The Freedom Flotilla

The Freedom Flotilla

When we talk about "Human Rights" no longer enough to mention that we are referring to a phrase that symbolizes and defines a range of adjectives that attempt to identify the high level of awareness that the human race has reached its constant evolution.

Concepts covered by the Universal Law, which attempt to express and preserve the value of the human creature, individual dignity, and natural law that it has, to develop the full potential inherent in them, regardless of their origin, race, status, etc.etc.

Not enough to say that the mere mention of these rights, because humanity has been recording since the events that have marked his wanderings through the centuries, it has not let go of prejudice, of trying to classify castes, to separate strong from the weak, to subdue through the power, to exploit the conquered, to enslave whole nations and massacre, in an irrational struggle, which has had, in most of the time, with the complicity of their own gods.

Although we do not like to mention, although we ashamed to admit it, but we walk proud of the twenty-first century of the Christian era, though we have reached levels that exceed our capacity for wonder in how science and technology, remains with us the ignominious classification of "types of human "humans here, the humans there, those living in the developed world, those who inhabit the third world, the developed and underdeveloped countries, who know everything that happens and those who live and die amid ignored destitution.

That's why, when we found out military action, as occurred in international waters near the Gaza Strip, where Israel's elite troops, and massacred addressed the activists aboard the Flotilla called Freedom, arguing that they were exercising "their right of defense" against potential aggression, suspicion that could carry a course load of weapons to the Palestinian "terrorists".

Who had the ability to view the images broadcast by news agencies, we knew that once again the Israeli arrogance, ignore the indignant protests of the international public opinion in a clear demonstration of indifference, impunity for their actions is guaranteed by its staunchest allies, this time, the Human Rights Council United Nations condemned the attack but did not succeed any penalty, United States, Holland and Italy, prevented this.

I understand that there should be no larger nor Xenophobia Xenophobia girl, any act that is practiced on helpless, because of their race or religion, or for any reason we can wield, is reprehensible and unworthy, has been so tremendous the holocaust of the Jewish people during World War II, as it is practiced daily to the suffering inhabitants of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli army.

When xenophobia and exclusion, when genocidal violence are part of the Scriptures, when the prophets revealing God's word, encourage hatred and contempt for other nations, then, human rights are biased in favor of some and the detriment of others.

Before, the excuse was that wielded had fallen under condemnation by worshiping other gods and, therefore, have fallen into the clutches of sin.

Today, in the XXI century, the justification for razing the nations is that they have weapons of mass destruction, which are part of an axis of evil, or that they are terrorists, if the judge and condemn modern inquisitors, will be invaded, occupied , and put in a long process of purgatory under the tutelage of the dominant nations.

Someone asked me once if I knew what the prayers, the devotees of the Jewish religion said in front of the Wailing Wall, the sacred ruins of the ancient temple of Jerusalem, well, one of the prayers recited is in the Talmud, the Law of Moses, the first five books of the Bible, the text reads:

"When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither goest to take it, and hath cast out before you many nations, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you, and the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee, and thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; not do covenant with them, neither of them will have mercy.

And do not intermarry with them, not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters for your sons.

They will turn away thy son from following Me to serve other gods: and the Lord's anger be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

More so you should do with them, destroy their altars, break their statues, and destroy their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people, more than all the peoples on earth. "

7: Verses 1 to 6

A nation with such a guarantee, it is difficult to exercise tolerance and compassion with those nations that consider your enemy, you need to turn a few pages of the sacred text, to learn the message of the true King of the Jews, called the Prince of Peace, surely if today was again among us, no lack of wood or nails, to re-immolated on the cross.
