1 | Israel: A Belief In Coexistence – Interview With Activist Ibn Ezra | Israely: Finoana ny ho fiaraha-miaina – resadresaka tamin'n’ilay mafana fo Ibn Ezra |
2 | While Israel as a whole has moved to the right in recent years, there are nevertheless Israelis who oppose their government's policies towards the Palestinians, and are active in groups such as Peace Now, Gush Shalom, New Profile, Machsom Watch, Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, and Anarchists Against the Wall. | Raha nikisaka tany ankavanana Israely manontolo tato anatin'ireo taona vitsivitsy farany teo, mbola misy ihany ireo Israeliana manohitra ny pôlitikan'ny governemanta manoloana ireo Palestiniana, ary mavitrika anatin'irony vondrona tahaka an-dry Peace Now, Gush Shalom, New Profile, Machsom Watch, Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, ary Anarchists Against the Wall. |
3 | Global Voices Online has interviewed activist Joseph Dana, who blogs at Ibn Ezra, about his involvement with the group Ta'ayush (“coexistence”), the state of activism in Israel, and using social media to get the message out. | Nanadihady an'ilay mafana fo Joseph Dana izay mitoraka blaogy ao amin'ny Ibn Ezra ny Global Voices Online momba ny fandraisany anjara ao amin'ilay vondrona Ta'ayush (”fiaraha-miaina”), ny toetry ny firotsahana an-tsehatra mavitrika any Israely, ary ny fampiasana haino aman-jery sosialy ho fampitàna hafatra. |
4 | Why have you chosen to use the name Ibn Ezra? | Fa maninona ianao no nifidy hampiasa ny anarana Ibn Ezra? |
5 | I am a student of Jewish philosophy and as such I have come into contact with the 11th Spanish Jewish philosopher Avraham ibn Ezra. | Mpianatra filozofia Jiosy aho ary izany no nahatonga ahy afaka nifandray tamin'ilay filozofy Espaniola Jiosy faha-11 Avraham ibn Ezra. |
6 | Ibn Ezra was a Bible commentator and wrote extensively about co-existence between Jews and Arabs in Muslim Spain. | Mpandalina ny Baiboly i Ibn Ezra ary nanoratra betsaka momba ny fiaraha-miainan'ny Jiosy sy ny Arabo any amin'ny tontolo Silamo ao Espana. |
7 | When I was thinking about a title for the website it felt like a natural fit. | Fony aho nieritreritra izay ho lohatenin'ilay vohikala dia tonga ho azy tato an-tsaiko io anarana io. |
8 | It is also a meaningful play on words, as ibn Ezra literally means “son of Ezra,” as if we who are involved in direct action are all sons of the prominent activist Ezra Nawi, a long time member of Ta'ayush and a guru of the Israeli and Palestinian left whom I wanted to include on the website in a meaningful way. | Kilalaon-teny koa izy io, satria ara-bakiteny ibn Ezra dia midika “zanakalahin'i Ezra,” toy ny hoe izahay izay tafiditra ao amin'ilay fihetsiketsehana dia zanak'ilay mafana fo matanjaka Ezra Nawi, mpikambana tao amin'ny Ta'ayush nandritra ny fotoana lava ary ‘gourou'-n'Israely sy ny hery havia any Palestinian izay niriako ampidirina tao amin'ilay vohikala tamin'ny fomba lavalava kokoa. |
9 | Joseph Dana documenting new construction at an outpost near the Israeli settlement of Susya in the southern West Bank. | Joseph Dana mandray an-tsoratra ny fanamboarana vaovao any amina ‘outpost' akaikin'ny toby Israeliana any Susya tany atsimon'ny West Bank. |
10 | Could you tell us something about Ta 'ayush? | Afaka miresaka momba ny Ta 'ayush aminay ve ianao? |
11 | How did you first get involved? | Ahoana no nahatafidiranao voalohany indrindra? |
12 | From its earliest days, Ta'ayush has produced action only, neither manifestos nor ideological debates. | Hatramin'ny niandohany, tonga dia hetsika ihany no tena nataon'ny Ta'ayush, tsy nisy fihetsiketsehana na adihevitra ideolojika. |
