Se hab<\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span>a programado mi encuentro con Mussad Bakr por la tarde. El d<\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span>a anterior hab<\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span>a telefoneado a Mussad, y por su voz deduje que se trataba de un hombre mayor, aunque lo imagin<\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span>como alguien con energ<\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span>a. Por eso me sent<\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span>impactada por la realidad. Le esperaba en la bah<\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span>a de Gaza, cerca de un barco grande de color rojo. Entonces apareci\u00f3: un hombre en la cincuentena, de aspecto esquel<\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span>tico, tan delgado, con su espalda casi curvada y su pelo del color de la ceniza que le ca<\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span>a del cigarrillo que sosten<\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span>a con extremo cuidado. Nos sentamos en un banco de piedra junto al barco, en compa\u00f1\u00eda de algunos j\u00f3venes pescadores que se nos unieron. Le hice una <\/span><\/span>\u00fa<\/span><\/span>nica pregunta, <\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>\u00bfCual es tu historia, Mussad?<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span>. Su respuesta fluy\u00f3 sin pausa hasta el final. <\/span><\/span>\u00c9<\/span><\/span><\/span>stas son sus palabras:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Antes y despu<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Me inici<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>en la pesca hace 27 a\u00f1os, para ser exacto. Me decid<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>por la pesca porque adoro esta actividad; siempre ha sido y siempre ser<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1 mi <\/span><\/span><\/span>afici\u00f3n. Pero, nunca realmente me par\u00e9 a pensar las consecuencias de esta profesi\u00f3n. Aventurarse en el mar no es tan seguro, tan entretenido o tan provechoso como lo fue en el pasado. Antes ten<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>amos el mar m<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1s f\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>cilmente a nuestra disposici\u00f3n (de los pescadores) que hoy en d<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a. Se nos consideraba los <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201creyes\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span>de Gaza. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00c9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ramos reyes porque <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ramos capaces de navegar desde la costa gazat<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>a la egipcia y permanecer en el mar el tiempo que quisi<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ramos. Si necesit<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>bamos dinero, no ten<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>amos m<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>s que salir al mar y pescar tanto como quisi<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ramos. Luego vend<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>amos o nos aliment<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>bamos con el pescado obtenido. La pesca era nuestra elecci\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>n.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a1Ahora, es una obligaci\u00f3n inevitable!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hace quince a\u00f1os, cuando Abu Ammar (Yasser Arafat) era el jefe de la Autoridad Palestina, ten<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>amos acceso a las aguas de la costa egipcia. El doble de pesca<\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Nos preguntamos \u201c\u00bfd<\/span><\/span><\/span>onde se<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>supone que vamos a pescar ahora? \u00bfY ma\u00f1<\/span><\/span><\/span>ana?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

M\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>s tarde, el soldado israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>Gilad Shalit fue capturado por fuerzas palestinas en 2006. (En 2006 una escuadra armada de guerrilleros de la resistencia de Hamas cruz\u00f3 la frontera pasando a los territorios ocupados por un t<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00fa<\/span><\/span><\/span>nel subterr<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>neo. Hicieron explosionar las puertas posteriores de un tanque matando a dos\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>soldados e hiriendo a otro; un cuarto soldado, Gilad Shalit, fue hecho prisionero. Lo mantuvieron en cautividad hasta que en 2011 se hizo un canje de prisioneros). Despu<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>s de eso, la rabia contenida del sionismo estall\u00f3 en un torrente de venganza contra todos nosotros. Un total de dos millones de personas de nuestro pueblo todav<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a estamos sufriend<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mussad\"<\/p>\n

o las consecuencias. Hoy, ni siquiera podemos permitirnos alimentar a nuestros hijos.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Los sionistas proh<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>ben a nuestros barcos aventurarse m<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>s all<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1 <\/span><\/span><\/span>de entre tres y nueve millas n<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>uticas. Antes pod<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>amos navegar <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>incluso hasta las 200 y 500 millas. Naveg<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>bamos hasta Damietta y Port Said a lo largo de la costa egipcia y permanec<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>amos por la zona mientras hubiera pesca.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

