Israel is a nest of international terrorism
"He who weaves slander
does not know
That slander will later kill
him"
M. Saadi
Who could have imagined that
pirates would return from the depths of time to the Mediterranean, the cradle
of civilization? Nor did the people sleeping sweetly before dawn in the cabins
of the Turkish cruise liner "Mavi Marmara" think so when armed
Israeli commandos clambered aboard and literally descended from the sky onto
the upper deck. The hijacking of the peaceful liner took place in international
waters, which is classified as nothing less than piracy, and the fact that the
act took place under the cover of darkness underscores its malicious intent.
The unarmed men's attempt to prevent this lawlessness prompted a merciless
opening of lethal force. As a result, nine people were killed and dozens
wounded. A significant fact, highlighting the criminal actions of the
commandos, is Israel's attempt to suppress information coming from the
"Free Gaza" flotilla that was attacked.
Blaming the gunned-down Turks for
their own fault, having resisted illegal violence, is tantamount to excusing an
armed bandit who killed a homeowner simply because the latter attacked the
bandit as he was breaking into the house.
Seeing the extremely unsightly
international situation Israel found itself in, Jewish journalists raised a
veritable hue and cry, accusing everyone and everything: Turkey of a planned
provocation and Islamization, America and Europe of the same Islamization, and
human rights activists and peacekeepers of lying. In the heat of hysteria, the
notorious Palestinian hater E. Bonner (http://alikbahshi.livejournal.com/7804.html ), rejecting the slogan "two
states for two peoples" and attempting to justify Israel's illegal
actions, calls for abandoning political correctness. And it's clear why.
Because political correctness is in no way compatible with Bonner's outburst of
blatant cynicism. The self-proclaimed human rights activist believes that only
a "swollen belly and limbs like sticks" reflect the degree of
starvation, and if this symptom isn't observed in Palestinian children, then
there's no humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. In that case, one would have to
assume that the tummy fused to the spine, visible in photographs of children
from Auschwitz, is proof that the Nazis provided excellent nutrition to
concentration camp prisoners. This isn't a question of political correctness,
but rather of Ms. Bonner's complete lack of morality. Even living with a man of
conscience and great morality proved ineffective in this case.
Bonner's cynicism echoes, I would
say, the brazen cynicism of Israeli Foreign Minister Lieberman, known for his
particular "peacefulness" toward Arabs. The minister shared with the
world the revelation that the people of Gaza eat in expensive restaurants! This
circumstance, in his opinion, exposes the absurdity of talk of a humanitarian
catastrophe. It becomes clear why chocolate is included among the long list of
prohibited foods for Gaza. It's purely out of concern for the health of the
people, to protect Palestinians from diabetes. I wondered if Lieberman's dream
for solving the Palestinian issue (http://proza.ru/2008/03/22/576 ) had really come true. He envisioned a
carpet bombing campaign, then feeding the surviving Palestinians generously,
and then peace and prosperity would follow.
Explaining the bloody massacre of
the peaceful "Free Gaza" flotilla in neutral waters, Lieberman sees
nothing extraordinary in it, because, as he says, there are far more
significant human murders in the world, and a dozen dead Turks aren't worth the
attention it would require to stir up a political scandal. A very interesting
thought! So was it worth it for Israel to start a Second Lebanon War over two
kidnapped Israeli soldiers?
I'd like to address the big lie
woven into the statements of journalists hanging out at Echo of Moscow
(Latynina, Radzikhovsky), who always foam at the mouth to justify any
aggression on the part of Israel. I deliberately recalled the Soviet newspaper
phrase "foaming at the mouth," which was considered by party
propagandists to be the most apt phrase for concluding the final verdict on
"Western slander," but which, in this case, is precisely true. Their
lie is hidden here:
"And now regarding the
so-called blockade of the Gaza Strip. Well, regarding the fact that the
supposed 'blockade' is simply political isolation after the Hamas terrorist
organization came to power there, a policy with which the Palestinian Authority
itself, to put it mildly, disagrees. And what does 'blockade' even mean? All
food, energy, and other essential goods are constantly being imported from
Israel." The restrictions imposed on Gaza were a response to the
kidnapping of soldier Gilad Shalit from Israeli territory by Hamas
terrorists."
