Forget the OIC.It is practically dead.It breathed its last long long ago.And the Arab League is too ineffectual to get Israel to accept a Two State Solution and halt its settlements in West Bank.And then there are the 1.8 billion Muslims who show a gross indifference to what goes on in that part of Middle East.

Worst yet is a country that is COMPLICIT WITH ISRAEL in bringing about a complete blockade of Gaza.That country is Egypt.

Gaza is now into its fourth year of siege.After supplies from across Rafah crossing were choked off,the only lifeline available to the Gazans was a maze of underground tunnels along the border with Egypt.Of late,Egypt has reinforced its border with an underground steel wall to squeeze the last drop of aid entering Gaza.

The 6 flotilla ships may have ended up being an abortive exercise but they did serve one purpose.They sent a message to the Muslim community loud and clear:Egypt should be pressed to heed moral considerations and open up the Rafah crossing.

This is a moment of truth for the Arab League.It would do the Arab League well if it confronted Israel on the legality of the Gaza blockade.Ultimately,the Arab League and OIC should push for a nuclear free zone in the Middle East and get Israel to recognize the government of Hamas which was duly elected in 2006.If they can't act now,they are incapable of acting ever.

Iran is the only Muslim country to stick its neck out over this matter.Its high time others joined its rank.
