The world shrieks in horror over it – mostly because condemning Israel costs nothing and can buy some cheap headlines. Here is my view:
It was clearly a provocation from start to finish. Why?
1. If you want to bring aid to Gaza, Israel has a regular channel for you do to that – pour it in…but the Israelis would like to check and make sure you aren’t also bringing in rocket parts.
2. Gaza is sealed off on the Egyptian side of the border, too. Why wasn’t there a convoy of trucks heading across the Sinai towards Gaza?
3. Why have anyone on the boat except for people absolutely vital to deliver the aid? This wasn’t a pleasure cruise.
The Islamists got what they wanted – people dead at the hands of the IDF. But the responsibility for the deaths must be placed where it belongs – in Islam, not in Israel.
The bottom line for me is this – until there is a church and a synagogue operating openly in Mecca, the Moslem world’s pleas will fall on deaf ears with me. In other words, until I’m no longer considered filth unworthy to be in Islam’s holy city, all Moslem claims about being treated justly and such are just so much nonsense spread about to advance a particular, political agenda.
And so all these shouts for justice in this incident are just so much noise. Be just and then seek justice. Don’t try to use injustice all the time and demand justice in your turn.
