Sud\u00e1frica ya est\u00e1 harta del silencio ensordecedor del mundo sobre el actual genocidio de palestinos en la Franja de Gaza por parte de Israel durante el apartheid. <\/span><\/p>\n

El n\u00famero sin precedentes de cr\u00edmenes de guerra y cr\u00edmenes contra la humanidad que Israel cometi\u00f3 en el enclave costero asediado en los \u00faltimos tres meses con total impunidad ha puesto en juego la credibilidad del derecho internacional y ha impulsado a Sud\u00e1frica a actuar. Sus principales expertos jur\u00eddicos compilaron un documento de 84 p\u00e1ginas que detalla pruebas de estos cr\u00edmenes y lanzaron un caso hist\u00f3rico ante la Corte Internacional de Justicia (CIJ) acusando a Israel de cometer genocidio en contravenci\u00f3n de la Convenci\u00f3n sobre el Genocidio de 1948. <\/span><\/p>\n

Esto es m\u00fasica para los o\u00eddos palestinos. Ning\u00fan otro pa\u00eds, \u00e1rabe o musulm\u00e1n, se ha atrevido antes a cruzar esta \u201cl\u00ednea roja\u201d. Despu\u00e9s de todo, \u00e9ste es Israel, el beb\u00e9 mimado del Occidente colonial, el \u00fanico proyecto que insisti\u00f3 en mantener vivo despu\u00e9s del fin de la era del colonialismo, camufl\u00e1ndolo con consignas de la Ilustraci\u00f3n y arm\u00e1ndolo con sus mejores armas. Sin duda, todos los Estados de la Tierra son conscientes de los cr\u00edmenes de Israel, pero ninguno se atreve a pedirle cuentas por temor a lo que sus patrocinadores coloniales puedan hacer en respuesta. <\/span><\/p>\n

Afortunadamente, la Sud\u00e1frica post-apartheid finalmente dijo \u201cya es suficiente\u201d y llev\u00f3 a Israel ante el tribunal superior de las Naciones Unidas. La naci\u00f3n que derrot\u00f3 a un despiadado r\u00e9gimen de apartheid y construy\u00f3 en su lugar un Estado multirracial y democr\u00e1tico reconoci\u00f3 c\u00f3mo el silencio de la comunidad internacional est\u00e1 allanando el camino para los mort\u00edferos excesos de Israel, y dio un paso importante para ponerles fin. <\/span><\/p>\n

De hecho, acusar a Israel del crimen de genocidio ante la CIJ podr\u00eda poner fin a la impunidad de Israel, crear las condiciones para un embargo militar muy necesario y dejar a Israel aislado en el escenario mundial. A\u00fan m\u00e1s importante, el caso de Sud\u00e1frica podr\u00eda conducir a medidas provisionales que incluyan un alto el fuego inmediato y la entrada de suficiente ayuda humanitaria en Gaza. Estas medidas se necesitan con urgencia porque cada d\u00eda mueren miles de personas en la franja. M\u00e1s de 23.000 personas ya han muerto y miles m\u00e1s est\u00e1n desaparecidas bajo los escombros. Alrededor del 70 por ciento de las v\u00edctimas de este horror han sido mujeres y ni\u00f1os. <\/span><\/p>\n

Resulta que soy tanto palestino como sudafricano y un sobreviviente del genocidio de Gaza. He perdido a muchos familiares, amigos, colegas, estudiantes y vecinos a causa de la violencia de Israel a lo largo de los a\u00f1os. <\/span><\/p>\n

En Gaza, sobreviv\u00ed a cinco ataques o, m\u00e1s exactamente, a masacres del Israel del apartheid entre 2008 y 2023. Tambi\u00e9n he experimentado de primera mano las consecuencias del asedio mortal que ha impuesto a la franja desde 2006. Todo mi barrio fue arrasado por el aire. ataques en la primera semana del genocidio en curso. Y desde entonces me han desplazado cuatro veces. <\/span><\/p>\n

