Gaza’s past preserved as present is destroyed
As the systematic death and destruction in Gaza continue, banks in a series of increasing problems and danger to the future.
Dr Lee Duffield, a former ABC correspondent in Europe, examined some consequences of the war during the recent visit.
The bombing of Gaza in this century is the second time.
A exhibition this year, the closing date of November 3, Arab World Museum In Paris, it documents how the region is ruined War in 1917 And surviving cultural treasures were rescued from Israel’s attacks this time.
History Lessons – Not Good Learned
British artillery, Australians, rewarded the Turkish imperial forces in World War I, disrupting and destroying the centuries -old oasis settlement among the dunes along the coast.
Gaza was on important trade routes, enriched and celebrated as a center of art and creative architecture; The exhibition was depicted at the before and after the exhibition showing a exotic and elegant place.
The population was small at that time. By 2023, the region was crowded with more than two million people, a result 1948 NakbaWhen the Palestinians were driven from their homes to the sea and put on the camps.
If Gaza had lost its famous beauty and charm, the brave building of a new community with museums, hospitals and universities could create thoughts on how to find it in the eyes of beauty.
However, Israel’s bombardments ended this optimistic motivation for the destruction of the murdered people and their homes, worse than the 1940s London Blitz; Apart from that, as the human spirit is, there will be recovery and protection in memory to help reconstruct.
Culture – Protecting Treasures from the Past
Enter some French archaeological expeditions in the 1990s with the participation of Palestinian Inspectors and others. These are perhaps with a preface of the arrivals, rediscovered and went to security, a treasure of work to be protected and showed the world.
On time. Prime Minister’s first extreme right government Benjamin Netanyahu He was elected in 1996 in Israel. He was only in office for three years, but ten years later he would go back to more authoritarian and aggressive, expanded periods.
REMOVAL OF ARTEFFES Elgin MarblesHe was stolen from Greece by a British scam and was still stubbornly held in London; Systematic vandalism in Gaza made this salvation to keep it safe in one place and to protect a blessing of human civilization. When governments act to get to know the Palestinian state, it gives evidence of the deep legacy and culture behind it.
From him Brochures:
… “Treasures saved from Gaza. 5,000 -year -old History” exhibition … 130 masterpiece selection from the City of Gaza.
… Abu Bureij Mosaic, including invaluable pieces … The exhibition reveals the prestigious history of this Palestinian city, many archaeological sites that are currently in danger.
It was supplied for a special collection and museum exhibition in Geneva.
Anti-Culture-Big Bombers
The level of destruction reached in Gaza witnesses the developments made with ammunition. Famous or infamous, in the 1970s, Americans were allegedly able to leave a higher equivalent explosives in Vietnam in the World War II.
“Super Bombs”shock and awe“In 2001, the attacks on the Taliban positions in Afghanistan flew up all the slopes as it was advertised. In Gaza, high bulletin houses, mosques and office buildings are downloaded within a minute.
Nevertheless, to create higher efficiency and more comprehensive destruction, the newer generation of “traditional” explosives are worked on kilograms with kilograms.
Devil chemistry involves the development of high -energy units with power. polynitropolycic cages; high -energy density Cyclic nitramin The explosive material in which the research wrestle with “sensitivity” problems for the explosion to start the explosion more effectively; And RdxCyclic nitramine, which provides an additional damage size, known as a very toxic pollutant of air and soil.
The United States remain in the forefront of such work and passes to Israel to high -tech material. On June 22, if the three main nuclear development areas in Iran were bombed, he undertook the tasks himself as 14 tons. GBU-57A/B MOPor “shelter buster”Bombs. These are special for the USA delivered by private vehicles – Tomahawk Cruise missiles and B2 Stealth bombers.
The bombs penetrated 60 meters to concrete, and removed them from service to reach underground nuclear complexes. A block of blocks deployed by the Israelis was inadequate and required a repeated hit to pass under each strike. The attacks on nuclear facilities have been expected for several years, and since the early development of Israel, he has pressured to access Bunker Buster.
The first bombardment in 1917 was a pale shadow of the expanding contradictions that were still expanding in 2025. How do effective vulnerable civilians last and how do they survive?
Counterpoint
A touching counterpoint, destruction, flexibility, suffering and swollen, mostly a re -merger about young lives, the Judisches Museum is in Frankfurt – Jewish Museum in Frankfurt Am Main. The elegant, expanded former Rothschild Palace, the community embraced and integrated into the German life, then betrayed, subjugated and mostly killed by the Nazi state reveals a narrative. Collection of a local family, Anne Frank. Real and intelligent, no need to rhetoric.
Where is the connection of the terrible actions committed in the name of the Jewish state in Gaza and West Bank? First attack on Israel October 7, 2023The call is just an excuse for the barbarian waste it provoked. If it is good, a durable sense of victim and “never again”, what can be, a bad sign for future times, because the Palestinian Arabs under the weapons will not be prepared or forget.
Rights and mistakes?
If you accept the right to conquest, claim the Jewish’s myth in the soil in advance. The blinking fanatics on the Israeli side are content to justify the conquest of the land with a simple reading of the sacred texts: the God of Abraham did not promise the land and anyone else. The Scriptures in question are generally Exit Story Old Testament From the Christian Bible produced about 2,500 years ago.
Undoubtedly, a critical modern reading, which is not overly informed by other readings, can make you more cautious. One suggestion is about how the conquest of the Israeli tribes crossing the river after a series of victories and the war began to fight a successful siege and displacement.
Most importantly, in the story, God was behind them, even as a intervention in the battlefield seems to be personified. Of course, as the story said, they themselves were convinced of this divine guilt and direction. Also, most importantly, an important point here, so are the advocates, Kenananlar. They heard the approaching Juggernaut; They were told that God strengthened his enemies, lending his strong arm as an invincible in the war. More importantly, they believed it – and that’s why he had no chance.
The difference in 2025 is that this time, extremely strong advocates do not believe it. There is no such psychological error line, there is no disobedience in the mind. Emotions are different: beyond anger and simple anger, you can now expect disgust and humiliation. A tragic anger that will hold.
