Spencer Tunick famous environment activists organized a naked shoot at the Dead Sea in Israel. Idea was to raise awareness about the depleting levels of Dead Sea. Full article can be read on Green Prophet.
The protest might be a genuine environmental effort but unfortunately it is great irony to a nation built on the dead bodies for thousands of Palestinians. The Israelis are protesting for the plight of the saline sea which has no life but have always been ignoring the real killings.
There are millions of untold and heart breaking stories that needs to be said and heard. There are hundreds such incidents that needs protest if not a naked one. I know a few from Gaza working here in UAE and have not visited their homes for years bcoz of Israel restrictions. Israeli atrocities were always there and Media of both sides have always been telling the stories their way. But this recent Palestinian surge which is spurning out of geopolitical development in the region may take them beyond the levels of protest.
Egypt and Turkey two powerhouses and major allies to US in the region are observing important political shift in its ideology. These are among the few countries in Muslim world that recognizes Israel as a state. This is threatening the Israeli supremacy and its political balance in Middle East. Adding to this problem is America’s failure in recent wars and economic crisis in Europe.
Considering the scenario Palestinian would have chosen this as Ideal time to take the risk that Yasser Arafat once took. They also understand that the US and West will veto their statehood in UN but if some OIC countries accept it, as expected. Then it will be Achilles heals for Israel and certain win for the ruined state.
