Ke hele nei ma waena o Afghanistan ʻekolu mau makahiki i hala, ua loaʻa ʻo Geoff Hann iā ia iho i hopu ʻia ma waena o nā mea kaua.

Ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i kāna hui i hala i hoʻokahi militia hakakā e alo wale ana i kekahi ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao o ka muliwai. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua aloha kēia mau mea kaua, i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. Akā ʻaʻole lākou āpau i lilo.

ʻO ia mau hālāwai kūkā, wahi a Hann, he ʻāpana wale nō ia o ka ʻike - a he ʻāpana o ka “leʻaleʻa” - o ka huakaʻi ʻana me ka ʻoihana huakaʻi ʻo Hinterland Travel ʻo Hann.

I ko lākou komo ʻana i nā wahi kaua, nā wahi huli keʻa, a hina i nā kahua o ka paʻa politika ʻole, hele mākaukau nui kēia poʻe huakaʻi - me nā kāmera, nā puke alakaʻi, nā palapala ʻāina a me nā alakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi.

He mākaʻikaʻi ia o kahi ʻano "pōuliuli" like ʻole - kahi kū ʻokoʻa ma waho o kona ʻaoʻao o ka lā a me ke one - he poʻe huakaʻi ke hele nei i ka Hikina Waena ʻaʻole wale nō me ke kaua a me ka hakakā akā ma nā manawa nō hoʻi no ia.

ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i ka pōʻino i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā pōkā ma ka ʻĀkau a me ka hema o Israel, ke kipa ʻana i ke kahua o ka hōʻino ʻana o ka gas ʻino ma ka ʻākau o ʻIraka, a me ka huakaʻi ʻana i nā hale i kau ʻia i ka pōkā o Beirut, he laʻana wale nō ia no nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi "pōʻele" i manaʻo ʻia e ka Hikina Waena. kekahi ala me ka make, luku, hakakā a kaua paha.

"ʻAno kānalua kahi hoihoi i kēia mau wahi akā ʻo ka mea ʻike ʻole ʻia ke kumu e ʻumeʻume ai ka poʻe iā lākou - inā paha e ʻike i ke kaua ma o kekahi ʻano hoihoi a i ʻole e hoʻāʻo paha e kiʻi i kahi ʻike hohonu a manaʻo paha mai ia mea. . ʻO ia ka pilikia nui, "wahi a Prof. Richard Sharpley, ke poʻo o ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ke Kulanui o Lincoln.

ʻO ka poʻe i komo ma Hinterland ka mea mua a poʻokela, wahi a Hann, e ʻimi nei i kekahi mea "ʻokoʻa a hoihoi." Hele lākou i Iraq, Afghanistan, hikina hikina o Turkey a me ʻIrana no ka mōʻaukala, ka hoʻolālā ʻana, a me ka moʻomeheu o kēia mau wahi o ka Hikina Waena. ʻAʻole lākou e noʻonoʻo i ke ʻano o ka makaʻu i kekahi manawa. Akā ʻaʻole lākou he poʻe ʻimi ʻoliʻoli. Ua hele mai lākou e "ʻike no lākou iho" ka mea a ka pāpāho e uhi nui ai a, e like me ka nui o nā poʻe kanalua kānalua, i kekahi manawa kuhi hewa ʻole.

"Aia nā hui huakaʻi a aia kekahi mau mākaʻikaʻi e hele i nā wahi e like me Afghanistan a me ʻIraka e hoʻāʻo a kokoke i nā mea e hana nei ma laila - i kēia manawa he hoihoi nui loa ia me ke kaua," wahi a Prof. John Lennon, ka mea kākau o Dark Tourism a me ka luna hoʻomalu. o ka Moffat Center no ka Hoʻolālā Huakaʻi Huakaʻi a Hoʻokele.

ʻOiai ke kuhikuhi nei nā mākaʻikaʻi huakaʻi i ke kūpaʻa a me ka hoihoi o ka naʻau e like me ka mea huki mua, ʻike ka poʻe kālaiʻike he hoihoi "ghoulish" paha ia i ka make, ʻo ka pono e kinai i kahi "make wai e ʻono i ke kaua," wahi a Lennon, nāna e hoʻokele i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā pūnaewele i pili i ka luku. a me ka hakakā paha.

