RENÁN VEGA CANTOR
Éduquer après le génocide de Gaza

Le titre de ce texte paraphrase Éduquer après AuschwitzPDF, titre d’une conférence radiophonique donnée par le philosophe allemand Theodor Adorno en 1966 et publiée plus tard sous forme imprimée, dont les premières lignes se lisent comme suit : « Exiger qu’Auschwitz ne se reproduise plus jamais est l’exigence première de toute éducation. Elle précède tellement toutes les autres que je ne crois pas devoir ou pouvoir la justifier. Je ne peux pas comprendre qu’on s’en soit si peu soucié jusqu’à aujourd’hui. La justifier serait quelque peu monstrueux face à la monstruosité de ce qui s’est passé.  […] Discuter d’idéaux dans le domaine de l’éducation ne mène à rien face à cette exigence : plus jamais d’Auschwitz. Ce fut le type de barbarie contre laquelle se dresse toute éducation. »  Aujourd'hui, nous sommes confrontés à une répétition de la barbarie génocidaire de la part d’Israël contre le peuple palestinien. Dans cet essai, l'historien colombien esquisse ce que pourraient et devraient être les orientations des éducateur·trices critiques animé·es par une éthique humaniste.

Gazans Fled Their Homes.They Have Nowhere to Return to
‘It’s Mind-blowing’: 1.7 Million Palestinians Escaped Israel’s Bombardment of Gaza. Most of Their Homes Have Been Damaged or Destroyed


Satellites reveal the vast devastation across the Gaza Strip. The new reality that the Israel Defense Forces’ operations have created will affect the entire region for years. This is how it looks One of Israel’s most dramatic acts in the war, which erupted following Hamas’ terror attack, is the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Gazans from their homes and the destruction of large swaths of the Strip. Residents, military officials and journalists describe scenes of vast devastation. « It’s like after an atomic bomb, » one of them reported in Haaretz after visiting northern Gaza. An accurate estimation of the destruction is a challenging task due to the fog of war – and as the IDF restricts entry by journalists. But it’s possible to create a map of the destruction using satellite data, which shows that at least half of all the buildings in the enclave are likely to have been damaged or destroyed, according to American researchers. Most of the destruction is in the north, but bitter fighting is also underway in the south, as is seen in the satellite data. Some 1.7 million Gazans have fled their homes during the war, and most of them are now in the south, the United Nations says. Huge tent cities have been put up along the Egyptian border. A new humanitarian, security and diplomatic reality has emerged, and it will shape the region for years to come.

GIDEON LEVY
Une incursion israélienne à Rafah, dans la bande de Gaza, entraînera une catastrophe humanitaire sans précédent

Gideon Levy, Haaretz, 11/2/2024
Traduit par  Fausto Giudice, Tlaxcala

Tout ce que nous pouvons faire maintenant, c’est demander, supplier, crier : « N’entrez pas dans Rafah ». Une incursion israélienne à Rafah sera une attaque contre le plus grand camp de personnes déplacées au monde. Elle entraînera l’armée israélienne dans des crimes de guerre d’une gravité que même elle n’a pas encore commis. Il est impossible d’envahir Rafah aujourd’hui sans commettre de crimes de guerre. Si les forces de défense israéliennes envahissent Rafah, la ville deviendra un charnier.

Environ 1,4 million de personnes déplacées se trouvent actuellement à Rafah, s’abritant parfois sous des sacs en plastique transformés en tentes. L’administration usaméricaine, gardienne supposée de la loi et de la conscience israéliennes, a conditionné l’invasion de Rafah à un plan israélien d’évacuation de la ville. Un tel plan n’existe pas et ne peut pas exister, même si Israël parvient à élaborer quelque chose.

Il est impossible de transporter un million de personnes totalement démunies, dont certaines ont déjà été déplacées deux ou trois fois, d’un lieu “sûr” à un autre, qui se transforment toujours en champs de bataille. Il est impossible de transporter des millions de personnes comme s’il s’agissait de veaux destinés à être expédiés. Même les veaux ne peuvent être transportés avec une telle cruauté.

