few weeks ago, a violent event happened in the Middle East as so often, Israel attacked a ship called for help and humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Gaza Strip. The press condemned the Israeli government's military action, but Jose Maria Aznar in conjunction with other sectors less leftist press has a very different view, maintaining that this ship was a trap against Israel, that the order was put in a dilemma: to receive international condemnation or abdicate their right to security and exposure to a terrorist attack on its territory.
In an ideal world, the assault by Israeli commandos at Marmara Marvi had not resulted in nine deaths and scores wounded. In an ideal world, the soldiers could have been received peacefully, in an ideal world no state, until now an ally of Israel and Turkey, have sponsored and orchestrated a fleet whose sole purpose was to create an impossible situation for Israel, renounce its policy of and locking security or risk the wrath of the world.
denounce alleged "siege mentality" and we refuse to acknowledge that he has lived through the Israeli state in its 62 years of existence has been a "siege reality" denounce the firmness or hardness of Israeli actions, but we refuse to keep in mind that Hezbollah is rearming not only accelerated manner despite the presence of UN troops in southern Lebanon, but their leaders continue with their proclamations in favor of the Jewish state's destruction and Hamas, in the south, does not renounce its goal of ending with the existence of Israel, we tore their clothes for the alleged Israeli siege on the Palestinian people, accusing Israel of becoming a new apartheid system, forgetting that in the Israeli parliament Arab parties are represented, as in other state institutions, we talk about whether the Israeli occupation in Gaza as if they are not. And remember that voluntarily left Gaza in 2005; curse the ground wall separating the West Bank part of Israel, but we recognize that this wall has allowed the Israelis to go out to eat pizza, go to movies or clubs, or send their children to school by bus, without constantly fearing the sacrifice of a suicide bomber.
In the 50's and 60 European left dazzled walked with Israel, where he saw the practical realization of socialism human face, but since Israel resorted to arms to defend themselves against their neighbors, the Left was and remains deeply pacifist, reneged and went on to condemn Israel for doing what any nation at war and under attack would do: defend all their means.
Generation of 68, yet culturally dominant in Europe, was built and remained on the denial of our identity western Atlantic and liberal-conservative. America, NATO, secret services, police, traditional education, religion, the individual, everything came to be repudiated in such a way that our culture, our values, our civilization challenged to move to embrace everything that he could deny it. Refuse.
We have not made much progress, unfortunately. The great defender of the Alliance of Civilizations, Erdogan's Turkey, just off the veil, rejecting western component and allying with radical Islam of Hamas to the Iran of the ayatollahs. It is a bold step because it can not pass without consequences. If anyone was in favor of Turkish accession to the EU, should think twice now. Moreover, we should all think twice if that behavior is a logical and acceptable for a country formally ally within NATO. At least put in forty to Portugal after the revolution carnations.

Refuse. The Israeli army committed a grave mistake to imagine that his soldiers would be greeted peacefully and therefore not taking appropriate measures to prevent some deaths that should never have happened. One can imagine that their husbands will know to draw the appropriate lessons and implications for the future. But the Israeli government did the right thing: to stop the boats reach Gaza.
live in a world where the traditional distinction between regular military and civilians has ceased to exist, despite international conventions continue to believe that this distinction is relevant. It was not in the Balkans, it has not been in Iraq and Afghanistan is not where Taliban do not wear uniforms or distinctive insignia and where ambushes, deception and hiding among innocents are the order of the day. Our troops if they differ, but civilians are not always innocent.
The aim of the fleet was not delivering the goods he was carrying, but the confrontation with Israel, because what I wanted is what has been achieved: the condemnation of Israel. Ero this sentence is not only morally wrong, because it denies Israel's ability to act as any other nation, but is strategically wrong. What is between us and radical Islam Israel is pure and simple. Constrain their freedom is to give a victory to their enemies, the final, are also our enemies. That is Iran which announced its support for a new fleet we should force serious reflection. Israel is not the problem, the problem is not recognizing the true enemies of freedom and prosperity, the enemies of the West.
