Todesfallen für Palästinenser | Von Rainer Rupp

Die US-israelischen Lebensmittelverteilungsstellen in GazaEin Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Vor einigen Wochen hatte das verbrecherische Apartheid-Regime der Zionisten in Israel der humanitären UNO-Hilfsorganisation unter Androhung von Waffengewalt die Verteilung von Hilfsgütern - Lebensmittel, Medikamente und Wasser - im Gazastreifen verboten. Anschließend haben die wegen Völkermords vom Internationalen Gerichtshof gesuchten Mitglieder der Netanjahu-Regierung ihren grausamen Zynismus gegenüber den Palästinensern auf die Spitze getrieben. Gemeinsam mit ihren amerikanischen Komplizen der Trump-Regierung haben sie eine, in Anführungszeichen, „Humanitäre Stiftung für den Gazastreifen“ gegründet, wo nur noch ein Bruchteil der zum Überleben der Gaza-Bevölkerung notwendigen Mengen verteilt wird.Aber viel schlimmer noch ist die Tatsache, dass diese israelisch-amerikanischen Lebensmittelverteilungsstellen zu „Killing Fields“ geworden sind. Denn tagtäglich schießen israelische Soldaten gezielt in die Menge der Wartenden, um einige Menschen zu töten und zu verletzen. Dabei wird kein Unterschied zwischen Männern, Frauen oder Kindern gemacht. Mit den üblichen zionistischen Argumenten wurden diese Berichte von offiziellen Stellen in Israel als hässliche, anti-semitische Propaganda von Judenhassern abgetan. Das Morden an den Verteilungsstellen ging jedoch weiter.Laut einem Bericht der Gesundheitsbehörde in Gaza vom letzten Sonntag zum Beispiel hatten israelischen Streitkräfte in den vorangegangenen 24 Stunden mindestens 86 Palästinenser getötet und 365 verwundet, denn die Israelis hatten weiterhin Ziele im gesamten Streifen bombardiert und zugleich hatten israelische Soldaten weiterhin Hilfesuchende wahllos erschossen. Unter den 86 Getöteten befanden sich 18 Menschen, die Hilfe suchten. Damit hat sich die Gesamtzahl der Palästinenser, die seit Ende Mai beim Versuch, Lebensmittel von den Verteilerstellen abzuholen, erschossen wurden, auf 583 erhöht. Weitere 4.186 Hilfesuchende wurden teils schwer verletzt, was bei vielen den sicheren Tod bedeutet, weil in den zerbombten Krankenhaus-Ruinen Gazas die notwendigen Medikamente nicht ankommen und die medizinischen Apparaturen zerstört sind.Die jüngsten Tötungen von Hilfsgüter-Suchenden ereigneten sich, obwohl wenige Tage zuvor ein Bericht der israelischen Zeitung Haaretz enthüllt hatte, dass diese Morde nicht von unkontrollierten, sadistischen Soldaten ausgeführt werden, sondern hinter den indiskriminierten Tötungen System steckt. Laut Haaretz haben die israelischen Soldaten auf Befehl ihrer vorgesetzten Offiziere wahllos unbewaffnete, friedliche Palästinenser unter Feuer genommen, die vor den US-israelischen Verteilungsstellen für Lebensmittel warteten. Menschen jeden Alters wurden getötet oder verwundet mit dem Ziel sie von den Verteilungsstellen zu vertreiben oder zu zerstreuen, obwohl sie keine Bedrohung darstellen."Es ist ein Schlachtfeld", zitiert Haaretz einen israelischen Soldaten: “Wo ich stationiert war, wurden jeden Tag zwischen einem und fünf Menschen getötet. Sie werden wie eine feindliche Streitmacht behandelt - keine Kontrollmaßnahmen, kein Tränengas – nur scharfes Feuer mit allem Erdenklichen: Mal schwere Maschinengewehre, mal Mörser oder Scharfschüsse.“ Hosted on Acast.

In popular memory, the Second World War was an unalloyed victory for freedom over totalitarianism, marking the demise of the age of empires and the triumph of an American-led democratic order. In Scorched Earth, historian Paul Thomas Chamberlin dispatches the myth of World War II as a good war. Instead, he depicts the conflict as it truly was: a massive battle beset by vicious racial atrocities, fought between rival empires across huge stretches of Asia and Europe. The war was sparked by German and Japanese invasions that threatened the old powers' dominance, not by Allied opposition to fascism. The Allies achieved victory not through pluck and democratic idealism but through savage firebombing raids on civilian targets and the slaughter of millions of Soviet soldiers. The Soviet Union and the United States emerged as hyper-militarized new imperial powers, each laying claim to former Axis holdings across the globe before turning on one another and triggering a new forever war.   Dramatically rendered and persuasively argued, Scorched Earth shows that World War II marked the culmination of centuries of colonial violence and ushered in a new era of imperial struggle.Paul Thomas Chamberlin is an associate professor in history at Columbia University. The author of The Cold War's Killing Fields and The Global Offensive, his writing has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Christian Science Monitor. He lives in New York.For more info on the book click HERE

