The world must no longer stand by with its collective “guilty conscience” and allow the Israeli Government to continue their policies of State Terrorism against the Palestinians and other Countries of the Middle East.
Now, before the usual culprits immediately spring into action with their hysterical screams of calling me an anti-Semite, lets make one thing abundantly clear. I make no apology for criticising Governments of any country including my own, when they commit acts of aggression or state terrorism against others. It seems that this latest act took place in International waters against ships carrying around 10,000 tonnes of aid for Gaza. In any interpretation, this is an act of piracy. Israel and its supporters will no doubt seek to justify this latest aggression with the “Israel’s right to exist and defend itself” argument. However, this cliché no longer has any credibility. What is abundantly clear is that had the ships not been attacked by the Israeli forces, the protesters (predominately Turkish nationals it seems ) would not have been killed.
For many years the Israeli Government has imposed a rigid blockade by land and sea against the people of (Gaza) Palestine, and the International Community has done little if anything, to resolve the situation. Now, a convoy of ships carrying humanitarian aid of food, medical supplies and home building materials, has been attacked in International waters. Already, the lies and distortions have been trotted out on TV from Israeli Government spokespersons, Knesset members and other pro Israeli experts, to justify this outrage.
Spain and Sweden have now withdrawn their Ambassadors from Israel, and perhaps other countries will follow this example. It will however require a concerted International response to ensure that the Israeli Government clearly understands that their actions are totally un acceptable.
