“The problem of Palestine is not a question of religions, the problem of Palestine is a colonial project.” One of the most repeated phrases during the interview that highlights the role of Western powers. In that sense, they stated that it is a project that “to this day continues to protect the interests of Europe and the United States,” which explained, they stressed, the “absolute impunity” with which, they criticize, Israel operates. Mohrez harshly criticized the fact that no measures are taken against the Israeli State and the scope is limited to partial decisions. “Israel would have run out of bullets a long time ago if Europe and the United States did not continue supplying it with that weaponry.” With no one to stand up to it, Israel continues its process of cornering and displacing the population. Both highlighted the “false peace agreement in Gaza” where in recent months there have been hundreds of deaths” and stated that “they are pushing the West Bank population towards Syria” in order to concentrate the Palestinian population in increasingly smaller spaces. There are some 11,000 hostages, including children, Mohrez denounced who do not know why they are there. They are hostages, not prisoners, because they have not committed any criminal act. Now it has been established the death penalty, only for the Palestinians, he stressed without the international community doing anything. Cabrera, for his part, attributed this legislation to electoral calculations of the Israeli Government. “This measure is basically due to the fact that Netanyahu needs an argument for the next elections and to be able to reconstitute this government that he has with the extreme right.” confession, “there are Jews, Christians and Muslims,” and because Judaism, Christianity and Islam were born in that region, Mohrez stressed. In his argument, he gave examples of historical coexistence between communities, such as the fact that the keys to the Holy Sepulcher have been guarded for centuries by a Muslim family or that in Jerusalem churches have coexisted for centuries alongside mosques and synagogues. In parallel, he stressed, the majority of those who occupied the territory and formed the State of Israel. They come from different countries in Europe. Thus, he once again emphasized that it is about access to natural resources “and nothing more” and stated that they seek to “cleanse Gaza” to exclude the Palestinian population from the business. In this situation, he warned about the future of other places where Israel could already be planning a similar intervention. Specifically, he pointed out the south of Argentina and Chile and stated that “15,000 Israeli reservists are entering every year… mapping the region”; dynamics that, according to his interpretation, already occurred in Palestine. He even raised the possibility that that area could become “the future Israel II.” Finally, they invited people to attend the screening of the documentary, and then a colloquium, ‘Free Palestine: From Colonialism to Genocide’, held by Mohrez himself. It will be this coming Tuesday, May 19, starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Insular Youth Center.