Como cualquier otro habitante de este enclave costero, viv\u00ed el mismo escenario oscuro en cada masacre: Israel decidi\u00f3 \u201ccortar el c\u00e9sped\u201d, la llamada comunidad internacional convenientemente mir\u00f3 hacia otro lado y, durante muchos largos d\u00edas y noches, Se enfrent\u00f3 solo al ej\u00e9rcito m\u00e1s inmoral del mundo: un ej\u00e9rcito que tiene cientos de ojivas nucleares y miles de soldados de gatillo f\u00e1cil armados con tanques Merkava, F-16, helic\u00f3pteros Apache, ca\u00f1oneras navales y bombas de f\u00f3sforo. Una vez terminada la masacre, todo volvi\u00f3 a la \u201cnormalidad\u201d, e Israel sigui\u00f3 mat\u00e1ndonos lentamente con un asedio asfixiante que mantiene a nuestros ni\u00f1os desnutridos, el agua contaminada y las noches a oscuras. Y en las muchas iteraciones de este ciclo mortal que vivimos, en ning\u00fan momento recibimos una sola palabra de simpat\u00eda o apoyo de los Biden, Sunak, Macron y von der Leyens de este mundo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Todas estas masacres cometidas con impunidad hicieron evidente que el Israel del apartheid tiene el respaldo inequ\u00edvoco del Occidente blanco y \u201cliberal\u201d para hacer lo que le plazca con Gaza y su pueblo. Estas masacres fueron los ensayos generales del genocidio que hoy est\u00e1 en marcha. Demostraron a Israel que puede cometer cr\u00edmenes de guerra y cr\u00edmenes contra la humanidad sin recibir ninguna sanci\u00f3n o condena de la comunidad internacional. Despu\u00e9s de todo, nadie dijo nada en 2008, 2012, 2014 y 2021, entonces, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 deber\u00eda ser diferente ahora? Esta es la l\u00f3gica que ha permitido a los l\u00edderes de Israel ser tan abiertos en los \u00faltimos meses sobre sus intenciones de \u201cexterminar\u201d a los palestinos en Gaza. <\/span><\/p>\n

De hecho, desde el comienzo de esta \u00faltima masacre, este genocidio, una amplia gama de funcionarios israel\u00edes, desde el presidente y el primer ministro hasta miembros prominentes del gobierno, los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n y la sociedad civil, han expresado claramente su intenci\u00f3n de cometer genocidio. La semana pasada, el ministro de Patrimonio israel\u00ed, Amichai Eliyahu, que anteriormente hab\u00eda dicho que lanzar una bomba nuclear sobre la Franja de Gaza era \u201cuna opci\u00f3n\u201d, inst\u00f3 a Israel a encontrar formas que sean \u201cm\u00e1s dolorosas que la muerte\u201d para obligar a los palestinos a abandonar la franja. <\/span><\/p>\n

La intenci\u00f3n de Israel de cometer genocidio en Gaza puede ser m\u00e1s clara hoy que nunca, pero de ninguna manera es nueva. En 2004, Arnon Soffer, director del Colegio de Defensa Nacional de las Fuerzas Ofensivas de Israel y asesor del entonces Primer Ministro Ariel Sharon, ya hab\u00eda explicado en detalle los resultados deseados de la retirada unilateral de Israel de Gaza en una entrevista con el peri\u00f3dico israel\u00ed Jerusalem. Post: \u201cCuando 1,5 millones de personas vivan en una Gaza cerrada, ser\u00e1 una cat\u00e1strofe humana. Esas personas se convertir\u00e1n en animales a\u00fan m\u00e1s grandes de lo que son hoy. \u2026 La presi\u00f3n en la frontera ser\u00e1 terrible. Va a ser una guerra terrible. Entonces, si queremos seguir vivos, tendremos que matar, matar y matar. Todo el d\u00eda todos los d\u00edas. \u2026 Si no matamos, dejaremos de existir. \u2026 La separaci\u00f3n unilateral no garantiza la \u201cpaz\u201d. Garantiza un Estado jud\u00edo sionista con una abrumadora mayor\u00eda de jud\u00edos\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ahora, 20 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de que Soffer revelara la intenci\u00f3n de Israel de \u201cmatar, matar y matar\u201d en la franja, Gaza realmente est\u00e1 muriendo. Se est\u00e1 asesinando, mutilando, pasando hambre y desplazando a personas en masa ante los ojos de las naciones del mundo, en lo que tr\u00e1gicamente se ha convertido en el primer genocidio de la historia observado globalmente. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nosotros, los palestinos, no olvidaremos la repugnante cobard\u00eda de la llamada comunidad internacional, que ha permitido y posibilitado este genocidio. No olvidaremos c\u00f3mo las naciones del mundo permanecieron de brazos cruzados mientras los l\u00edderes racistas de Israel afirmaban abiertamente que nosotros, el pueblo ind\u00edgena de Palestina, somos los \u201cAmalek\u201d, el enemigo que, seg\u00fan la Tor\u00e1, Dios orden\u00f3 a los antiguos israelitas cometer. genocidio contra \u2013 y se embarc\u00f3 en una b\u00fasqueda racista e inhumana para \u201caniquilarnos\u201d a todos. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pero tampoco olvidaremos nunca lo que Sud\u00e1frica hizo por nosotros. No olvidaremos c\u00f3mo nos mostr\u00f3 su apoyo inquebrantable y c\u00f3mo tom\u00f3 una postura valiente a nuestro favor en la corte mundial cuando incluso nuestros propios hermanos nos han dado la espalda por miedo. Siempre recordaremos c\u00f3mo vincul\u00f3 nuestra lucha, nuestros derechos humanos m\u00e1s b\u00e1sicos, con la justicia global y record\u00f3 a la comunidad internacional nuestra humanidad. <\/span><\/p>\n

