When you do a good deed to someone it brings good to you; and when you do evil, evil will be your reward. The attack on the Mavi Marmara is the measure of Israeli paranoia. Humanitarian aid is a threat. Generosity is a threat. Compassion is a threat. Friendliness is a threat. Once people have sunk into this paranoid mentality, they can't find a way out. Every offer is seen as a threat. Hence the impossibility of the Palestinians ever doing enough to convince the Israelis they want peace. If the entire Palestinian population drowned itself in the Mediterranean tomorrow, the Israelis would say it was an attempt to wipe them off the map. That the world permits Israel impunity is a measure of the corruption of the international order. Such is the scale of the task before us. We have to change the world order fundamentally to bring even the chance of justice for the oppressed. That is why politicians in the advanced countries who do not speak of thoroughgoing change are not to be trusted. The world order has arisen out of colonialism. The US was built on the genocide of the First People and slavery. Hitler praised the Americans for the slaughter of the native Americans. Our economic system is founded on the delusion that white people have the right to slaughter black people because they stand in the way of "progress". The path of progress is strewn with the bodies of supposedly "lesser" people, including the Jews who Hitler saw as the inferior race of Europe. Such irony that the Zionists use the techniques of their own oppression to oppress the Palestinians. The resistance must come from us, because we have the freedom and the means. The Palestinians don't. Every time they repay violence with violence, the West heaps greater accusation of evil upon them. That's why we must fight with them by peaceful but robust and principled means, and not give an inch until the right of return is granted and they have their own, autonomous State. The oppressors want violence. Deny them
