Will Israel’s latest action create new terrorists?

The recent Israeli attack on an aid flotilla to Gaza, has forced Israel into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. I concur with Mr. Amoz Oz (World Famous Israeli Novelist) who says “Israel is turning into South Africa in tImage Courtesy the Guardian Newspaperhe Apartheid days … We will become a pariah state that nobody wants anything to do with.” If that’s what an Israeli has to say what will an Arab have to say?

Such irresponsible, hard-handed and anti-humanity actions by Israel will only bolster the claims of militant Islamic outfits that they are right in their violent ways. This will fill their ranks and make moderate Islamists seem out of touch with reality.

President Obama needs to distance himself from the new Israeli Government and strongly condemn Israel’s actions along with backing  The United nations in it’s call for a full international inquiry into the raid.

On Thursday, Israeli officials rejected that demand in favor of a narrower, internal investigation, news reports said. It’s crucial that the US use it’s close relationship with Israel and make it accept an UN inquiry in order to curtail fundamentalist Islamists from making this incident a rallying cry.