Il n’y a pas non plus d’endroit où évacuer ces millions de personnes. Dans la bande de Gaza dévastée, il n’y a plus d’endroit où aller. Si les réfugiés de Rafah sont déplacés à Al-Mawasi, comme le propose Tsahal dans son plan humanitaire, Al-Mawasi deviendra le théâtre d’une catastrophe humanitaire sans précédent dans la bande de Gaza.

Yarden Michaeli et Avi Scharf rapportent que l’ensemble de la population de la bande de Gaza, soit 2,3 millions de personnes, est censée être évacuée dans une zone de 16 kilomètres carrés, soit environ la taille de l’aéroport international Ben-Gourion. Toute la bande de Gaza dans la zone de l’aéroport, imaginez un peu.

Amira Hass a calculé que si un million de personnes seulement se rendent à Al-Mawasi, la densité de population y sera de 62 500 personnes par kilomètre carré. Il n’y a rien à Al-Mawasi : pas d’infrastructure, pas d’eau, pas d’électricité, pas de maisons. Seulement du sable et encore du sable, pour absorber le sang, les eaux usées et les épidémies. Cette idée n’est pas seulement à glacer le sang, elle montre aussi le niveau de déshumanisation qu’Israël a atteint dans sa planification.

Le sang sera versé à Al-Mawasi, comme il l’a été récemment à Rafah, l’avant-dernier refuge offert par Israël. Le service de sécurité Shin Bet trouvera un cadre du Hamas qu’il faudra éliminer en larguant une bombe d’une tonne sur le nouveau camp de tentes. Vingt passants, pour la plupart des enfants, seront tués. Les correspondants militaires nous parleront, les yeux brillants, du merveilleux travail accompli par Tsahal pour liquider le haut commandement du Hamas. La victoire totale est proche, les Israéliens seront à nouveau rassasiés.

Mais malgré ce gavage, le public israélien doit se réveiller, et avec lui l’administration Biden. Il s’agit d’une situation d’urgence plus grave que n’importe quelle autre durant cette guerre. Les USAméricains doivent bloquer l’invasion de Rafah par des actes et non par des mots. Ils sont les seuls à pouvoir arrêter Israël.

Le secteur consciencieux du public israélien cherche des sources d’information autres que les stations de « gâteaux pour soldats » qui s’autoproclament chaînes d’information. Regardez les images de Rafah sur n’importe quelle chaîne étrangère - vous ne verrez rien en Israël - et vous comprendrez pourquoi on ne peut pas l’évacuer. Imaginez Al-Mawasi avec les deux millions de personnes déplacées, et vous comprendrez les crimes de guerre qui sévissent ici.


Samedi, le corps de Hind Rajab Hamada, âgée de six ans, a été retrouvé. La fillette était devenue célèbre dans le monde entier après les moments de terreur qu’elle et sa famille avaient vécus le 29 janvier face à un char israélien - moments qui avaient été enregistrés lors d’un appel téléphonique avec le Croissant-Rouge palestinien, jusqu’à ce que les cris de terreur de sa tante s’arrêtent. Sept membres de la famille ont été tués ; seule la petite Hind avait survécu, et son sort était resté mystérieux depuis lors.

Hind a été retrouvée morte dans la voiture brûlée de sa tante, dans une station-service de Khan Younès. Blessée, recouverte par les sept corps de ses proches, elle s’est vidée de son sang avant d’avoir pu s’extraire du véhicule. Hind et sa famille avaient répondu à l’appel « humanitaire » d’Israël à évacuer. Ceux qui veulent des milliers d’autres Hind devraient envahir Rafah, dont la population sera évacuée vers Al-Mawasi.

Hamas' Preliminary Response To a General Framework for a Comprehensive Agreement among the Parties

Here is the full text of the response to the Paris proposal that Hamas delivered to Qatari and Egyptian mediators earlier today Feb. 6, 2024, translated by Resistance News Network. The American and zionist sides received a copy of the 3-page-long response, including amendments to the “Framework Agreement” proposal, in addition to a special appendix of guarantees and demands aimed at stopping the aggression and addressing its affects.