Kerry and Collin are joined by Jeff Broitman (formerly of the podcast Fresh Perspective) to talk about one of Collin's all-time favorite films, Terry Gilliam's 1985 masterpiece "Brazil." It also happens to be one of Jeff's favorite movies as well. While the film certainly belongs in the "Christmas adjacent" category of Christmas movies, there is nevertheless a richness to it that warrants a long discussion on the film's artistic merit, its place in film history and the role it played in completely disrupting the studio system at the time of its release. It's not a movie for everybody and was never meant to be, but Gilliam's off-center vision of "the future" keeps gaining relevance and becomes more prescient with each passing decade. A very Happy Christmas! The film also rightfully earns its place in... the Book.  Book movies covered: "Brazil" (1985) "Juliet of the Spirits" (1965) "The Killing Fields" (1984)

The story of two journalists reporting on a common cause despite their vastly different backgrounds is what gives NO OTHER LAND its narrative shape — and is what inspired us to pair it with 1984's THE KILLING FIELDS — but the Oscar-nominated documentary is at heart a story about activism, and the weight of maintaining hope amid a generations-spanning conflict with no resolution in sight. We're joined again this week by Slate culture writer Sam Adams to discuss how NO OTHER LAND makes the political personal, then bring THE KILLING FIELDS back in to compare these two portrayals of journalism from very different moments in journalism history, and the quandaries of privilege and guilt that accompany partnerships of unequals.

We're joined this week by Slate writer and critic Sam Adams to revisit Roland Joffé's dramatization of the relationship between New York Times reporter Sydney Schanberg and Dith Pran, the Cambodian interpreter who worked alongside him as the country fell to the Khmer Rouge, to consider how THE KILLING FIELDS plays several decades removed from a conflict that would have been recent history for contemporary audiences.

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: Dr My Le Trinh's story is one of resilience, starting with her traumatic childhood under the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (The Killing Fields). She shared harrowing experiences of losing her mother, fleeing to Vietnam, and growing up without parents. Her eventual refugee journey to Australia brought challenges like cultural adaptation, racism, and working for her extended family by sewing every spare minute while pursuing an education. Denied a childhood, she defied the odds to become a doctor, determined to break cycles of trauma for her family. In our conversation, My Le reflected on the COVID-19 plandemic, revealing the medical system's failings and the influence of media propaganda on public perception. Her story took another turn, with controversies surrounding her prescription of ivermectin, leading to professional and legal challenges. She shared the emotional toll, systemic corruption in medical governance, and her fight to restore her license. She spoke about courage, faith, and standing for truth, even at significant personal cost.

Break 1: KIA MOG   STORY 1:    Gwinnett Father Found Guilty Of Child Cruelty In Death Of His 8-Year-Old Daughter A Gwinnett County jury convicted Cledir Barros of second-degree child cruelty in the death of his 8-year-old daughter, Sayra Barros. Barros, 38, was sentenced to 10 years, with eight years in prison and two on probation, for allowing his wife to abuse Sayra, culminating in her death. This conviction follows two previous mistrials. Barros was aware of the abuse since August 2022 but failed to protect Sayra, even withdrawing her from school to avoid scrutiny. On the incident day, Sayra's stepmother, charged with murder, allegedly beat her with a rolling pin. Barros is prohibited from contacting his remaining children during his sentence. STORY 2: Gwinnett Teen On The Run After Armed Robbery In Buford Gwinnett County Police are seeking public help to find Jay-Lan Broughton, a 17-year-old from Duluth, accused of multiple armed robberies in Buford. On May 24, police responded to a robbery at the 6000 block of Apple Grove Road, where victims reported being robbed of jewelry, a debit card, air pods, and a license by a gunman and accomplices. Investigators linked another suspect, Edmond Buggs, 17, to the crime after his arrest for a separate robbery. Buggs identified Broughton as the armed assailant, confirmed through video surveillance. Broughton is reportedly still armed and may be hiding in Gwinnett County. Anyone with information should contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300 or anonymously via Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or www.stopcrimeATL.com.

Roland Joffe is not a director who's been beloved by critics over the years, but most seem to agree that his magnum opus is the Oscar-winning The Killing Fields. Sam Waterston plays an American journalist in war-torn Cambodia in the aftermath of the Vietnam war, when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge went on a run of violence---especially against their fellow Cambodians---that was chilling. Haing S. Ngor won the Supporting Actor Oscar as Waterston's interpreter and compatriot who goes through horrors...and manages to make it out alive in this real-life tale of fear, friendship and politics. The Killing Fields is a terrific achievement. It just has to deal with the fact that other films have done similar things in the 40 years since this came out.

When you are born in Cambodia and work hard to get through medical school to be an OB/GYN you cannot imagine the horrors of a despotic dictator taking over your country and putting all intellectuals in work or prison camps. Haing Ngor pretended to be a cab driver to stay alive and had to stand by and not reveal his medical skill just to stay alive. In the face of torture and loss of most of his family he stayed alive and made it to a Red Cross outpost by crawling through thorns and eating scorpions to stay alive. Dr. Ngor could not have imagined he would one day be holding the cinematic worlds most prized possession in his hand: the Oscar for his exemplary work in the film "The Killing Fields," which is based on the life of a journalist/guide who helped American journalists get out alive.
