The moral power and power over morals
10th of July 2011

Dr.John Hayek

The peaceful gathering of supporters of the palestinian cause from all over the world at the Ben Gurion airport in Israel is encountered by all means of suppression by the Israeli authorities and police including physical power, detention and prohibition of free opinion. Citizens of western countries, who have the right to enter Israel are sent back against international laws and agreements. Those who are afraid of moral power react like this. It is the fear of Israel and its bancrupcy of arguments against the voice of civil rights and something haunting Zionism since its occupation of Palestine, the name Palestine itself ! all their claims stop at this point and they have no answer but refusal , denying, asking repeatidly for recognition of the right of their existence  and blackmailing with the accusation of anti-Semitism against those who don't go along with them. It would have been much easier for them to direct their measurements against "terrorists and suicide bombers", but none of them is around in this case , so they use power anyway , because if they wanted or not , they live on military force and occupation , supported by misleading the public opinion. What the hell all this will lead to ? repeating the lie again and again wouldn't make it true and less of that by threatening and blackmailing. All such structures will once fall apart, and it is only a matter of time. Look at Murdoch, how powerful and influential he was , how rich and  immensely in controle of so many newspapers and other media, and he is also a flamboyant supporter of Israel and the tee parties and now he stands dismantled in front of the world because his empire was not built on morals and ethical principles but on accumulating power for his purposes and to use it to controle people and their leaders. He is facing now decline and disaster and all his money might not help because nobody would be comfortable sitting in the same boat with him. Israels fate will be the same, when it keeps exaggerating in it's behaviour and insisting on  it's lies and injustice in Palestine. Force may have a long breath , for years , may be some generations, but morals have definitely the longer one. All that it needs is to never give up and never subside to force and keep moral and spirits high, no matter what time it may take. People of high morals and spirits will keep coming to Gaza and Palestine till the cause of justice prevails. And they know it will! People want real peace, not a false one built on tricks and lies and promises never to be fulfilled. A peace that deserves it's name and not a merchandise to be sold and bought again and again regardless of the destiny of human beings. Those are heroes who fight for real peace and cowards who take the cheap one at first chance.