El mar es mi hogar. Me parte el coraz\u00f3n no poder navegar en<\/span><\/span><\/span> \u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l tanto como sol<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a hacerlo. No se me permite mecerme en<\/span><\/span><\/span> \u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l, disfrutando pac<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>ficamente de las estrellas y el cielo nocturno, sin temor a ser atacado. En el pasado, si consegu<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a una buena pesca, me quedaba descansando varios d<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>as en casa entre viaje y viaje. Hoy, raramente pesco lo necesario y muchas veces menos de lo necesario. \u00a1La pesca que sol<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>amos obtener ahora solo la veo por televisi\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>n!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Enfrent<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>ndose a la muerte<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

(La guerra israel<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>en Gaza de 2012, la llamada Operaci\u00f3<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>n <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>p<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>ilar <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>defensivo, dur\u00f3 ocho d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>as. El 21 de noviembre de 2012 se alcanz\u00f3 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>una tregua)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tras prohibirnos salir al mar durante ocho d<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>as, por fin se nos permiti\u00f3 de nuevo, pero solo hasta las seis millas. Es nuestro pa<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>s y es nuestro mar. No deber<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>an imponernos ning<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00fa<\/span><\/span><\/span>n l<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>mite sobre <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Un d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a despu<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>s del fin de la guerra, un 17 de diciembre de 2012, yo exced<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>el l<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>mite en unos veinte o treinta metros. Eran las 8:30 a.m. Y entonces lo o<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>: un sonido como el zumbido de una avispa. Se sent<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a muy alto y cercano; me pareci\u00f3 que me quedaba sordo. Dos \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span>avispas<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>(veh\u00ed<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>culos a<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>reos no tripulados; drones aka)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>estaban justo sobre mi cabeza, zumbando y disparando. O<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>voces grit<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>ndome; quer<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>an que me detuviera. Yo sab<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a lo que pretend<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>an. Quer<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>an llevarme al puerto<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0israel\u00ed de\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Ashdod y destruir mi embarcaci\u00f3n. En esos momentos sent<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>que la muerte ser<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00eda <\/span><\/span><\/span>una gloria. Siguieron zumbando sobre mi cabeza durante media hora. Justo entonces una bala me penetr\u00f3 en la articulaci\u00f3n de mi cadera izquierda. Qued<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>paralizado. Me desmay<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Al despertar supe que estaba en el c<\/span><\/span><\/span>entro <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>m<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>dico Barzilai, en Ashkelon. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a1Estaba en territorio de los ocupantes! Me extrajeron la bala y me dejaron en el paso fronterizo Erez de vuelta en Gaza. Pero yo no sent<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00eda ni pod\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a mover la pierna. Los israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>es me dieron una p<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>ldora dici<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ndome que me aliviar<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a el dolor y disminuir<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a el anquilosamiento. As<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>fue, pero solo con gran dificultad fui capaz de llegar hasta mi casa en Gaza. Cuando pas\u00f3 el efecto de la p<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00edldora, se recrudeci<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3 <\/span><\/span><\/span>el dolor. Cre\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>que nunca ser<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a capaz de volver a utilizar mi pierna. Tambi<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>n perd<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>el GPS de mi barco y el motor. \u00a1Oh, mi motor! Desde entonces no he vuelto a tener otro.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Es un milagro que todav<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a pueda andar, un milagro que est<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>vivo.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No es lo mismo<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00c9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>sta es nuestra vida. Nuestras almas est<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>n en nuestros barcos; sin ellos, estamos muertos.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nosotros podemos, a nuestra edad, soportar estas vicisitudes. Pero los ni\u00f1<\/span><\/span><\/span>os, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00bfc<\/span><\/span><\/span>u\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>l es su pecado? \u00bf<\/span><\/span><\/span>C<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3mo se las van a arreglar? Te juro que me siento avergonzado cuando mi hijo menor viene a pedirme un s<\/span><\/span><\/span>hekel (la moneda israel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>, divisa usada en Palestina) y no tengo nada que darle. Me maldigo a mi mismo y e<\/span><\/span><\/span>l d\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a en que mi madre me trajo al mundo. Incluso dejo que mi hijo mayor abandone la escuela porque no puedo afrontar el coste. Ahora que trabaja conmigo en el mar, ya no temo por mi mismo, temo por <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nosotros, los pescadores, no pertenecemos a ning<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00fa<\/span><\/span><\/span>n partido pol<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>tico.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>No tenemos armas. Simplemente pescamos. \u00bf<\/span><\/span><\/span>Qu<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>crimen hay en ello?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ya sabes, el mar es para nosotros como el banco; algunos retiran dinero del banco y nosotros lo sacamos del mar. No necesitamos que nadie nos ayude; solo pretendemos pescar en paz.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
