South Africa Is Right to Invoke the Genocide Convention Against Israel’s War on Gaza

By the 1920s, Lemkin was formulating the concepts and laws that were articulated in his best-known book, Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (1944). His unpublished manuscripts reveal that he saw colonialism as an integral part of a world history of genocide.

Those manuscripts covered an extremely wide range of cases where European colonial powers were responsible for mass killing, from the Spanish conquest of the Americas in the sixteenth century and the slaughter of indigenous peoples in Australia and New Zealand to the German massacre of the Hereros in Namibia a few decades earlier.

Israel‘s war on Gaza encapsulates the entire history of European colonialism

In North and South America, Australia, Asia and Africa, European settler-colonialists have left behind the evidence of their psychotic genocidal practices.

The European transatlantic slave trade may have halved the population of Africa, some historians believe. The US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many African colonies were all built on the systematic extermination, displacement and internment of the original inhabitants.

In the Israeli settler-colonialism now on violent display in Gaza and the rest of Palestine, European colonialism is living up to its murderous infamy and has returned to the global stage with a vengeance.

For decades, scholars of European colonialism have been working hard to document, archive and connect these episodes of the premeditated mass murder of native people around the globe.

Kriegstaumel in den deutschen Medien

Die bloße Aussicht, dass die verheerenden Kriege in der Region unter Bedingungen beendet werden könnten, die den Einfluss der Westmächte und ihrer regionalen Verbündeten schwächen – darunter so blutrünstiger Diktatoren wie Ägyptens Präsident Abdel Fattah al-Sisi und Saudi-Arabiens Kronprinz Mohammed bin Salman –, lässt sie jede Vorsicht vergessen. Um zu verhindern, dass Russland und China an Einfluss gewinnen, wollen sie die blutigen militärischen Interventionen unbedingt fortsetzen, die die Region in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten in eine Hölle für ihre Einwohner verwandelt haben.

Dede Korkut

Die Geschichten stammen aus mündlicher Tradition und basieren auf den Erinnerungen der Ogusen an ihre zentralasiatische Heimat.

Die Figur des Dede Korkut (Großvater Korkut) erinnert stark an Dichter und Magier der schamanistischen Ära. Als epischer Sänger begleitet er sich mit der Streichlaute kobys, die er selbst erfunden hat. Dede Korkut verkörpert die Erfahrung und die Vernunft der Ahnen. Er ist immer neutral und wird von Freund und Feind respektiert.
