"When Israel says that it is just defending itself from aggression,
it is telling a lie", said co-chair of the Social-Democratic Party
of Azerbaijan Araz Alizade.
According to him, it is Israel which is to be blamed for the next
round of tensions in the Gaza strip.
"Israel merely wanted to take revenge for its first biggest defeat in
Lebanon, in order to prove again that Israel is the strongest force
in the Near East", said he.
"However, Israel forgets the simple truth: a state, holding an
aggressive policy, will lose sooner or later, like it was in the case
of the UN invasion of Vietnam and Iraq, USSR invasion of Afghanistan
and like it will be in case of the Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani
lands.
As for the silence or open pro-Israeli position of western countries
in this conflict, he said:
"First, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution on the situation
in the Near East, demanding Israel to stop the offensive.
Moreover, the document demands the immediate opening of access points
to Gaza for the limitless supply of humanitarian aide there. Yet,
the United States have imposed a veto on the UN resolution, aimed to
stop offensive by Israel in the Gaza strip. In the result, under the
veto, the UN security could make the execution of the resolution on
the goodwill ceasefire by Israel and immediate stoppage of offensive
"non-obligatory".
Is it a surprise? No. As is known, money rules the world. Money which
belongs to the Jewish capital, that rules in the United States. That
is why, the biggest superpower as the United States will never condemn
Israel for its actions. Such a support makes Israel more confident
in its actions.
As for the Arabian world, the current events prove that there is no
Arabian or Islamic unity. Each of the Arabian states adheres to its own
interests and therefore, there will never be solidarity among these
countries", said Alizade and added that in the end of this stage of
the Palestinian-Israeli conflict Arabians will feel Israel’s strength,
Palestinian state will not be created, while Israel will further be
so caddish.
