Ankara's condemnation of the only longstanding democracy in the Middle East is always swift and unequivocal. The Arab League engaged in a frenzy of denunciation, even before all the facts were established. Israel used to be the U.N.'s favorite whipping boy.
In the past four years, three quarters of the resolutions passed by the U.N. Human Rights Council (HRC) condemned Israel. Israel always faces hypocrisy and a biased rush to judgment. But now for the first time, UN declares that Israel is right! http://venitism.blogspot.com
On Friday, the UN released its report on Israel's May 2010 raid on the propaganda flotilla of Turkey. In the report, the UN urged Israel to show regret for employing excessive force, pay compensation to the families of those killed, but to not apologize as the raid was legal!
USA and Fourth Reich urge Turkey to accept the UN's findings, but Turkey responded to the report by announcing it was expelling the Israeli ambassador and ending its longstanding military agreements with Israel!
Israel is a bastion of freedom and Graecoroman culture, an economic miracle, and a leader in science and technology. Israel is the only free country in a region dominated by Arab monarchies, theocracies and dictatorships. It is only the citizens of Israel, Arabs and Jews alike, who enjoy the right to express their views, to criticize their government, to form political parties, to publish private newspapers, to hold free elections.
Fuehrer Merkozy wanted a comprehensive, transparent and neutral investigation. This independent and transparent investigation took place. The results should be taken seriously even if a certain aspect is not liked by one or the other.
When Islamists deny the most basic freedoms to their own people, it is obscene for them to start claiming that Israel is violating the Palestinians' rights. All Muslims who are genuinely concerned with human rights should, as their very first action, seek to oust their own despotic rulers and adopt the type of free society that characterizes Israel. http://venitism.blogspot.com
Merkozy appreciates Turkey's work but everything must be done to relieve tensions between Turkey and Israel, especially given Turkey's key diplomatic role in Middle East relations.
Land-for-peace is a repugnant formula for Israel's self-immolation. The right of a civilized nation to self-defense against its barbarous enemies is a moral absolute. It should not be surrendered in a vain attempt to appease the initiators of war. It is a moral perversion to demand that Israel give back the very land it captured in the process of defending itself against wars launched by the Arab aggressors.
Davutoglu declined to speak to the media in the Polish city of Sopot, where he is participating in a Fourth Reich junket. Aside from demanding an apology, Turkey insists that Israel must lift its naval blockade of Gaza. http://venitism.blogspot.com
A criminal has no right to protest the justice of having his guns confiscated by the police, and particularly not a criminal who continues to underwrite acts of crime. And the worst of the land-for-peace policy is that it caused Israel to give the Palestinians their own domain, with the job of protecting against terrorism entrusted terrorists.
Fourth Reich countries grapple at the summit to forge a common position on Palestinian statehood, ahead of an appeal by the Palestinian Authority for full UN membership. Catherine Ashton declares Fourth Reich favors a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, USA, Germany, and UK oppose unilateral action in the matter.
When Israel ended its occupation of Gaza, it did not impose a blockade. Indeed it left behind agricultural facilities in the hope that the newly liberated Gaza Strip would become a peaceful and productive area. Instead Hamas seized control over Gaza and engaged in acts of warfare against Israel. These acts of warfare featured 10,000 rockets directed at Israeli civilians. This was not only an act of warfare, it was a war crime.
Israel responded to the rockets by declaring a blockade, the purpose of which was to assure that no rockets, or other material that could be used for making war against Israeli civilians, was permitted into Gaza. Israel allowed humanitarian aid through its checkpoints. There was never a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, merely a shortage of certain goods that would end if the rocket attacks ended. http://venitism.blogspot.com
Palestinian behavior was captured so well by Abba Eban's phrase that the Palestinians "never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity," was a tendency by the international community to feed into and encourage the very behavior that has caused the Palestinians such heartache.
What is particularly ironic about this, whether it manifested itself in diplomatic resolutions at the UN, media coverage or boycotts, is that all of this has taken place under the rubric of helping the Palestinians. If the Palestinian leadership has been the worst enemy of the Palestinian people, the international community and international media, in the name of helping the Palestinians, are not far behind. http://venitism.blogspot.com
