For quite some time, I had been seeing billboards everywhere in Istanbul saying "Our route: Palestine, Our load: Humanity".
I had heard about the organisation that was collecting aid and I thought they were just trying to screw people like the other islamist aid(!?) organisations. Recently, they started to appear on TV saying that they will end the blockade on Gaza and go there directly.
Israeli response was not late and they said they would not allow a direct aid flotilla and asked the flotilla to first stop at Ashdod Port. Their only aim was to detect the aid to see if it included any material that would be used by Hamas. They assured that the aid would reach Gaza after inspection. They also added that they would use force if the flotilla tried to go without inspection.
At this point, it becomes clear that the aim was not to help people in Gaza strip but create tension. Even when the Israeli forces warned the IHH, they changed route and came back in the morning to get more publicity for what they have done.
When the Israeli Forces tried to board the ship, the aid workers responded by firing their pistols. Of course the Israeli Forces were wrong in attacking the flotilla on international waters but this act clearly showed that the aim was something else; to create tension between Turkey and Israel. That's what our government had been trying to do anyway.
As a result of these, the most terrible thing is that our long friendship with Jews has taken another punch.
One thing that should not be forgotten is ; Weekly aid given to Gaza by Israel: 17000 tones. The aid brought by IHH: 10000 tones. Even this shows that IHH's only aim is to create problems in the area. Well, they got it!
Another thing to add; Rich Arab countries seem to be doing fuck all about the issue and the situation in Gaza. If they cared about the welfare of other Arab countries, they would go and send aid to the area. Egypt has borders with the area. Just keep our country out of the fucking matter.
Arabs are not friends of Turks. This is not a matter of humanity. If you consider this to be a matter of brotherhood between Muslims, you have another thing coming!
If you want to have a look at the relationship between Hamas and IHH;

As a Turk, I believe that if another country tried to help terrorists in my country or send aid through them, I would want our army to fight them off.
Peki, çok güzel açıklamışsın da, şimdi tüm bunlar İsrail'in yaptığını haklı çıkarıyor mu sence? Gerçi demişsin, yanlış yaptılar diye ama bu noktadan sonra Türkiye'den yapmasını beklediğin nedir o zaman? Oyuna gelmeyelim diye susmak mı gerekiyor?
ReplyDeleteNeyse cevap yazmasan da olur ama fikirlerimi paylaşmak istedim. :)
Türkiye'yi zor duruma sokan şey islamcı bir grubun sorumsuzca ve inat ederek bu durumu yaratması. Buna çanak tutan hükümet ülkeyi savaşla burun buruna getirdi. İsrail'in yaptıpını haklı çıkarmıyor elbette. Ancak bu yardımı götürdüklerini iddia eden kişilerde haklı değiller. Mağduru oynamasınlar. Tek istedikleri "İsrail bize saldırsa da propagandamızı yapsak" düşüncesini hayata geçirmekti. Becerdiler.
