    ALPAY AHMED: "UNDER THE SLOGAN OF DEFENDING ITS POPULATION, ISRAEL IS HOLDING A POLICY OF MASS TERMINATION OF CIVILIANS"

    After reading the recent interview of Oqtay Atakhan, regarding events
    in the Gaza strip, one can think that the speaker is not the chairman
    of the Humanist party of Azerbaijan, but a representative of the
    ultra-radical Israeli party "Shas", which is absolutely rejecting
    the interests of Arabians in this region.

    "Historian" Atakhan says in open that "this is an ancient land of
    Jews", implying Gaza, where fierce fights are currently held. Most
    historians, including Jewish scientists, consider that both Jews and
    Arabians lived in this land since ancient. Love to Jews and antipathy
    towards Arabians led this "specialist on genetics" to the conclusion
    that Arabians have a kinship with Armenians and we, Azerbaijanis, with
    Jews. But when we further see his reaction on the events in the region,
    it becomes obvious that the cynicism of this person has no boundaries.

    How can a chairman of the so-called "Humanistic party of Azerbaijan"
    close eyes on the brutal atrocities against civilians in Gaza? How
    can "a humanist" justify termination of families, firing at schools,
    hospitals, kindergartens, where women and children are hiding from air
    offensive, calling it the obliged measures of self-defense by Israel?

    One needs not be a military specialists to see that the aim of
    the Tel-Aviv's policy is not only termination of Hamas, but also
    intimidation of the Arabian population, suppression of the spirit of
    resistance. It is not clear for a person, who "has long been watching
    the conflict" that under the slogan of defending its population,
    Israel is holding a policy of mass termination of civilians?

    I do not support Hamas' policy, but it should be noted for justice
    that on the whole this movement did not violate ceasefire for a
    year. In late December of the last year, denouncing this regime, it
    sent several rockets to Israel, where some people were just slightly
    wounded. But there was an opportunity for resumption of further talks
    for the resolution of this conflict.

    The murder of about 600 people can not be justified referring to the
    need to defend civilians in Israel. Atakhan did not say a word about
    hundreds of killed Arabians, perhaps because of their kinship to
    Armenians. He is far from the concept of Muslim solidarity, for his
    antipathy to Islam as a religion is well known. But when a person,
    who calls himself "a humanist" is indifferent to cruelty towards
    civilians, he can be called no one but a cynic.
