Where truth, reason and justice are lost on us humans, a state of paranoia lies and inhumanity begins to thrive and many serious errors are committed. Take the recent behaviour of Israel towards the aid flotilla heading for the Gaza part of the Palestinian state. Armed commandos boarded the lead ship in the middle of the night, in international waters, and in the ensuing engagement 9 of the ships crew were killed. The aid flotilla never made it to the poor people of Gaza, intercepted and diverted by a paranoid Israel who belived it was carrying arms.
It is past the time when the international community should say to Israel, Enough, Cease, Desist. There are reasonable people within the state of Israel, who recognise that the direction Israel is now heading is to a state of alienation, where it will have lost sight of its own humanity. It is not that long ago that the Jews of Europe were nearly wiped out by an inhumane and evil force, it is strange and perverse that the same people who were so cruelly ethnically cleansed, should be perpetrating the same fate on the poor people of Gaza. These reasonable voices within Israel should make themselves heard and the internatioal community should enforce a total boycott on Israeli goods until such time as the extremists of that state are no longer dictating the course of history.
