y que cualquier hombre, mujer, ni\u00f1o o anciano que logre escapar, escondi\u00e9ndose, del asalto previsiblemente sangriento, ser\u00e1 luego \u201ccazado\u201d para que la limpieza se complete y el jefe militar al mando de la operaci\u00f3n pueda reportar a sus superiores \u201chemos completado la misi\u00f3n\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Disculpen de nuevo nuestra ignorancia, tal vez lo que estamos diciendo no venga, en efecto, al caso, o cosa, seg\u00fan. Y que en lugar de estar repudiando y condenando el crimen en curso, como ind\u00edgenas y como guerreros que somos, deber\u00edamos estar discutiendo y tomando posici\u00f3n en la discusi\u00f3n sobre si \u201csionismo\u201d o \u201cantisemitismo\u201d, o que en el principio fueron las bombas de Ham\u00e1s.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Tal vez nuestro pensamiento es muy sencillo, y nos faltan los matices y acotaciones tan necesarios siempre en los an\u00e1lisis, pero, para nosotras, nosotros, zapatistas, en Gaza hay un ej\u00e9rcito profesional asesinando a una poblaci\u00f3n indefensa.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00bfQui\u00e9n que es abajo y a la izquierda puede permanecer callado?<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00bfSirve decir algo? \u00bfDetienen alguna bomba nuestros gritos? Nuestra palabra, \u00bfsalva la vida de alg\u00fan ni\u00f1o palestino?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Nosotros pensamos que s\u00ed sirve, que tal vez no detengamos una bomba ni nuestra palabra se convierta en un escudo blindado que evite que esa bala calibre 5.56 mm o 9 mm, con las letras \u201cIMI\u201d (\u201cIndustria Militar Israel\u00ed\u201d) grabadas en la base del cartucho, llegue al pecho de una ni\u00f1a o un ni\u00f1o, porque tal vez nuestra palabra logre unirse a otras en M\u00e9xico y el mundo y tal vez primero se convierta en murmullo, luego en voz alta, y despu\u00e9s en un grito que escuchen en Gaza.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 No sabemos ustedes, pero nosotros y nosotras, zapatistas del EZLN, sabemos lo importante que es, en medio de la destrucci\u00f3n y la muerte, escuchar unas palabras de aliento.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 No s\u00e9 c\u00f3mo explicarlo, pero resulta que s\u00ed, que las palabras desde lejos tal vez no alcanzan a detener una bomba, pero son como si se abriera una grieta en la negra habitaci\u00f3n de la muerte y una lucecita se colara.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Por lo dem\u00e1s, pasar\u00e1 lo que de por s\u00ed va a pasar. El gobierno de Israel declarar\u00e1 que le propin\u00f3 un severo golpe al terrorismo, le ocultar\u00e1 a su pueblo la magnitud de la masacre, los grandes productores de armamento habr\u00e1n obtenido un respiro econ\u00f3mico para afrontar la crisis y \u201cla opini\u00f3n p\u00fablica mundial\u201d, ese ente maleable y siempre a modo, voltear\u00e1 a mirar a otro lado.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Pero no s\u00f3lo. Tambi\u00e9n va a pasar que el pueblo Palestino va a resistir y a sobrevivir y a seguir luchando, y a seguir teniendo la simpat\u00eda de abajo por su causa.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Y, tal vez, un ni\u00f1o o una ni\u00f1a de Gaza sobrevivan tambi\u00e9n. Tal vez crezcan y, con ellos, el coraje, la indignaci\u00f3n, la rabia. Tal vez se hagan soldados o milicianos de alguno de los grupos que luchan en Palestina. Tal vez se enfrente combatiendo a Israel. Tal vez lo haga disparando un fusil. Tal vez inmol\u00e1ndose con un cintur\u00f3n de cartuchos de dinamita alrededor de su cintura.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Y entonces, all\u00e1 arriba, escribir\u00e1n sobre la naturaleza violenta de los palestinos y har\u00e1n declaraciones condenando esa violencia y se volver\u00e1 a discutir si sionismo o antisemitismo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Y entonces nadie preguntar\u00e1 qui\u00e9n sembr\u00f3 lo que se cosecha.<\/em><\/p>\n

