Makhe nditsho kwasekuqaleni ukuba andingomxhasi kaSarah Palin kaMongameli. Ndimpapashe esidlangalaleni ndimgxeka ngezizathu ezibini: 1) ukungakwazi kwakhe - okanye mhlawumbi ukungavumi - ukuqokelela iqela lokuqala labacebisi bezopolitiko kunye nabezopolitiko; kunye 2) nokuswela kwakhe ulwazi malunga nemiba ephambili yomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle nowasekhaya. URonald Reagan, ahlala ethelekiswa naye ngenxa yokuqheleka kwezakhono zonxibelelwano ezigqwesileyo, wayengenazo zombini ezi mpazamo.
Ndisoloko ndigxeka uPalin, nangona kunjalo, ndizisola kakhulu. Umntu kufuneka ahlule ubukrelekrele kubukrelekrele. Palin yenza Unobukrelekrele bokuqonda imiba entsonkothileyo-ubonakalisile oku njengerhuluneli yaseAlaska ejongene nemicimbi yamandla enzima. Ngapha koko, izakhono zakhe zonxibelelwano kunye neempawu zakhe zobunkokeli ezingenakuphikwa ziya kumsebenzela njengoMongameli wase-United States.
Okokugqibela, kufuneka kuthiwe uninzi lwamajelo eendaba e-liberal abonisa ngokungazenzisiyo ubundlobongela obuphathekayo obungenazintloni kwezopolitiko ezinje ngoSarah Palin noMichele Bachmann. Oku kubelana ngesondo akubonakali xa iintatheli zenkululeko zidumisa uNancy Pelosi noBarbara Boxer njengamaqhawekazi okwenyani aseMelika.
U-Palin ngoku uphantsi komlilo ngenxa yezimvo azenzileyo kwisitatimende esenziwe ngevidiyo ngoLwesithathu, nge-12 kaJanuwari ngo-2011 malunga nokudutyulwa kabuhlungu eTucson, eArizona kwimpelaveki ephelileyo. Ekuxoxeni ngento ayichaze ngokuchanekileyo njengeengxelo ezingenankathalo ezivela kubantu abazama ukwahlula ityala ngesi siganeko sibi, wathi oku kulandelayo:
Kodwa, ngakumbi ngaphakathi kweeyure zentlekele, iintatheli kunye neengcali akufuneki zenze ifayile igazi oku kusebenza kuphela ekuvuseleleni kwa inzondo kunye nogonyamelo abafuna ukugweba. Iyabekek 'ityala.
Ukusetyenziswa kwegunya langaphambili lerhuluneli yaseAlaska kwamagama athi igazi libel kwakungekho ngobuchule kwezopolitiko . Ukuba wayecetyiswe liqela labacebisi bezopolitiko abakumgangatho ophezulu, ngekhe awasebenzise loo magama mabini.
Ukusetyenziswa kwamagama e-libel egazi kumnike abachasayo abanomdla ekujoliseni kuyo yonke i-vitriol yabo. Baza kumngcolisa ngegama lakhe, ngokungakhathali kwimbali yamaYuda yentshutshiso kwaye okona kubi, i-anti-Semite. Zombini ezi zityholo zizinyeliso ezenyanyekayo. Ngaphandle kwento yokuba uSarah Palin ebelilungu lezopolitiko elonyuliweyo kwilizwe elinamaJuda ambalwa, ebengumxhasi othetha phandle welizwe lakwa-Israyeli kunye nomchasi ongqongqo wokuchasana nobuJuda.
Kwakhona, nangona kunjalo, umbuzo uhlala: Ngaba ukusebenzisa kukaPalin ibinzana legazi kungalunganga? Lo mbuzo uphendulwe ngendlela engagungqiyo kwaphela ngu-Alan Dershowitz, igqwetha le-liberal elinqatyisiweyo kunye nonjingalwazi weSikolo se-Harvard sokungathandabuzeki. UDershowitz, onemvelaphi yobuOthodoki kunye nommeli owaziwayo kwilizwe lika-Israyeli wakhupha le ngxelo ilandelayo kwimpikiswano egwenxa yegazi likaPalin:
Igama elithi 'igazi libel' lithathe intsingiselo ebanzi yentsingiselo kwintetho kawonkewonke. Nangona imvelaphi yayo yembali yayizizityholo zobuxoki ezazisekwe kubuYuda nakubantu bamaJuda, ukusetyenziswa kwayo ngoku kubanzi. Ndiyisebenzisile ukuchaza izityholo zobuxoki nxamnye noRhulumente wakwa-Israyeli ngeNgxelo yeGoldstone. Akukho nto ingalunganga kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo akukho nto ichasene namaSemite kuSarah Palin esebenzisa eli gama ukubonisa into akholelwa ngokufanelekileyo zizityholo zobuxoki zokuba amazwi okanye imifanekiso yakhe inokubangela umntu ophazamisekileyo engqondweni ukuba abulale kwaye enzakalise. Inyaniso yokuba amabini amaxhoba angamaJuda ayinamsebenzi kwaphela kwindlela efanelekileyo yokusebenzisa eli gama lisetyenziswa ngokubanzi.