“He ʻano ʻono ke kanaka no ka hoʻopā ʻana i ka make - ke kokoke nei i ka make. A ʻo ka wikiwiki. ʻAneʻane e like me ka lawa ʻole o 10 a 20 mau makahiki i hala. ”

I nā lā ma hope o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ke ahi hoʻopau ma ke kaua hope loa a Lebanona ma waena o Israel a me Hezbollah, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Kibbutz Gonen Holiday Village ma ka ʻākau o ʻIseraʻela e hāʻawi i nā huakaʻi o nā pūnaewele i kū ʻia e nā kākahu ʻo Katushya. ʻO nā mākaʻikaʻi haole a me nā ʻIseraʻela mai ke kikowaena o ka ʻāina, ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole i ka hopena o ke kaua e like me ka nui o ko lākou ʻaoʻao ʻākau, hele mai e "ʻike me ko lākou mau maka" i ka pōʻino i hoʻoili ʻia ma ke kaua.

“Ua ʻike lākou a pau ma ke kīwī, ma ka nūhou. Akā hoihoi ka poʻe e ʻike ia mea me ko lākou mau maka ponoʻī - e kōkua iā lākou e hoʻomaopopo,

Hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā kiʻi hoʻohenehene ma ka nūhou, ua "hoʻoliʻiliʻi nā kipa". He weliweli ke kūlana, akā ʻaʻole weliweli e like me ke ʻano o ke kīwī, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

I kēlā mahina mua ma hope o ke kaua, alakaʻi ke alakaʻi huakaʻi ʻIseraʻela ʻo Amnon Loya i nā mākaʻikaʻi i hala i nā hale i hōʻino ʻia ma Qiryat Shmonah. Ma laila, ua loaʻa i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ka manawa kūpono e kamaʻilio pū me nā kamaʻāina āpana a me nā koa. Psychologically, pono lākou e ʻike iā ia no lākou iho, wehewehe ʻo ia, no ka pono o ka laulima, ka pani a me ka hoihoi, a i mea e maopopo ai i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ke kūlana.

"Inā ʻoe e noho ʻoluʻolu ana i kou home a e nānā ana i ke kīwī, noʻonoʻo ʻoe inā paha ke kaua i kou ʻāina a ʻaʻole paha," wahi a Loya.

ʻOiai ua hele aku nā huakaʻi ʻo Katushya, i kēia lā hiki i nā mākaʻikaʻi ke hele i ke kaona hema o Israel o Sderot e ʻike i ka pōʻino i hoʻopuka ʻia e nā pōkā Qassam mai kahi kokoke iā Gaza.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bina Abramson o ka Sderot Media Center, he mau kamaʻāina kēia mau pōkā e noho ana me ka makaʻu mau, a ʻo ia ka ʻimi ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka lokahi, ma mua o ka mea pīhoihoi, e huki ai i nā hui huakaʻi a me nā malihini kipa.

Pili paha nā huakaʻi ma nā mea āpau me nā hakakā, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nānā ʻana i ka lokahi, ka politika a me ka ʻike maoli.

I loko o kāna aʻo ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi politika ma Ierusalema, ua kākau ʻo Eldad Brin i kāna kuleana no ka hānau hānau ma ka makahiki 2003 no lākou ka huakaʻi "Peace and Politics," nāna i lawe aku i nā mea komo i kahi hale kope kope ma Ierusalema i hōʻeha ʻia i ka hoʻouka kaua hoʻoweliweli i kekahi mau mahina ma mua. ʻeleu kālaiʻāina volatile o ke kūlanakauhale.

Hiki i nā mea hui pū me ka Pūnaewele Hoʻokipa Hōʻokoʻa ʻĀkau no Betelehema ke kipa aku i nā hale Palestinian i wāwahi ʻia, nā kahua hoʻomoana, ka pale hoʻokaʻawale, a hui pū me nā mea hoʻouluulu maluhia Palestinian a me Israel.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rami Kassis ka luna hoʻomalu ʻo ke kumu o nā huakaʻi ka hōʻike ʻana i nā mea mākaʻikaʻi i nā kūlana politika, pilikanaka, a me nā mōʻaukala kū hoʻokahi - "e wehe i ko lākou mau maka i ka ʻehaʻeha o ka poʻe Palestinian" a kōkua i ka poʻe kipa e hoʻomohala i ko lākou mau manaʻo ponoʻī o ke kūlana. ma kahi o ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ka ʻike bias a me ka pāpāho.

