Turkey vs. Israel: What Next?
As you all must have heard the statements from the head of the states of both countries, Turkey has threatened Israel about challenging its Gaza Blockade in International Court of Justice. Turkey has also threatened Israel that it will send its navy to the sea, and if needed, it will be seen doing some action. A Turkish official in an interview to its national news paper stated that 'Turkish navy will strengthen presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to stop Israeli 'bullying.'
Things went wrong when nine Turks were killed in an Israeli navy attack on unarmed civilians in a ship (Freedom Flotilla) heading towards Gaza-Palestine. Things were calm until another announcement came up from Turkish Official '' Turkey will send its navy to escort aid ships to Palestinians in Gaza'
Where would things go if the relationship between both the countries remains strained? Will it lead to a military operation or things will settle down like before when the rift between Israel and Turkey was solely a diplomatic one with strong rhetoric, but no real action was taken on either side or standing face to face against Israel might give other countries of the region a chance to do same?

Palmer report - Freedom Flotilla
One of the mantra's of the anti-Israel protesters is that Israel's actions to defend itself are against international law. Likewise, when the Flotilla was discussed on this forum, many farmers showed their severe bigotry against opinions that Israel acted according to international law. Many times they do not know what they talk about and hope that repeating their mantra's enough times mixed with bigotry will give them their racists goals.
Israel does get criticized for using excessive force:
ii. The fundamental principle of the freedom of navigation on the high seas is subject to only certain limited exceptions under international law. Israel faces a real threat to its security from militant groups in Gaza. The naval blockade was imposed as a legitimate security measure to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law.
iv. Although people are entitled to express their political views, the flotilla acted recklessly in attempting to breach the naval blockade.
vi. Israel’s decision to board the vessels with such substantial force at a great distance from the blockade zone and with no final warning immediately before the boarding was excessive and unreasonable
vii. Israeli Defense Forces personnel faced significant, organized and violent resistance from a group of passengers when they boarded the Mavi Marmara requiring them to use force for their own protection. Three soldiers were captured, mistreated, and placed at risk by those passengers. Several others were wounded.

The Real Libya - Another nations falls to the Zionists!
The US, NATO and the UN have been and are in the business of destroying nations.
Libya had sustained more then 10 years of crushing sanctions and still managed to improve the quality of life for Libyans by magnitudes with free health care, free school th...rough all college levels, interest-free loans, yearly stipends related to an enormous (30 billion dollar) trade surplus, one of the lowest crime rates and lowest homeless rates in Africa with free housing for all Libyans. Indeed, their overall civilian incarceration rate for crime, as compared to that of the US, is nearly non-existent.
FREE Health Care:
When the needed care wasn't available in Libya the Libyan citizens were afforded transportation and certain expenses to receive care elsewhere, for example Saudi Arabia or Egypt among other countries.
IMAGINE what totally free health care for all people could be like if it were run properly.
FREE School:
Libya provided free school, plus assistance with related costs from early education through advanced pursuits such as a Masters Degree or a PhD.
IMAGINE what totally free schooling could have meant for each of us had we had a properly managed unbiased public school system that taught the truth.
FREE Loans:
Libya provided interest-free loans to qualifying citizens for up to 200,000 dollars US. As a 23 year-old, with a small loan, I could have pursued my interest in building 40-55 foot sail boats.
IMAGINE what an interest-free loan would mean for the economy if civilians had all of the interest they paid to banks yearly to instead spend into the economy.
FREE Yearly Stipends:
Based on a 30 billion dollar yearly trade surplus that amounts to between 5,000 and 7,500 dollars per person minus distribution expenses and while this was never done it was being considered and the population had benefited previously from 500 dollar US yearly stipends.
NO HOMELESS:
Means the 100 or so laws passed to deal with homelessness from loitering to trespassing and homeless specific laws such as sleeping in parks or on park benches would be needless and you or I could feel free to sleep in the park if we wanted to.
CRIME-FREE
With 9 executions in 2010 and 9,763 total prisoners (27% foreigners) and 62.6% of those are pre-trial detainees Libya was one of the worlds safest nations. I like to examine "Crude Death Rate" because this is a death rate that includes everything. Random murders, diseases, old age and everything else. The Crude Death Rate in the US is 8.25 per 1,000 people, slightly less then the 8.90 for Bosnia-Herzogovina or not much less then the 8.00 rate in Puerto Rico. Libya comes in at 4.06 which is at the top of the list. There are 195 countries listed. Libya is No. 10. The US is No. 101.
Our population is 60 times that of Libya. Do we have 60 times the number of people incarcerated? To have 60 times the number of people incarcerated as Libya does we would have to have 585,780 people in prison but we don't. We have two million prisoners. That's almost 240 times as many prisoners with 60 times the population. An interesting statistic.
FREE Housing:
Libyans were all afforded the option of participating in a free housing program operated by the government. I can't imagine the US government even entertaining such a thing.
In spite of immensely frustrating and crippling sanctions Libya became water and food independent with both clean and chemical-free water and GMO free foods. Gaddafi was entertaining sharing that 30 billion dollar yearly trade surplus with the civilian population.
Gaddafi was calling for a return to a gold backed economy and the use of a gold backed African/Middle Eastern Dinar. The dinar would eventually replace the dollar as the global currency of choice for petroleum purchases.
Libya is being punished for creating a social structure FAR BETTER then the one we have here in the US, a banking structure FAR BETTER then what we have here in the US and for threatening to show the US civilian population that there are other ways and they're often better and Libya did so under severe western sanctions.
A careful, true, honest examination of Libya for the last 40 years makes this abundantly clear.
IMAGINE where Libya would be today had there been no sanctions at all.

