GAZA CITY : At least 20 passengers have been reported dead and over 60 wounded on Monday when Israeli forces stormed Freedom Flotilla (a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists bound for Gaza), Aaj News reported. Executive Director Aaj News Talat Hussain along with his team members is onboard, whose where about could not be known.

AFP: Unconfirmed media reports from Hamas's Al Aqsa television said up to 20 passengers had been killed, of whom nine were Turkish nationals.

Media reports also said that senior Arab Israeli leader Raed Salah had been severely injured in the clashes, in which Gaza-based Hamas TV station said up to 20 people were killed.

According to Israel's private channel 10 television, Israeli marine commandos had opened fire after being attacked with axes and knives by a number of the passengers on board the aid ships, the television said, without giving the source of its information.

Israel's army radio said between 10 and 14 people had been killed in clashes which broke out after the passengers allegedly tried to grab weapons off the naval commandos who tried to storm one of the boats.

It was not clear whether the clashes took place on just one of the six boats making up the aid convoy.

Police said Israeli security forces were put on high alert to handle any "possible disturbances" among the country's Arab Israeli population in the wake of the deadly naval raid.

Turkey's foreign ministry warned that the raid on the Flotilla, which included Turkish vessels, may lead to "irreparable consequences" in bilateral ties.

"We strongly condemn these inhumane practices of Israel," a written statement said.

"This deplorable incident, which took place in open seas and constitutes a fragrant breach of international law, may lead to irreparable consequences in our bilateral relations," it said.

The Islamist Hamas movement which controls the Gaza Strip on Monday urged Arabs and Muslims to "rise up" in front of Israeli embassies across the globe in protest against Israel's deadly raid.

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas slammed the killings as "a massacre", while Arab League chief Amr Mussa said the raid was a "crime" against a humanitarian mission.

The Israeli military censor ordered a block on all information regarding those injured or killed during the storming of the ship.

Gaza's Al-Aqsa television showed footage of black-clad Israeli commandos descending from helicopters and clashing with activists, as well as several wounded people lying on the deck of the ship.

The ships, carrying more than 700 passengers, were on the last leg of an aid mission to deliver some 10,000 tonnes of supplies to Gaza, which has been under a crippling Israeli blockade since 2007.

Hamas reacted angrily to the deadly raid.

"We call on all Arabs and Muslims to rise up in front of Zionist embassies across the whole world," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri, using the Arabic word 'intifada'.

Ismail Haniya, the Islamist movement's prime minister in Gaza, slammed the "ugly attack" in a statement in which he called for "the United Nations to protect the activists" on board the boats.

The boats had started heading towards Gaza from international waters of Cyprus at 3:00pm (1200 GMT) Sunday, with organisers saying they hoped to enter Gaza waters during the daylight hours.

About six hours after their departure, three Israeli missile boats left their naval base in the northern coastal city of Haifa on a mission to intercept the flotilla, reporters on board one of the vessels said before being told to turn off their phones.

Israel had at the weekend slammed as "illegal" the convoy's attempt to break the Gaza blockade and warned it would intercept the ships, tow them to the Ashdod port and detain the activists before seeking to deport them.

It labelled the convoy a media stunt, insisting the humanitarian situation is stable in Gaza despite reports to the contrary from aid agencies and offering to deliver the supplies through its own land crossings.

"This is a provocation intended to delegitimise Israel," Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said on Saturday.

[SIZE="4"][SIZE="3"][B][FONT="Times New Roman"]No words to express sorrow and grief for inhuman act of Israel, Why Muslim world is sleeping? Its time to be united and raise this issue in front of UN. Where are human rights now? Its violation of international laws. Muslim world must condemn this brutal act and launch an active protest against Israel’s illegal, reprehensible and terrorist actions.

May Allah save Muslims (ameen)

Egypt should have its head hung in shame!
 

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.

Aoa,

Now what America says about the TERRORIST ATTACK on the civilians,who were only carrying the food and other aid products for the refugese...

Does Isreal not deserve the drone attacks...for this merciless act...which is a quite habitual behavior...

This ignoable state of Israel follows and even dont accept any Rule or Law...

Allah knows when OIC will wake up from its unending slumber ???

U.N will do nothing except condemning and pleading...which Israel doesnt bother...

