Gaza Blockade Shows Arabs are a ‘Dead Nation’ Under American Control: Alhayat Aljadeeda, Palestinian Territories

Continuing with our global reaction to last week’s attempt to break Israel’s blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza, and reflecting the never-ending and understandable Palestinian frustration, this article by columnist Fouad Abu Hajla of Alhayat Aljadeeda of the Palestinian Territories expresses embarrassment that rather than Arabs, it took Turks, Greeks and other Europeans to stand up for the besieged Palestinians of Gaza.

For Alhayat Aljadeeda, columnist Fouad Abu Hajla writes in part:

Once again, we’re embarrassed by the Turks, Greeks and Europeans from every country in the world’s only civilized union [the E.U.]. And once again we’ve been wounded by Israel, which has embarrassed us Arabs who believe in peace, the process of seeking peace and the great benefits it would bring.

We’re embarrassed because the Freedom Flotilla should have been Arab – and because breaking the siege of Gaza should be done by Arab hands through the Arab gates and through the border.

We are embarrassed by the Europeans because we haven’t reached their level of clarity – although they have no tribal relationships, marry their unveiled and immodest daughters to overfed men with huge bellies who enjoy huge amounts of foolish entertainment.

Let us acknowledge that we’re a dead nation, trying to restore a better life on streets moved to anger against the historic crime called Israel and regimes that follow American orders. They are all under the control of the Americans, despite their differing flags. While blood has been spilled in the waters of the Mediterranean – it has dried up in the veins of the Arab order.
