Ein Artikel der liberalen israelischen Presse. Der oben zitierte Satz kennzeichnet eine militärische Praxis, die aus der politischen Praxis des Wertewestens abgeleitet scheint. Nicht nur in Israel, auch hierzulande. Für nicht wenige ist jeder Palästinenser, jede Palästinenserin und mittlerweile scheinbar alle, die dem Sterben nicht nur angewiedert zusehen und ihre Stimme erheben, ob Muslim, Jude, Christ oder Atheist: HAMAS/Terrorist
“In der Praxis ist ein Terrorist jeder, den die IDF in den Gebieten, in denen ihre Streitkräfte operieren, getötet hat”
Israels "Kill Zones"
Vor über einer Woche tauchte jedoch eine andere Dokumentation des Vorfalls auf Al-Jazeera auf. Sie zeigt vier Männer, nicht einen, die gemeinsam auf einem breiten Weg in Zivilkleidung gehen. Es ist niemand in der Nähe, nur die Ruinen der Häuser, in denen einst Menschen lebten. Diese apokalyptische Stille in der Gegend von Khan Yunis wurde durch eine laute Explosion durchbrochen. Zwei der Männer waren auf der Stelle tot. Zwei andere wurden verwundet und versuchten, weiterzugehen. Vielleicht dachten sie, sie seien gerettet, aber Sekunden später wurde eine Bombe auf einen von ihnen geworfen. Man sieht dann, wie der andere auf die Knie fällt, und dann ein Knall, Feuer und Rauch.
Diese Geschichte ist nur ein öffentliches Beispiel für die Art und Weise, wie Palästinenser im Gazastreifen durch IDF-Schüsse getötet werden. Die Zahl der toten Gaza-Bewohner wird inzwischen auf über 32.000 geschätzt. Nach Angaben der Armee handelt es sich bei etwa 9.000 von ihnen um Terroristen.
Eine Reihe von Kommandeuren der Reserve und des stehenden Heeres, die mit Haaretz gesprochen haben, bezweifeln die Behauptung, dass es sich bei allen um Terroristen handelt. Sie weisen darauf hin, dass die Definition des Begriffs "Terrorist" einen breiten Interpretationsspielraum zulässt. Es ist durchaus möglich, dass Palästinenser, die nie in ihrem Leben eine Waffe in der Hand hatten, posthum in den Rang eines "Terroristen" erhoben wurden, zumindest von der IDF.
"In der Praxis ist ein Terrorist jeder, den die IDF in den Gebieten, in denen ihre Streitkräfte operieren, getötet hat", sagt ein Reserveoffizier, der in Gaza gedient hat.
Mitten in einer Tötungszone
Die Kampfzone ist ein Schlüsselbegriff. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Gebiet, in dem sich eine Truppe niederlässt, in der Regel in einem verlassenen Haus, wobei die Umgebung zu einem geschlossenen militärischen Bereich wird, der jedoch nicht eindeutig als solcher gekennzeichnet ist. Ein anderer Begriff für solche Gebiete ist "Kill Zones".
"In jeder Kampfzone legen die Kommandeure solche Kill Zones fest", sagt der Reserveoffizier. "Damit sind klare rote Linien gemeint, die niemand überschreiten darf, der nicht zu den IDF gehört, damit unsere Streitkräfte in diesem Gebiet nicht getroffen werden." Die Grenzen dieser "Kill Zones" werden nicht im Voraus festgelegt, ebenso wenig wie ihre Entfernung zu dem Haus, in dem sich die Streitkräfte befinden. "

“In practice, a terrorist is anyone the IDF has killed in the areas in which its forces operate."
Israel’s killing zones
However, over a week ago, other documentation of the incident surfaced on Al-Jazeera. It showed four men, not one, walking together on a wide path, in civilian clothing. There is no one nearby, only the ruins of houses where people once lived. This apocalyptic silence in the Khan Yunis area was shattered by a loud explosion. Two of the men were killed instantly. Two others were wounded and tried to continue walking. Perhaps they thought they had been saved, but seconds later, a bomb was dropped on one of them. You can then see the other one falling to his knees and then, a boom, fire and smoke.
This story is but one example, made public, of the manner in which Palestinians are killed by IDF gunfire in the Gaza Strip. The number of dead Gazans is now estimated to be over 32,000. According to the army, some 9,000 of these are terrorists.
A host of reserve and standing army commanders who have talked to Haaretz cast doubt on the claim that all of these were terrorists. They imply that the definition of terrorist is open to a wide range of interpretation. It’s quite possible that Palestinians who never held a gun in their lives were elevated to the rank of “terrorist” posthumously, at least by the IDF.
“In practice, a terrorist is anyone the IDF has killed in the areas in which its forces operate,” says a reserve officer who has served in Gaza.
In the heart of a kill zone
The combat zone is a key term. This is an area in which a force sets itself up, usually in an abandoned house, with the area surrounding it becoming a closed military area, but with no clear marking as such. Another term for such areas is “kill zones.”
“In every combat zone, commanders define such kill zones,” says the reserve officer. “This means clear red lines that no one who is not from the IDF may cross, so that our forces in the area are not hit.” The boundaries of these kill zones are not determined in advance, nor is their distance from the house in which the forces are situated.

