Jerusalem: Arkeologi med bulldoser

I Jerusalem er en stor frukthage fjernet på leit etter en gammel dam.
Utgravingen er gjort med bulldoser.
Ingen historisk dam er funnet.

En grønn oase er ødelagt.
Til ingen nytte.

"Israel Razed the Last Orchard in Silwan in Search of Siloam Pool. It Still Can’t Be Found"
(Haaretz 28. april 2023, se Kilde)

Dette er arkeologi på avveier.
Der faget prostitueres for politiske formål.

"Settlere" tar sg til rette i Hebron - med bulldoser

Det gjentar seg i Hebron:

 1. august 2022
"Settlers bulldoze shuttered Palestinian stores in Hebron’s Old City"
"For two decades, settlers have looted and burned Palestinian shops closed by the Israeli army. Now, they’re knocking them down to expand a settlement."

 
20. april 2023:
"Israelis Bulldoze Abandoned Palestinian Shops in Hebron"
"The shops had been closed down by a military order during the second intifada in 2000, and are located in an area that Palestinians are forbidden to enter ■ Members of Israel's security establishment believe that settlers from Hebron are behind the demolition."

Det gjentar seg i Hebron.
"Settlerne" tar seg til rette.
Nå igjen med bulldoser ... mindre enn ett år siden forrige gang.

Kåre Willoch i 2009 om Israel-/Palestina-konflikten: "Veien til katastrofen"

 Kåre Willoch publiserte i Aftenposten i 2009 sin kronikk om Israel- /Palestina-konflikten:

"Veien til katastrofen"
(Hele kronikken under Kilde)

En beskrivelse av hvordan situasjonen har oppstått.
Og med klare meldinger fra en erfaren og respektert politiker.

Her er hans oppsummering:
"100 års dobbeltmoral.
Vår tids ulykker for det palestinske folk har sammenheng med nesten 100 års dobbeltmoral i den vestlige verden. Ord om frihet, demokrati og fred er blitt kombinert med en makeløs toleranse for okkupasjon og undertrykkelse av palestinere.
Man har gjort kritikk mot overgrep virkningsløs ved konsekvent å rette den mot undertrykkere og undertrykte samtidig. Når overgrepene skaper ekstremisme blant de undertrykte, brukes det som bevis for at undertrykkelsen er berettiget. Når de undertrykte reiser seg, understreker man undertrykkernes rett til selvforsvar."

Og her er avslutningen:
"Katastrofe for Israel.
De som forsvarer den israelske politikken overfor palestinerne støtter en politikk som skaper et hat som kan føre til katastrofe for Israel. De gjør det enda vanskeligere for de israelerne som ønsker en annen politikk, å få sitt land til å snu kursen bort fra katastrofen. Venner av Israel bør arbeide for at Israel godtar det arabiske fredsforslaget. Det krever bl.a. grenser som før krigen i 1967, bare med slike justeringer som partene blir enige om, og garantier for Israels sikkerhet."

Min kommentar til artikkelen i Aftenposten:
"Kåre Willoch i 2009 var langt forut for sin tid.
Hans analyse og konklusjon er basert på inngående kunnskap.
I kombinasjon med et moralsk kompass uten misvisning, og bevisst det ansvar som følger med å være en ledende politiker, så summerer han opp
sin konklusjon ...  AV HENSYN TIL ISRAEL:
"De som forsvarer den israelske politikken overfor palestinerne, støtter en politikk som kan føre til hat og katastrofe for Israel.""

Analyse fra 1989: David Weisburd: "Jewish Settler Violence"

David Weisburd er en kjent kriminolog, f. 1954
Allerede i 1989 publiserte han en studie av :
"Jewish Settler Violence"
"Deviance as Social Reaction"

Han konkluderte i 1989 at det var en økende fare for vold utført av settlere.
Weisburd ....
"focuses upon Jewish settlers who evade and resist the rules and laws of that society in the name of "higher" laws."

Weisburd har fått rett.
Det ser vi til fulle i 2023 med sammensetningen av Israels regjering under Netanyahu.
Der nasjonalisme og religion har overtatt i politikken.

Pennsylvania State University Press
"Jewish Settler Violence - Deviance as Social Reaction"
https://www.psupress.org/books/titles/0-271-00662-5.html

Bokomtale:

"Between 1949 and 1967 few Israelis had questioned the boundaries established during Israel's war for independence. Zionist and religious ideologies that advocated Jewish control over all the "Land of Israel"—the areas of Jewish settlement in biblical times—lay dormant. The 1967 victory, which brought the bulk of these territories under Israeli control, rekindled traditional sentiments for the reestablishment of Jewish sovereignty in all these territories. These sentiments became a powerful political force within Israel and provide a growing potential for violence. This book examines those Israelis who have become most identified with this violence. Its focus is upon the development of vigilantism and political deviance in the Gush Emunim settlements."

"This book examines the similarities between deviant behavior and society's reactions to deviance. It examines the deviance of Jewish settlers who themselves advocate or participate in law-violating actions. It describes and explains the social organization of deviant social controls. Rather than centering our view of the normative process in the general society, it focuses upon Jewish settlers who evade and resist the rules and laws of that society in the name of "higher" laws.

A detailed examination of settler rationalizations of vigilante violence against Arabs provides an unusual glimpse of community support for law violations in these areas. Unique quantitative data allow for the first major multivariate analysis of vigilante attitudes and behaviors.

Jewish Settler Violence provides an innovative and thought-provoking approach to violence that is rationalized and legitimized with reference to norms and values. It illustrates the importance of broadening concerns with crime and deviance to include "altruistic" law violations that have more in common with the complex decision-making processes of societal reactions than the routine character of most deviant behavior. It also provides a set of sobering implications for the future of Jewish settler violence. This research suggests that vigilantism and antigovernment violence will increase at the same time that the Israeli government will find it increasingly difficulty to respond to and control settler deviance.

Andrew Feinstein om våpenhandel og korrupsjon

 2011:

”The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade,” by Andrew Feinstein

Utsagn:
"40% av verdens korrupsjon er i handel med våpen":

"Feinstein reported "that the trade in weapons accounts for around 40 percent of all corruption in all world trade The...trade in weapons is extremely closely tied into the mechanics of government. The defence manufacturers, those who make the weapons, are closely tied in to governments, to militaries, to intelligence agencies and crucially to political parties."[18]"
