Israeli Fascism, Turkey and Egypt’s Role

Time has Run-out for Fascist Israel in Mideast (Part -71)

Bushdom legacy is too crude to be carried forward by any good US leader. US president Obama, who by continuing with terror war for resources has only carried forward the Bushdom terror policy, seems to have identified the “continued US engagement” in peace talks as a key policy goal, but does not use the language the Zionist fascist regime could understand well.

Mass murders of Muslims by anti-Islamic terrocracies have become the order of the day now. There are two major conflicts in the world today, one related to Palestine and another to Jammu Kashmir. All other issues are also important but they are not as burning as these two are. Thousands and thousands of innocent people have been murdered by the occupying nations, viz., Israel and India,- both claim to be democracies and pretend to be terror victims, but in fact both are best examples of modern terrocracy.  Numberless lives have been sacrificed in both Palestine and Kashmir but the world  legal bodies and major powers just maintain silence on the plight of peoples in these nations- predominantly Muslims and all anti-Islamic nations coordinate their operations and intelligence traps- and hence this deadly silence  abroad. And the resolution of these would to some extent guarantee for the ushering in of world peace starting with regional stability in South Asia and Mideast.

Israelis are the some of the worst criminals around the world, followed only by India.  Palestinians suffer on account of both Israel and Egypt – both have hard blockades to harm the defenseless Palestinians. And both have at times conspired against the Palestinians by using Fatah party its leader Abbas. Although a Muslim nation in Africa, Egypt which is also a close ally of USA, has misbehaved with Palestinians as bad as the Zionists. Egypt, a key US ally, reiterated that it would continue to work for a "just" peace that brings security to all parties in the region.

Fascist Israel does not let the US brokered,“talks” succeed and the half-baked negotiations are at an impasse over the Israeli refusal to cease building settlements in areas wanted by the Palestinians for a future state. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak blamed Israel for the stalemate in peace negotiations with the Palestinians in a speech before a joint session of the Egyptian Parliament's two chambers. Mubarak also warned Israel that the security of its people hinged on peace rather than "occupation or arms."

Palestinians, on their part, do not reunite. The aimless "unity talks" between Fatah and Hamas continue without any light in the tunnel. The Hamas Interior Ministry warned that "Fatah and its leadership will be held responsible for triggering any unrest" in Gaza. The exchanges came after Hamas and Fatah held two rounds of fruitless reconciliation talks in Damascus in September and November, and with little hope of progress in coming months.

Israeli policy of terror cum fanaticism has caused havoc in the lives of innocent Palestinians.  Israeli agencies have succeeded in failing all peace efforts by various sources, including USA, Arab nations, UN and Quartet.  At a recent meet, the Arab diplomats ruled out a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations without a "serious offer" which would ensure their success. They also decided to approach the UN Security Council to seek a resolution against Israel's ongoing settlement building.

Israel is keen to disarm its neighbors and weaken their regimes. The ongoing GST wars in Islamic world also keep the Israeli and Indian terror attacks pursuing their own terror goals in their vicinities. Settlements are considered illegal under international law, although Israel ignores both global outcry and international law. 485,000 settlers occupy lands in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, alongside 2.5 million Palestinians. There are 12 settlements in East Jerusalem and 121 others in the West Bank, covering 40% of the territory. Another 100 settlement "outposts" not authorized by the Israeli government in the West Bank.

Egypt –a  nation that is trying to bring Fatah and Hamas factions together to form a unity government, has maintained diplomatic and economic ties with Israel since they signed a peace accord three decades ago. Egypt as one of mediators in the establishment of Palestine state has a pivotal role, not just proactive one in achieving the key objective of Mideast peace talks. Although Cairo does play a somewhat positive role in diffusing the crisis in Mideast created by Israel, as a major US ally in the region Egypt always takes directions from Washington and acts accordingly. This approach more often than not has landed ill-fated Palestinians into greater trouble. For example when both Egypt and Israel tighten their borders by sealing the blockades, the defenseless Palestinians face graver problems and crueler fate. Even the chief nation in MIdeas5t Saudi Arabia has not been able to influence Cairo in favor of supporting Palestinians as sincerely as the situation demands. The result is sealing of fate of Palestine indefinitely. This cruelty of humanity is unique in the world.

