The murder of the Vatican’s representative in Turkey will not affect dialogue with Islam, Pope Benedict
XVI said Friday as he travelled to Cyprus for a meeting with Middle Eastern bishops ahead of a synod

Chapter: Korach
The pope said the death of Msgr Luigi Padovese, stabbed by his Turkish driver Thursday, “must not in
any way overshadow the dialogue with Islam”. Haftara: Numbers 16:1 - 16:13

“One thing is sure, it was not a political or religious assassination”. Holidays

Upcoming date: Tzom Tammuz

The driver, 26-year-old Murat Altun, was being treated for psychiatric problems and reportedly told will come on Tuesday

63, Apostolic Vicar of Anatolia, was the second Catholic priest to be murdered in Turkey in recent years 17 Tammuz 5770
after Father Andrea Santoro in 2006.

“Naturally I am deeply pained by the death of Msgr Padovese, who also contributed a great deal to the Galgalatz radio live stream
preparation of the synod and would have been a precious element (in the talks in Cyprus),” said the
pope, who earlier Friday received a message of condolence from Turkish President Abdullah Gul.

Referring to the synod in the Vatican on October 10-24, the pope voiced the hope it would boost both
dialogue among Christians and “our common capacity for dialogue with Islam”.

Muslims “are our brothers, despite our differences,” he said.

Caroline Glick does a brilliant job of taking

stock of where Israel finds itself today and what strategies it ought to adopt to cope with the next
two and a half years (at least) of dealing with a hostile government in Washington.
For decades two things limited the salience of Jew hatred as a political force in
the Muslim world. First, Israel’s reputation as a regional power deterred Arab
states from attacking it. And second, the US’s Middle East policy of rewarding
states that lived at peace with Israel and spurning those that did not made
attacking Israel a less attractive option for most Muslim states. The likes of Iran
and Syria were punished for their support for terrorism and their refusal to make
peace with Israel. Then too, Turkey’s rise in prominence in the US in the 1990s
owed a great deal to its close strategic ties with Israel.

Israel’s reputation as a regional power was diminished by its 2000 withdrawal

http://paraisrael.com/?doing_wp_cron[6.6.2010 14:13:46]
Hija del Zion para Israel – Daughter of Zion for Israel | Israel, Zionism, Judaism – Fight Terrorism – Support Israel

from south Lebanon and its less than stellar performances in the 2006 war.

As for the US, in the year and a half since Obama took office he has
fundamentally restructured US foreign policy in a manner that rewards US
enemies at the expense of US allies. From Honduras and Colombia to Britain,
Poland, and the Czech Republic, to Japan and India to Israel, Iraq and
Afghanistan, Obama has treated US allies with contempt and hostility. At the
same time, his repeated bids to woo US adversaries have rewarded the leaders of
Iran, Venezuela, Russia and others for their aggression.

THIS BRINGS US to Israel’s current quandary about how to respond to the

international campaign against it. Israel of course can do nothing to change the
potency of Jew hatred in the Islamic world. It can also do nothing to change
American behavior. For as long as Obama is president, US foreign policy can be
expected to remain on its current trajectory. That is, for at least the next two and
a half years, the US will continue to play a destabilizing and hostile role in the
region.

What this means is that Israel should adopt a strategy that minimizes the
international lynch mob’s ability to get close to it and maximizes Israel’s ability to
knock the mob off balance.

Take for instance the UN Security Council call for an independent investigation of
the Mavi Marmara incident. Israel rightly rejected such a UN inquiry
understanding that its aim is to diminish Israel’s sovereign right to self defense.
On the other hand, on Thursday morning Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman Friends
offered that Israel could establish its own judicial inquiry and that there was no
reason for international investigators not to be members of the Israeli committee.

This idea is ill-advised for two reasons. First by its very nature, a judicial inquiry
would place Israel in the role of criminal defendant. And second, given the nature
of the international assault on Israel, no international observers or investigators
can be given any role in investigating the Mavi Marmara episode.

In contrast, Israel could benefit from a domestic investigation of the operational

and diplomatic aspects of its handling of the Turkish-Hamas flotilla. It is in these
areas – rather than the legal areas – that Israel has failed and must learn the
lessons of those failures. Moreover, appointing a committee would buy Israel
time in the face of the anti-Israel campaign now sweeping the globe.