#Israel / [l’état-c’est-moi] Netanyahu: Israel won't give in to int'l pressure trying to end war, force electionsAs expected, Netanyahu seems to be melding criticism of his personal leadership with criticism of #Israel's policies and actions, leaving no nuance or separation between the two in his comments.
Netanyahu criticized international pressure trying to end Israel's military operation in Gaza before achieving its goals. He also accused the international community of making "false accusations" against Israel's military, government and himself in an attempt to stop the war prematurely.

Le moment est venu pour les #USA et dans leur sillage la communauté internationale, de prendre une décision : le cycle sans fin de la #violence entre #Israël et les #Palestiniens va-t-il se poursuivre ou allons-nous tenter d’y mettre un terme ? Les USA vont-ils continuer à armer Israël et à déplorer ensuite l’usage excessif de ces armements, ou sont-ils enfin prêts à prendre des mesures concrètes, pour la première fois de leur histoire, afin de changer la réalité ? Et surtout, l’attaque israélienne la plus cruelle contre #Gaza deviendra-t-elle la plus inutile de toutes, ou l’occasion qui s’est présentée à sa suite ne sera-t-elle pas ratée, pour une fois ?
Il ne sert à rien d’en appeler à Israël. Le gouvernement actuel, et celui qui le remplacera probablement, n’a pas et n’aura jamais l’intention, le courage ou la capacité de générer un changement. Lorsque le Premier ministre répond aux propos américains sur la création d’un État palestinien par des mots indiquant qu’il « s’oppose aux mouvements forcés » ou qu’ « un accord ne sera conclu que par le biais de négociations» tout ce que l’on peut faire, c’est rire et pleurer.
Rire, parce qu’au fil des ans, le Premier ministre Benjamin #Netanyahou a fait tout ce qu’il pouvait pour faire échouer les négociations ; pleurer, parce que c’est Israël qui emploie la coercition – la nature de sa politique à l’égard des Palestiniens est une coercition mise en œuvre dans une grande démarche unilatérale, violente, agressive et arrogante. Tout à coup, Israël est contre les actes de coercition ? L’ironie se cache la tête dans la honte.
Il est donc inutile d’attendre du gouvernement israélien actuel qu’il change de caractère. Il est tout aussi vain d’attendre d’un gouvernement dirigé par Benny #Gantz, Gadi #Eisenkot ou Yair #Lapid qu’il le fasse. Aucun d’entre eux ne croit en l’existence d’un État palestinien dont le statut souverain et les droits seraient égaux à ceux d’Israël. Tous les trois, ensemble et chacun séparément, accepteront tout au plus, dans un très bon jour, la création d’un bantoustan sur une partie du territoire. Une véritable solution ne sera pas trouvée ici. Il vaut mieux laisser Israël se complaire dans son refus.
Mais le monde ne peut pas se permettre de laisser passer cette occasion. C’est le monde qui devra bientôt reconstruire, avec ses fonds, les ruines de la bande de Gaza, jusqu’à la prochaine démolition par Israël. C’est le monde dont la stabilité est compromise tant que l’occupation persiste, et qui l’est encore plus chaque fois qu’Israël se lance dans une nouvelle guerre. C’est le monde qui reconnaît que l’occupation est néfaste pour lui, mais qui n’a jamais levé le petit doigt pour y mettre fin. Aujourd’hui, l’occasion de le faire se présente. La faiblesse et la dépendance d’Israël à la suite de cette guerre doivent être exploitées, dans l’intérêt d’Israël également.
Assez de mots. Assez des cycles de négociations futiles organisés par le secrétaire d’État américain Antony #Blinken et des mots durs prononcés par le président Joe #Biden. Ils ne mènent nulle part. Le dernier président sioniste, peut-être le dernier à se soucier de ce qui se passe dans le monde, doit agir. En guise de prélude, on pourrait s’inspirer des paroles étonnamment simples et vraies du responsable de la politique étrangère de l’Union européenne, Josep #Borrell, qui a déclaré : « Eh bien, si vous pensez que trop de gens sont tués, peut-être devriez-vous fournir moins d’armes [à Israël] ».
Toutefois, la question n’est pas seulement de mettre fin à la guerre, mais surtout de savoir ce qui se passera une fois qu’elle sera terminée. Si cela dépendait d’Israël, sous n’importe quel gouvernement, nous retournerions dans le giron chaleureux de l’ #apartheid et nous reviendrions à la vie par le sabre. Le monde ne peut pas accepter cela plus longtemps et ne peut pas laisser le choix à Israël. Israël a parlé : c’est Non. Le temps est venu de trouver une solution semblable aux accords de #Dayton. Il s’agit d’un accord forcé et imparfait conclu en #Bosnie-Herzégovine qui a mis fin à l’une des guerres les plus cruelles et qui, contrairement à toutes les prévisions, a tenu pendant 29 ans. L’accord a été imposé par la coercition.
Un État palestinien n’est peut-être plus une solution viable en raison des centaines de milliers de colons qui ont ruiné les chances d’en créer un. Mais un monde déterminé à trouver une solution doit proposer un choix clair à Israël : des sanctions ou la fin de l’occupation ; des territoires ou des armes ; des colonies ou un soutien international ; un État démocratique ou un État juif ; l’apartheid ou la fin du sionisme. Lorsque le monde se montrera ferme, en posant ces options de cette manière, Israël devra prendre une décision. Le moment est venu de forcer Israël à prendre la décision la plus fatidique de sa vie.

