Israeli heinous actions - some thoughts

I don't find much condemnation for Israeli actions from our authorities. By our I mean, both Muslim authorities, and Pakistani authorities. Pakistani authorities seem to think that a simple condemn statement is fine and well, while the rest of the ummah generally don't even bother doing that. It's a desperate situation where we have proved ourselves SO dead that we don't raise a PEEP about our own people dying (and in this latest case, everybody was a civilian and unarmed). Now, there may be an outcry from different corners of the world, but the countries which hold resources and whose ''embargo'' would have caused some serious effects, remains... in effective, flacid and corpse-like. The latest attack on the flotilla cannot be justified by any angle. One can't say that those 600 people were carrying wheelchairs with dynamites stuffing or something. Those were perfectly ordinary people, who had been determined to help out a severly economically crippled Palestine and that's their crime which got them killed and injured.

US blogger Glenn Greenwald gives his take on the attack here. He writes:

It hardly seemed possible for Israel -- after its brutal devastation of Gaza and its ongoing blockade -- to engage in more heinous and repugnant crimes. But by attacking a flotilla in international waters carrying humanitarian aid, and slaughtering at least 10 people, Israel has managed to do exactly that. If Israel's goal were to provoke as much disgust and contempt for it as possible, it's hard to imagine how it could be doing a better job.

He adds:

The one silver lining from these incidents is that the real face of Israel becomes increasingly revealed and undeniable. Not even the most intense propaganda systems can prettify a lethal military attack on ships carrying civilians and humanitarian aid to people living in some of the most wretched and tragic conditions anywhere in the world. It is crystal clear to anyone who looks what Israel has become, and the only question left is how will the rest of the world -- beginning with their American patrons -- will react.