Pakistan has raised voice and called for the meeting of OH I SEE....which Allah knows when will see the massacre and humiliation of Muslims right under their nose...

[B][COLOR="Purple"]OIC Secretary General: Israeli Aggression on the Relief Convoy Heading for Gaza is a Crime and Blatant Violation of All International Laws Norms and Standards
[/COLOR][/B]
: 31/05/2010 - View in: Arabic | French - Print

[SIZE="3"][FONT="Times New Roman"]The Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu issued a strong condemnation of the crime perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces against the defenseless citizens participating in the 'Freedom Flotilla' headed for Gaza in support for the Palestinian people under siege there.

The Secretary General further considered this crime as a grave escalation and blatant violation of international law and human norms and standards, and held Israel fully responsible for the health and safety of all those participating in this humanitarian convoy. He also expressed his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and his sincere wishes of prompt recovery for the wounded.

The Secretary General reiterated the OIC’s call for the immediate lifting of the siege imposed by the Israeli occupation on the Gaza for the last four years, which has caused a severe deterioration of the humanitarian and economic situation there.

Also the Secretary General called upon the OIC Ambassadorial Groups both in Geneva and New York to move towards convening in an emergency meeting and to initiate action at the level of the Security Council and the Human Rights Commission to examine the fallouts of this attack.

In addition, the Secretary General stated that he was in the process of urgent contacts with Member States and all impactful international parties to take concrete action to put an end to the Israeli violations in the Palestinian territories, to demand an investigation into the Israeli attack against the Freedom Flotilla, and to call for the prosecution of Israeli officials for their crimes against humanity.

If U've opted for International Law,help us look at the illegality of what Israel did
 

[B]If U've opted for International Law,help us look at the illegality of what Israel did[/B]

This matter falls under 'jus ad bellum'.Isn't it?It is a violation of UN Charter Article 2(3) which says that"All members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means only" and also a violation of Article 2(4) which says"All members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity and political independence of any State."
But Israel has a certain way to respond to its unending list of violations.It says it is only acting in self-defence,citing the much abused Article 51 of UN Charter.

That brings us to one troubling question...Where do you draw the line between "Use of Force" and "Act of Aggression"????Its important to know that because use of force can justify action under Art 51 but aggression is unjustifiable.

Two,I would like to know whether 'jus in bello'(the Geneva and Hague Conventions)applies in this case???(considering the fact that they relate to armed conflict and this sure doesn't qualify as armed conflict.)

Lastly,when Israel intercepted the flotilla ships,it entered into Gaza's waters.What does the Law of Sea say about that?How bad is it for a country to penetrate another country's territorial waters???

[B]I would appreciate an informative reply[/B]

Now its time for the Muslim Ummah to be united and Muslims should take strickt action against this greatest crime.
We strongly condemn this....
At this moment where is International Community....!
Where is UNO....!!
IS this not a terrerism....!!!
IS this not a voilation of Human Rights.....!!!!
If this action is taken by the Muslims then the scenario will be totaly different...

merciless massacre
 

it is an international criminal act and against the basic human rights
But question is why it is always carried out against the MUSLIMS?
it is point to think and work on it.

extremely sad incident.
words fail to express the feelings.
another wake up call to the Muslims.
OIC session on emergency basis needs to be called upon within 24 hours.
The Muslim countries need to register protest at the UN and file a petition in the International Court of Justice.the parliaments and assemblies from all over the muslim countries shud pass a resolution of condemnation.

i think that this is what is possble at the moment.
i dun expect any miracle from OIC or muslim countries on their individual effort..

oic or any other organiztion, don't have enough courage to take effective steps againts isreal. thats why the american say ohh i see (oic).

Pakistan is the only Islamic country equipped with nuclear arms. It is the responsibility of our leaders to get benefit from this position and adopt stern measures to avoid such incidents in future. Pakistani Journalist is also a victim in this incident. We have technology but no courage, for which day we invented these arms? We are so weak that even we can't stop in drone attacks then how to prevent Israel from their brutality. We are unaware of our strength and position, and always suffer. :onesec

Making raid overtly over flotilla freedom vessels headed for Gaza (containing food,medicines,clothes,etc.) by Israeli occupation forces can be said an attempt to violate all boundaries of international laws..that are based on human values.