Eia nō naʻe, ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona o ka hakakā, a ʻoiai e hōʻike ana i ka palena o ke ola o ka poʻe, hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia ia mau pūnaewele i ʻāpana o ka pīhaʻu mākaʻikaʻi pouli, wahi a Sharpley.

"ʻO ka mea hoʻohihi, kuhi au, ʻo ia ka poʻe e hele a aneane e loaʻa ka hōʻoia e pili ana i ka palekana a me ke kūʻokoʻa o ko lākou ola ponoʻī," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

Noho ka hapa nui o ka poʻe Komohana i nā kaiāulu palekana, pale pale ʻole, pale ʻia mai ka make a me ka hopena pololei o ke kaua, i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

ʻO "Dicing me ka make" kahi ala e wehewehe ai i kēia ʻano huakaʻi, wahi a Sharpley, kahi e hoʻokau ai iā ʻoe iho i kahi kūlana weliweli a makaʻu paha - kū paha i ka make - kahi ʻāpana o ka hoʻopiʻi. Mai kēlā kuanaʻike, hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā huakaʻi kaua ka mea hou loa i nā haʻuki koʻikoʻi loa.

ʻOiai ʻo Hinterland e lawe i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā wahi e lawe i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo huakaʻi - e hoʻolilo ʻole i nā mea komo i kekahi manawa no ke kaua a me ka hoʻoweliweli. ʻAʻole hoʻi nā mea e komo ana - ʻo 40 a 70 paha mau makahiki - ke ʻimi nei i ka weliweli a i ʻole nā pīhoihoi.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua haʻi aku kahi huakaʻi 69 makahiki a me ke kamaʻāina UK ʻo Margaret Whelpton ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke leʻaleʻa i nā huakaʻi a Hinterland inā ʻike ʻo ia i kahi pilikia.

ʻO Whelpton, ka mea i huakaʻi i Lebanona, Suria, ʻIraka, Ioredane, ʻIrana a me Afghanistan, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka hakakā a i ʻole ka hana ʻino e pili ana i kekahi mau wahi - e like me kahi pā i ʻike ʻia ma kahi hōkele ma Islamabad e hoʻomanaʻo nei i ka pepehi kanaka ʻana o kekahi mau mea nūpepa i ʻelua mau makahiki i hala aku nei. ʻāpana maʻalahi o ka hala.

"Mōʻaukala," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. ʻAʻohe mea makaʻu.

ʻAʻole naʻe ia, no ka mea, ʻaʻole hele mai ʻo Hinterland ma nā wahi "dodgy" a i ʻole nā mea hoihoi keu.

I ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ʻIraka ʻĀkau, ua lawe ʻo Hinterland i nā mea komo i Halabja, ke kahua o ka hōʻeha kinoea ʻino i ka wā o ke kaua ʻIrani-ʻIraka i ka makahiki 1988. I kekahi manawa hou, ua kipa lākou i kahi hale paʻahao ma Sulaymaniyah ua hoʻomāʻehaʻeha ʻia ʻo Kurds.

ʻAʻohe ʻokoʻa, wahi a Hann, ma mua o ke kipa ʻana i kahi hoʻomoana ʻo Auschwitz.

ʻOiai he huki ka mea ʻike-no-ʻoe iho, nā kālaiʻike e like me Lennon lāua ʻo Sharpley i ʻōlelo e pili ana ke ʻano i ka makahiki kahiko, ka hoihoi i ka make a me ke kaua.

"Maliʻa paha ka liʻiliʻi o ke aloha koko," i wehewehe ai ʻo Sharpley.

ʻO ka hoihoi me "ka ʻaoʻao pouli o ke ʻano o ke kanaka," wahi a Lennon.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, makemake ka poʻe e hoʻopā i nā lua o ka pōkā, e manaʻo paha i ka weliweli, a hui me kēlā mau mea kaua e hakakā ana, no lākou iho.

No ka ʻike hou aku e pili ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi Hikina Waena mai The Media Line e kipa aku i kā lākou Pūnaewele, www.themedialine.org.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
