If Israel is in question, the rest is (supposedly) detail

International law, human rights, the acquis of modernization, secularism and so on, call it what you will. Whatever has been said so far within this framework, when Israel is the subject you can put everything aside. When Israel is the subject, all these concepts and all this acquis amount to a mere detail for the "civilized world."

From the standpoint of international law as accepted by the United Nations, occupying another nation's land is unacceptable. When a country attempts it, it is characterized as an occupier and falls into an illegitimate situation under international law. Normally all countries suspend their relations on this basis, and embargoes and sanctions follow one after another.

But when Israel is the subject, from the hour it was founded it has occupied part, and after 1967 a broad expanse, of Palestinian and Syrian land. The UN characterizes the situation as occupation and demands its urgent withdrawal, but that is all. Israel recognizes none of the decisions the UN has taken in this direction.

When Israel is the subject, what are UN resolutions anyway?

Since 1967 Israel has been in the position of occupier over Palestinian lands, and this is in fact the fundamental source of the problem being experienced with Palestine. The violence said to be displayed by the Palestinians is nothing but the struggle to hold on in their own land, the effort to defend themselves in the most helpless way. Yet the sole source of both violence and aggression is Israel, which maintains the occupation and tries to spread it further with each passing day.

When Israel is the subject, the independence of nations, the struggle for freedom, all of it is a futile flailing, and even disturbing terrorist activity.

Against this aggression of Israel, supported and encouraged by the whole civilized world, the Palestinians have no means of defense other than simple weapons. Yet Israel is like a full-fledged war and massacre machine. Even so, the media of the civilized world opens its mouth, says "Israel's right to self-defense," closes its mouth, and speaks of "Hamas's terror." This is how the event, in which dozens of children on the Palestinian side are massacred every day in the most savage manner, is reflected in the Western media.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has already declared that she is on Israel's side in the war between Gaza and Israel, with the images of Palestinian children killed with their bodies torn to pieces on the beaches in plain view. As if it were a war between two equal powers... Even in stating her side, she distorts the event.

In essence, this is the picture of the civilized world regarding the blood of babies as a detail when Israel is the subject.

Israel, which takes the reference and justification for its existence entirely from a Zionist-Jewish interpretation, considers a statement in the holy book sufficient to count as the title deed to these lands. Imagine members of another religion claiming the same thing in some other way, and see what would happen to them.

Yet when Israel is the subject, secularism too is merely a detail. The very existence of Israel in fact shows that the claim of secularism in the modern world amounts to one great lie. Secularism is only an argument resorted to in order to alienate Muslim nations from their identities and to put shackles on their necks, and it is never to be applied to Israel.

Meanwhile, France has announced that it has banned the rally in support of Gaza that was planned to be held in Paris today. Well, was not the right to protest, the right to demonstrate, supposedly very sacred? Could it not be obstructed?

What all did they not tell us at Gezi? Where are you, civilized world, which declared even police intervention against protesters attacking left and right with all their vandalism to be contrary to freedom of expression? A demonstration or meeting announced to be held in the middle of Paris with permission obtained is being banned. Was this the limit of your freedom of expression? Is it Israel that kills children playing on the beach in their most innocent state?

We take no notice whatsoever, and we no longer buy it.

The civilized world that reduces everything to a detail when it comes to Israel is a partner in, and responsible for, all the massacres Israel has committed, and from now on it has no right to say terrorism, democracy or human rights.