El actual genocidio de Israel en Gaza, cometido abiertamente y con impunidad, ha marcado el comienzo del fin del orden internacional basado en reglas liderado por Occidente. Sin embargo, al defender con valent\u00eda lo que es correcto y llevar a Israel ante la CIJ, Sud\u00e1frica nos demostr\u00f3 que otro mundo es posible: un mundo donde ning\u00fan Estado est\u00e1 por encima de la ley, donde los cr\u00edmenes m\u00e1s atroces como el genocidio y el apartheid nunca son aceptados y los pueblos del mundo se unen hombro con hombro contra la injusticia. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a1Gracias Sud\u00e1frica! <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPublic hearings in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel began on Thursday at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands on January 11, 2024. On the first day of the trial, South Africa presented hard evidence in the case it filed on December 29, accusing Israel of violation of the UN Genocide Convention with its actions in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7 [Selman Aks\u00fcnger\/Anadolu Agency]<\/small><\/p>\n

South Africa has had enough of the world\u2019s deafening silence on apartheid Israel\u2019s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

The unprecedented number of war crimes and crimes against humanity Israel committed in the besieged coastal enclave in the past three months with complete impunity has put the credibility of international law at stake and sprung South Africa into action. Its top legal minds compiled a 84-page document detailing evidence of these crimes and launched a landmark case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing Israel of committing genocide in contravention of the 1948 Genocide Convention.<\/p>\n

This is music to Palestinian ears. No other country, Arab or Muslim, has ever dared cross this \u201cred line\u201d before. After all, this is Israel, the colonial West\u2019s spoiled baby \u2013 the one project it insisted on keeping alive after the end of the era of colonialism, camouflaging it with slogans of the Enlightenment and arming it with its best weapons. Every state on Earth is undoubtedly aware of Israel\u2019s crimes, but none dares hold it to account in fear of what its colonial patrons may do in response.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, post-apartheid South Africa eventually said \u201cenough is enough\u201d and took Israel to the top court of the United Nations. The nation that defeated a ruthless apartheid regime and built a multiracial, democratic state in its place recognised how the international community\u2019s silence is paving the way for Israel\u2019s deadly excesses, and it took an important step to put an end to it.<\/p>\n

Indeed, charging Israel with the crime of genocide at the ICJ could bring an end to Israel\u2019s impunity, create the conditions for a much needed military embargo and leave Israel isolated on the world stage. Even more importantly, South Africa\u2019s case could lead to provisional measures that include an immediate ceasefire and the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid into Gaza. These measures are urgently needed because every day people are dying in their thousands in the strip. More than 23,000 people have already perished, and thousands more are missing under the rubble. About 70 percent of the victims of this horror have been women and children.<\/p>\n

I happen to be both Palestinian and South African and a survivor of the Gaza genocide. I\u2019ve lost many relatives, friends, colleagues, students and neighbours to Israel\u2019s violence over the years.<\/p>\n

