As I write this piece the scale of the Israeli lethal slaughter at sea is yet to be clear. However we already know that at around 4am Gaza time, hundreds of IDF commandos stormed the Free Gaza international humanitarian fleet. We learn from the Arab press that at least 16 peace activists have been murdered and more than 50 were injured.\u00a0\u00a0Once again it is devastatingly obvious that Israel is not trying to hide its true nature: an inhuman murderous collective\u00a0\u00a0fuelled by a psychosis and driven by paranoia.<\/p>\n
For days the Israeli government\u00a0\u00a0prepared the Israeli society for the massacre at sea. It said that the Flotilla carried weapons, it had \u2018terrorists\u2019 on board. Only yesterday evening it occurred to me that this Israeli malicious media spin was there to prepare the Israeli public for a full scale Israeli deadly military operation in international waters.\u00a0\u00a0Make no mistake. If I knew exactly where Israel was heading and the possible consequences, the Israeli cabinet and military elite were fully aware of it all the way along.\u00a0\u00a0What happened yesterday wasn\u2019t just a pirate terrorist\u00a0\u00a0attack. It was actually murder in broad day light even though it happened in the dark.<\/p>\n
Yesterday at 10 pm I contacted\u00a0Free Gaza and shared with them everything I knew. I obviously grasped that hundreds of peace activists most of them elders, had very little chance against the Israeli killing machine. I was praying all night for our brothers and sisters.\u00a0\u00a0At 5am GMT the news broke to the world. In international waters Israel raided an innocent international convoy of boats carrying cement, paper and medical aid to the besieged Gazans. The Israelis were using live ammunition murdering and injuring everything around them.<\/p>\n
Today we will see demonstrations around the world, we will see many events mourning our dead.\u00a0\u00a0We may even see some of Israel\u2019s friends \u2018posturing\u2019 against the slaughter. Clearly this is not enough.<\/p>\n
The massacre that took place yesterday was a premeditated Israeli operation. Israel wanted blood because it believes that its \u2018power of deterrence\u2019\u00a0\u00a0expands with the more dead it leaves behind. The Israeli decision to use hundreds of commando soldiers against civilians was taken by the Israeli cabinet together with the Israeli top military commanders. What we saw yesterday wasn\u2019t just a failure on the ground. It was actually an institutional failure of a morbid society that a long time ago lost touch with humanity.<\/p>\n
It is no secret that Palestinians are living in a siege for years. But it is now down to the nations to move on and mount the ultimate pressure on Israel and its citizens. Since the massacre yesterday was committed by a popular army that followed instructions given by a \u2018democratically elected\u2019 government, from now on, every Israeli\u00a0\u00a0should be considered as a\u00a0\u00a0suspicious war criminal unless proved different.<\/p>\n
Considering the fact that Israel stormed naval vessels sailing under Irish, Turkish and Greek flags. Both NATO\u00a0\u00a0members and EU countries must immediately cease their\u00a0\u00a0relationships with\u00a0\u00a0Israel\u00a0\u00a0and close their airspace to Israeli airplanes.<\/p>\n
Considering yesterday\u2019s news about Israeli nuclear submarines being stationed in the Gulf, the world must react quickly and severely.\u00a0\u00a0Israel is now officially mad and deadly. The Jewish State is not just careless about human life,\u00a0\u00a0as we have been following\u00a0\u00a0the Israeli press campaign leading to the slaughter,\u00a0\u00a0Israel actually\u00a0\u00a0seeks pleasure in inflicting pain and devastation on others.<\/p>\n
