Beendet die Gewalt, lasst die Geiseln frei – Antwort auf den 7. Oktober | Deutsch-Palästinensische Gesellschaft Bremen e.V.

Israelische Akademiker hatten einen sensationellen offenen Brief mit dem Titel „Der Elefant im Raum“ veröffentlicht, unterzeichnet vorwiegend von israelischen und jüdischen Zeitgenossen. Die Verfasser des Briefes haben jetzt eine Reaktion auf den „7. Oktober“ – also auf den Überfall der Hamas auf Israel – verfasst. Auch dieser Text benennt wieder präzise das, worum es geht. Dieser kurze Text hat innerhalb eines Tages bereits über 400 Unterschriften bekommen, darunter übrigens auch von Judith Bernstein und Nirit Sommerfeld. Es tut gut, angesichts der peinlichen Einseitigkeit unserer Medien und Politiker, eine derartige Stellungnahme registrieren zu dürfen.

Der Aufruf mit dem aktuellen Stand der Unterschriften hier: https://sites.google.com/view/israel-elephant-in-the-room/response-to-october-7

Wir, die Unterzeichnenden, verurteilen die Hamas für ihre abscheulichen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit. Diese Terroristen, die Hunderte von Zivilisten, Männer, Frauen, Kinder, Säuglinge und Senioren auf grausamste Weise abgeschlachtet und zahlreiche weitere entführt haben, müssen vor Gericht gestellt werden. Israel hat jedes Recht, sich zu verteidigen und diese Mörder zu verfolgen, wo immer sie zu finden sind.

In dieser Zeit des Schmerzes und der Verwüstung rufen wir Israel dazu auf,

1. alles in seiner Macht Stehende zu tun, um die Geiseln zu befreien. Israel hält eine große Anzahl von Palästinensern in Gefängnissen gefangen, viele von ihnen sind ältere Menschen. Israel muss sich um einen Austausch von Gefangenen bemühen, um seine eigenen und die gefangenen Bürger anderer Länder vor dem sicheren Tod zu bewahren.

2. darauf zu verzichten, die Zivilbevölkerung des Gazastreifens kollektiv für die Verbrechen der Hamas zu bestrafen. Ein Massaker rechtfertigt nicht das nächste. Dies wird nur zu weiteren Verwüstungen führen und den Kreislauf der Gewalt weiter anheizen. Wir rufen zu einem sofortigen Waffenstillstand und zur Deeskalation auf.

3. die gewaltsame Unterdrückung des palästinensischen Volkes zu beenden. Die Apartheid, die jahrzehntelange Besatzung des Westjordanlandes, die 16-jährige Belagerung des Gazastreifens mit zwei Millionen Palästinensern und die Auslöschung der Erinnerung an die Nakba tragen alle zur Verrohung und Gewalt bei. Ihnen muss dringend ein Ende gesetzt werden. Es gibt keinen anderen Ausweg.

Wir dürfen unsere Trauer und unseren Schock nicht dazu benutzen, Rache zu üben und weiteres Blutvergießen unter der Zivilbevölkerung zu verursachen. Wir rufen die israelische Führung, die palästinensische Führung, die Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten, die internationale Gemeinschaft und alle friedenssuchenden Menschen auf der ganzen Welt auf, sich gemeinsam für ein schnelles Ende der derzeitigen Gewalt und für einen echten und gerechten Frieden zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern einzusetzen.

End the Violence, Release the Hostages –

Response to October 7

We, the undersigned, condemn Hamas for its heinous crimes against humanity. These terrorists, who slaughtered hundreds of civilians, men, women, children, babies, and seniors in the most horrific manner and kidnapped scores of others, must be brought to justice. Israel has every right to defend itself, and to pursue these murderers wherever they can be found.

In this time of pain and devastation, we call on Israel to:

Do everything in its power to rescue the hostages. Israel holds vast numbers of Palestinians in prisons, many of them elderly. Israel must seek an exchange of prisoners in order to save its own and other countries‘ captive citizens from certain death.

Refrain from punishing collectively Gazan civilians for the crimes of Hamas. One massacre does not justify another. This will only lead to more devastation, fueling the cycle of violence. We call for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation.

End the violent oppression of the Palestinian people. Apartheid, the West Bank’s decades-long Occupation, keeping Gaza’s two-million Palestinians under siege for 16 years, erasing the memory of the Nakba, now all contribute to the brutalization and violence. They must be urgently brought to an end. There is no other way out.

We must refrain from using our grief and shock to justify revenge and create more civilian bloodshed. We call upon the Israeli leadership, Palestinian leaders, the United States government, the international community, and all peace-seeking people around the world, to work together for a swift end of the current violence and toward a true and just peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