In Gaza, I survived five attacks or, more accurately, massacres by apartheid Israel from 2008 to 2023. I\u2019ve also experienced first hand the consequences of the deadly siege it has imposed on the strip since 2006. My entire neighbourhood was flattened by air strikes in the first week of the ongoing genocide. And I\u2019ve been displaced four times since then.<\/p>\n

Like every other inhabitant of this coastal enclave, I lived through the same dark scenario with every massacre: Israel decided to \u201cmow the lawn\u201d, the so-called international community conveniently looked the other way and, for many long days and nights, we faced the world\u2019s most immoral army alone \u2013 an army that has hundreds of nuclear warheads and thousands of trigger-happy soldiers armed with Merkava tanks, F-16s, Apache helicopters, naval gunships and phosphorous bombs. Once the massacre was over, everything returned to \u201cnormal\u201d, and Israel continued to kill us slowly with a suffocating siege that keeps our children malnourished, water contaminated and nights dark. And in the many iterations of this deadly cycle that we lived through, at no point did we receive a single word of sympathy or support from the Bidens, Sunaks, Macrons, and von der Leyens of this world.<\/p>\n

All these massacres committed with impunity made it glaringly obvious that apartheid Israel has the unequivocal backing of the white, \u201cliberal\u201d West to do as it pleases with Gaza and its people. These massacres were the dress rehearsals for the genocide that is under way today. They showed Israel that it can commit war crimes and crimes against humanity without receiving any sanction or condemnation from the international community. After all, no one said anything in 2008, 2012, 2014 and 2021, so why should it be any different now? This is the logic that has allowed Israel\u2019s leaders to be so open in the past few months about their intentions to \u201cexterminate\u201d Palestinians in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Indeed, since the beginning of this latest massacre, this genocide, a wide range of Israeli officials from the president and the prime minister to prominent members of the government, media and civil society have clearly voiced their intent for genocide. Just last week, Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, who had previously said dropping a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip is \u201can option\u201d, urged Israel to find ways that are \u201cmore painful than death\u201d to force Palestinians to leave the strip.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s intent to commit genocide in Gaza may be more clear today than ever before, but it is in no way new. Back in 2004, Arnon Soffer, head of the National Defense College of the Israeli Offensive Forces and an adviser to then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, had already spelled out the desired results of Israel\u2019s unilateral disengagement from Gaza in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post: \u201cWhen 1.5 million people live in a closed-off Gaza, it\u2019s going to be a human catastrophe. Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today. \u2026 The pressure at the border will be awful. It\u2019s going to be a terrible war. So if we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day. \u2026 If we don\u2019t kill, we will cease to exist. \u2026 Unilateral separation doesn\u2019t guarantee \u201cpeace\u201d. It guarantees a Zionist-Jewish state with an overwhelming majority of Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, 20 years after Soffer revealed Israel\u2019s intention to \u201ckill and kill and kill\u201d in the strip, Gaza is truly dying. People are being killed, maimed, starved and displaced en masse before the eyes of the world\u2019s nations, in what tragically has become the first globally watched genocide in history.<\/p>\n

We, Palestinians, will not forget the sickening cowardice of the so-called international community, which has allowed and enabled this genocide. We will not forget how the nations of the world stood idly by as Israel\u2019s racist leaders openly claimed that we, the Indigenous people of Palestine, are the \u201cAmalek\u201d \u2013 the foe that, according to the Torah, God ordered the ancient Israelites to commit genocide against \u2013 and embarked on a racist, inhuman quest to \u201cannihilate\u201d all of us.<\/p>\n

But we will never forget what South Africa did for us either. We will not forget how it showed us unwavering support and bravely took a stand for us at the world court when even our own brothers have turned their backs on us in fear. We will always remember how it linked our struggle, our most basic human rights, to global justice and reminded the international community of our humanity.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s ongoing genocide in Gaza, being committed out in the open and with impunity, has ushered in the end of the Western-led, rules-based international order. By bravely standing up for what is right and taking Israel to the ICJ, however, South Africa showed us that another world is possible: a world where no state is above the law, most heinous crimes like genocide and apartheid are never accepted and the peoples of the world stand together shoulder to shoulder against injustice.<\/p>\n
