A propos des déclarations de Lula sur Gaza.

Date : 19 février 2024

La prise de position mise en ligne ici a été soumise à la discussion du réseau des signataires de l’appel Left Renewall suite à la première réunion des signataires francophones de cet appel du 18/2/24

Lors du sommet de l’Union Africaine à Addis Abeba, le président brésilien Lula a déclaré : « Ce qui se passe dans la bande de Gaza avec le peuple palestinien ne s’est produit à aucun autre moment de l’histoire. En fait, cela s’est déjà produit : lorsque Hitler a décidé de tuer les juifs. »

Il est important, pour les militants de gauche qui veulent rétablir un véritable internationalisme reposant sur la vérité et ne soutenant aucun camp géopolitique,  de donner quelques arguments situant et réfutant les propos de Lula, et indiquant ce qu’il en est réellement des crimes commis à Gaza. C’est important d’abord parce que Lula a été une grande figure du mouvement ouvrier latino-américain et mondial, ensuite parce que ses propos vont sans aucun doute être diffusés et répétés partout, et qu’ils doivent nous permettre de réveiller les esprits critiques.

Pour situer les propos de Lula, il faut d’abord rappeler qu’ils sont tenus à Addis Abeba, en présence de la puissance invitante : le premier ministère éthiopien Abiy Ahmed, ancien prix Nobel de la paix, responsable de la guerre du Tigré (2020-2022), qui a fait, selon l’Union africaine, 600 000 morts, plus selon d’autres sources. Il s’agit donc du conflit causé par une situation d’oppression nationale le plus meurtrier, avec l’invasion de l’Ukraine, des trois dernières années. A présent, l’Éthiopie devient un nouveau membre des BRICS élargis, ses habitants et ses terres étant livrés à l’exploitation sans frein de firmes souvent indiennes, saoudiennes ou chinoises.

Pour situer les propos de Lula, il faut ensuite les rapprocher de ses déclarations faites le même jour au même endroit pour qu’il soit fait preuve de « retenue » et de « modération » à propos de la mort de l’opposant russe Navalny, dénonçant quiconque, comme des millions de Russes et d’adversaires de la tyranie partout dans le monde, oserait lier cette mort aux actes du président Poutine.

Retenue et modération avec son ami Poutine : effectivement, jamais Lula n’a parlé de risque génocidaire à propos des appels de Poutine à mettre fin une fois pour toute à l’Ukraine et aux Ukrainiens, et des actes barbares massifs de ses forces en Ukraine.

Voila qui situe les propos de Lula et devrait rendre méfiant envers lui quiconque veut sincèrement et efficacement défendre les droits humains, démocratiques et nationaux du peuple palestinien.

A quoi est réellement comparable la destruction engagée de Gaza par l’armée israélienne ? Pas à la Shoah, mais à la destruction de Marioupol réalisée par l’armée russe en 2022. Avec les incertitudes existant à ce sujet, le nombre de morts est similaire, et il est potentiellement plus élevé à Gaza en raison d’une population plus importante. A Marioupol, c’est une russification qui a suivi la destruction. A Gaza cela risque d’être un exode, une seconde Nakba. Les méthodes sont proches dans les deux cas. Une différence est qu’à Marioupol, les troupes ukrainiennes n’ont pas interdit l’accès aux quelques souterrains existant pour se mettre à l’abri, alors qu’à Gaza le Hamas s’octroie le monopole des souterrains beaucoup plus étendus.

C’est une condamnation politique et morale terrible du gouvernement et de l’État israéliens que de faire savoir et dénoncer cette similitude entre Marioupol et Gaza. Parler de Shoah n’augmente en rien leur responsabilité morale, politique et militaire, mais introduit une confusion érigeant « Israël » en coupable comparable aux nazis, un amalgame qui nourrit directement l’antisémitisme contemporain. Le fait que Netanyahou et son gouvernement et l’armée israélienne facilitent un tel amalgame n’est en rien une excuse.