Elysian Project - An Idea to heal the world.
We will have a contingency fund for emergency relief - for example, if there is a natural disaster like in Pakistan, Haiti, Japan etc. We will also utilise this contingency budget for times of war where organisations may need money for relief efforts or for when a family is in desperate need. If some bastard soldier in Kashmir or Palestine destroys a home and makes a family homeless - we can throw a little money to bring short term stability to that family until such time we can work out a proper solution for their long term future.
The main focus of the Charity is one of Self Sufficiency! Where we focus on eliminating poverty by enabling the people to help themselves. Facilitators if you will.
So, if a family is poor and we can help put a child through education rather than have that child in a sweatshop working, we will endeavor to do that - this way that child can grow up with prospects, get a job and help support his family.
We will look into setting up small business for families - perhaps a shop, or buy them a sewing machine so they can do some tailoring, maybe even buy a piece of farming equipment to make life easier or productivity less wasteful -
When we set up these businesses - we guide them by keeping a foot hold in the business - make sure that the business grows and we educate them on book keeping and business development -
We then keep a stake in the business - say 10% - we use that 10% to to inject cash back into the charity so that others may be helped.
We can open up the charity to ideas - so young people can come to us with a business plan - we will look at their plan and if we believe it is going to be successful; we will assist them morally, intellectually and financially to make their business a viable source of income - we keep 10% and we re invest in someone else.
OR – WE INVEST THE 10% INTO THEIR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION
Not only does this get people working; It gives them dignity as they are not relying on hand outs; It makes them no longer dependent on the Charity; but it generates an income for the charity which can be used to help other in similar need - It also brings the people we help into the charity and gives them the opportunity to help others.
Once we do this in places like Kashmir, In Palestine, In Bangladesh etc. - we can go to other countries and do the same there - eventually there will be a network of people who own business as a result of the charity helping many others with their 15%.
One final thing - The charity is also a propaganda tool! Not a single Muslim charity helps non Muslims - yet many Christian Charities help Muslim people .
Our organisation will not discriminate - If there is a natural disaster in Haiti or anywhere and we can help women and children from death and starvation; we will work with all organisation to assist. This will suddenly bring us into a prominent position as we will be setting a trend for Muslim charities - showing them that as Muslims, we should help all if we can. It will also stop all the people who say 'what Muslim charity helps non Muslims then' from criticising Muslims and Islam as uncaring.
We will start off small – helping local people in Kashmir, Pakistan, Palestine and Bangladesh – As the charity grows, we and our remit grows with it – we want to become global – to help all people in need and to show people that Islam will help them, Muslims will help them – We may change the perception of Muslims around by our work.

Why is Europe so peaceful ?
I've come across several theories so I'll say a few here. Please tell me what you think!
European Union
There haven't been any international wars within the borders of the EU, which was one of the main aims of the early union in the first place. The theory was that free trade of steel and coal (vital for waging war) between France and Germany would make a war between them impossible. Some argue that the EU encouraged the development of democracy in Spain, Portugal and Greece.
Democracy
The argument is that democratic countries don't tend to go to war, so the spread of democracy has made war less likely.
Global Capitalism
As multinational corporations spread across borders, a war (supposedly) becomes economically destructive for both countries. Capitalism makes countries interdependent.
Decline in ethnic nationalism
Racism and ethnic-nationalism have become much less acceptable, probably because of the destruction caused by racist nationalism in the world wars.
Success of ethnic nationalism
European wars ended with borders based on ethnic lines - lots of small countries instead of large multiethnic countries. With stable borders and low levels of ethnic diversity within them, the continent was at peace. (Yugoslavia and USSR failed as multiethnic states.)
Pax Americana
American military domination of NATO and political influence makes war between its allies unlikely. Aging populations Low fertility rates cause populations to age, and older people are less inclined towards violence. Economic pressures force young people into the market, out of the army.
Any more? :D

Priorities - Family vs. Country
In the movies and TV series, we always see the heroes facing the dilemma of choosing between their families and their country.
The most famous example that comes to my mind right now is Jack BauerBauer. This psycho agent can do unimaginable, impossible things out of duty to his country and nation. Then the bad guys take his family hostage and "Puff" the hero starts shooting at federal agents to save his family.
So what's priority? If you found yourself in an impossible situation of choosing between your family and your country, which one would you choose?
Family first, or country first?
Personally I'd choose family, provided they are not doing something bad.
For example if they are conspiring to hurt other people, especially my own countrymen then I won't choose my family over my country. In that case, the feeling of doing what's right will outrank my love for the family.
But if there's an imminent danger against my country and my family, I'd see that my family is safe first. I give allegiance to a country to get security, livelihood and happiness in return. There is no point in serving your country, if you are going to sacrifice that
