Ein Blick auf den Tag danach, der sicher kommen wird …

Aus der Analyse von Jack Khoury in der heutigen Ausgabe (4. Juli 2023) von Haaretz:

Israel’s Jenin Op Merely Creates Another Generation of Hopeless Palestinian

“ (…) Israelis will go back to normal in a few days, and they expect the Palestinians to do the same – lick their wounds, bury their dead and move on. No one will show any interest in the future, or think of an outline for an agreement, because Israel wishes to cement a reality in which the Palestinians become accustomed to living under Israeli occupation and control, their civil affairs managed by a hobbled Palestinian Authority. From time to time, there’s a limited military operation, which is met with thundering silence by the international community, and particularly Uncle Sam. The issue of control over the Palestinians is of no interest to the decision makers. To them, the Chosen People can rule forever, the Palestinians don’t deserve a future and Palestinian youth must accept the situation.

Two decades ago, Israel embarked on a much broader operation against militants in Jenin, then backed by a leader like Yasser Arafat, and far better organized and funded. Today, Israel fights those who were babies and toddlers then, or not yet born at all. The generation born after the Oslo Accords grew up on the devastation of 2002, on Israeli arrogance and defiance, international indifference, and the disintegration of Palestinian national unity. A generation has arisen of angry, frustrated and hopeless youngsters, who have no purpose but to bear arms and shoot. To Israeli public opinion, a victory photo might have been achieved, but each such operation paves the way for more rounds of fighting and bloodshed.“
