Inernationale Kritik an Israels Krieg im Gazastreifen wird immer stärker...
Kritische Stimmen gegenüber der israelischen Kriegführung im Gazastreifen werden in der internationalen Öffentlichkeit immer lauter, nachdem anfangs durchaus noch Verständnis für Israel geäußert wurde.
Gleichwohl rennt die rechtsgerichtete israelische Regierung immer weiter in die politische Sackgasse.
Über die Reaktion der israelischen Regierung auf den Beschluss des Weltsicherheitsrats der Vereinten Nationen (UN) berichtet die israelische Zeitung Haaretz (9. Januar 2009) in ihrer Online-Ausgabe:
"Hours after the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1860 calling for an immediate cease-fire in Israel's offensive in Gaz, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Friday that Israel would continue to act only in its interests and according to its own security needs. (Hervorhebung DK)
'Israel has acted, is acting and will act only according to its considerations, the security needs of its citizens and its right to self-defense,' a statement said. It made no direct reference to how Israel would treat the call for a ceasefire."
Nachzutragen ist der Brief einer Mitarbeiterin des Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), Phyllis Bennis, der bereits am 30. Dezember 2008 in der New York Times abgedruckt wurde. Ein Auszug:
"I believe the Israeli airstrikes are clear violations of international humanitarian law. While the Palestinian rocket fire against civilian targets in Israel may be illegal, that does not give Israel the right to violate the Geneva Conventions.
The airstrikes represent: Collective punishment (the civilian population is being punished for actions of a few militants).
Unlawful attack on civilians in a protected population (the strikes are targeting civilian areas, Gaza being one of the most densely populated areas in the Middle East).
Disproportionate military action (Israel has destroyed the entire security infrastructure of 1.5 million people).
In addition, earlier Israeli actions, like the closing of Gaza’s borders, have led to severe shortages of medicine and fuel, so ambulances can’t respond to the injured, hospitals can’t adequately receive or treat the wounded, and doctors are unable to provide sufficient medical care..."
Phyllis Bennis äußert sich auch ausführlich auf der Webseite von "Democracy Now!".