Imagine, if same kind of happening took place in Israel's sphere of water...then what would have been the response of the West (an apostle of peaceful world)?

Organisations like OIC and Arab league are supposed to be toothless...because hitherto, they have been failed to analyse the main stream of middle east politics and its dimensions.

Closing Rafah crossing...shows how Egyptian government is restraint in front of Binjamin's administration. However, the decision of illegal occupancy of Palestinian territory may be an irrepairable consequences for the territory of Egypt....if same trend continues.....

The issues of overshadowing the Geneva convention,Heague accord, Charter of UN...have become norm for Israeli government.....because they have never ever been taken for a single round of Security Council's international sanctions and still embolden to repeating the history.

Friends, certain brutal attack may have killed a number of on board muslim activists but ill-planning of Muslim world has killed the spirit of themseleves.

Where are our leaders now? Why don't they call an emergency meeting of parliament? There should be emergency meeting not any regular meeting for only condemn these acts. Why don't they call their ambassador? Dont know when they'l wake up from "ghaflat ki neend" ?

May God save Pakistan and gave a true leadership to Pakistan. (ameen)

Dear

This issue is not supposed to be our national one, besides, it's an international dispute....that is to be addressed with global 'consensus ad idem'.

Leadership from a single country can't do what is to be done....it is resposibility of all those who love huminity no matter, are muslims or non-muslims.

In my opinion, Arab leadership needs to wake up from unending slumber...because it suits them.....

Pakistani nation and it's leadership are still on their way to break the vicious circle of crises...that's legacy of our uninvited dictators.

Dear what i meant to say was that our leadership should be united at this inhuman act first, then they should take serious action by raising their voice in front of international forum. You are right that leadership of a single country cant do anything but "journey of thousand miles starts with a single step".What our Govt has done for the missing journalist uptill now? Atleast they could have talk to their ambassador now but still they are beating about the bush.

Aaaahhh!!
what our leadership can do?
yeah but they are quite home in "condemning"...it is the only thing they can do
we condemn...they condemn, i condemn!!
i think they do not have any further steps to take....they dont have any influence, people come and do what they like and our govt is proving itself the best spectator in the world.

is it the ultimate solution to all the problems pakistan is facing.....how can we point them out in international affairs....like this flotella issue at Gaza when they are failed in their home department

literally i have started hating the word "CONDEMN" by using it they think they have performed their duty

Not surprising........
 

if history is any guide,then recent news regarding israeel's assault on a ship carrying aid for the gazans could be heard yawning. what will happen now.. condemnations n nothing else....... america is there is to give israel a licence to go any limit in achieving his inauspicious objectives.... thats it.and oic cannot be made fruitful untill we individually n collectively bring in self reform...untill that happens.. plz stop criticising jews,christs etc etc.

Three Pakistanis includes, Syed Talat Hussain, the Executive Director News and Current Affairs of Aaj News, his producer Raza Agha and Nadeem Ahmad Khan of Khubaid Foundation, are part a convoy comprised of more than 100 people of Arab countries. The convoy crossed the Jordan River at sunrise Wednesday aboard four buses.

@all the members..

"The price of Camp David


by Edward Said

One year ago, Bill Clinton convened a meeting of the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships at the presidential retreat in Camp David to finalise a peace agreement that he thought they were ready for. I emphasise Clinton's role in all this because it was characteristic of the man that Palestinians had placed their hopes in, had greeted in Ramallah and Gaza like a hero, had deferred to on every occasion, that he rushed together the two opponents, locked together for decades in a convoluted struggle, to be able to say for his own selfish purposes that he had engineered an historic achievement.

Yasser Arafat didn't want to go. Ehud Barak was there mainly to extract a promise from the Palestinians that would end the conflict and, more important, would end all Palestinian claims against Israel (including the right of return for refugees) once the Oslo process had been concluded. Clinton had always been an opportunist first and last, a Zionist second, and a clumsy politician third. The Palestinians were the weakest party; they were badly led and poorly prepared. Clinton surmised that because his (and Barak's) terms in office were ending, he could produce a peace ceremony based on Palestinian capitulation, a ceremony that would forever enshrine his presidency by erasing the memory of Monica Lewinsky and the developing scandal of Marc Rich's pardon.