13 | The group that consolidated wanted to reverse the usual scale of priorities: after realizing that declarations do not always stand the test of ‘moments of truth', action was chosen as the way to demonstrate a refusal to accept the repetition of incursions, and to be present where things took place. | Naniry ny hampitsimbadika ireo mizànan'ny laharam-pahamehana mahazatra ilay vondrona izay efa niha-mafy: taorian'ny nahitàna fa ireo fanambarana dia tsy mahatohitra foana manoloana ny sedran'ireo ‘fotoanan'ny ampamoaka', nofidiana ny tonga dia hetsika ho fomba fanehoana ny fandàvana ny fiverimberenan'ireo fananiham-bohitra, ary mba ho eo amin'ny toerana nisian'ny zava-nitranga. |
14 | Direct, non-violent action was the path chosen, as well as decision-making by consensus. | Ny fidirana an-tsehatra mivantana sy tsisy herisetra no làlana nofidiana, toy izany koa ny fanapahan-kevitry ny marimaritra iraisana. |
15 | Ta'ayush formulated a position paper by the end of December 2000, but its fine-points took up too much time and energy. | Nanao tetika ny Ta'ayush nanomboka tamin'ny faran'ny volana Desambra 2000, nefa nitaky fotoana sy hery betsaka izany fikononkononany izany. |
16 | It was decided to put off this task, and gain the participation of everyone who identified with the actions that were planned to express clear positions. | Tapaka fa hahemotra io asa io, ary handray ireo izay nanolo-tena tamin'ny hetsika nomanina hanehoana toerana mazava. |
17 | Protest by actual doing, by outspoken negation of the separation between Arabs and Jews in Israel in every realm of life, and of the Occupation itself, of starvation, closure, movement limitations and military incursions that Israel practices in the Occupied Territories. | Manohitra amin'ny alalan'ny hetsika amin'izao fotoana izao, amin'ny alalan'ny fitsorana ny fandàvana ny fisarahana eo amin'ny Arabo sy Jiosy any Israely amin'ny lafiny rehetra amin'ny fiainana, ary ny fanjanahana mihitsy, ny mosary, fikatonana, ny famerana fihetsiketsehana sy ny fandefasana miaramila ataon'ny Israely any amin'ireo Faritra Voazanaka. |
18 | As an Israeli-American concerned with the conflict and firmly against the occupation I was drawn to Ta'ayush because of the inclusion of voices and viewpoints. | Amin'ny maha- Israeli-Amerikana mahatsapa tena ho tafiditra amin'ilay disadisa sy manohitra tanteraka ny fanjanahana ny tenako, voasarik'i Ta'ayush aho noho ny fisian'ireo feo sy fomba fijery ao aminy. |
19 | I feel that most of the organizations and groups on the ground are deeply mired in rigid ideological viewpoints. | Mahatsapa aho fa ny ankabeazan'ireo fikambanana sy vondrona any an-toerana no tafalatsaka lalina anatin'ireo fomba fijery ara-potokevitra mafy orina. |
20 | Ta'ayush, while clearly against the occupation, does not make solid claims on ideology or long term goals. | Ta'ayush, na dia manohitra mazava ny fanjanahana aza dia tsy manana foto-kevitra mafy orina sy tanjona maharitra. |
21 | Instead we focus on direct action week after week. | Ho solon'izay dia mifantoka amin'ny firotsahana an-tsehatra mivantana izahay isan-kerinandro. |
22 | Furthermore, as an Israeli Jew, I think that it is important to work with fellow Israelis that want to break down barriers between Palestinians and Israelis, as opposed to simply fueling anti-Israeli rhetoric like other anti-occupation groups tend to do. | Fanampin'izany, amin'ny maha Israeliana Jiosy, mieritreritra aho fa tsara kokoa ny miara-miasa amin'ireo Israeliana te-handrava ny elanelana misy eo amin'ny Palestiniana sy Israeliana, toy izay mikiakiaka fotsiny ny kabary fanoherana ny Israeliana toy ny ataon'ireo vondrona hafa. |
