Lev Spivak: "There is a mistake in the statement of the press service for the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan"

08 January 2009 [14:53] - TODAY.AZ
I think there is a mistake in the statement of the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry: "Azerbaijan supports efforts of the Palestinian people for establishments of peace and stability in the region and creation of an independent Palestinian state", said head of the institute JC public relations research Lev Spivak, speaking about Israel's actions in Palestine.

He said it seems that the original version proposed: "...supports efforts of Israeli people on establishment of peace and stability in the region, as well as creation of an independent Palestinian state", as this is what Israel has been regularly proposing to its Palestinian neighbor for the past 15 years, while Palestinians do everything possible and impossible (for example, rocketing Israeli electric station, supplying electricity to... Gaza) in order to prevent this.

"The question whether Palestinians really need their state is not rhetoric. And really, who needs that? For right on the second dau following the conclusion of peace with Israel and establishment of the Palestinian state, the world will merely forget about Palestinians. This topic will just sink into oblivion. It is more profitable for Palestinians to present themselves as poor and miserable, begging additional tens of millions of dollars from the donor countries for "existence in the refugee camps", complaint about Israeli blockade and weep about the "humanitarian disaster".

And here we face an absolute theater of absurd. I do not even say that by estimates of European experts, 80% of humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza is in Switzerland, on the personal accounts of Hamas leaders", announced Spivak.

"And now several more words about the so-called Israeli "blocade" of Gaza.

Imagine that EY leaders have sent the following statement to Azerbaijan: "Armenia is an economically blocked country, which suffers from a sharo deficit of energy sources. Women and children are suffering there. Therefore, from now on Azerbaijan will be bound to supply Armenia with energy, gasoline, gas, humanitarian aid and so on". "Wait!- Azerbaijani side will say - We are in a state of war with Armenia, this country has occupied a part of our lands and is firing our borders... We do not care about their humanitarian problems. Armenia borders on Turkey, Iran, Georgia, let them take electricity from there... And transit it from where they want, just not via our country!..."

Azerbaijani side will be right, but don't be surprised if tomorrow CNN will accuse you of blocking Armenia and demand from the world community to impose economic sanctions on Azerbaijan.

Now change this Armenia into Gaza and Azerbaijan to Israel and I am sure that you will get the exact scene of the developments and feel our attitude towards the ongoing events", noted Spivak.
