This is the trailer of the documentary "To Shoot an Elephant" Alberto Arce, a reporter for 32 years, covering as "embedded journalist" or perhaps better said a witness, the slaughter of gaza strip.
less than a year, all TV and newspapers bombard us (as was bombed Israelis and Palestinians) with images of thousands of deaths from the conflict in the Gaza Strip. And even now barely remember, this story still continues to produce a situation of constant violation of international law and, especially Human Rights by failing to establish any kind of accountability, no control of this alleged peace, nor any interest in what that keeps happening and what happened. Because what we remember as data and news that kept repeating, was a reality, a reality Alberto Arce was in charge of reminding us in this documentary. A documentary that should shock us but that has barely been mentioned.
In a superb interview Guanter Pilar, the journalist admits that what hurts most of all is precisely this lack of impact of consequences for the images shown by what happened .
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights said that a year after the attack on the Gaza Strip "and despite the findings of the Fact Finding Mission of the UN that both the Israeli military and Palestinian armed groups violate international law and committed war crimes in addition to serious violations of the Geneva Conventions and possible crimes against humanity, has not blamed anyone for the crimes, which included the slaughter of more than 1,400 Palestinians, 13 Israelis and the total destruction or severe damage of approximately 22,000 buildings. "
addition, the statement continued, the siege illegal residents of Gaza continues.
This is alarming, slanderous, bigoted, and a lot of adjectives, but it's real, yes, it's happening. Right now.
happens and we forget, no matter whether or not we learned, or not interested that we learn.
The questions that we asked barely a year on this conflict, "Why is this and why people can not live in a country although they have different religions? Why fight for pieces of land when a home is where you feel happy? Why kill and die for it? What we consider freedom? Why we're all so fucking selfish and look the other way? Do they have to end up dying all to do something? ".
continue, but maybe we should stop thinking so naively and clarify them or even be realized in just one: Who cares that this conflict occurs and all these deaths? Because unfortunately this question at the end is the only one able to answer others.
The answer clearly and openly offered Bill Christison, retired CIA officer, and Kathleen Christison, analyst withdrawal of the CIA policy experience on issues on the Middle East over 30 years. Both wrote a study in 2007 (2007! Before the final slaughter in which there was / is practically nothing) that has recently translated and published the journal Futures rioplatiense , and that the website has Rebelión Share kindly. In this work, both explained in an interesting way (I recommend reading here full) body hidden interests (or both) of the Israeli lobby and the U.S. government, joining in a single and can be reached too dangerous (as has already been checked). With a metaphor whether Israel is the tail wagging the dog (USA) or if the dog is moved by the tail, is really scary reality of American politics, the power of Israeli lobby and pressure and manipulation of the media and of all those who have tried to bring this reality more than the finger.
I'm not going to play everything they say, because it would not be able to explain even half of it at all, and summarize it would be something terrible, because it must be leio in detail. So I will just add that with the conclusion that no dogs or tails, and that it is only a single horrible two-headed monster, us back to a reality that neither the most original horror films could imagine. As
documentary Roberto Arce, show us that everything is but a carefully planned move by some interest which is all that matters here, and in which the lives of people, words, feelings, even encouragement, they mean almost nothing.