In justifying the military action to seize the
Free Gaza flotilla, Bonner writes: "Israel, like any state, not only
can but must—it is the primary responsibility of any government—defend the
country from the entry of any entity that poses a threat to its citizens."
But the previous quote implies that Gaza is not Israeli territory. So where
is the truth? The flotilla, as we know, was heading for Gaza, not Israel.
Conclusion: Bonner is not knowledgeable enough about the subject to take her
amateurish approach seriously. It seems to me that Ms. Bonner doesn't even know
where Israel's border is.
First, what happened before the blockade.
Before the blockade, it was like this: Jewish settlers, who made up 5% of the
Gaza Strip's population, owned 40% of the arable land, not counting the area
where significant Israeli army forces were stationed to protect the settlers,
who were also armed with machine guns. The Arab population of Gaza, squeezed
into a small patch of land close to the sea (Gaza has one of the highest
population densities in the world) and deprived of livelihoods, desperately
resisted the occupation, and as a result, in 2005, Israel was forced to
withdraw its army and dismantle the Jewish settlements. However, Israel
retained control, continuing the complete isolation of Gaza from the outside
world. Essentially, Gaza, surrounded by a concrete wall, became a vast open-air
prison for the Arabs, and the only way out was seen as continuing the struggle
for freedom. The intolerable conditions led to the radicalization of society
and the rise of Hamas to power in 2006. In an attempt to suppress the
resistance, Israel prevented fuel and food from passing through checkpoints and
occasionally cut off electricity and water supplies. Israeli naval boats
prevented all fishing. In 2007, a famine struck Gaza. Palestinians, like moles,
burrowed into the ground, digging underground tunnels through which food and
fuel were primarily supplied from Egyptian territory. Thus, the lies of the
Echo of Moscow journalists are obvious. It wasn't the emergence of Hamas on the
political scene that caused the blockade, but rather Israel's attempt to force
the Palestinian people to their knees by resorting to the blockade that fuelled
Hamas's popularity, making Mahmoud Abbas a political corpse in comparison.
Imagine, for example, France blockading the
Netherlands, isolating it from the outside world by erecting a concrete wall.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the consequences of such an
undertaking. The Gaza blockade is an integral part of the apartheid policy
towards the Palestinian people. At the same time, the blockade is a desperate
attempt to break the will of the Palestinian people, to divide the Palestinian
resistance movement into two isolated enclaves, and thereby cause internal political
discord.
Now about the Islamization of Turkey, which
Latynina and Radzikhovsky see as the cause of the deterioration of relations
with Israel. So, Islam is a religion, but in Turkey, religion is
constitutionally separated from the state, which cannot be said of Israel.
Turkey is a secular country, while in Israel, rabbis are members of parliament
and government. Moreover, some Israeli laws are halachic, and it should be
noted that Judaism, unlike other religious ideologies, contains an element of
misanthropy, as it considers the Jewish people to be chosen by God,
qualitatively different from the goyim, that is, from the rest of humanity.
Incidentally, of all the members of the Israeli parliament convicted of theft,
it was the rabbi-politicians who succeeded most in this
"God-pleasing" endeavour.
The separation of church and state is an
essential indicator of the degree of democratization of society. But, moreover,
and most importantly, Turkey has a constitution and has implemented the
fundamental principle of democracy—the separation of legislative and executive
powers. This is not the case in Israel, and therefore, not Israel, but Turkey
is currently the only democratic country in the region; not Israel, but Turkey
is the outpost of democracy in the Middle East. And speaking of Islamization, is
there a country in the world without a synagogue? How is Judaism better than
Islam? Generally speaking, blaming someone for something you're up to your ears
in the same mess is, at the very least, unwise. Religion has brought many ills
to humanity. The polytheism of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire contained
more democracy than monotheism, which has been the cause of religious hostility
and religious wars. Recall the era of the Crusades, the endless slaughter of
Catholics and Protestants, the destruction of ancient monuments—an entire layer
of cultural heritage was maliciously destroyed by Christianity. The dark
chapter of history—the Inquisition—also owes its origins to the religion of
monotheism. All of this is a consequence of monotheism, which everyone coerced
into favouring their own side. A necessary condition for democracy is the
removal of the dogma of faith from power, and, I repeat, in this regard, Israel
lags far behind Turkey and differs little from the Islamic Republic of Iran
(see "The Sephardic Revolution or the Jewish Republic of Israel" http://proza.ru/2008/03/22/561 ).
