Israel planning massive attack on Gaza: Ahmadinejad

(AFP) – 8 hours ago

TEHRAN — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that Iran has precise information that Israel plans to launch a "massive attack" on Gaza in the wake of its deadly raid on an aid flotilla.

"We have precise information it has planned a massive attack against Gaza to make up for its past defeats," Ahmadinejad said in a public speech in the western Iranian city of Ilam that was broadcast live on state television.

"I warn you that if this time you commit a crime against any place, against Gaza, the storm of regional nations' fury will uproot you," he said.

The hardliner, who has repeatedly infuriated the world by his anti-Israeli tirades, also lashed out at countries which he said "backed the Zionist regime."

"This time if you back the crimes of the Zionist regime, the anger of regional nations ... will not just be limited to the borders of Palestine, but will also put on trial you and those who are accomplices in the crime," he said to cheering crowds.

Ahmadinejad criticised Washington for adopting a "weak stance" against Israel for its deadly raid on the Gaza aid flotilla.

"The US government has adopted a very weak and biased position. Instead of condemning, it has spoken vaguely and sought to evade taking a stance," he said, while some European countries had adopted a "good" stand.

On Monday, Israeli commandos raided an aid flotilla in international waters of the Mediterranean headed to Gaza that left at least nine pro-Palestinian activists dead, according to the Israeli army.

The attack on the flotilla has triggered a fresh wave of tirades from Ahmadinejad against Israel.

The animosity between the Islamic republic and the Jewish state has worsened under Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly said Tehran's arch-foe is "doomed to be wiped off the map."

Israel, for its part, has consistently demanded strong action against Iran for pursuing its controversial nuclear programme and has not ruled out a military strike.

It is not Israel to be blamed. Those are the faults of the Islamic World which couldn't achieve to get the same stance and form an Alliance.
Examples like Egypt show what an illusion the Islamic World is. You cannot talk about the Islamic World as one as it isn't one.

Israeli aid boat attack ‘has opened world’s eyes to Gaza’s plight’ - Times OnlineJune 1, 2010

Israeli aid boat attack ‘has opened world’s eyes to Gaza’s plight’

Mahmoud al-Zahar: "These brave people managed to bring more attention to this critical issue then all the efforts before them,"

srael’s botched commando raid has succeeded in doing the one thing that Tel Aviv will have wanted to avoid — drawing attention to the Jewish state’s harsh three-year blockade of Gaza.

Mahmoud al-Zahar, a senior Hamas official in Gaza, said that while the activists did not succeed in reaching their intended port they have at last brought international attention to the Israeli-led blockade.

“These brave people managed to bring more attention to this critical issue then all the efforts before them,” he said.

The more than 10,000 tonnes of aid that the flotilla was attempting to deliver to Gaza will now be reviewed by Israeli authorities, who could then deliver it to Gaza via their own channels. Much is likely to be withheld, and Israel’s military has confirmed that it will stop all future attempts to breach its blockade of Gaza, regardless of the international outcry over yesterday’s violence.

As international criticism of the Israeli response to the flotilla grows, many are focusing their attention on the blockade.

David Cameron, British Prime Minister, has criticised the “heavy loss of life” resulting from Israel’s raid on an aid ship, and has discussed lifting the blockade with Israeli officials.

The UN has called for an impartial investigation into Israel’s handling of situation, and a top UN official has asked that Israel end its “counterproductive” and “unacceptable” blockade.

Oscar Fernandez-Taranco, the UN Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs, said that the world had to examine the origins of the flotilla – the blockade imposed on Gaza when Hamas militants wrested control of the area in 2007.

Israel patrols the coast off Gaza and has enlisted Egypt to control all Gaza’s land crossings. Israeli officials say that the blockade is necessary to prevent Hamas from obtaining supplies that can be used for nefarious purposes, including attacks on Israel.

Palestinians see the blockade as a deliberate attempt to punish Gazans for supporting Hamas, and to try and weaken the Hamas base of power.

Local shopkeepers in Gaza have joked about the goods allowed in – while facial soaps and low-fat yogurt are allowed, coriander and instant coffee are banned as luxury goods. Other items, such as frozen salmon, had never reached Gaza before the blockade but comes in significant quantities now.

Critics say the blockade has not only failed to dislodge Hamas, but has hurt Gaza's poor and made reconstruction virtually impossible after Israel's devastating three-week military offensive in the winter of 2008-2009.

Though entire neighbourhoods were levelled, Israel restricted building supplies – particularly cement – from reaching Gaza. Total supplies crossing the border with Israel have remained at one quarter of pre-blockade levels, according to UN officials.

An additional two boats set sail today to try and reach Gaza, but Israel shows no signs of relenting.

One top Israeli Navy commander told the Jerusalem Post newspaper that Israel would use even more aggressive force in the future to prevent ships from breaking the sea blockade.

"We boarded the ship and were attacked as if it was a war," the officer said. "That will mean that we will have to come prepared in the future as if it was a war."
