Isreal soils its hands again

The "armada of hatred" has been handled with the compassion of love, or at least that's what the Israeli military is trying to make the world believe today. 

Sorry, not the world; just the Americans. They think that the US is sufficient to cover up any and all of their dehumanizing and bloody actions against the Palestinians and those who feel sympathetic with them. The rest of the world is tearing up Israeli flags, whereas the American government couldn't even bring itself to condemn Israel for its terroristic action on international waters, against a ship loaded with civilians and humanitarian aid and not having a hint of harmful military cargo on it.

Israel continues to escalate the Middle-East conflict with the brutal actions of its unmatched military. It continues to shift the Muslim world into the hands of the extremists while making all efforts to depict the whole Muslim world as the evil itself. Of course with actions like this, they are also pushing the non-Muslim world toward increasing anti-Semitism; the last thing this unstable world needs these days. 

As I indicated in my previous blog entry, Israel seems to be cutting the branch underneath itself. Instead of acknowledging the very real power of the Arab and world-wide resistance against its policy and utilizing the equalizing force of its mighty military to reach reasonable political solution, it intends to crush all Arab and obviously international resistance by brute force while demonizing its opponents. 
Israel wants to shape the Middle-East to its very own liking with disregard for any opposing views. Such efforts have not been sustainable in history. Furthermore, such strictly might-based solutions are doomed to failure much quicker now then any other time in the historical past, due to technological advances that clearly cannot be kept out of the enemy's hands forever.

Injustice brings forth injustice and today's Israeli action was one of the most glaring injustices of recent times. 

On the long run the United States would only help Israel, and the world if it cares about it, with a quick and unconditional condemnation of today's barbaric Israeli commando action!

Israel: The Champion of free speech...!?

Noam Chomsky is undoubtedly an original thinker. He is an internationally respected linguist at MIT, an independent and, within the confines of conventional labeling, a liberally inclined political activist whose views you may disagree with but you can ignore them only at your own risk. As you may expect from a master linguist, his true justice-seeking intentions are evident through his exceptionally clear arguments. Every audience should feel honored by being able to listen to him and if you disagree, feel free to test your opposition against one of the brightest minds of our times, as e.g. William F. Buckley Jr., a preeminent voice of American conservatism did it in a 1969 interview.

Mr. Chomsky was scheduled to give a lecture in a Palestinian University but was denied entry from Jordan into Palestine by Israeli authorities. – see link:

This action of Israel, in head-on collision with the cherished American principle of right to free-speech, unmistakably demonstrates that democratic principles are far from being the primary concern of today’s Israeli government.

The action at the Jordanian-Palestinian border also provides us with a window at the humiliation the Palestinian people have to endure under Israeli occupation.

Don’t misread me: I am rooting for the success of Israel! No, not because Jews are the “chosen people of God”!... but because of their tenacity displayed throughout history and their undeniable smarts. However, fighting 1 billion Muslims while relying on military might alone, driven by misplaced religious prophecy and narrowly interpreted geopolitical interests, seems suicidal to me.

Mr. Chomsky may have been able to soften the hard path Israel needs to take to integrate herself into the Middle East and indeed into the World. Denying this opportunity from Mr. Chomsky is a short sighted and plain antidemocratic action that should be strongly opposed by the freedom-loving American public and politics!