This great plan, of course, failed completely. Even American sources recently made public supported the Palestinian argument that Barak's "generous offer" was neither an offer nor generous. Robert Malley, a member of Clinton's White House-based National Security Council, has published a report on what took place and, although it is critical of Palestinian tactics during the Camp David summit, it shows clearly that Israel wasn't even close to offering what the Palestinians' legitimate national aspirations required. But Malley spoke out in July 2001, a full year after the Camp David summit ended and well after Israel's well-oiled propaganda machine launched the by now standard chorus that Arafat had mischievously rejected the best imaginable Israeli offer. This chorus was abetted by Clinton's repeated claim that, whereas Barak was courageous, Arafat was only disappointing. And so the thesis has lodged in public discourse ever since, to Palestine's immense detriment. Unnoticed was the observation made by an Israeli information flunky that after Camp David and Taba, no Palestinians played a consistent role disseminating a Palestinian version of the debacle. Thus, Israel has had the field to itself, with results in exploitation and backlash that have been virtually incalculable.

I was well aware of the damage being done to the Intifada as a result of Israel's self-portrayal as a rejected peace-lover last autumn and winter. I made phone calls to members of Arafat's entourage urging them to convince their leader of how Israel was making use of Palestinian silence, which it quickly established was the verbal equivalent of Palestinian violence. Word reached me that Arafat was adamant, that he refused to address his people, the Israelis, or the world, no doubt hoping that fate or his own miraculous powers of non-communication would affect the Israeli disinformation campaign. In any event, my urging did absolutely no good. Arafat and his numerous lackeys remained ineffective, uncomprehending, and of course largely silent.

We must blame ourselves first of all. Neither our leadership nor our intellectuals seem to have grasped that even a brave anti-colonial uprising cannot on its own explain itself, and that what we (and the other Arabs) regard as our right of resistance can be made to seem by Israel like the most unprincipled terrorism or violence. In the meantime, Israel has persuaded the world to forget its own violent occupation and its terrorist collective punishment -- to say nothing of its unstoppable ethnic cleansing -- against the Palestinian people.

Indeed, we have made matters worse for ourselves by allowing the inadequate Arafat to come and go as he pleases on the question of violence. Every human rights document ever formulated entitles a people to resist military occupation, the destruction of homes and property, and the expropriation of land for the purpose of settlements. Arafat and his advisers seem not to have understood that when they blindly entered Israel's unilateral dialectic of violence and terror -- verbally speaking -- they had in essence given up their right of resistance. Instead of making clear that any relinquishing of resistance had to be accompanied by Israel's withdrawal and/or equal relinquishing of its occupation, the Palestinian people were made vulnerable by their leadership to charges of terror and violence. Everything Israel did became retaliation. Everything Palestinians did was either violence or terror or (usually) both. The resulting spectacle of a war criminal like Sharon denouncing Palestinian "violence" has been little short of disgusting.

Another consequence of Palestinian ineptitude was that it let the so-called Israeli peace activists off the hook, turning that sad collection of camp- followers into silent allies of Israel's lamentable Sharon-led government. A few brave and principled Israelis like some of the New Historians -- Jeff Halper, Michel Warschavsky, and their groups -- are an exception. How many times have we heard the official "peaceniks" rant on about their "disappointment" at Palestinian "ingratitude" and violence? How often does anyone tell them that their role is to pressure their governments to end the occupation and not (as they always have) to lecture a people under occupation about their magnanimity and disappointed hopes? Would any but the most reactionary French person in 1944 be tolerant of German pleas to be "reasonable" about Germany's occupation of France? No, of course not. But we tolerate the hectoring Israeli "peace" proponents to go on and on about how "generous" Barak has been, without reminding them that every one of their leaders has made his name as a killer or oppressor of Arabs, from 1948 to the present. Ben-Gurion presided over the Nakba; Eshkol over the conquests of 1967; Begin over Deir Yassin and Lebanon; Rabin over the bone-breaking of the first Intifada and, before that, over the evacuation of 60,000 unarmed Palestinian civilians from Ramleh and Lydda in 1948; Peres over the destruction of Qana; Barak personally took part in the assassination of Palestinian leaders; Sharon led the massacre of Qibya and was responsible for Sabra and Shatila. The real role of the Israeli peace camp is to do what it has never seriously done, which is to acknowledge all of that and to prevent further outrage by the Israeli army and air force against a dispossessed and stateless people, not to be free and easy with advice to Palestinians or to express hopes and disappointment to the people whom Israel has oppressed for over half a century.

