Israel’s Piracy:
Gaza’s Starvation And Our Berlin Walls
This essay, as well as the one which follows, were written in late
2009 in the aftermath of Israel’s barbarous attack on Gaza.
Freedom Flotilla leaving Turkey
A humanitarian convoy of ships carrying thousands of tons of
supplies and hundreds of politicians, activists and journalists was attacked
last night by the Israeli Armed Forces in a carefully calculated air and sea
assault while the ships (some carrying Turkish flags) were still in
international waters. The Flotilla was seeking to break Israel’s
three-year-long blockade of Gaza in order to deliver basic necessities such as food
and medicine to the impoverished Palestinians living in the coastal enclave.
Israeli forces raided the Freedom Flotilla, killing at least 20 people.
It was not by accident that most of
those killed and injured were Turkish nationals who were aboard ships flying
Turkish flags. I fear that Israel’s coldly calculated attack of criminal ‘piracy’ is meant to provoke Turkey’s
pro-Islamic government to respond in a way that Israel could then exploit to
initiate the big war that has long been planned.
The back-up plan may be to initiate a
limited war that could provoke a military coup d’état and regime change in Turkey. The largely secular Turkish
military which has remained firmly supportive of Israel will certainly be
complicit in such a back-up plan.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan has already described the Israeli attack as “inhuman state terror” and “the trampling underfoot of
international law” and has vowed a proper response. “We will not stay silent and
unresponsive in the face of this,” he was quoted as saying.
He could say nothing less since the rage of the Turkish Muslim people
seems to have risen higher than ever before.
How should Muslims respond to this
latest act of manifest Israeli provocation?
Muslims around the world must first
make the case that mankind should not and cannot condone Israel’s starvation of
an entire civilian population in Gaza and the unjust killing of innocent people
in international waters as morally acceptable conduct of a State in the modern
age.
They should then launch a do-or-die
struggle to rid themselves of the pro-Israeli Egyptian, Saudi, Pakistani (and other)
governments and Armed Forces that control the world of Islam on behalf of the
enemies of Islam and of mankind. The way these governments respond to
Israel’s latest attack will expose the kind of response we can expect from them
as events continue to mysteriously unfold leading quite predictably to the world-war
that Israel desperately wants to provoke.
Such governments and Armed Forces in
the Muslim world must not be allowed to continue their dirty work on Israel’s behalf.
They have built their own Berlin Walls to protect themselves from their own
people. They have sponsored their own so-called experts to hoodwink and deceive
the Muslim masses into embracing them as champions of Islam who, with help from
Disneyland, will soon conquer India.
Unless and until those neo- Berlin
Walls protecting the Egyptian, Saudi and Pakistani governments and Armed Forces
are demolished, the ropes around the necks of Muslims will continue to become
tighter and yet tighter.
