As the rift between Israel and
Turkey deepens, the Israeli media is preparing its crowd
for another possible exciting bloody conflict.
Israel’s leading news outlet
Ynet, published a detailed comparison between
Israel’s and Turkey’s military capacity - it outlines
the size of the air force, navy, ground forces in the
respective countries. “Turkey”, it says, “posses much
bigger navy but our air force is larger.’
I guess
that this is what one would expect from Israel, a morbid
collective driven by war enthusiasm and some bizarre
craving for bloody conflict.
We have to remember,
that at least on the face of it, this new emerging rift
between Israel and Turkey, is not about land, oil or
assets. It is all about apology. Relations between the
two old allies have soured further in recent days after
the publication of the UN investigation into Israel's
murderous assault on a Turkish Mavi Marmara in high
seas. In the attack nine peace activists were murdered;
some of them were clearly executed in cold blood. Turkey
demands Israel’s. apology. For some reason Israel failed
to react. The meaning of it is simple. Israel prefers
the prospect of a violent development instead of
confronting its sin.
I will make myself as
simple, short and clear just to make sure that the
Israelis and their allies around the world understand
how futile their agenda is.
Islam is
unbeatable and indestructible. The Israelis
should remember their latest military blunders. In 2006
its army was humiliated by the Hezbula, a small Lebanese
paramilitary organisation. In just a few weeks the
heroic Hezbollah managed to bring Israel to its knees.
In 2008-9 Israeli Army mounted a massive attack on Gaza,
the initial objective was to dismantle the
democratically elected Hamas. Israel murdered more than
1400 Palestinians but it achieved none of its military
objectives. Hamas and Hezbollah won these
battles without air force, navy or tanks. In fact
resilience was enough to defeat the IDF.
But Israel is not alone, The English speaking Empire
is also heavily beaten in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Similarily, Iraqi insurgency and Taliban do not posses
tanks, F 16s or submarines. In the age of Islamic
resistance, tables of contents with numbers of tanks,
vessels, and airplanes are obsolete. It is the
spirit and the will rather than the tank that wins the
battle. This spirit better be called The Islam
Spring, and it is unbeatable indeed.
The message
for Israelis is plainly clear. Israel and its supporting
lobbies had better learn how to contain their inherent
violent tendencies. Israel cannot win this battle. The
sooner the Israelis encompass this obvious fact, the
better it is for Israel and for world peace.