But once the Palestinian leadership had forsaken its principles and pretended that it was a great power capable of playing the game of nations, it brought on itself the fate of a weak nation, with neither the sovereignty nor the power to reinforce its gestures or its tactics. So hypnotised is Mr Arafat with his supposed standing as a president, jumping from Paris to London to Beijing to Cairo on one pointless state visit after another, that he has forgotten that the weapons the weak and the stateless cannot ever give up are its principles and its people. To occupy and unendingly defend the high moral ground; to keep telling the truth and reminding the world of the full historical picture; to hold on to the lawful right of resistance and restitution; to mobilise people everywhere rather than to appear with the likes of Chirac and Blair; to depend neither on the media nor the Israelis but on oneself to tell the truth. These are what Palestinian leaders forgot first at Oslo and then again at Camp David. When will we as a people assume responsibility for what after all is ours and stop relying on leaders who no longer have any idea what they are doing?

By the way, the murder of 100 people in Model Town/Garhi shaho and then 12 people in Jinnah Hospital in the same week and in our very own Lahore, Pakistan was also "merciless"
Lets have a look in our own "girayban" as well.

1.If Iran would have attacked the aid ships massacring civilians, imagine the US response.
2. The important thing about the israeli history is that it keeps repeating itself.
3. OIC has simply become "O I SEE"

I personally think Pakistan, Turkey and Iran have fantastic chance to get muslim leadership status from Arabs. Turkey is already playing its role and Iran is also proactive. Pakistan must come forward and should condemn it in the strongest terms.

But state of pakistan was not involved in that. While attacking the freedom flotilla was the act of israeli govt. People attcking the innocent civilians in pakistan have same merciless agenda as the state of israel(though i dont accept it a legitimate state). Thats why world is condemning terrorism whether perpetrated by individuals or by states. :vangry

I think Egypt and Turkey should detach themselves from relations with Israel. All muslim countries needs unity at this time. They should take collective stand in UN.

hello all! a new member i am to this css forum, however, the topic under discussion is not new or probably unknown to me or any of us; so i was really excited to join u all in this discussion! it is absolutely agreeable, zohaib, that none of our so called international organisations like that of oic can help muslims out of this tyranny. thats probably why america says oh i see and just kicks the matter off its desk! oic is DEAD; its no use at all to call yet another oic conference, bcuz it is merely a coffee shop where people gather, chatter, flutter and flatter and just disperse away like bees.... unless we dont gather our bones and stand up as a nation, put a ban to provincialism, racial prejudice, other nations would continue to oppress us.......

The OIC is based on religion . The new world is moving away from religious identity of people. OIC will be more ineffective in future . The world want to think of individuals not any religious group of either nature . Muslims should move forward and talk about the whole world because Islam is a universal religion .

[B]The Israeli flotilla attack: victimhood, aggression and tribalism[/B]
By Glenn Greenwald


One of the primary reasons the Turkish Government has been so angry in its denunciations of the Israeli attack on the flotilla is because many of the dead were Turkish citizens. That's what governments typically do: object vociferously when their citizens are killed by foreign nations under extremely questionable circumstances. Needless to say, that principle -- as all principles are -- will be completely discarded when it comes to the U.S. protection of Israel:


A U.S. citizen of Turkish origin was among the nine people killed when Israeli commandos attacked a Gaza-bound aid flotilla . . . An official from the Turkish Islamic charity that spearheaded the campaign to bust the blockade on Gaza identified the U.S. citizen as 19-year-old Furkan Dogan . . . . Dogan, who held a U.S. passport, had four bullet wounds to the head and one to the chest . . . .


Will the fact that one of the dead at Israel's hands was an American teenager with four bullet wounds to his head alter the Obama administration's full-scale defense of Israel? Does that question even need to be asked? Not even American interests can undermine reflexive U.S. support for anything Israel does; even the Chief of the Mossad acknowledged this week that "Israel is progressively becoming a burden on the United States." One dead 19-year-old American with 4 bullet holes in his head (especially one of Turkish origin with a Turkish-sounding name) surely won't have any impact.

