THE DOCTOR IS IN

LAS VEGAS-Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Israel did it again. It seems Israel is always looking to provoke a warring conflict and keep the Middle East unstable. Now Israel uses a preemptive strike on others who were not bothering Israel in any way. On 05/31/2010 Israel attacked a flotilla of small boats which were delivering humanitarian supplies to refugees. The boats were miles out into international waters.
This Jewish raid on a group of peaceful activists was uncalled for. After the raid and after killing a number of unarmed activists Israel tried to rationalize the attack by saying these unarmed people attacked the Jewish armed Special Forces. What? Hey, the Special Forces repelled from helicopters down onto the unarmed small boats brandishing machine guns and pistols. My view, the peaceful activists were just trying to defend themselves from a vicious attack by armed and masked storm troopers.
The activists tried to beat the armed soldiers off with sticks and fists and folding chairs that were on the deck, but to no avail. One report of the actual attack was described by a United States Ambassador who was a passenger on one of the smaller boats. He said that on his small craft everything was quiet and suddenly a number of armed Jewish hooded Special Forces members appeared and took control of his ship without incident. The passengers and crew had no weapons and could not resist.
Can you imagine, a group of small boats (many looked like small yachts) traveling in "international waters" attacked by a country using armed Special Forces and forcing the small flotilla of boats to change course and sail into Israeli territorial waters. Where is the world outrage? This is no different that the acts of piracy that have been occurring around the world recently.
Israel's Netanyahu defends this war like action and tries to say Israel is the victim. He must be insane. Case : A Flotilla of small yacht like boats sailing in international waters, not bothering anyone, when suddenly the boats are attacked by armed Special Forces from Israel. Israel knowingly attacked these boats without any provocation whatsoever. Israel planned the attack in advance and now Netanyahu has the audacity to say his armed forces who were the aggressors are victims. Talk about passing the buck. Wow!
These types of actions by Israel is becoming commonplace and as each aggressive move by Israel toward some other territory and /or persons under the guise of "protecting Israel" becomes more aggressive and without merit, their play is constantly being sanctioned and backed by the United States government. Personally, I think that these tactics by both Israel and the USA are becoming old and stale.
This sleazy move and sneak attack by Israeli armed forces upon an unarmed flotilla of small boats is like your neighbor saying: "I think John Doe, our neighbor, has a gun in his house and someday Joe Doe may use that gun against me so before that ever happens I'm going to get my entire family and all of my friends to arm themselves and we are going to attack John Doe's house and remove that gun."
The United States should stick up for Israel when they are doing things according to the laws of the world but we should not willy-nilly accept and justify every move they make.
Netanyahu and Israel have for decades provoked and instigated situations so as to delay any peace process and peace talks to allow a separate state solution in the Middle East. Netanyahu and his predecessors continually stir the pot in the entire region.
It is very clear that Israel is a warring country and wants to always have Middle East tensions in the forefront and it does its best to draw the United States into a quagmire and expects the United States to protect their country at the expense of the rest of the region and the world.
In this instance, Israel took a page from President Bush's play book and decided to conduct a preemptive strike while at the same time relying on the acts of Bush as he attacked the sovereign country of Iraq. Israel's thinking, If Bush could do it to Iraq, Israel can do the same thing to anyone they want too.
I say that Israels use of armed military force on the open seas, in international waters, with total disregard for human life and their wanton killing of innocent people who were unarmed is still another aggressive provocation and a slap in the face to the entire international community and I submit that their misguided, insane, incompetent actions violates the worlds humanitarian scruples, purpose and values as well as violating international law.
The overpowering might of trained Israeli Special Forces against a few boats of unarmed activists was totally unjustified and the United States should get off its high horse and continued practice of a nod and a wink to Israel and stop defending Israel for every act that country deems necessary. Instead the USA should be a fair and honest broker in the Middle East and look out for everyone in that area rather than always siding with Israel.
I wonder how some of these money grabbing lawmakers would feel if a military force invaded their state, set up blockades and told them what streets they could travel down, when they could travel those streets to buy food and supplies, where they could live and was obliged to show the occupiers papers and ID cards to get about. How would these same lawmakers feel if the occupying force had control over the electricity they require and the water they drink and both could be rationed at the whim of the occupation or, if the occupiers thought that one or more
lawmakers were plotting against them for whatever reason those occupiers could bulldoze down their business and/or their house as punishment.
My question to the USA politicians: Would you like to be treated like that? Would you fight back? I say to those politicians," yes you would." You would fight back in any way you could. Well lawmakers, that is exactly what has been and is happening in the Middle East.
Israel has been occupying lands and restricting peoples movements and disrupting other peoples lifestyle for decades but the USA Congress and administrations both past and present have a jaundice eye and mind set toward Israel. I maintain that this one-sided negotiating is wrong. As long as the USA continues to side with only Israel and fails to broker peace talks and peace plans in an honest, open and transparent manner, there will never be peace in the Middle East.- And, that's my opinion. Draw your own conclusions. You decide.