Reports: Five days prior to Israeli army killing Israeli captives, it killed their Hamas captors
Confirmed: 85%-90% of the men stripped to their underwear, blindfolded and paraded around in the world's media as " #Hamas terrorists" by Israel were in fact civilians.
That's according to "Israeli security officials" as quoted in #Haaretz

Civilians make up 61% of Gaza deaths from airstrikes, Israeli study finds
Civilian proportion of deaths is higher than that in all world conflicts in 20th century, Haaretz newspaper says
#Israel tightens military #censorship of the press, amid narrative failures
The Cradle reported this week that the Israeli #Military Censor has deleted details from Israeli media that Israeli helicopter and tank fire has killed Israeli citizens on 7 Oct.
⬥ #Haaretz has removed the admission from its 18 Nov article that #Apache #helicopters targeted the Nova music festival. (364 Israelis were killed according to the police)
⬥ Kan Radio has removed the 15 Oct interview of Israeli woman Yasmin Porat. She was among the first to say that Israeli civilians were “undoubtedly” killed by Israeli forces in Be’eri. (watch with translation) (https://t.me/myLordBebo/10365)
According to data obtained by the 972 Magazine (http://www.972mag.com/israel-military-censor-media-interventions/), the Israeli military partially censored 990 and entirely blocked 159 articles in 2022.
Telling the truth is an unacceptable crime in the faacist apartheid state of Israel: Israeli Minister of Communications:
"In light of the continued distribution of "defeatist and false propaganda and incitement against the State of Israel during the war" in the #Haaretz newspaper, I have submitted to the government a motion for a resolution to stop funding the Haaretz newspaper, including cessation of publication and subscription fees of all users of the state service, including the IDF, police, SHBS, government offices and any government enterprises."
This happens days after this Israeli media said that an investigation would point in the direction that the Israeli Air Force killed some attendees at the October 7 festival where #Hamas attacked.
According to #Haaretz, the #IDF is planning for a new assault after the truce ends, it will be on the South of the #Gaza Strip, where, according to intelligence, most of #Hamas military forces are concentrated in the South.
It is unknown if the assault willl extend to the 14km of the Egyptian border, which #Egypt warned Israel not to attack, or not, either way, around half of the Gaza Strip is militarily occupied or separated from the South, entering the South will enter a new phase of the war.
PS. An Israeli attack against the south will leave over 2 million Palestinians with absolutely nowhere to go. With almost all the houses in the north made uninhabitable, the remaining places will become the same and palestinians will end up without house or shelter, food or fuel in the cold and rainy winter that is coming fast. /Farhad