Yesterday, newly elected British Prime Minister David Cameron became the latest world leader to unequivocally condemn Israel, saying the attack was "completely unacceptable" and demanding an end to the blockade. But last night on Charlie Rose's show, Joe Biden defended Israel with as much vigor as any Netanyahu aide or Weekly Standard polemicist. Biden told what can only be described as a lie when, in order to justify his rhetorical question "what's the big deal here?," he claimed that the ships could have simply delivered their aid to Israel and Israel would then have generously sent it to Gaza ("They've said, 'Here you go. You're in the Mediterranean. This ship -- if you divert slightly north you can unload it and we'll get the stuff into Gaza'."). In fact, contrary to the Central Lie being told about the blockade, Israel prevents all sorts of humanitarian items having nothing whatsoever to do with weapons from entering Gaza, including many of the supplies carried by the flotilla.

One can express all sorts of outrage over the Obama administration's depressingly predictable defense of the Israelis, even at the cost of isolating ourselves from the rest of the world, but ultimately, on some level, wouldn't it have been even more indefensible -- or at least oozingly hypocritical -- if the U.S. had condemned Israel? After all, what did Israel do in this case that the U.S. hasn't routinely done and continues to do? As even our own military officials acknowledge, we're slaughtering an "amazing number" of innocent people at checkpoints in Afghanistan. We're routinely killing civilians in all sorts of imaginative ways in countless countries, including with drone strikes which a U.N. official just concluded are illegal. We're even targeting our own citizens for due-process-free assassination. We've been arming Israel and feeding them billions of dollars in aid and protecting them diplomatically as they (and we) have been doing things like this for decades. What's the Obama administration supposed to say about what Israel did: we condemn the killing of unarmed civilians? We decry these violations of international law? Even by typical standards of government hypocrisy, who in the U.S. Government could possibly say any of that with a straight face?


What this really underscores is that the mentality driving both Israel and the U.S. is quite similar, which is why those two countries find such common cause, even when the rest of the world recoils in revulsion. One of the more amazing developments in the flotilla aftermath is how a claim that initially appeared too self-evidently ludicrous to be invoked by anyone -- Israel was the victim here and was acting against the ship in self-defense --has actually become the central premise in Israeli and (especially) American discourse about the attack (and as always, there is far more criticism of Israeli actions in Israel than in the U.S.).

How could anyone with the slightest intellectual honesty claim that Israel and its Navy were the victims of a boat which Jon Stewart said last night looked like "P Diddy's St. Bart's vacation yacht"; or that armed Israeli commandos were the victims of unarmed civilian passengers; or, more generally, that a nuclear-armed Israel with the most powerful military by far in the Middle East and the world's greatest superpower acting as Protector is the persecuted victim of a wretched, deprived, imprisoned, stateless population devastated by 40 years of brutal Israeli occupation and, just a year ago, an unbelievably destructive invasion and bombing campaign? The casting of "victim" and "aggressor" is blatantly reversed with such claims -- which is exactly the central premise that has been driving, and continues to drive, U.S. foreign policy as well. In Imperial Ambitions, Noam Chomsky -- talking about America's post-9/11 policies -- described the central mental deception that is at the heart of all nations which dominate others with force (and if you're one of those people who hear "Noam Chomsky" and shut your mind, pretend that this comes from "John Smith"):


In one of his many speeches, to U.S. troops in Vietnam, [Lyndon] Johnson said plaintively, "There are three billion people in the world and we have only two hundred million of them. We are outnumbered fifteen to one. If might did make right they would sweep over the United States and take what we have. We have what they want." That is a constant refrain of imperialism. You have your jackboot on someone's neck and they're about to destroy you.

The same is true with any form of oppression. And it's psychologically understandable. If you're crushing and destroying someone, you have to have a reason for it, and it can't be, "I'm a murderous monster." It has to be self-defense. "I'm protecting myself against them. Look what they're doing to me." Oppression gets psychologically inverted; the oppressor is the victim who is defending himself.

Thus, nuclear-armed Israel is bullied and victimized by starving Gazans with stones. The Israel Navy is threatened by a flotilla filled with wheelchairs and medicine. And the greatest superpower the Earth has ever known faces a grave and existential threat from a handful of religious fanatics hiding in caves. An American condemnation of Israel, as welcomed as it would have been, would be an act of senseless insincerity, because the two countries (along with many others) operate with this same "we-are-the-victim" mindset.