Por los hombres, mujeres, ni\u00f1os y ancianos del Ej\u00e9rcito Zapatista de Liberaci\u00f3n Nacional.<\/em><\/p>\n

-*-<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Quienes eran menores de edad entonces, hace casi 15 a\u00f1os, y sobrevivieron, pues\u2026<\/p>\n

Hay quienes fueron responsables de sembrar lo que hoy se cosecha, y hay quien, impune, repite la siembra.<\/p>\n

Quienes apenas hace unos meses justificaron y defendieron la invasi\u00f3n de la Rusia de Putin a Ucrania, aduciendo su \u201cderecho a defenderse de una amenaza potencial\u201d, ahora deben estar haciendo malabares (o apostando al olvido) para invalidar ese argumento frente a Israel.\u00a0 Y viceversa.<\/p>\n

Hoy hay, en Palestina e Israel -y en todo el mundo-, ni\u00f1os y j\u00f3venes aprendiendo eso que ense\u00f1an los terrorismos: que no hay l\u00edmites, ni reglas, ni leyes, ni verg\u00fcenzas.<\/p>\n

Ni responsabilidades.<\/p>\n

Mientras tanto, cada guerra seguir\u00e1 siendo s\u00f3lo el preludio de la siguiente, m\u00e1s feroz, m\u00e1s destructiva, m\u00e1s inhumana.<\/p>\n

Desde las monta\u00f1as del Sureste Mexicano.<\/p>\n

Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s.
\nM\u00e9xico, octubre del 2023.[:en]October, 2023<\/p>\n

Almost 15 years ago, in our words, the nightmare was forwarned. It was during a Semillero and it was through the voice of the deceased SupMarcos that we spoke. Here it goes:<\/p>\n

Of sowings and reapings
\n(January 2009)<\/p>\n

Maybe, what I am about to say has nothing to do with the main theme of this roundtable, or maybe it has.<\/p>\n

Two days ago, the same day in which our word spoke of violence, the ineffable Condoleezza Rice, US government official, declared that what was going on in Gaza was the fault of the Palestinians, due to their violent nature.<\/p>\n

The subterranean rivers that run through the world are able to change their geography, but they sing the same song.<\/p>\n

And the river we now listen to sings of war and grief.<\/p>\n

Not far from here, in a place called Gaza, in Palestine, in the Middle East, just next door, a heavily armed and trained army, from the Israeli government, continues its advance of death and destruction.<\/p>\n

The steps it has followed so far are those of a classic military war of conquest: first a massive and intense bombardment to destroy \u201cneuralgic\u201d military posts (so they are called by military manuals) and to \u201csoften up\u201d resistance fortifications; then an iron grip on information: everything that is heard and seen \u201cin the outside world\u201d, that is to say, outside of the theatre of operations must be selected according to military criteria; now intense artillery fire over enemy infantry to protect the advance of troops to their new positions: after that an encirclement and siege to weaken the enemy garrison; then an assault to conquer the position by annihilating\u00a0 the enemy; finally, the \u201ccleansing\u201d of the probable \u201cnests of resistance\u201d.<\/p>\n

The military manual of modern warfare, with some variations or additions, is being followed step by step by invading military forces.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know much about this, and it is certain that there are specialists on the so called \u201cconflict in the Middle East\u201d, but from this corner, we have something to say:<\/p>\n

According to the photos from news agencies, the \u201cneuralgic\u201d military posts destroyed by the Airforce of the Israeli government are houses, huts, civil buildings.<\/p>\n

We have not seen any bunkers, barracks, military airports or cannon batteries among what has been destroyed. Then, we think, excuse our ignorance, that either the aircraft gunners have bad aim or in Gaza there are no such \u201cneuralgic\u201d military posts<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have the honor of having visited Palestine, but we suppose that in those houses, huts and buildings used to live people, men, women, children and elderlies, and not soldiers.<\/em><\/p>\n

We have not seen resistance fortifications either, only debris.<\/em><\/p>\n

What we have seen, is the so far futile effort <\/em>to cordon off information and several governments of the world wavering between playing the fool or applauding the invasion, and a UN, already useless way back, publishing lukewarm press releases.<\/p>\n

