“Those who invoke History will certainly be heard by History. And they are going to have to accept their verdict.”
Dag Hammarskjöld
Swedish diplomat
April is never any other way. He always drowns in himself, so that in the morning I woke up with the news of the rise in it price of the chocolate: a ton of cocoa is already worth as much as a ton of copper, which no matter how much we use it, it cannot be eaten. And it is that he climate change It affects everything, be it shutting down the Panama Canal or threatening so many products. Coffee seeds, for example, cannot withstand being frozen, they are more like an embryo. And this means that outside the wild environment, half of the species of that wonder of which the great Johann Sebastian Bach even composed a work, the “Coffee Cantata” (BWV 211), are not supported.
But the weight of April, and of time, does not stop. Yesterday in the vote of the Council of Security of the UN, Palestine He needed at least nine votes out of a total of fifteen to have member status of the body. She got twelve. With everything and the abstention of Switzerland and the United Kingdom. But the United States used its veto, in contrast to the fact that the Security Council has long supported the two-state solution, one Israeli and the other Palestinian. That is in contrast to what has been called an investment for peace.
It seems like it will be an endless, total offensive. Israel's wave of attacks has reached the Al Basma Fertility Clinic in Gaza. And with that, a missile annihilated more than four thousand embryos, in addition to a thousand vials of sperm from the place where most of Gaza's frozen embryos were stored; behind each embryo a long and expensive story of thousands of families. The missile, one more of the sea of missiles in the escalation of the military force of the State of Israel on the Palestinian people, fits with what specialists point out that it occurs at the end of the stages of colonialism on a people occupied by force, a stage itself. marked by an increase in savagery, which even reaches genocide. And it is more than the United States, the great ally for Israel is time. Time to take over that territory, this in what Google employees critical of the use of that company's technologies have called “the first genocide driven by Artificial Intelligence.”
Gone are the days of leaders like King Faisal and his oil embargo in retaliation for Western support for Israel. On the verge of mass starvation, Gaza is surrounded by Arab countries more concerned with building gigantic buildings.
It seems that the evils of the climate, the evils of war or biased policies are as inexhaustible as human suffering, like the sea. This while nationally there is misinformation about the issue of informal preventive detention, which the authorities use so much to exempt themselves from doing their job well while so many people, -generally the poorest-, remain in prison, in many cases only because of prejudice.
April is time, and as such it will not stop. Like the sea and as it seems, the International Community will continue regarding a territory that, like ours, will hopefully one day live in peace.
