Kukho malunga ne-1,100 yamaPalestina angamaKristu eGaza, uninzi lwawo luvela kumaKristu okuqala ePalestine (apho ubuKristu baqala khona). Ngethuba lokuqala, abasemagunyeni bakwa-Israyeli bawalahla onke amaphepha-mvume okuhamba aye kumaKrestu asePalestina asuka eGaza ukuya kubhiyozela iPasika njengoko esenza unyaka nonyaka, ngokuthi kulungiswe indlela esuka eBhetelehem isiya eJerusalem ukuze ilandele umendo ka Yesu eluVukweni.
Ngaba isithintelo esinje sinokugwetyelwa iimfuno zokhuseleko kuphela?
Abagadi bamalungelo oluntu bathi, Isigqibo sika-Israyeli sokuyikhaba ngaw 'omane intshukumo phakathi kweGaza kunye neWest Bank kule Pasika kukwaphula amalungelo abantu basePalestina kwinkululeko yokuhamba, inkululeko yenkolo, kunye nobomi bosapho. Isithintelo esandayo ekuhambeni kwamaKrestu asePalestine akhomba kuphunyezo lomgaqo-nkqubo wakwa-Israyeli: umgaqo-nkqubo othintela ukuhamba phakathi kweGaza kunye ne-West Bank eyandisa nzulu ukwahlukana phakathi kwamacandelo amabini e-Palestina.
Inani leemvume ezikhutshiweyo liye lancipha unyaka nonyaka, kwaye kuqukwa ukuvalelwa kwengubo kuye nabani na ongaphantsi kweminyaka engama-55 - kodwa lo ngunyaka wokuqala ukuba umkhosi wama-Israeli ungavumeli maKrestu asePalestina asuka eGaza ukuba aye eJerusalem ngePasika.
Ngelixa abanye beqhuba inkolo yesiLatin kwaye bephawula iPasika nge-21st ka-Epreli kulo nyaka, abanye abaninzi bangama-Orthodox aseMpuma kwaye babhiyozela iPasika ngomhla wama-28th. Imisitho yabo yesiqhelo ibandakanya ukukhunjulwa kweCawa yeSundu eBhetelehem, emva koko umngcelele osuka kwiCawe Lokuzalwa kukaYesu eBhetelehem usiya kwiCawe yeSingcwaba elingcwele eJerusalem, apho amaKristu akholelwa ukuba uYesu wavuswa emva kokufa.
Ngokwentlangano yamalungelo oluntu kwa-Israeli uGisha, “Umququzeleli Wezinto Zaseburhulumenteni Kwizithili (i-COGAT) upapashe izabelo ezibekwe ngu-Israyeli malunga neemvume zeholide eziza kunikwa amaKrestu asePalestina ahlala phantsi kolawulo luka-Israyeli. Isabelo esabiwe yiCOGAT semvume yeholide kubahlali baseGaza kule pasika sinqunyelwe kuphela kubantu abangama-200 abangaphezulu kweminyaka engama-55, kwaye kukuhambela phesheya kuphela; Izabelo zabahlali be-West Bank zikhawulelwe kwiimvume ezingama-400 zokuhambela phesheya, kunye nokutyelela kwa-Israyeli. Oku kuthetha ukuba iintsapho zasePalestine ezahlulwe phakathi kweGaza, Israel kunye ne-West Bank azizokwazi ukuphawula iholide yePasika kunye. Ikwathetha ukuba onke amaKristu eGaza anqatshelwe ukufikelela kusapho nakwiindawo ezingcwele eYerusalem naseWest Bank.

Amagunya omkhosi wakwa-Israeli, alawula yonke imiba yobomi kubantu basePalestine abahlala phantsi kolawulo lwabo eJerusalem, eWest Bank naseGaza, behlala bevala zonke iindawo zasePalestine kwaye bathintela abantu basePalestina ukuba bangahambi phakathi kweedolophu zasePalestine ngamaxesha eeholide zamaJuda.
Ngo-2016 ubuncinci abangama-850 abangamaPalestina abangamaKristu abavela eGaza City Strip bahamba baya kubhiyozela iPasika eBhetelehem kwaye bahlala kwiMpuma yeJerusalem emva kokuba abasemagunyeni bakwa-Israyeli bevumile ukubanika imvume.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- For the first time, Israeli authorities denied all travel permits to Palestinian Christians from Gaza to celebrate Easter as they do each year, by processing from Bethlehem to Jerusalem to follow the path of Jesus in the Resurrection.
- Their traditional ceremonies involve a commemoration of Palm Sunday in Bethlehem, then a procession from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, where Christians believe Jesus was resurrected after death.
- Inani leemvume ezikhutshiweyo liye lancipha unyaka nonyaka, kwaye kuqukwa ukuvalelwa kwengubo kuye nabani na ongaphantsi kweminyaka engama-55 - kodwa lo ngunyaka wokuqala ukuba umkhosi wama-Israeli ungavumeli maKrestu asePalestina asuka eGaza ukuba aye eJerusalem ngePasika.
