What if Iran Had Carried out the Gaza Carnage?

Would my country have been treated the same way as Israel?

(TEHRAN) - It's not unjustifiable to consider Israel as the absolute incarnation of fraudulence, relentlessness and brutality.

Since its establishment, the Zionist regime has carried out actions which contravene the international regulations and cancel out the human rights in a way or another. Only a brief look into the account of Israel's bloody interaction with the Palestinian people over the past years shows us that this fabricated regime does not deserve "the right of existence", as the U.S. and European officials put it periodically.

Time to Redefine U.S.-Israel Foreign Policy

President Obama recognizes that the U.S. must make real progress on Israeli-Palestinian peace in order to regain credibility in the Middle East.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Isn't it time for a long overdue debate of our current Israeli foreign policy? The fallout from Israel’s 2006 war with Lebanon; its 2009 invasion of the Gaza strip; its erecting a wall or fence, which cuts deep into Palestinian territory, joining large Jewish settlement blocks to Israel; and its establishment of new settlements (called outposts), demolishing homes and uprooting plantations in the process.

And now Israel's predawn attack against the international aid convoy Gaza Freedom Flotilla, in which 20 activists on the board were killed and more than 30 wounded.

American Uprising?

If the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico doesn’t wake up the American people, then nothing will.

(CALGARY, Alberta) - At mid-morning on a Saturday, November 1, 1755, an estimated magnitude 9 earthquake destroyed Lisbon, Portugal.

There were between 10,000 and 100,000 people killed. The quake, subsequent fires and tsunami (the epicentre was 120 miles WSW of Cape St. Vincent) killed indiscriminately—young and old, rich and poor, men, women and children—no matter their station in life.

Turkey`s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Speaks Out Over Flotilla Massacre

Turkey responded when the death count was reportedly only 2; in fact the number is several times higher.

(ISTAMBUL) - We protest in the strongest terms the use of force by the Israeli Defense Forces against the civilians from many countries who want to transport humanitarian assistance to the people in Gaza, and among whom there are women and children, which, according to the initial information available, resulted in the death of 2 persons and injury of more than 30 people.

Israeli Butchery at Sea

Today we will see demonstrations around the world, we will see many events mourning our dead. We may even see some of Israel’s friends ‘posturing’ against the slaughter. Clearly this is not enough.

(LONDON) - 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 4:00 a.m. 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.

World Outcry Over Israeli Flotilla Attack

Reported by the Ma'an News Agency. This is their latest update:

(Bethlehem - Ma'an) - As several European countries summon their Israeli ambassadors, a chorus of condemnation has been voiced by world leaders and governments over Israel's raid on an aid convoy destined for Gaza, in which at least 10 activists were killed on Monday morning.

A statement issued by the UK's Foreign Secretary William Hague called on Israel to open all crossings for aid to enter Gaza. "I deplore the loss of life during the interception of the Gaza Flotilla. Our Embassy is in urgent contact with the Israeli Government. We are asking for more information and urgent access to any UK nationals involved."

GAZA Flotilla Massacre

While the Palestinian cause was only the cause celebré of Europeans with conscience, it was containable. Now, when it has become the concern of the local region, the countdown for the freak Zionist mini-Empire has begun.

(JAFFA, Israel) - Terrible news: dozens of our friends and comrades are dead and wounded in the pirate attack in the high seas on humanitarian aid boats by crazed Israeli Jews. This is a dreadful crime that will forever be remembered.

Massive Protests Planned Over Israel`s Pirate Massacre in International Waters

Israeli criminal navy attacks humanitarian ships after saying they would not.

(JERUSALEM) - Reports are circulating of 10-16 humanitarian activists killed and 50-60 injured.

The Israeli army had tried to make the media maneuver of saying they would arrest and take the boats when they enter Gaza coastal waters and tow the boats to port in Asdod (renamed Ashdod after the occupation of 1948) and had prepared tens to house the arrestees at that southern port.

Israel Attacks Unarmed Americans in International Waters

Israel kills unarmed activists flying the white flag; will the world ignore this one too? Americans should be outraged.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The most outrageous possible scenario is unfolding off the coast of Gaza, where humanitarian peace activists including several U.S. doctors have been attacked in a deadly confrontation with Israeli forces.

AMP Demands Safe Passage for Freedom Flotilla

"These ships are carrying motorized wheelchairs, prefabricated houses, and medicine" - Dr. Hatem Bazian, UC Berkeley

(CHICAGO) - The American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) has learned from people directly associated with the Freedom Flotilla that Israeli gunships have approached the Mavi Marmara in international waters.

AMP is extremely concerned for the safety of all on the Freedom Flotilla, particularly the American citizens aboard.
