Gaza Blockade Shows Arabs are a 'Dead Nation' Under American Control

 

"Let us acknowledge that we're a dead nation, trying to restore a better life on streets moved to anger against the historic crime called Israel and regimes that follow American orders. They are all under the control of the Americans, despite their differing flags."

After a commando raid on a flotilla of ships intent on breaking Israel's three-year blockade of Gaza, the Jewish State is confronting a firestorm of global criticism.

Once again, we're embarrassed by the Turks, Greeks and Europeans from every country in the world's only civilized union [the E.U.]. And once again we've been wounded by Israel, which has embarrassed us Arabs who believe in peace, the process of seeking peace and the great benefits it would bring.

 

Yes - we are also embarrassed because we haven't risen to the level of courage and manhood shown by the Turks [who are not Arabs], although they don't read the poetry of Antara Ibn Shaddad, don't have Abu Zayd Al Hilali, and weren't blessed with tribes and respected clan leaders. What they have is something called self-esteem.

 

We are embarrassed by the Greeks, and haven't risen to their level of wisdom; although they have no oil, are confronting a huge economic crisis and have nothing but a few philosophers who left some books and died!

 

We are embarrassed by the Europeans, because we haven't reached their level of clarity - although they have no tribal relationships, and marry their unveiled and immodest daughters without fanfare, who enjoy huge amounts of foolish entertainment.

But more than anything else, we we're embarrassed because the Freedom Flotilla should have been Arab - and because breaking the siege of Gaza should be done by Arab hands through the Arab gates and through the border.??

Let us acknowledge that we're a dead nation, trying to restore a better life on streets moved to anger against the historic crime called Israel and regimes that follow American orders. They are all under the control of the Americans, despite their differing flags.

 

And let us confess that on our Arab streets, many millions get angry only at the results of Star Academy [a talent show],·or shout their patriotism during football games. It seems that from sea to sea, the Arab world has become a mere playground - for lack of a better term.

 

While blood has been spilled in the waters of the Mediterranean - it has dried up in the veins of the Arab order. We have followed the official Arab reaction and have laughed our socks off.
