Israel, State Of War

I was in International Relations lecture when the atrocities of the little tiny state of Israel upon Palestinian been propagated incredibly. My lecturer and friends of idealist have the tendency to presumes, Israel is inhumane and barbaric nation on planet Earth. Israel violates international laws in many ways so long of its existence at Middle East region. Even, I was defined by their teaching to pass the paper with, no such auspicious essays to take any allegiance towards Israel.

My lecturer told me, Israel is ultimately strong and influential because of the United States of America undisputed position as world's superpower. They are small in population, but they think very big and ambitious. They are driven by high sentiments of Jewish rich history, cultures and nationalism to succeed. They are bearing the nadir of Holocaust which President Ahmedinejad denies, they are struggling to walk and stay into their homeland which promised by God before Palestinians, and they are suffering prior to relentless isolation of international community.

The world has forgotten the thrust of war against terrorism. International community again denies the very real threats of human rights at most members of Human Rights Council. No one is questioning Iran, Burma, China, Libya and associates pertaining their reputation as mass human rights abusers at their backyards.

Today, democracies only constitute 40% of UNHRC memberships. Newly elected unopposed seven authoritarians regimes including Saudi Arabia, Cuba and Russia. Most deplorable of UNHRC is 80% of its resolution took the stands condemning Israel, hence former President Bush refused to join the initiatives. But now, President Obama want to participate and he is joining this egregious initiatives.

What happened when China brutalized the dissidents in Tibet not too long time ago? Sudan's strident policies which restricting its peoples movement and expressions especially women as requirement of Islamic laws? What about Aung San Syu Kyi who remains imprisoned? Where is the critical action against all of them? Why should we entertaining solely the plights of Gaza and Palestinian? Does these events waging similar repercussions with the scenarios in Israeli- Palestinian conflicts? One death of Palestinians has expunged 100,000 Africans deaths under dictatorial governments.

The incident of Flotilla captures the attention of the international community compares to any others. Eyes and mind reasoning, while pointing fingers at Jewish as villains of the story. According to them, Jewish and Nethayahu are bad guys anyway. According to them as well, Hamas and Palestinians are benign and formidable forces, extolling its leaders as heroes.

I was not there to tell you the whole of story. In fact, I'm reaching every single news over the incident and analyses the truth. I'm reaching to every video released by Israeli and others to produce better judgment. I saw in the video where Israeli forces boarded the ship without provocation of weapons. Oh my God, it was very different from what I saw in mainstream media, where several scenes taken to vindicate the Israeli triggered the fire which killed dozens of peace activists.

Peace activists were prepared to battered Israeli forces with metal, stick and grenades. They throw Israeli forces out of the ship. Some of the activists turned into extremists and therefore stabbed few times at one of the Israeli forces before the chaotic on ship ended with all peace activist arrested. At the end of the video, I heard the notorious song from the activists on board. They sang anti Israel with it goes like this "Khaybar, Khaybar, Khaybar O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return"








However, lives lost from both sides during the raids. I'm wondering whether peace activists intended to deliver the aids to Gaza or meeting martyrdom.

The whole world expresses their outrage over the incident, some demonstrates in front of American Embassies and Israel Embassies to be seen as defender of Palestinians and Gaza. Essays from demagogue world leaders across the globe are queuing up condemning Israel. I saw, some of us commended Prime Minister of Turkey, Erdogan due to his stern and harsh reactions over, to since 1949 recognized diplomatic relations, Israel. The issue of humanitarian aids raises where 1.5 million peoples of Gaza are in very desperate accessing food, medical and education. Hamas is taking them as hostages, while manipulating them for their political and religion purposes. They want to kill Jews as many as they could. It is stated in their oaths of Hamas. Hamas once said, Gaza will be the graveyard for Israeli army. Now, this is again, a serious threat to the existence of Israel. While missiles and rockets raining down to Israel and kills its peoples, Hamas with Iranian government backed has been recognized as terrorist organization won the election in 2006 purging Mahmoud Abbas.

The world is lax of this purely evidence of Israel is under attacks by perilous Hamas. Instead, the world engrosses by Hamas, who primarily depicts as victims at all cost. We strengthen Hamas with sympathy and mercy behalf of people of Gaza. International community is blinded through; supporting the peoples of Gaza via Hamas. Hamas serves the interest of killing Jews fulfilling the vision of Islamic rules from Iran; wipe off Israel from the map, they serves no reasons to Gaza.

The flow of international support into the borders of Gaza is massive and tones of various supply reaches to its peoples. Israel does allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. There is no hunger and starvation in Gaza. The UN Food and Agriculture has set 1,800 calories per person per day as the minimum amount of food necessary to prevent hunger





The blockade of Gaza is very historical to study. Legal point of view, there is nothing wrongs the blockade of Gaza. As far as I am concern, the blockade was acknowledged by Quartets and United Nations (UN) few years back. According to international law, Israel has the rights to stop shipments of good to Gaza and I quotes Gershon Baskin arguments which leverage his sense of the blockade; Part III, Section 59 of the Fourth Geneva Convention (on occupied territory). It states

"A power granting free passage to consignments on their way to territory occupied by an adverse party to the conflict shall have the right to search the consignments, to regulate their passage according to prescribed times and routes, and to be reasonably satisfied...that these consignments are to be used for the relief of the needy population"

Sea blockade is not something new. There was blockade of Gaza since 1949 for couples of ugliness, in between Egyptian military occupation on Gaza from 1949- 1967 and Israel's later on occupied the territory. It has been a very depth timelines to clarify significant events in its history. The Flotilla ship incident recently was pathetic whereby ignorance continue to be the excuse of avoiding Ashdod port. They should be avoided the violence clash if the regulation to unloaded the aids at Ashdod port been complied, for delivery to Gaza.

Hamas is unreliable government of Gaza. They smuggling weapons at its borders feeding its activities of hatred. They also uses growing inflow of humanitarian aids for smuggling and sometimes tunnels at Rafah borders. That is why, international community and United States of America must exerts its leverages upon Hamas to halting rockets and missiles attack to Israel, condemns Tehran and Damascus particularly Hezbollah for their support to Hamas and tough inspections every humanitarian aids across the borders.

Projecting the threats of Hamas of launching about 10,000 rockets and mortars rounds at Israel since 2001 is the critical survival of Israel's daily lives. I would like to reemphasize the fact of Israel has the rights of self defense from any external threats just like any sovereign nations. It is daunting task of the nation of Israel, standing side by side with rogues regimes while the only democracy state in the Middle East will prevails. Israel's enemy is the America's enemies. Israel is alone and strong in the region. Moreover, Israel is very strategic assets of the United States of America in the region advancing democracy and freedom. And therefore, America must not abandoning his friends, Israel or put them in risks of destruction mode. Israel's security is sacrosanct. It is non negotiable. Nethanyahu in his address during Israel's 62nd Independence Day said "A nation that wishes to stand tall must place all its trust in itself only" A bless from God to Israel is vital for mankind to celebrates. The scriptures profound Israelis is descendent of Abrahams. It is God's word for Israel in

"The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offsprings forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you." (Genesis 13:14, 15,16, 17)

The perseverance of Israel in confronting greatest conflict on planet Earth and their humiliation including anti Israel from the international community can best describes

"I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth and an object of cursing and horror, of scorn and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them" (Jeremiah 29:18)

As I grows up as conservative Catholic Christian, my teachers explained me the Israel, the chosen one and the land of God's promised in the Bible has underpins the beliefs

"and say to them, "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel...They will be my people and I will be their God" (Ezekiel 37:21,22,23)