Pourquoi cet amalgame de la part de Lula ? Il s’explique pour les mêmes raisons que son silence sur les massacres au Tigré et sa complicité avec Poutine. Lula ne cherche aucunement à défendre les Palestiniens. Il défend le système mondial des impérialismes multipolaires, qui porte en lui la guerre « comme la nuée l’orage » (Jaurès). Les internationalistes aspirant à l’émancipation humaine combattent ce système et la totalité des pouvoirs impérialistes et sont avec les Ukrainiens, les Palestiniens, les Tigréens, les Juifs confrontés à l’antisémitisme et toutes et tous les opprimés.

English text :

At the African Union summit in Addis Ababa, Brazilian President Lula said, « What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has not happened at any other time in history. In fact, it has already happened: when Hitler decided to kill the Jews. »

It’s important, for left-wing activists who want to re-establish a genuine internationalism based on truth and not supporting any geopolitical camp, to give some arguments situating and refuting Lula’s words, and indicating what is really going on with the crimes committed in Gaza. This is important, firstly because Lula was a great figure in the Latin American and world workers’ movement, and secondly because his words will undoubtedly be broadcast and repeated everywhere, and should enable us to awaken critical minds.

To situate Lula’s remarks, we must first recall that they were made in Addis Ababa, in the presence of the inviting power: Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, a former Nobel Peace Prize winner, responsible for the war in Tigray (2020-2022), which, according to the African Union, claimed 600,000 lives, and more according to other sources. Along with the invasion of Ukraine, this was the deadliest conflict caused by national oppression in the last three years. Ethiopia has now become a new member of the enlarged BRICS, with its people and its land given over to the unbridled exploitation of firms that are often Indian, Saudi or Chinese.

To put Lula’s words in context, we must then compare them with his statements made on the same day in the same place calling for “restraint” and “moderation” over the death of Russian opponent Navalny, denouncing anyone who, like millions of Russians and opponents of tyranny around the world, would dare to link this death to the actions of President Putin.

Restraint and moderation with his friend Putin: indeed, Lula never spoke of a genocidal risk in connection with Putin’s calls to put an end once and for all to Ukraine and Ukrainians, and the massive barbaric acts of his forces in Ukraine.

This puts Lula’s words in context, and should make anyone who sincerely and effectively wants to defend the human, democratic and national rights of the Palestinian people wary of him.

What can the ongoing destruction of Gaza by the Israeli army really be compared to? Not to the Shoah, but to the destruction of Mariupol by the Russian army in 2022. With the uncertainties that exist on this subject, the death toll is similar, and potentially higher in Gaza due to its larger population. In Mariupol, it was a Russification that followed destruction. In Gaza, it’s likely to be an exodus, a second Nakba.

The methods are similar in both cases. One difference is that in Marioupol, Ukrainian troops did not forbid access to the few existing underground shelters, whereas in Gaza, Hamas has granted itself a monopoly on the much larger underground shelters.

It is a terrible political and moral condemnation of the Israeli government and state to make known and denounce this similarity between Marioupol and Gaza. To speak of the Shoah in no way increases their moral, political and military responsibility, but introduces a confusion that setting up “Israel” as a culprit comparable to the Nazis, an amalgam that directly feeds contemporary anti-Semitism. The fact that Netanyahu, his government and the Israeli army facilitate such an amalgam is no excuse.

Why this amalgam on the part of Lula ?  For the same reasons as his silence on the massacres in Tigray and his complicity with Putin. Lula has no intention of defending the Palestinians. He is defending the world system of multipolar imperialism, which carries war “like the cloud carries the storm” (Jaurès). Internationalists aspiring to human emancipation fight this system and the totality of imperialist powers, and stand with Ukrainians, Palestinians, Tigrayans, Jews facing anti-Semitism and all the oppressed.
