Text

Inniu, tugann na Náisiúin Aontaithe chun ár gcuimhne an cinedhíothú agus na daoine uilig go léir a maraíodh dá dheasca. I mí Aibreán na bliana seo, bhí sé 30 bliain ó bhí an cinedhíothú ann i Ruanda. I mí Iúil na bliana seo chugainn, beidh sé 30 bliain ó bhí an cinedhíothú ann in Srebrenica. Agus inniu, beidh sé ocht mí ó d’fhógair Francesca Albanese, rapporteur speisialta de chuid na Náisiún Aontaithe, go bhfuil cinedhíothú á imirt ag Iosrael ar mhuintir na Palaistíne. Go díreach an tseachtain seo caite, dúirt Amnesty International an rud céanna: go bhfuil cinedhíothú ar bun sa Phalaistín agus gurb é Iosrael atá ina bhun. Cá mhéad foras idirnáisiúnta, cá mhéad eagraíocht um chearta an duine agus cá mhéad cúirt a chaithfidh a rá gur cinedhíothú é sula gcreide lucht tacaíochta Iosrael é agus sula n-éirí siad as dul ar leithscéal Iosrael? In áit dearcadh orthu féin agus ar an choir atá Iosrael a dhéanamh sa Mheánoirthear, is é rud atá tacadóirí Iosrael ag ionsaí na Náisiún Aontaithe, ag ionsaí na Cúirte Coiriúla Idirnáisiúnta agus ag ionsaí Francesca Albanese ag iarraidh a clú a bhriseadh. Más iontach le rá é, tá tíortha atá ina mballstáit de na Náisiúin Aontaithe agus a shínigh an Coinbhinsiún ar Chosc agus Pionósú Choir an Chinedhíothaithe, tá sin páirteach sna hionsaithe sin. Ach, le linn do na Stáit Aontaithe agus don Ghearmáin a bheith ag tabhairt na cluaise bodhaire do na heagraíochtaí idirnáisiúnta cionn is nach binn leo a mbriathra, agus le linn daofa páirt a ghlacadh sa bholscaireacht in éadan na Náisiún Aontaithe nó na Cúirte Coiriúla Idirnáisiúnta, ní hamhlaidh do chuid mhór grúpaí Giúdach ar fud an domhain. Shínigh 30 grúpa Giúdach ón Eoraip, ó Mheiriceá Thuaidh agus ó Iosrael, shínigh sin ráiteas ar na mallaibh ina dtugtar tacaíocht do Francesca Albanese agus don dlí idirnáisiúnta. Inniu, táimid ag machnamh ar an chinedhíothú agus ar na daoine uile go léir a fuair bás dá dheasca. Tá fir, mná agus páistí ag fáil bháis dá dheasca anois láithreach. Ná bímis caoch ar an chinedhíothú sin toisc gur Arabaigh atá á marú.
