Where is the Turkish flotilla for Syria?

Perhaps Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and the Arab countries have forgotten that Syria is not landlocked. It has ports - like this one at Tartus - and its people are starving and badly beaten. But there are no flotillas heading for Tartus or Latakia or any other Syrian port. Farid Ghadry is quite angry about that.

Then comes Erdogan who thinks Gaza is tragic with its people under siege and tyranny while Syrians, under his buddy Assad, enjoy comfort and freedom. Where is your humanitarian flotilla to Syria Erdogan? Our injured, attacked by the snipers of your dear friend Assad, cannot go to hospitals for fear of being either killed on the spot or arrested to die under torture. Or does that not fit with your understanding of what a human tragedy is?

Are Gazans better people than Syrians? Is Assad too dear a friend for you to bother?

And where are the Hamas Palestinians who seem to forget everyone else’s tragedy except their own? Where are their voices? Never expect Syrians to come to your aid again. When elections come, we will make the MB in Syria pay for your silence.

And where is King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia? What kind of leader is governing over Makah and Medina who is afraid of his own shadow? Where are the young tiger Princes of al-Saud to overthrow everyone over 80 who clings to power like a sick patient clings to oxygen? Have you become too comfortable for your own good? Wake-up Bandar bin Sultan. This is your time.

Where are all the Arab leaders and the Arab League? The cowards hosting dinners to celebrate their fat bank accounts while our people die in front of their eyes?

Ghadry and Syria are learning the hard way what we here in Israel figured out long ago. No one cares when Arabs kill Arabs. They only care when Jews kill Arabs. In fact, when Jews kill Arabs, the World even takes military operations and turns them into attacks on civilians.

But Arabs killing Arabs? Unfortunately, for most of the World, there's nothing to see here.
