A political genius

Give your applause to dear Mr Arduan, Machiavelli himself would’ve given you a citation if he was still alive

It was a brilliant PR stunt indeed, you and your party have already lost any attention lately. Now in one sudden move you succeeded in reuniting your people around your “strong” leadership, you have shown the Arabs who is really protecting their Palestinian brothrers and you hit the “Jewish infidels” hard!
You’re thriving in the latest surveys.
So 9 people lost their lives, all in all it’s a small price for you and them isn’t it? After all they wanted to be Shaheeds, everybody got what they want… oh wait, not Israel.
Yes dear Mr Arduan, you stabbed us right in the back and twisted that knife countless times, or as people claim a knife isn’t exactly a weapon cause they were all aboard the “peace” ship “The Marmara”. You can afford to lose some tens of thousands of Israeli tourists that come every single year to your country for a great vacation, and of course you can get your weapons elsewhere, and if you have another earthquake then you can probably replace the IDF’s rescue squad, after all you found yourself a new ally- Iran.
By the way, between us, who remembers Ahmadinejad anyway?

State of emergency, emergency conferences by the UN Security Council, Massacre, crime, shock and more

State of emergency, emergency conferences by the UN Security Council, Massacre, crime, shock and more
So dozens are being killed and getting blown up almost every week in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan’ the Muslim extremists did confess
The world is shocked and is in a state of emergency, another UN Security Council conference, oh but way, not because of Iraq or Afghanistan, why would it be? There is something much more historic happening right now: 9 anarchists and Hamas supporters that call themselves knights guarding human rights are killed in an IDF operation on the flotilla of “peace and love” to Gaza (Woodstock material)
The world starts condemning Israel, live broadcasts and ambassadors are called in to clarify the situation while they’re at it.
Well after all it’s about the most horrible country in the world isn’t it?! It is Israel after all
At least there were a few who gained a bit: the media has some good stories, the Hamas who not to long ago was throwing Fatah activists from the roofs, is now back in the game oh and of course our dearest Turkish prime minister Arduan
You’re really on a roll there eh Arduan? You got a great agreement with Iran’s Uranium, the world can now sleep peacefully, the danger has past and now you’ve brought the poor Gaza population to mind as well, but wait… what about the Kurdish people? Oh well, we won’t bother you with such petty matters

Where is Goldstone?

Here are bare, even tearful facts: NATO forces attacked a convoy of vehicles in Afghanistan, killing 27 innocent Afghan civilians, including 4 women and a child. For those who have already forgotten, not too long ago, 13 Afghans were killed, all innocent, when a rocket was shot into a civilian house by mistake instead of the position of Taliban fighters.

Let there be no misunderstanding: Even from a distance of a thousand miles, even when it comes to unknown families in a foreign country hostile to us, loss of life is very painful, the sudden deaths of people who wanted to live, love, build a house, plant a tree. From this point of view, our tears are real and are the same as all tears all over the world.

But now, after reviewing all this, we have a small question, tiny, miniature, something unimportant at all: Where are you, Goldstone?

Here is an unintelligent guess: the world is crying and crying for every scratch that is caused to a Palestinian child (we're against, against, against even a scratch like that), the world that presented the State of Israel in the paper every morning and every evening on television as a killer and a murderer that kills girls and shoots windows of houses to later find bodies , bleeding bodies, this world will be quiet, or at most, pay lip service to this incident BBC will get constipated because of the things said in London , the New York Times will take a day or two of blindness, left-wing circles, Berkeley will take this day off, professors at Oxford and Cambridge will spend today and tomorrow playing cricket.

And the world stays and will stay silent. It has justified and good reasons: it's not Jews that shoot Palestinian babies, it's not Israel that protects the lives of the children.

P.S. Don't think that, God forbid, we support the deadly fire that is not in its place. We're just against hypocrisy of a paralyzed world. If we were wrong and the world today complained - we would ask forgiveness. We can make a mistake the first time in this matter.
