Κατα του Ισραηλ και των Η.Π.Α για τον πολεμο στην Παλαιστινη ο ο Roger Waters

Τις δικιες του ανησυχιες για τον αδικο πολεμο
στην λωριδα της Γαζας εκφραζει ο Roger Waters
με ενα αρθρο του στο Salon.com
Πιο συγκεκριμενα ο Rogers Waters αναφερει
"οι ΗΠΑ θα μπορούσαν να συμβάλλουν στο να δοθεί ένα τέλος πια σ’αυτή την αιματοχυσία
όμως δεν το κάνουν. Αντιθέτως, μέλη του Κογκρέσου προασπίζονται τα ισραηλινά
επιχειρήματα χωρίς να λαμβάνουν υπόψιν τους την οπτική των Παλαιστινίων.
Ισχυρίζονται ότι βάσει δικαιοσύνης, το Ισραήλ δρα πιο ελεύθερα και δίκαια έτσι,
 και επικαλούνται το δικαίωμα του Ισραήλ για αυτοάμυνα, παρά το γεγονός ότι,
ως δύναμη κατοχής, έχει την υποχρέωση να προστατεύσει τους Παλαιστινίους
που εξουσιάζει και όχι να τους σφαγιάζει.
Το διεθνές δίκαιο έχει θεσπιστεί για να προστατεύει
 τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα και θα πρέπει να εφαρμόζεται  παντού»

Why moral perversity of U.S. position in Gaza is stunning

The carnage in Gaza continues after the latest collapse of cease-fire talks and over four weeks
 of asymmetrical bombardment by Israel. With the death of more than 2,000 Palestinians,
and the displacement of hundreds of thousands more, the complicity of the American
government has been exposed to the world as never before. Yet the mantra repeated
ad nauseam by the U.S. government and media alike remains the same: Israel has a right to defend itself.

The moral perversity of the U.S. position is stunning. How can the U.S. government
ask Israel to be more careful about civilian lives while simultaneously arming and
then rearming the IDF so it can more effectively inflict such devastation on an imprisoned and occupied people?

The U.S. could act to stop the senseless slaughter but it won’t. Instead, it’s cheerleading.
 Members of Congress are mindlessly parroting Israeli talking points without a thought given to the Palestinian perspective or to preserving human life. Brimming with righteousness, they argue for turning Israel loose – Sen. Rand Paul in particular – and invoke Israel’s right to self-defense, despite the fact that, as the occupying power, Israel has an obligation to protect the Palestinians it rules, not massacre them.

Do congressional leaders ever stop to wonder what they would do if they were born Palestinian,
 had their homes and private property stolen from them, and were forced to live without freedom
under an illegal Israeli occupation for 47 years? Do they know what it means to be on the receiving
end of Israel’s barbaric “mow the lawn” euphemism?  Scarcely a word is said about the rights of Palestinians
 who are being pummeled from the sky and shot dead in their neighborhoods by the region’s most powerful military.
 What, I wonder, would Americans do if it were their neighborhoods being invaded and if they were the ones
 living under siege? I think it’s safe to say Americans wouldn’t stand for it.

Despite these realities, it’s far more advantageous in Washington
to come down like a ton of bricks on the Palestinians and maintain
that they are the cause of their own suffering. No politician’s
 career has ever been hurt by blaming Palestinians or by applauding
 Israel’s illegal occupation, colonization and war crimes.
