Ich glaube, ich bin im falschen Film.
Spätestens seit Regenbogenfahnen an solchen Demos geschwenkt werden und Queers for Palestines herumlaufen, denke ich das. Das wären die Ersten, welche in einem palästinensischen Hamas-Staats eingebuchtet, gefoltert und abgemurkst werden würden.
Gut, ehrlicherweise sympathisieren sich die meisten Demoteilnehmer ja nicht mit der Hamas, sondern vor allem mit der Bevölkerung von Palästina. Die in diesen Tagen gnadenlos und ohne Rücksicht aufs Völkerrecht niedergemetzelt wird. Warum die internationale Gemeinschaft da nicht schon längst von einem Genozid spricht, ist mir ein Rätsel.
Die gezielte Tötung von Journalisten ist für mich auch ein Unding.
Selbstverständlich kann man argumentieren: Wenn man an eine Demo geht und weiss dass dort antisemitische Elemente dabei sind, gilt mitgegangen, mitgefangen. Fair enough. Vermutlich überlegen die Leute nicht soweit, wenn sie sich für die Zivilbevölkerung einsetzen möchten.
Versteh mich auch nicht falsch, ich ergreife hier auch nicht Partei für eine Seite. Was die Hamas gemacht hat ist an Grausamkeit nicht zu überbieten. Der ewige Raketenbeschuss durch die Hamas ist zu verurteilen, genauso der Wille Israel auszulöschen.
Israel darf sich selbstverständlich wehren, allerdings nicht so wie sie aktuell Krieg führen.

Deaths
Gaza’s ministry of health says that at least 22,835 Palestinians had been killed by yesterday, with another 58,416 reportedly injured. That figure does not distinguish between combatants and civilians, but an estimated 70% are women and children. About 7,000 more are reportedly missing and most are likely dead.
Because Gaza’s ministry of health (MoH) is run by Hamas, the tally it provides has been repeatedly questioned by Israel. But last month, when the MoH figure was 15,899, a senior Israeli official confirmed a reported Israeli estimate of 5,000 dead Hamas militants and roughly twice as many civilians, giving a similar total of 15,000. (An IDF spokesperson called that ratio of two civilians to one combatant “tremendously positive”.) The MoH’s track record across multiple conflicts is broadly consistent with other sources: for example, after a short war between Israel and Hamas in 2014, it gave a figure of 2,310 dead, while the UN later arrived at an estimate of 2,251 and Israel put it at 2,125.
The 22,835 dead represent about one in a hundred of Gaza’s total population. They have been killed at a rate of just under 250 a day (an average that has come down a bit in the last few weeks). It is not known exactly how many of those killed were combatants, but Israel’s own ratio would suggest that on average, more than 160 civilians have died each day.
That is a much faster rate than in other broadly comparable recent conflicts. The US-led coalition fighting Islamic State in Raqqa killed 20 civilians a day during a four-month offensive, the BBC reported, while the nine-month battle for Mosul between US-backed Iraqi forces and IS killed fewer than 40 civilians a day.
Internal displacement
Because of the scale of the crisis, it is hard to maintain precise figures. But by the end of the year, the UN Palestinian relief agency, UNRWA, estimated that 1.9 million people had been internally displaced by the war in Gaza – nearly 85% of the population.
Destruction
Figures from the government media office in Gaza cited by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimate that about 65,000 residential units have been destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. Another 290,000 have been damaged. That means that about half a million people have no home to return to.
Analysis of satellite data cited by the Associated Press suggests that about two-thirds of all structures in the north of Gaza have been destroyed, and about a quarter in the southern Khan Younis area. Across the whole territory, about 33% of buildings have been destroyed. The AP said that the rate of devastation was worse than either the razing of Aleppo in Syria or Russia’s bombing of Mariupol.
Critical infrastructure
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that 23 of 36 hospitals had been rendered completely inoperable by 3 January, with a previous count of 3,500 beds down to 1,400 by 10 December amid vastly increased need.
Gaza’s education system has also been severely compromised: 104 schools have either been destroyed or sustained major damage. In total, about 70% of school buildings have been damaged – and those still standing are largely being used to shelter internally displaced people.
Meanwhile, water production stood at 7% of the prewar supply on 30 December, and there is only one shower for every 4,500 people and one toilet for every 220
Gegen diese Zahlen und dieses Vorgehen zu demonstrieren erscheint mir wichtig und richtig. Die Art und Weise muss aber natürlich stimmen.