23 | While you are clearly working to support Palestinians in resisting the actions of Israeli settlers, the military and the police, your videos seem to focus on the experience of the activists themselves, rather than that of the Palestinians. | Raha manohana mazava ireo Palestiniana miaritra amin'ireo mpanjanaka Israeliana, ny miaramila sy ny polisy ianao , toa mifantoka amin'ny zavatra iainanan'ireo mafana fo mihitsy kosa ireo horonantsarinao, mihoatra noho ny an'ireo Palestiniana. |
24 | Is this because the videos are aimed at an Israeli audience? | Satria ve natokana ho an'ireo Israeliana ireo horonantsary? |
25 | Often times the interaction that we experience is between us and the settlers and soldiers. | Matetika ny fifandrohizana iainanay no eo aminay sy ireo mpanjanaka ary ireo miaramila. |
26 | Understandably, Palestinians tend to hover behind us during these interactions because they live by a very different system of laws than we do. Meaning, an Israeli can be detained and by law will see a judge within 24 hours while a Palestinians can sit in jail for up to three days before seeing a judge. | Mazava ho azy, mijanona any aorianay ireo Palestiniana mandritra izany fifandrohizana izany satria lalàna samihafa amin'ny ampiharina aminay no iainan-dry zareo. Ohatra amin'izany, afaka samborina ny Israeliana iray ary tsy maintsy ampihaonina amin'ny mpitsara aorian'ny 24 ora fa ny Palestiniana kosa mety mijanona any am-ponja 3 andro mahery vao mahita mpitsara. |
27 | So they generally prefer to leave the interactions with the soldiers/settlers to the Israeli activists. | Noho izany dia aleon-dry zareo mamela ny fifandrohizana amin'ireo miaramila/mpanjanaka sy ireo mafana fo Israeliana. |
28 | There is an aspect of showing the interaction vis a vis the rule of law between Israelis and soldiers/settlers to the Israeli general public and the American Jewish community (the website is in English specifically because my main audience is the United States public). | Misy endrika iray fanehoana ny fifandrohizana amin'ny lalàna misy eo amin'ireo Israeliana sy ireo miaramila/mpanjanaka amin'ny vahoaka Israeliana sy ny fiaraha-monina Jiosy Amerikana (amin'ny teny Anglisy manokana ilay vohikala satria ireo mponina any Etazonia no tena mpihaino ahy). |
29 | I want to stress the image that Israelis that choose to work with Palestinians against the occupation lose some of their rights as citizens and efficiently start to experience a slice of the reality of law that Palestinians have to live with. | Te-hanasongadina ny sary mampiseho fa ireo Israeliana izay mifidy ny hiara-hiasa amin'ireo Palestiniana manohitra ny fanjanahana dia very zo sasantsasany amin'ny maha-olom-pirenena azy ary manomboka miaina ampahany amin'ny lalàna iainan'ireo Palestiniana. |
30 | I want to cover our reaction to this phenomenon and show it to Jewish communities throughout the world. | Te-hanaparitaka ny fihetsikay manoloana izany toe-javatra izany aho ary hampiseho izany amin'ny fiaraha-monina Jiosy maneran-tany. |
31 | Do you feel that anti-occupation activism has increased or decreased in Israel in recent years? | Mahatsapa ve ianao hoe nitombo sa nihena ny hetsika fanoheram-panjanahana tany Israely nandritra izay taona vitsivitsy farany izay? |
32 | How are Israeli activists generally perceived? | Ahoana no fijery ireo mafana fo Israeliana amin'ny ankapobeny? |
33 | Is there mainstream Israeli media coverage of the activism taking place? | Miresaka momba izany hetsika miseho izany ve ireo haino aman-jery lehibe any Israely? |
34 | Israel has moved far to the right over the past ten years as Israeli society has largely accepted the status quo of occupation and the lack of a Palestinian partner for peace. | Nihisaka lavitra any ankavanana Israely nandritra izay folo taona farany izay ary nanaiky ny fizirizirian'ny fanjanahana sy ny tsy fisian'ny mpiara-miasa Palestiniana ho an'ny fandriampahalemana. |