And as to that campaign, it is time for Israel to launch a counter-offensive. Its

representatives at the UN should demand an investigation into Turkey’s illegal
sponsorship of the pro-Hamas flotilla. They should raise such protests at every
UN forum and continue to protest until they are thrown out of the meetings and
then return, the next day to relaunch their protests.

The Justice Ministry should issue international arrest warrants against the
flotilla’s organizers and participants and prepare indictments against them for

http://paraisrael.com/?doing_wp_cron[6.6.2010 14:13:46]

trial in Israeli courts. Israel’s embassies throughout the world should call for their
host governments to outlaw organizations involved in the Gaza flotilla movement.

No, these Israeli efforts will not change anyone’s vote in any UN forum. But they
will place these wholly corrupt institutions on the defensive. For decades Israel
has taken for granted that the UN is hopelessly hostile and left things at that.
Israel’s willingness to declare defeat has emboldened UN officials. By putting
them on the defensive, Israel will force them to devote time to staving off Israeli
attacks and so have less time available for initiating new assaults against Israel.

Read the whole thing.

Israel flotilla raid needs international inquiry, 0

says UN chief
Posted on ‫( כ"ד בסיון ה'תש"ע‬Jun, 06. 2010) by Harriet Sherwood, Adam Gabbatt.

Ban Ki-moon suggests panel made up of many states to discover what happened, according to
Netanyahu aide

The UN secretary general has called for a multinational investigation of Israel’s raid on the Gaza-bound
aid flotilla that left nine dead, an Israeli official said today.

Ban Ki-moon has proposed the inquiry could be headed by the former New Zealand prime minister
Geoffrey Palmer and include representatives from Turkey – under whose flag many of the ships in the
aid convoy sailed

– Israel and the US, an official from Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s office said.

Ban’s proposal came after Israel risked a fresh wave of international condemnation yesterday by
detaining a boat carrying humanitarian aid attempting to break the blockade of Gaza and forcibly
diverting it to the port of Ashdod. Israel has said that most of those aboard the MV Rachel Corrie will
be deported today.

Ban discussed his proposal for an investigation into the first raid with Netanyahu yesterday, the Israeli
official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.

Netanyahu plans to convene senior cabinet ministers today to decide whether Israel should take part.
Israeli leaders have spoken publicly about setting up an internal inquiry with foreign observers into the
interception of the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara last week.

A statement on the UN’s website said Ban held telephone discussions with the prime ministers of
Turkey and Israel on “options for moving forward with the investigation called for by the United Nations
security council”. Last week, the council called for a “prompt, impartial, credible and transparent
investigation”.

Five days after the botched assault on a six-boat flotilla ended with Israeli troops shooting dead eight
Turkish activists and one US citizen, naval commandos boarded the MV Rachel Corrie in international
waters about 20 miles from the coast of Gaza.

http://paraisrael.com/?doing_wp_cron[6.6.2010 14:13:46]
Hija del Zion para Israel – Daughter of Zion for Israel | Israel, Zionism, Judaism – Fight Terrorism – Support Israel

Yesterday’s operation was mounted despite growing calls for Israel to ease significantly its siege of
Gaza. The US, Israel’s staunchest ally, pointedly repeated that the blockade was “unsustainable and
must be changed” – a call Netanyahu again rejected. Israel said it had met no resistance in stopping
the 1,200-tonne Rachel Corrie.

However, Greta Berlin of the Free Gaza Movement, an organisation behind the flotilla, said passengers
and crew had four times refused to accede to Israeli demands to voluntarily divert to Ashdod, resulting
in the raid.

“There’s no way that 20 people are going to resist a fully-armed force,” she said. “The fact that Israel
boarded a civilian boat in international waters is a violent act.”

She expected that the 11 passengers – including the Nobel peace laureate Máiread Corrigan – and
nine crew would be treated “with kid gloves. The world is watching”. There had been no contact with
the boat since early yesterday, she added.

Tomorrow, Britain will say £19m in aid will be given to refugees in Gaza. The money, to be spent on
healthcare, education and other services, will be announced by the international development
secretary, Andrew Mitchell. It will go to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), on which about

Mavi Marmara was repatriated. It coincided with a warning from the UN’s commissioner for human

civilians,” Pillay said.