Draft - Preliminary Response/ the Hamas Movement's Response To a General Framework for a Comprehensive Agreement among the Parties (between the "israeli" occupation, Hamas, and the Palestinian factions)

This agreement aims to stop the mutual military operations between the parties, achieve complete and lasting calm, exchange prisoners between the two sides, end the blockade on Gaza, reconstruction, return of residents and displaced persons to their homes, and provide shelter and relief requirements for all residents in all areas of the Gaza Strip, according to the following stages:

 First Stage (45 days):

This humanitarian stage aims at releasing all "israeli" detainees from among women and children (under the age of 19, not conscripted), the elderly, and the sick, in exchange for a specific number of Palestinian prisoners, in addition to intensifying humanitarian aid, redeployment of forces outside populated areas, allowing the commencement of reconstruction of hospitals, houses, and facilities in all areas of the Strip, and permitting the United Nations and its agencies to provide humanitarian services, and establishing housing camps for the population, as follows:

- A temporary cessation of military operations, cessation of aerial reconnaissance, and redeployment of "israeli" forces away from populated areas in the entire Gaza Strip, to be aligned with the dividing line, enabling the parties to complete the exchange of detainees and prisoners.

- The two parties will release "israeli" detainees from among women and children (under the age of 19, not conscripted), the elderly, and the sick, in exchange for a number of Palestinian prisoners, ensuring the release of all individuals whose names are pre-agreed upon during this stage.

- Intensification of the entry of necessary and sufficient quantities for the population's needs (to be determined) of humanitarian aid and fuel daily, allowing appropriate quantities of humanitarian aid to reach all areas in the Gaza Strip including the north of the Strip, and the return of displaced persons to their residences in all areas of the Strip.

- Reconstruction of hospitals across the Strip and introducing what necessary for establishing population camps/tents for sheltering the population, and resumption of all humanitarian services provided to the population by the United Nations and its agencies.

- Beginning of (indirect) negotiations regarding the requirements necessary for restoring complete calm.

- The attached appendix with details of the first stage is an integral part of this agreement, with the agreement on details of the second and third stages during the implementation of the first stage.

Second Stage (45 days):

The completion of (indirect) negotiations regarding the requirements necessary for the continued cessation of mutual military operations and return to a state of complete calm must be announced before implementing the second stage.

This stage aims to release all detained men (civilians and conscripts), in exchange for specific numbers of Palestinian prisoners, continuation of humanitarian measures from the first stage, withdrawal of "israeli" forces outside the borders of all Gaza Strip areas, and commencement of comprehensive reconstruction of houses, facilities, and infrastructure destroyed in all areas of the Gaza Strip, according to specific mechanisms that ensure implementation of this and the complete end of the siege on the Gaza Strip, as agreed upon in the first stage.

Third Stage (45 days):

This stage aims at exchanging the bodies and remains of the deceased between the two sides after identification, and continuation of humanitarian measures from the first and second stages, according to what will be agreed upon in the first and second stages.

Framework Agreement Appendix: Details of the First Stage

- Complete cessation of military operations from both sides, and stopping all forms of aerial activities including reconnaissance, throughout this stage.

- Redeployment of "israeli" forces away from populated areas in the entire Gaza Strip, to be aligned with the dividing line to the east and north, enabling the parties to complete the exchange of detainees and prisoners.

- Both parties will release "israeli" detainees from among women and children (under the age of 19, not conscripted), the elderly, and the sick, in exchange for all prisoners in the occupation's prisons including women, children, elderly (above 50 years), and the sick who were arrested up to the date of signing this agreement without exception, in addition to 1,500 Palestinian prisoners, of whom Hamas will name 500 with life sentences and high sentences.

- Completion of necessary legal procedures ensuring that the released Palestinian and Arab prisoners are not re-arrested for the same charges for which they were arrested.

- The mutual and simultaneous release in a manner that ensures the release of all individuals listed in the pre-agreed lists during this stage, with names and lists exchanged before implementation.

- Improvement of conditions for prisoners in the occupation's prisons and lifting of measures and sanctions imposed after October 7th, 2023.

- Stopping the incursions and aggression by "israeli" settlers on Al-Aqsa Mosque and returning the situation in Al-Aqsa Mosque to what it was before 2002.