35 | “Leftwing” governments' consistent role in the settlement project since 1967 and the recent war in Gaza has exposed the weakness of traditional left parties like Labor and Meretz. | Ny andraikitry ny governemanta ‘havia' ao amin'ny tetik'asa fanjanahana nanomboka tamin'ny 1967 sy ny ady farany tany Gaza dia naneho ny fahalemen'ireo antoko ‘havia nentim-paharazana' toa an-dry Labor sy Meretz. |
36 | As a result of these trends, I feel like the Israeli left has died. | Toa noho izany toe-javatra izany no nahafaty ny hery havia tao Israely. |
37 | In its place, a new left has begun to take shape. | Avy eo nisy havia vaovao indray niforona naka ny toerany. |
38 | A left that is interested in direct action against the occupation and is highly critical of the Israeli army and security establishment. | Havia izay liana amin'ny fidirana an-tsehatra mivantana manohitra ny fanjanahana ary tena mpanakiana manoloana ny tafika Israeliana sy ny fampandrian-tany napetraka. |
39 | While this group is still a minority, it is gaining strength and exposure, however the majority of Israel considers it to be radical and questionable. | Na dia mbola kely aza ity vondrona ity, mihamafy sy miha-malaza izy, nefa ny ankabeazan'ireo Israeliana dia mahita fa ‘radical' sy mampametra-panontaniana izy. |
40 | As a result, anti-occupation activists tend to be marginalized in the general public. | Vokany, ataon'ny vahoaka an-jorom-bala foana ireo mafana fo manohitra ny fanjanahana amin'ny ankapobeny. |
41 | But it should be noted that occupation monitoring organizations such as Peace Now, B'tselem, and Yesh Din garner respect in society and are recognized as important resources for information. | Nefa tsara ny manamarika fa ireo fikambanana manohitra ny fanjanahana toa ny Peace Now, B'tselem, sy Yesh Din dia hajain'ny fiaraha-monina ary ekena ho loharanom-baovao goavana tokoa. |
42 | In terms of mainstream media coverage of our actions, most media outlets are happy to air footage or reports of settler violence. | Raha ny momba ny fanaparitahan'ny haino aman-jery goavana ireo hetsikay indray, ny ankabeazan'ireo haino aman-jery dia faly ny hamoaka horonantsary na tatitra momba ny herisetran'ireo mpanjanaka. |
43 | However, the media is still unwilling to air stories or footage of IDF violence directed toward Israeli peace activists. | Na izany aza, mbola tsy te-hamoaka tantara na horonantsary momba ny herisetra mivantana ataon'ny IDF amin'ireo Israeliana mafana fo mpikatsaka fandriampahalemana ny mpampita vaovao. |
44 | This is a line that simply has not been crossed in Israel yet, as the majority of the Israeli public is not yet willing to challenge the dominance of the IDF. | Tsipika mbola tsy nodinganina io tany Israely, satria mbola tsy vonona ny hanohitra ny fanjakazakan'ny IDF ny ankabeazan'ireo Israeliana. |
45 | I have been working hard on using internet media to get out Ta'ayush experiences and it has been met with great success. | Niasa mafy tamin'ny fampiasana haino aman-jery amin'ny aterineto aho mba hamoahana ireo zava-niainan'ny Ta'ayuh ary tanteraka soa aman-tsara izany. |
46 | My website has become a resource for on-the-ground videos and commentary about the reality of the occupation in the south West Bank. | Lasa loharanon'ireo horonantsary nalaina nivantana teny an-toerana sy ny tsikera momba ny zava-marina amin'ny fanjanahana any atsimon'ny West Bank ny vohikalako. |
47 | The live tweeter updates (@ibnezra) that I have been sending from the West Bank have found an important international audience that I hope will grow as the story of Israelis that resist the occupation must be told. | Nahasarika ny sain'ny vahoaka maneran-tany ireo fanampim-baovao mivantana tamin'ny tweeter (@ibnezra) nalefako avy any West Bank ary manantena aho fa hitombo hatrany izany satria mila ambarany tantaran'ireo Israeliana manohitra ny fanjanahana. |
