The massacre in Israel: what was it
The tragic events that accompanied the transfer of the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem this week once again highlighted the key problems of today's world order. And if the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is far from all, then the problems that it clearly shows have the widest scope.
While American pastors near the new US embassy offered prayers in honor of Donald Trump, the Israeli military fired on Palestinian demonstrators. Whether there were provocations on the part of the protesters towards the soldiers of the Israeli army is an open question, as well as the question of the legality of the use of force, the involvement of specific victims in specific offenses and other complex and uncomfortable questions. And the fact of the presence of these questions and the lack of answers to them is the most burning problem of the present time. Indeed, apart from spineless deep concerns and calls for restraint, the current international structures called upon to defend the global order cannot do anything.
In the situation of the shooting of people, no international investigations followed, nor even condemnations from anyone except Palestine itself. Hamas was named the only cause of disaster, and all those shot and injured are to blame for this themselves. This situation too closely resembles the situation in the Donbass, with shelling of cities and civilians, where also the local population, along with “bandits and militants”, is guilty of all their troubles and has no right to life or even to an investigation. The situation, which we call "going beyond" and other long terms are used, although for such manifestations for a very long time there is a very specific and understandable term "fascism".
