Culprit visits the ground zero 9/11

Breaking news, news on the first page that Obama, Bush join together for a first at 9/11 ceremony but I bet that souls of those who are gone far away from us must be crying in pain because the culprit was standing  right in front of them and they couldn't do anything, while some dumb heads blaming poor people in caves of Afghanistan, Bush the undoubted culprit and planner of 9/11 visits the ground zero, what a shame, what a disgrace to those who died.

Make a move, demand a new, free and fair investigation for 9/11 rather then blaming poor people for your government's inside job. 

Rest in peace.

Turkey vs. Israel: What Next?

As you all must have heard the statements from head of the states of both countries, Turkey has threatened Israel about challenging it's Gaza Blockade in International court of Justice. Turkey has also threatened Israel that it will send it's navy to the sea and if needed, it will be seen doing some action. Turkish official in an interview to it's national news paper stated that 'Turkish navy will strengthen presence in 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 it's navy to escort aid ships to Palestinians in Gaza'

Where would things go if relationship between both the countries remain 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 hefty rhetoric but no real action taken on either side, or standing face to face against Israel might gives other countries of the region a chance to do same?

Palmer report - Freedom Flotilla

One of the main conclusions of the UN Palmer report is that the Israels naval blockade of Gaza and its enforcement is in accordance with international law.

One of the mantra's of the anti-Israel protesters is that Israels actions to defend itself is against international law. Likewise, when the Flotilla was discussed on this forum, many forumers 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 in order 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 prior to 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.