A prime cause of this inversion is the distortion in perception brought about by rank tribalism. Those whose worldview is shaped by their identification as members of a particular religious, nationalistic, or ethnic group invariably over-value the wrongs done to them and greatly under-value the wrongs their group perpetrates. Those whose world view is shaped by tribalism are typically plagued by an extreme persecution complex (the whole world is against us!!!; everyone who criticizes us is hateful and biased!!!). Haaretz today reports that "Jewish Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. gave a rare demonstration of unity on Wednesday when they backed Israel's raid of a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid flotilla." Gee, whatever could account for that "rare demonstration of unity" between these left-wing Jewish progressives and hard-core, Jewish right-wing war cheerleaders who agree on virtually nothing else? My, it's such a mystery.

I can't express how many emails I've received over the last week, from self-identified Jewish readers (almost exclusively), along the lines of: I'm a true progressive, agree with you on virtually every issue, but hate your views on Israel. When it comes to Israel, we see the same mindset from otherwise admirable Jewish progressives such as Anthony Weiner, Jerry Nadler, Eliot Spitzer, Alan Grayson, and (after a brief stint of deviation) Barney Frank. On this one issue, they magically abandon their opposition to military attacks on civilians, their defense of weaker groups being bullied and occupied by far stronger factions, their belief that unilateral military attacks are unjustified, and suddenly find common cause with Charles Krauthammer, The Weekly Standard, and the Bush administration in justifying even the most heinous Israeli crimes of aggression.

It will never cease to be mystifying (at least to me) that they never question why they suddenly view the world so differently when it comes to Israel. They never wonder to themselves:


I had it continuously drummed into my head from the time I was a small child, from every direction, that Israel was special and was to be cherished, that it's fundamentally good but persecuted and victimized by Evil Arab forces surrounding it, that I am a part of that group and should see the world accordingly. Is this tribal identity which was pummeled into me from childhood -- rather than some independent, dispassionate analysis -- the reason I find myself perpetually sympathizing with and defending Israel?


Doesn't the most minimal level of intellectual awareness -- indeed, the concept of adulthood itself -- require that re-analysis? And, of course, the "self-hating" epithet -- with which I've naturally been bombarded relentlessly over the last week -- is explicitly grounded in the premise that one should automatically defend one's "own group" rather than endeaveor to objectively assess facts and determine what is right and true.

This tribalism is hardly unique to Israel and Jews; it's instead universal. As the Bush years illustrated, there is no shortage of Americans who "reason" the same way:


I was taught from childhood that America is right and thus, even in adulthood, defend America no matter what it does; my duty as an American is to defend and justify what America does and any American who criticizes the U.S. is "self-hating" and anti-American; the wrongs perpetrated by Us to Them pale in comparison to the wrongs perpetrated by Them on Us.

Or listen to Fox News fear-mongers declare how Christians in the U.S. and/or white males -- comprising the vast majority of the population and every power structure in the country -- are the Real Persecuted Victims, from the War on Christmas to affirmative action evils. Ronald Reagan even managed to convince much of the country that the true economic injustices in America were caused by rich black women driving their Cadillacs to collect their welfare checks. This kind of blinding, all-consuming tribalism leads members of even the most powerful group to convince themselves that they are deeply victimized by those who are far weaker, whose necks have been under the boots of the stronger group for decades, if not longer.

That's just the standard symptom of the disease of tribalism and it finds expression everywhere, in every group. It's just far more significant -- and far more destructive -- when the groups convincing themselves that they are the Weak and Bullied Victims are actually the strongest forces by far on the planet, with the greatest amount of weaponry and aggression, who have been finding justifications for so long for their slaughtering of civilians that, as Israeli Amos Oz suggested this week about his country, there are virtually no limits left on the naked aggression that will be justified. Thus, even when Israel attacks a ship full of civilians and wheelchairs in international waters and kills at least 9 human beings, this is depicted by its tribal loyalists as an act of justified self-defense against the Real Aggressors.

it is a very to america that he alway throw mud on the hurt of mhis naib president given a statment that israil is good israil has rights to attack on beach and kidnapped the muslim and kill them and it is sad to say our muslim countries are quiet istead of turky ,. turkey has show a good miner in islam way..