Akukho nto umntu anokuyongeza kumazwi anje ngobulumko obugqibeleleyo. Nangona kunjalo kukho amanye amanqaku amabini ekufuneka ndiwenzile.
Eyokuqala ngumsindo endiwuva ngakwamanye amaJuda amgwebileyo uPalin. Ityala eliphambili elivelayo lelo lika-Abe Foxman, uMlawuli oLawulayo we-Anti-Defamation League (ADL), owathi wamgxeka ngokusesikweni uPalin kwangolo suku lunye lwengxelo yakhe. Ngenxa yesikhundla sakhe e-ADL, ukohlwaya kwakhe uPalin kunikwa ukuthembeka okungafunekiyo ngamajelo eendaba.
I-ADL inesiko elinekratshi lokulwa ubuhlanga nxamnye nazo zonke iintlanga, imibala kunye neenkolelo. Owangena ezihlangwini zikaMnu Foxman, uNathan Perlmutter wayengumntu ophakamileyo kwimbali yamaJuda aseMelika, ngaphandle kokukhetha kwezopolitiko okanye ukubonakala kokuzimela.
Ngokwahlukileyo, uFoxman waphulukana nokuthembeka ngenxalenye enkulu yamaJuda xa wayeqala ngo-1998 kwiphulo lokulwa nokubulawa kwabalinganiswa nxamnye noMort Klein kunye nombutho awongameleyo, iZionist Organisation of America.
Kwakuloo nyaka, uKlein ngenkalipho wakuchasa ukuqeshwa kukaJohn Roth ukuba akhokele iMyuziyam yaseHolocaust eWashington, D.C. Roth, unjingalwazi kwiKholeji yaseClaremont McKenna, wayebhale amanqaku athelekisa imigaqo-nkqubo yama-Israeli ngokubhekisele kumaPalestina kunye nonyango lwamaNazi lwamaJuda. UFoxman ekuqaleni kuka1998 waxhasa ukuqeshwa kukaRoth kwaye wagxila kwimizamo yakhe yokutshabalalisa isiqu sikaKlein kuluntu lwamaJuda.
Iinzame zikaKlein, nangona kunjalo, kungekudala zakhokelela kuninzi loluntu lwamaYuda oluchasa ukuqeshwa kukaRoth. Ngenxa yolu luvo kuluvo loluntu lwamaJuda, uFoxman watshintsha isikhundla sakhe waba yinkcaso yonyulo lwamaRoth, engakhange axolise ngokuhlasela kwakhe uKlein.
Abo bethu bakhumbula isenzo sikaFoxman esigwenxa ngexesha lempikiswano yaseRoth abamangaliswa zizenzo zakhe ezihlazo zokukhalimela uSara Palin, umhlobo wokwenene woluntu lwamaJuda noSirayeli.
Inqaku lesibini lempikiswano yokuchasana kwegazi likaPalin ngumsindo endiwuva kula magqirha kaMcCarthyism waseKhohlo, ngakumbi uPaul Krugman, uJane Fonda, noKeith Olbermann, abaye batyhola abantu abanjengoSarah Palin, uGlenn Beck, kunye neQela leeTi. intshukumo njengoxanduva lwentlekele yaseTucson. Eyona njongo yabo kukuzama ukuthulisa, ngokugrogrisa, ukubulala abalinganiswa, okanye ngenye indlela, abo bangavumelani ngamandla ne-ajenda yabo yasekhohlo.
Isiteyitimenti sikaSarain Palin sika-12 kaJanuwari yayiyinyani yesibindi yamaxabiso aseMelika endiwathandayo, njengomJuda wamaOthodoki: inkululeko yokusebenzisa inkolo yam yeTorah, apho ndifumana khona uxolo lwangaphakathi kunye nokomoya onzulu, kunye nenkululeko yokuchaza izimvo, ngaphandle kokoyika ukunyeliswa okanye ukunyeliswa. Ufanelwe kukunconywa, hayi ukugwetywa, kuluntu lwaseMelika ngemizamo yakhe yokuba lilizwi lesizathu ngexesha lomsindo omkhulu kunye nokwahlulahlula ezopolitiko.
Ewe iyakuba yintlekele ukuba umsebenzi kaSarain Palin ugqityiwe ngenxa yeengcungcu zeMcCarthyism yasekhohlo ezizama ukusebenzisa intlekele yaseTucson njengendlela yokucinezela nokwabela abo banesibindi sokuchasa ukunganyaniseki kwabo. umbono wasekhohlo.