Regarding Israel's accusations against Turkey,
allegedly organizing the "Free Gaza" flotilla for provocative
purposes in order to gain some kind of political advantage, they are easily
dismissed by the fact that the dry cargo ship "Rachel Corrie" is
Irish. Could it be that Ireland, too, provoked Israel? It would be interesting
to learn from Minister Lieberman what insidious goals Ireland was pursuing.
Lieberman has no answer to this.
Latynina offers a humorous explanation for
European participation in the "provocation": "Israel should
rely only on itself; it shouldn't rely on those European scoundrels and scum
who collaborate with terrorists because the terrorists ask for their
help." According to Latynina, the scoundrel she considers to be human
rights activist Rachel Corrie, after whom the ship seized by Israel is named,
gave her life to provoke Israel into crushing itself with a military bulldozer,
standing in its way as it carried out an order to destroy the home of a
Palestinian family. The poet M. Saadi involuntarily comes to mind:
"If you speak ill of people,
Even if you're right, you're evil inside."
But in our case, it's impossible to argue that
Latynina is right. Latynina cannot understand the motivation for such an act
due to its complete lack of morality, and there's no other explanation.
However, I would say that other Echo of Moscow journalists, M. Fishman and V.
Shenderovich, also possess this "advantage" in their lack of morality
(see "Word, Fornication, or Complete Albats" http://proza.ru/2010/05/21/139 ).
But this gibberish of Latynina's, simply
childish babble, is difficult for a normal person to understand: "Europe
has ceased to be Europe; freedom in Europe is slowly turning into its opposite.
Specifically, into a bureaucracy that openly collaborates with terrorist
regimes because these regimes ask for money and portray themselves as unhappy
people, and it's always a pleasure to help the unfortunate."
If Europe, according to Latynina, is not free,
and America, with its Obama, has completely gone bad, then from now on we will
consider Israel the truly free country!
One must assume this is yet another example of
Yulia Latynina's confusion, as in her phrase "a peaceful Palestinian
convoy carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza".
(http://www.echo.msk.ru/programs/code/685110-echo/ ), which clearly shows the
journalist is unaware that a flotilla (caravan) of peaceful ships cannot be
considered a convoy. Israeli warships served as a convoy for these ships when,
under gunfire, they escorted the peacekeeper flotilla to the port of Ashdod.
What was the cause of this bloody incident?
What prompted Israel to commit such a blatant international crime? The answer
lies in the impunity ensured by the most powerful country in the world –
America – at least until now.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is a generator of
international terrorism, which, on the Israeli side, has escalated into state
terrorism. By persisting in its occupation of Palestine, Israel is sinking
deeper into the quagmire of its practice of international terrorism, and its
refusal to comply with numerous Security Council decisions condemning Israel is
leading to the disastrous path of self-isolation.
Israel deliberately refuses to acknowledge its
ongoing war with the Palestinians and reduces it to a series of terrorist
attacks, responding to them according to the law of vendetta. The persecution
and liquidation of Palestinian resistance leaders is taking place worldwide,
regardless of borders and countries. Given that the moral component of the
conflict is on the side of the Palestinians, Israel cannot resort to
international investigation and prosecution, as a host of unflattering
questions concerning Israel itself would inevitably arise, and therefore
resorts to the services of cloak-and-dagger knights. This explains the
uncivilized and immoral actions of the Mossad, such as the assassination in
Dubai. The immorality also lies in the fact that Israeli intelligence services
frame citizens of other countries using forged passports, which creates an
international scandal that only worsens Israel's image, portraying the Jewish
state as a breeding ground for international terrorism. The pirate seizure of
the peaceful "Free Gaza" flotilla is compelling evidence of this.
