Pirates of the Mediterranean

The recent Israeli raid ala Pirates of the Caribbeans (or more aptly stated as Pirates of the Mediterranean) has bared it all. Israel has nowhere to hide. Or is it still adamant on sheepishly hiding behind the hems of the trousers (or more accurately called ‘hems of skirts’ of the U.S. government? A non gentlemanly move indeed!

Even the Mayor of the city of Richmond, California; Gayle McLaughlin (a lady mind you!) has lashed out her points – even though she may be wearing a skirt herself – kudos for the spirited statements. (Read her statement here)

Take a look at the autopsy results which were released by the Turkish authorities. What do they tell you? (Read full report here)

The nine victims (shahid - Subhanallah!):
1.Cengiz Alquyz, 42: Four gunshot wounds: back of head, right side of face, back, left leg
2.Ibrahim Bilgen, 60: Four gunshot wounds: right chest, back, right hip, right temple
3.Cegdet Kiliclar, 38: One gunshot wound: middle of forehead
4.Furkan Dogan, 19: Five gunshot wounds: nose, back, back of head, left leg, left ankle
5.Sahri Yaldiz: Four gunshot wounds: left chest, left leg, right leg twice
6.Aliheyder Bengi, 39: Six gunshot wounds: left chest, belly, right arm, right leg, left hand twice
7.Cetin Topcuoglu, 54: Three gunshot wounds: back of head, left side, right belly
8.Cengiz Songur, 47: One gunshot wound: front of neck
9.Necdet Yildirim, 32: Two gunshot wounds: right shoulder, left back

What do these signify about the atrocities done by the Israeli commandos on board the Mavi Marmara. Please bear in mind that these are unarmed civilians. It does not come as a surprise as “When it is time to kill, the Israelis know how to kill well.” Am quoting the Honourable Mr. Tayyip Edrogan, the Turkish Prime Minister’s speech as he walked off the centre stage of Davos, February 2009, chiding the moderator (Ignatius) in allowing the then Israeli P.M. Shimon Peres 25 minutes to speak while he, only 12 minutes and then vowing never to return!

This also proved ironic and against their own (Israelite) teachings. Erdogan also reminded them a few days ago that it is written in their Jewish Holy Book - that their 6th Commandment is that they should not kill. But of course, they choose to turn a deaf ear.

Israel's blockade of Gaza is illegal and should be lifted. This has been reiterated by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay. He had also called for an investigation into Israel's raid on aid supply ships.

I would say – the leaders of the so-called American leadership who consider themselves the Police of the World are merely waiting for the next dictated action from their real master (who else but the Zionists?), more like a tight lipped ‘gentleman’- tail between their legs, ‘covered up in skirts’ in the first place.

I do hope that the eyes of the world are now wide open…and that Palestine and its people will be free once again…Amin

PS. All Praises be to Allah for the safe return of our friends on board Mavi Marmara to their respective countries...
