A flotilla of six ships with 700 people from 32 different countries, including such well-known public figures such as the Irish Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire, the Swedish author Henning Mankell, European parliamentarians, including three German: the Left MPs Inge Hoeger and Annette Groth and former MP Norman Paech and a Holocaust survivor ... a purely civilian enterprise in favor of the continued siege and still war-torn Gaza, with its 1.5 million pent, the Israeli authorities were informed in advance exactly on the content and composition of transport medical supplies ..., construction materials, wheelchairs, toys and much more, in the morning in international waters by 4 clock by special forces of the Israeli army attacked from helicopters are fighters rappel, from the sea to come armed, there are so far only shaky videos of the disaster:

Result: So far, the number is called out of 20 deaths and 50 to 80 wounded. Accurate not yet known.

Attacks on convoys to Gaza, it had previously been given, but without any media coverage, thank God, even without deaths. What is different this time?

Israel is quite simply crazy? True to the motto: "As allies of tyrants" or is there something else behind it?

I take the liberty to gather the following arguments suggest that this incredible violation of international law, a deliberate provocation was and is to still trigger a Middle East war, when the chances for the Brazilian-Turkish nuclear agreement with Iran are increasingly viewed in the disappearance a few days ago, the action window threatening to so close.

The public act of violence against an international group of human rights activists is now the highest point in a chain of Unliebsamkeiten and increasing deterioration in relations between Israel and Turkey.

In parallel, Israel has suffered some deterioration of its relations with the United States for the first time and finds himself suddenly his previous status as sankrosante Middle East power that stands above the international law, their seemingly everlasting special 'robbed.

"Our relationship [with Israel] will never be the same again", cites the Turkish newspaper Hüriyet a spokesman for the ruling AKP party.

In fact, Turkey had been remarkably preserved the Contenace against Israel, although the latter had the Turkish Premier Erdogan duped incredible: Erdogan, the charismatic new strong man of Europe, had himself committed to a peaceful solution in favor of the Palestinians with Syria and Israel seeks , as yet during the negotiations, Christmas 2008, Israel invaded the Gaza Strip, and ensure that Turkey "let stand" easy and this made it appear almost as a co-perpetrator or accomplice.

Since the end of 2007, during the visit to Turkey by the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, it was tough "indirect" negotiations in which Syria and Israel spoke with Turkey. The negotiations appeared for the first time as an opportunity, with the Palestinians to boost the peace process came to a halt again somehow. Agenda item was the return of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights to Syria in return Syria would loosen its ties to Iran and stop supporting Hamas and Hezbollah in Palestine and Lebanon. In May 2008, the secret negotiations of Turkey made public. Rezep Tayyip Erdogan had brought the whole prestige of resurgent regional power of order. Next, direct negotiations between Syria and Israel had been queuing with Turkey as "honest broker". This would have been an incredible step forward for the deadlock that part of the world. What happened instead, Christmas 2008, we know ...

This insult Erdogan had not forgotten, and since then his debate regarding Israel has become increasingly clear. He had already been made in the past year several times to Israel's nuclear weapons potential that defies international control. (The Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed only by the five nuclear powers USA, Russia, France, the United Kingdom and the People's Republic of China and now of 184 non-nuclear states. Four nuclear nations have not signed, namely, Israel, India, North Korea and Pakistan.)

So Erdogan had, what had previously been considered unthinkable, Israel publicly, provided with Iran and its alleged efforts to get weapons-grade uranium to a level and slightly raised, which has led in many countries to an increasing bitterness: the double standards.

On May 17, now followed the recent significant coup Erdogan, who through his initiatives more and more plays in the first diplomatic league: the Turkish-Brazilian-Iranian uranium agreement .

Then Iran will store 1200 kg of low enriched uranium in Turkey and receives in exchange for 120 kg higher (nearly 20%) enriched uranium for use in its medical research reactor.

The contract will be internationally welcomed almost unanimously, except by the United States and Israel, which now sees itself in the behavior of his "life project" of preemptive strike against Iran, diminished. Erdogan and Lula have - so it may be in the history times, a time window closed - proved that it, therefore, is the negotiation option diplomatic solution. A pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities is nunmher barely employable.

On May 23, reported the Turkish newspaper Zaman, Prime Minister Erdogan has Obama called in a letter to use the explanation of the three states, because "that is indeed the dispute over Iran's nuclear program not yet completed, but it was an important door for a solution opened by diplomatic means. "Erdogan announced in the letter details the uranium Agreement and writes his country would continue efforts to find a solution.

However, instead of walking through the open door of Erdogan and Lula, Washington and Israel call unabated after the sanctions.

Erdogan has something that a great statesman distinguished: courage, diplomatic skill and speed in recognizing negotiation strategies. It probably belongs to the new self-confidence of regional power Turkey that it remains in the Palestinian question on the ball. The Free Gaza flotilla was led by a Turkish vessel.