   5. Beginning the reconstruction and repair of infrastructure in all areas of the Strip, and rehabilitating electricity, telecommunications, and water networks.

   6. Approving a reconstruction plan for homes, economic facilities, and public utilities destroyed due to aggression, scheduling the reconstruction process within no more than 3 years.

- Resumption of all humanitarian services provided to the population in all areas of the Strip, by the United Nations, its agencies, especially UNRWA, and all international organizations operating to resume their work in all areas of the Gaza Strip as before October 7th, 2023.

- Re-supplying the Gaza Strip with the necessary fuel to re-operate the power generation station and all sectors.

- The occupation's commitment to supplying Gaza with its electricity and water needs.

- Beginning (indirect) negotiations regarding the requirements necessary for the continued cessation of mutual military operations and return to a state of complete and mutual calm.

- The exchange process is closely linked to the extent of commitment to the entry of sufficient aid, relief, and shelter mentioned and agreed upon.

The Elders call for immediate compliance by Israel with ICJ provisional measures


The Elders, 29/1/2024

The Elders was founded by Nelson Mandela in 2007. We are an independent group of global leaders working for peace, justice, human rights and a sustainable planet. @TheElders

 

Statement:  The Elders call for Israel to comply immediately with the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to protect Palestinians in Gaza from acts of genocide.

 


The Elders also call for Israel’s allies to publicly affirm their respect for the Court’s ruling, and to use the political, military and financial leverage at their disposal to ensure Israel’s compliance with the provisional measures.
 
The ICJ’s legally binding decision is a moment of the utmost gravity. 

Israeli forces have killed over 25,000 Palestinians in Gaza, destroyed homes and infrastructure across the territory and displaced up to 1.9 million people. The Elders share the Court’s judgement that this scale of devastation risks causing irreparable harm to the people of Gaza.
  
Israel, as the occupying military power, must comply with the Court’s ruling and implement the provisional measures in full. This includes ensuring its military does not commit any acts of genocide against the Palestinian people as a protected group, including killing members of the group. It also includes preventing incitement to genocide, and enabling provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance. An immediate step must be to lift the siege of Gaza and end the collective punishment of Palestinians.

The Elders support the Court’s emphasis that all parties to the conflict are bound by international humanitarian law, and its call for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages held by Hamas and other armed groups.

All states have a responsibility to respect the Court’s ruling. South Africa has shown moral leadership in bringing this case, and it is now incumbent on others – particularly Israel’s allies and the UN Security Council – to live up to their own moral and legal obligations to prevent acts of genocide, and support the ICJ’s ruling.

As a minimum, Israel’s allies must ensure they are not complicit in any atrocity crimes. The Elders thus reiterate their call for all countries providing military assistance to Israel to place this under review and set new conditions for future provision. Governments which provide military assistance in the knowledge that atrocities are being committed, or may be imminent, risk being complicit. Self-defence can never be a justification for atrocity crimes.

For too long, Israel’s allies – particularly the United States and many European states – have provided political cover for its violations of international law.  This impunity must end now.
  
Political leaders who choose to disregard or undermine the Court’s ruling risk further weakening the international rule of law at a time when it is already acutely under threat. The UN Security Council has a vital role in ensuring compliance with the ICJ ruling and upholding the consistent application of international law. The world is watching.

DAWN
Prime Suspects: Investigating Israeli War Crimes in Gaza

DAWN (Democracy for the Arab World Now) is a non-profit organisation that promotes democracy, the rule of law and human rights for all people in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). It brings together analysts, researchers, lawyers and activists aiming to fulfil the vision of its founder Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi journalist murdered on 2 October 2018, who had founded it in June 2018.

المشتبه بهم الرئيسيون: التحقيق في جرائم الحرب الإسرائيلية في غزة

These are the officers and commanders responsible for executing Israel's war in Gaza. The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is investigating war crimes and crimes against humanity. Here are the prime suspects.

The Prime Suspects

DAWN submitted to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) a list of over 40 individual Israeli military officers who were involved in the first five weeks of the war Israel declared following the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. Each individual officer had command responsibility over units involved in the fighting or bombardment of Gaza between October 8, 2023 and November 13, 2023, or were involved in imposing the siege on Gaza in that time.

