Israelsk avis: Ingen luftalarm til arabiske byer
Den igangværende israelske operation mod Libanon skyldes, som det vil være bekendt, ikke kun Hizbollahs bortførelse af to israelske soldater, men også et massivt raketangreb mod byer især i det nordlige Israel.
Raketter skelner ikke særlig godt mellem forskellige slags folk, og for Hizbollah er en israeler åbenbart en israeler, for Israels drusiske og arabiske byer er ikke blevet skånet for Hizbollahs kommandoer.
For de israelske myndigheder er en israeler imidlertid ikke blot en israeler - i apartheid-staten Israel er de arabiske og drusiske indbyggere ikke værd at ofre hverken beskyttelsesrum eller luftalarmer på, læser vi i den israelske avis Yedhioth Aharanoth:
Since the fighting broke out, the media has demonstrably ignored the bombs and missiles that have landed on Druze and Arab settlements, and the despair of those citizens has not been heard. Morning, noon and night, only Jewish voices are heard expressing their fear. Others are forgotten, without a trace, despite the fact that these settlements have absorbed dozens of strikes. There is widespread damage, many injuries and several fatalities.Således fortæller indbyggerne i den arabiske by Nazareth, at No one told us to take shelter:
As opposed to the Jewish sector, the Arab and Druze home front can't take refuge in bomb shelter or reinforced room, and they don't have the benefit of warning sirens.
The Home Front Command does not publish its announcements in Arabic, and the settlements themselves don’t qualify for government aid for being in the "line of fire."
Residents of predominantly Muslim and Christian town accuse government of failing to sufficiently instruct residents on what to do when rockets hit; ‘If they had instructed us to take cover, as in Jewish towns, death of two children might have been prevented,’ Nazareth man says.Et eksempel på et fundamentalt problem ved hele ideen om en jødisk stat - at repræsentanter for andre trosretninger og etniske grupper automatisk gøres til andenrangsborgere? Eller er det måske snarere et udtryk for usædvanligt stupid, racistisk systemtænkning?