But wait. It now occurs to us that perhaps, for the Israeli government, these men, women, children and elderly people are enemy soldiers and, as such, the huts, houses and buildings where they live in are barracks that need to be destroyed.<\/p>\n

And the enemy garrison that they want to weaken with the encirclement and siege of Gaza is none other than the Palestinian population living there. And that the assault will seek to annihilate that population. And that any man, woman, child or elderly person who manages to escape, by hiding from the predictably bloody assault, will then be \u00abhunted down\u00bb so that the cleansing can be completed, and the military chief in command of the operation can report to his superiors \u00abwe have completed the mission.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Excuse our ignorance again, perhaps what we are saying is, in fact, beside the point. And that instead of repudiating and condemning the crime in progress, as indigenous people and as warriors that we are, we should be discussing and taking a position on the discussion about\u00a0 whether it\u2019s\u00a0 \u00abZionism\u00bb or \u00abanti-Semitism\u00bb, or that it was the Hamas bombs that started it.<\/p>\n

Perhaps our thoughts are very simple, and we lack the nuances and the always very necessary marginal notes in the analysis, but, for us Zapatistas, in Gaza there is a professional army assassinating a defenseless population.<\/p>\n

Who from below and to the left can remain silent?<\/p>\n

-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it useful to say something? Do our screams stop any bombs? Is our word saving the life of a\u00a0 Palestinian child?<\/p>\n

We think that it is useful, maybe we will not stop a bomb nor will our word become an armored shield that prevents that 5.56 mm or 9 mm caliber bullet, with the letters \u00abIMI\u00bb (\u00abIsraeli Military Industry\u00bb) engraved on the base of the cartridge, from reaching the chest of a girl or a boy, but maybe our word will manage to join with others in Mexico and the world and maybe first it will become a murmur, then a loud voice, and then a cry that will be heard in Gaza.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know about you, but we Zapatistas of the EZLN know how important it is, in the midst of destruction and death, to hear a few words of encouragement.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how to explain this, but it turns out that words from afar may not be enough to stop a bomb, but they are as if a crack opened in the black room of death for a small light to slip through.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, what will happen will happen. The Israeli government will declare that it has dealt a severe blow to terrorism, it will hide the magnitude of the massacre from its people, the big producers of weapons will have gotten an economic break to face the crisis and \u00abworld public opinion,\u00bb that malleable entity, always in tune with the situation, will turn to look the other way.<\/p>\n

But not only. It will also happen that the Palestinian people will resist and survive and continue fighting, and continue to have sympathy for their cause from those below.<\/p>\n

And perhaps a boy or girl from Gaza will survive too. Perhaps they will grow and, with them, anger, indignation, rage. Perhaps they will become soldiers or partisans for one of the groups fighting in Palestine. Maybe he or she will face combat against Israel. Maybe he or she does it by firing a rifle. Maybe by blowing himself up with a belt of dynamite sticks around his waist.<\/p>\n

And then, up there, someone will write about the violent nature of the Palestinians and make statements condemning that kind of violence and there will be another debate about whether Zionism or anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n

And then no one will ask who sowed what was reaped.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the men, women, children and elderly of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
\nSubcomandante Insurgente Marcos
\nMexico, 4rth of January 2009.<\/p>\n

-*-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Those who were children then, almost 15 years ago, and who survived, well\u2026<\/p>\n

There are those who were responsible for sowing what is now being reaped, and there are those who, with impunity, repeat the sowing.<\/p>\n

Those who just a few months ago justified and defended Putin\u2019s Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, arguing its \u00abright to defend itself from a potential threat\u00bb, must now be juggling (or betting on forgetfulness) to invalidate that argument in relation of Israel.\u00a0 And vice versa.<\/p>\n

Today, in Palestine and Israel -and all over the world- there are children and young people learning what terrorisms teach: that there are no limits, no rules, no laws, no shame.<\/p>\n

And no responsibilities.<\/p>\n

-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither Hamas nor Netanyahu. The people of Israel will prevail. The people of Palestine will prevail. They only need to give themselves a chance and work hard at it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, each war will continue to be only the prelude to the next, more ferocious, more destructive, more inhumane.<\/p>\n