The Turkish prime minister called yesterday's incident in the early morning hours of May 31 as "state terrorism", Turkey called off joint military exercises with Israel, called for the second time within a short time back its ambassador and ordered the Israeli ambassador to the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

So far, the official Turkey reacted calmly, although she has probably suffered the most deaths and despite lively demonstrations in Istanbul: Diplomatic pressure on the UN, the EU, international organizations are their means; Turkish diplomats would like to see the incident before the International Court of Justice.

The Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Ceviköz said it was against international law, using force against ships that carried humanitarian aid in international waters. "We want to transfer the wounded and cooperation, so that may be treated in Turkey. We also expect that other passengers will be returned immediately to their home countries. We demand an end to this unlawful situation and release the set ships in international waters. "

Absolutely legitimate words. By the German Government on the other hand we hear not a word that they would be used for the detained and imprisoned passengers (including 10 German), they could be injured or dead hard.

Even the exact number of dead is not clear, Israel has imposed a blockade messages. From the Turkish side, however, is concerned that among the casualties, dead and wounded, mostly Turks: The first of the ships, the Mavi Marmara, had 581 passengers, 400 of them are Turks ...

Already voices are heard in Turkey, calling for stronger consequences: Devlet Bahceli, leader of the MHP party (Nationalist Movement).'s Attack on a Turkish-flagged ship was a hostile act "These attacks must not go unanswered one. The government's response should be not only temporarily and on paper. "

What preceded the act of war against the Gaza aid flotilla?

Something you in Israel obviously perceives as "defeat": On the UN Conference on Disarmament in New York showed that it is no longer possible for the middle eastern nuclear power to keep its nuclear program from the headlines and the negotiations. Last Friday had namely the 189 signatories of the contract decided to make the Middle East a nuclear-free zone. Spiegel Online reported on 30.5. under the title: "Israel protested against nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: 'Extremely questionable and hypocritical': Israel has plans of the UN Conference on Disarmament criticized for making the Middle East a nuclear-free zone. Now to give President Obama. "

I quote further: "New York - The Middle East should be a nuclear-free zone: In this requirement, the 189 member states of the NPT to conclude a UN conference in New York agreed. Washington also joined the call to, but with reservations.
Less than 24 hours later showed Israel, the estimates of experts have between 80 and 100 nuclear warheads, should the statement as 'highly questionable and hypocritical' back. Iran is mentioned in the text initiated by Arab countries with no word. Tehran is suspected to strive to build the atomic bomb under the guise of his research program.
The Final Document of Friday evening was preceded by a four-week struggle for the worldwide control of nuclear danger. The negotiations resembled, according to diplomatic circles at times a poker game between Washington and Tehran. The paper adopted unanimously rated by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle as positive.
According to Ban 2012 convened a conference of all Middle East countries to create a nuclear-weapon-free zone in their region. Such a zone was in 1995 for the first time called for in a resolution, but has since been discontinued. Displeased Israel rejected it, to participate in the scheduled conference. 'The Prime Minister will discuss the matter on Tuesday during his visit to Washington with President Obama', it was in Israel's response.
Under pressure from Tehran conference called on Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA. Israel is committed to today not as a nuclear power ... "[Hervorheb. by d. Aut.]

Reminder: Iran signed in 1968 the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which allows civilian use of nuclear energy and the necessary research, including uranium enrichment. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna monitors compliance with the NPT and prepare regular reports on Iran's nuclear program.

Consider all this, one might come to the following conclusions:

Israel sees itself increasingly isolated internationally in terms of its attitude towards Iran and its own nuclear programs. His years of urging faced quite positive on a pre-emptive strike against Iran, the parts of the U.S. political elite that does not bear fruit. The project is opposed:

• The current financial crisis, particularly in the United States to support a "Losschlagens" z. Example of the three supplied by Germany-tipped cruise missile submarines in the Persian Gulf (the whole Iran "cover") may be less likely.
• Emerging economies are gaining influence. You try to contain Israel (containment), currently Brazil, Turkey.
• The emerging regional power Turkey under the conservative-religious Premier Erdogan is proving increasingly dynamic regulatory power, what Israeli interests contrary.
• The Israeli policy and international position is in an acute crisis of credibility.
• Especially Turkey shows with their commitment to peace (indirect negotiations with Syria and Israel) and the current nuclear agreement with Iran that there could be a peaceful negotiation, diplomatic solution to the Palestinian issue and the nuclear issue. Because of the Middle Eastern state has obviously no interest.

If it is in this act of war, therefore, a deliberate provocation, the chaos in the Muslim world and Turkey (most of the dead) should trigger to still another, as a diplomatic "solution" to force?
