Text

Tá cúrsaí in Gaza ag dul chun donais gach lá dá bhfuil ag teacht. Tá Iosrael ag cur bac ar chabhair dhaoiniúil agus ar lón bia ag gabháil isteach i dtuaisceart Gaza ar gach aon chor. Ní mise atá á mhaíomh sin, a Cheann Comhairle, ach ardoifigeach de chuid na Náisiún Aontaithe. Ach cá bhfuil mé ag caint? Nach bhfuil na Náisiúin Aontaithe ina namhaid ag Iosrael anois? Sin an fáth arbh éigean d’Iosrael beagnach 230 ball foirne de chuid na Náisiún Aontaithe a mharú le bliain anuas. Sin an fáth arbh éigean dó túr faire leis na Náisiúin Aontaithe a scriosadh agus campa de chuid na Náisiúin Aontaithe a ionsaí le tanc ar na mallaibh. Níl a fhios agam cad é a rinne na hoibrithe eile cabhrach as cosán nuair ab éigean d’Iosrael iad a mharú, ná an 800 oibrí sláinte a mharaigh siad ach oiread. Cibé ar bith, tá an pobal idirnáisiúnta go fóill ag díol arm le hIosrael le caitheamh leis na naimhde úd. Tá 400,000 Palaistíneach i mbaol a maraithe i dtuaisceart Gaza. Mura dtuga Iosrael a mbás le buamáil, tabharfaidh siad a mbás leis an ocras. Ní mise atá á mhaíomh sin, ach an grúpa, Jews for Justice for Palestine. Is fiú spléachadh a thabhairt ar an tsuíomh gréasáin s’acu. Gheobhaidh tú eolas ansin ar Sha’ban al-Dalou, mac léinn Palaistíneach, 20 bliain d’aois, a loisceadh ina bheatha an tseachtain seo caite nuair a bhuamáil Iosrael otharlann al-Aqsa arís. Gheobhaidh tú eolas ansin ar "phlean an ghinearáil", plean lena gcuirfear na Palaistínigh uilig go léir amach as tuaisceart Gaza le gorta agus le cibé duine a fhanann ann ina dhiaidh sin a mharú. Tá an plean sin á chur i bhfeidhm cheana féin ag Iosrael. Ní scéal rúin é. D’fhógair Iosrael féin do na meáin chumarsáide go raibh siad le plean an ghinearáil a chur i gcrích. Má éiríonn le hIosrael na Palaistínigh a dhíbirt ó thuaisceart Gaza, tiocfaidh sé chun milleáin ní hamháin d’Iosrael, ach don phobal idirnáisiúnta ina iomláine. Ní mise atá á rá sin — ach an grúpa Iosraelach B’Tselem, eagraíocht Iosraelach atá ag obair in Iosrael ar son chearta an duine. Féadann lucht tacaíochta Iosrael an chluas bhodhar a thabhairt do na Náisiúin Aontaithe, do Amnesty International, do Human Rights Watch agus do na céadta eile eagraíochtaí atá ag éileamh deireadh a chur leis an chinedhíothú ach nuair atá Iosraelaigh iad féin ag éileamh ar a Rialtas deireadh a chur leis an chinedhíothú, nach bhfuil an t-am dearg ag an phobal idirnáisiúnta —
— cluas a thabhairt le héisteacht?
