היום,
לפני שנה בדיוק, מת אורי אבנרי. מה הוא היה אומר על המצב, על נתניהו, על
הבחירות? דבר אחד בטוח: אלה היו דברים מקוריים ומעניינים. כמו תמיד אצלו.
אבנרי ציווה לשרוף את גופתו ולפזר את אפרו בים. פעם אמר לי: "אכלתי דגים כל ימי חיי ונהניתי, בבוא הזמן ראוי שגם הדגים ייהנו ממני".
(...)
אם אבנרי היה אתנו היום, הוא היה משתגע לנוכח העובדה שנושא הסכסוך עם
הפלסטינים איננו נמצא במרכז מערכת הבחירות, ובעצם איננו נמצא אפילו
בשוליה. קראו עוד
We Miss You, Uri Avnery
Aug 20, 2019 - Nehemia Shtrasler
Uri Avnery, the writer, Knesset member and peace activist, died a year ago,
on August 20. What would he have said about the current situation,
about Netanyahu, about the elections? One thing is certain. His comments
would have been original and interesting, as was always the case with
him.
In
his will Avnery directed that his body be cremated and his ashes
scattered at sea. He once told me: “I’ve eaten fish my whole life and
enjoyed it. When the time comes, it would also be fitting for the fish
to enjoy me.”
(...) If
Avnery were with us today, he would go wild over the fact that the
conflict with the Palestinians isn’t central to the election campaign,
or actually even a marginal issue. Full text
Here
follows an article of Jeff Halper which is not exactly what Avnery
would have written but which he may have chosen as "Article of the
year".
The Meaning of Israel’s Massive Housing Demolitions in East Jerusalem
Jeff Halper | The Nation, Aug. 6, 2019
| The scale, visibility, and violence of the Wadi al-Hummus demolitions is a gauntlet thrown in the face of civil society—us. The message from Israel: If you think the international community will come to your aid, just watch the reactions to our in-your-face demolitions. The US government supports us totally. A UN Security Council resolution condemning the Wadi al-Hummus demolitions was struck down by a US veto. The reaction of the EU (“The continuation of this policy undermines the viability of the two-state solution and the prospect for a lasting peace”) sounds almost computer generated. China, Russia, India, Brazil, the Arab world, all traditional supporters of Palestinian rights? Far too indebted to Israeli arms and security technologies to ever impose sanctions. - Unless we come up with a just political endgame (...) and an effective strategy for mobilizing our forces, we will be left stewing in helpless outrage |