Like Israel and USA, and UK, Egypt also has cool relations with Hamas and announced the opening of the border to allow aid in what it called a humanitarian gesture. The Rafah border crossing in Egypt is the main gateway for Gazans to leave. Egypt has kept it largely shuttered since a devastating Israeli military offensive in early 2009, periodically opening the crossing to allow aid shipments and humanitarian cases to pass through.

The Egyptian president, whose country has a 1979 peace treaty with Israel, also called on the USA and other Mideast peace brokers to "assume their responsibility" to break the stalemate in the peace process, lamenting that international efforts had fallen well short of what was needed. Mubarak's criticism of Israel is not unusual. Relations between Egypt and Israel have been cool for most of the 31 years since they signed their peace treaty. Their differences are mostly over lack of progress toward a regional peace accord.

Recently, Egypt uncovered an Israeli spy ring at home. Egypt has charged an Egyptian businessman and two Israelis with spying for Israel and trying to recruit operatives working for telecoms companies in Egypt, Syria and Lebanon. In August, officials arrested Tarek Abdel Rezek Hussein, the 37-year-old owner of an import-export firm. According to a document shown to reporters by Egyptian state security attorney, Hussein had accepted $37,000 for providing the Israelis with information about Egyptians working in telecommunications companies who could be recruited to spy in Egypt, Syria and Lebanon. The two Israelis were charged in absentia. Egypt’s general prosecutor demanded that all three be sent before an emergency state security criminal court on charges of “spying for Israel and harming the country’s national interests. It was not clear if the charges were also linked to a wave of arrests in Lebanon in the past two years, some of them involving telecom sector employees, over accusations of spying for Israel. Israel’s Foreign Ministry and its embassy in Cairo both had no comment to offer.  

Israeli spy network is one of the most dangerous, involving agents form various countries. Resentment lingers among ordinary Egyptians over Israel’s conflict with the Palestinians, but arrests of people accused of spying for Israel are uncommon. Earlier, in 2007, Egypt had convicted a 31-year-old Egyptian-Canadian dual national of spying for Israel. Three Israelis were charged in absentia. Fanatic Israel dismissed the case as a fabrication. In 1996, Egypt sentenced Azzam, an Israeli Arab textile worker, to 15 years in jail for spying for Israel. Egypt said Azzam had passed messages in women’s underwear using invisible ink. Both Azzam and Israel denied the charges. He was released after serving eight years as part of a deal that included the release of six Egyptian students in Israel.

Worldwide condemnation has been flooding in since Israeli naval terror commandos halted the aid flotilla from Turkey in international waters overnight, killing some nine of the activists and setting off a melee that left dead and dozens wounded. Turkey, an unofficial backer of the flotilla, has led the criticism, accusing Israel of committing a "massacre," and the UN Security Council demanded an impartial investigation. USA and Israel try to divert the global attention form the continuous genocides in Palestine saying that there is a terrorist state in Gaza, under Iranian sponsorship.

Turkey, also a US ally, is also emerging an important mediator in Mideast peace talks. Meanwhile, thousands of pro-Palestinian activists on Dec 27 were welcomed back to Istanbul the ship that was the scene of bloodshed during an Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in May. Activists meanwhile, promised to send more ships in an effort to break the Gaza blockade. In June Israel and Egypt signaled a temporary easing of the Gaza Strip blockade following harsh international condemnation of the deadly Israeli raid on an aid flotilla from Turkey en-route to the sealed-off Palestinian territory. Egypt said it was freely opening its border with Gaza for the first time in more than a year to allow in humanitarian aid, setting off a mad rush to the crossing by thousands of residents. Israel, as usual, strongly rejected criticism that its anti-Palestine tactics were heavy-handed.

There were signs, however, that the long-term strategic partnership between Israel and Turkey — the Jewish state's most important Muslim ally — would not endure. Though refuse to apologize for its inhuman aid attack, Israel was quick to pacify Turkey. Israeli military terror Minister Ehud Barak spoke to his Turkish counterpart, and they agreed the raid wouldn't affect weapons deals. Among them is the planned delivery to Turkey of $183 million in Israeli drones this summer. They were discussing sensitive military ties.