Each "Prime Suspect" card includes the name, rank, photo, and role of an individual Israeli commander. DAWN compiled the list of officers exclusively from official Israeli military publications that confirmed the presence of specific military units in specific locations at specific times. (One entry only was verified through a television interview with a commanding officer of the unit in question.) The list includes officers from the rank of lieutenant-general and up who command units no smaller than battalion level forces. It covers nearly all branches of the Israeli military, as well as the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the unit that administers the siege on Gaza.

DAWN is publishing individual "Prime Suspect" cards identifying each officer on a rolling basis on this page.

Colombia: President Petro, it is time to break relations with the genocidal Israeli regime!

Urgent appeal to the President of the Republic of Colombia Gustavo Petro Urrego

“So leave our country
Our land, our sea
Our wheat, our salt, our wounds
Everything, and leave
The memories of memory
O those who pass between fleeting words!”

Mahmud Darwish,
Those Who Pass Between Fleeting Words, 1988

17.11.2023



State of Palestine Street, Bogotá (inaugurated in September 2023)

 
Mr. President Gustavo Petro, friends and other recipients of this communication,

With alarm and anguish we are witnessing the vile genocide perpetrated by the Zionist State of Israel against the Palestinian people. In turn, the United States is complicit in such horror, has deployed its war apparatus to the ar zone and supports Netanyahu's government with weapons.

For decades, it has spent a fortune in arming Israel. This drama is not new, it is 75 years of ignominy since the very creation of this state. It is the aberrant disproportion of two powers raging against a small territory and its people.

Pain and indignation have seized us, the images reveal all the impiety exercised, they have even bombed hospitals and refugee centers causing to date more than ten thousand fatalities without counting the missing, most defenceless girls, boys and women, civilian population. We are seeing the destruction and the bleeding of a people in all its dimension.

Inevitably, repudiation of such ignominy has been expressed from different parts of the world. Massive demonstrations have been held in many cities. As of today, several countries have spoken out. In our case, we are encouraged by your courageous declarations, qualifying this barbarism of the State of Israel as what it is: a genocide, as well as a “cleansing” or continuous ethnic elimination for 75 years. You have pointed out that the Zionist regime has violated human rights, that it has ignored all UN resolutions. You have also condemned their inhumane actions, and this deserves great recognition from us. Colombia, as well as several other countries, has recalled its ambassadors for consultation. The Plurinational State of our sister country Bolivia has broken diplomatic and economic relations with the Israeli State.

Although there is a forceful pronouncement on your part, it is of greater scope, to ratify it, to take one more step; that step that advances among the smoke of bombs to say No more, from our country Colombia we do not condone it. For this reason and in the face of such a misfortune, President Gustavo Petro, we raise our petition, which arises from the heart of the feeling of popular sectors that voted for the Government of Change that you preside together with Francia Márquez. We also call on Colombians who read this communiqué to adhere to this clamor by signing the following petition:

We would like to request President Gustavo Petro, the immediate severance of diplomatic, economic and political relations with the State of Israel with the consequent expulsion from our territory of the diplomatic corps of said country and the cancellation and/or embargo on all contracts concerning military security systems and armaments.

It is imperative to cancel the agreement that absurdly and regrettably grants us the condition of “strategic partner” of NATO, given that our country has no geographical or political reason to belong to that organization. Both the existence of U.S. military bases in our territory and our membership in this military organization, which goes against world peace, not only threatens our sovereignty, but also places us as an ally of the U.S. military forces in the scenario of a possible war between foreign powers. Likewise, Colombia considers itself as a “non-aligned” country, which unfortunately is only possible in words, because in practice we are not, since we are a signatory country of those agreements with NATO and accept the existence of U.S. military bases in our territory, a situation that you fought against and denounced in other days. Asserting Colombia's sovereignty before the world and positioning our country as a territory of peace would constitute the ratification of your policy of total peace, not only for our territory but also for the planet, in accordance with your positioning as a world leader for global peace.

With sincere appreciation and consideration, the following Colombian persons, residing in Colombia and abroad, sign this petition:
