FIVE days already dramatic assault by the Israeli army against international humanitarian volunteers who were in the ship Mavi Marmara happen, the international reaction to continue scrolling. Demonstration condemned the repressive measures which killed nine people volunteer in many countries.
Demonstration is no exception occurs in front of the White House. Is a former U.S. ambassador to Mauritinia, Edward Peck who led the demonstration denounced the action, because he had become one of the volunteers who feel the cruelty of the Israeli army.
Israel is considered to act outside the boundaries, because the ship was still in the humanitarian stretcher on the international route. They really are trying to enter the Israeli army's blockade of the Gaza Strip, but have not entered the territory that Israel's unilaterally declared as closed areas. The Israeli army has warned ships excuses for not trying to Mavi Marmara into regional blockade.
Bloody incident was immediately provoke international reaction. The United Nations tried to go to solve this problem. But as usual in politics is not easy to pressure Israel. The Israeli government always have the answers to come out of international pressure.
They argue that the measures they go through is part of self-defense. They must be assertive because humanitarian assistance is an entry point to attack the sovereignty of Israel. They alleged that there was behind the infiltration of humanitarian aid by Iran's military.
Courageous attitude of Israel to deal with international pressure, not apart from the ambivalent attitude of the United States and Europe. Though some Americans criticized the Israeli action and even they too become victims of repressive actions the Israeli army, but on the diplomatic side of both U.S. and European countries do not ever want to blame.
Double standard by the U.S. and Europe this is what often makes a big head of Israel. They never feel afraid to be ostracized and get international sanctions, because all sorts of diplomatic steps would have vetoed the big countries.
This is what we very regrettable. Large states did not attempt part in creating peace in this world. They just fail to prevent violence, which often eventually befall them as well.
Today we see the resurrection of the world community to condemn the Israeli army actions. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan emerged as the leader to push sanctions on Israel.
Appearance of the world desperately need a leader who can mobilize the power of the world. Not for fomenting wars, but rather to create peace. The trick is to punish countries that still use violence in achieving its objective.
Turkey clearly states would bring the case of attacks against ships Mavi Marmara to the International Court of Justice. Turkey should do that because of the nine people killed in Monday's attack was a citizen of Turkey.
Israel must be subject to sanctions so that they do not always repeat the actions that harm other nations. Can not we let every problem solved by violence. Therefore, we believe that acts of violence will surely bear more violence.
Legal steps taken by Turkey is very appropriate because it is the most elegant steps. Let the International Court of Justice to be a party to settle the issue in the UN's inability to become institutions that create world peace.
If Turkey does not take that step, then we are worried about the emergence of counter-action from other countries. We do not cover the eyes of many countries which are grimly against Israeli behavior today. Some of them have the military capability to attack Israel.
Once again, we certainly do not want the emergence of war by the incident in the international waters near Palestine. We, the Indonesian nation, must participate in creating world peace because it is a constitutional command. Steps can we travel is to support Turkey to use the International Court of Justice points to punish Israel.
