Another Flotilla?
Following what I would call the ‘Success’ of the Freedom Flotilla, Hezbollah Chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has called for another aid convoy to complete what the Freedom Flotilla had sought out to do – break the maritime siege of Gaza. I was fortunate to catch a live web-stream of the speech over the internet last night.
Israel faced a public relations disaster worldwide after it decided to storm the flotilla with around 100 commando’s firing at unarmed humanitarian activists with live ammunition.
The Hezbollah chief was addressing a huge gathering of thousands and thousands of Lebanese people at an event held in Beirut to remember those who lost their lives on the Freedom Flotilla.
Sayyed Nasrallah praised Turkey’s leadership for the stand they have taken since the attack on the Freedom Flotilla describing the deteriorating ties between Turkey and Israel an “earthquake” for Israel.
Interestingly, following this call by the chief of the Hezbollah last night, there are reports coming in that the Turkish Prime Minister, Rejeb Tayyib Erdogan, has decided to lead another flotilla escorted by the Turkish Navy for its security. If confirmed, this will be a diplomatic nightmare for both Tel Aviv and Washington.
If Israel acts reasonably (which it is not used to), the siege of Gaza shall break – leading to another humiliating public defeat of Israel’s unjust stand after its defeat in 2006 in which it was unable to release its captured soldiers despite a bloody conflict between Lebanon and Israel.
If it acts unreasonably, we not only have a certain possibility of an armed conflict between Israel and Turkey, the world would also be at risk of another (may God Forbid) World War.

you are right, if they handle this flotilla like they did the previous ones, a world war is likely to start.
Besides, its one of qayamat ki nishani that the muslim revolution will erupt from Turkey. And Turkey has certainly started to revolt.
May Allah protect us all. Ameen.

I am impressed with the Turkish stand to say the least. Masha Allah. May Allah grant them the courage to stand firm.
Turkish stance and the leadership role it has stepped into, it is a shame on the *nuclear* state of Pakistan that it keeps watching on from the sidelines!
