91. How much do you know about Turkey's military power?
TheKurd ,   NYC   (06.02.10)
Apparently not much! Research and then you will understand why Turkey is more than a match for powerful country like Israel military-wise.
92. The Kurdish people stands by the Jewish people!

93. Double Wordd Standard
TheKurd ,   NYC   (06.02.10)
When Iranians held hostage Americans years ago, it was the start of arch-animosity between West and Iran. And today, in 2010 Israel bluntly kills unarmed civilians and you guys are still worried about Iran? Are you serious? European Hypocracy at its Climax! If anything, Jewsih State should be scared of Europeans for they are the only ones who killed jews.
94. Turkey Meet With US Before Making Offer
World Citizen ,   the world   (06.02.10)
Not to make light of Turkish diplomacy (they're doing a great job) but this idea could have originated with the Obama administration. And if it did it says alot about the direction the Americaans are moving on the israeli-Palestinian issue. The Jewish lobby is almost all powerful in Aamerica except for when it is trumped by the US military. And the US military has already stated that the Palestinain issue is having a negative effect on their ability to carry out the missions of stabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan. One way or the other, kudos to the people of Turkey and their government. Tis is a bold move on their part.
95. #65 TO BRIAN
OSMAN ,   ANKARA   (06.02.10)
There are a lot of reasons I can count: 1)Pkk is killing people and soldiers. The number 30000 that most of the people accuse us to kill kurds is the death number of my people the people living in Turkey whatever ethnicity they have or regious beliefs there are turks and kurds together) 2)pkk increase his militant number with those kurds who deserve better life standards and education. Whatever comes to humanity is comes because of nescience. And they brainwash those people at their childhood. 3)we, turks, inwardly believe isreal supporting pkk. When I saw the comments of people whole around the world it isn't hard to sense a symphaty or complaisance to pkk. 4)pkk DOES NOT REPRESENTS KURDS 5) Seperation makes turkey less stronger and makes people living in south eastern regions more poorer( 1/3 of people who identifes theirself as kurds living in western). We together lived in these land for ages. We married and shared same culture. Breaking bonds just brings blood, tears and more hatered just happened in Pakistan and India. And they will be tears and blood of turks and kurds NOT OTHERS. Other than those reasons if people have bad thoughts, envy and hostile attitudes I didn't write those lines to influence them. I do not make a desicion like my terrorist is good and yours is bad. World will get close to peace more when the people cuts support and their sypmathy to every terrorists. In addition, we, most of the turks who have some foresight and common sense really think people in gaza suffers from isreali blockade and I think hamas is a terrorist originated party. And people in gaza has no choices other than to join or accept hamas because of Isreali blockade.
96. Bibi is the PM of israel&gaza,,NOT Erdogan!
Seular Beast   (06.02.10)
Both Muslims and leftists accuse Israel of not wanting peace. Truth is always the opposite to what Muslims and leftists say. It is the Hamas and the Muslim coalition that supports it (Turky, Iran, Syria Hezbollah) that want a war, and they want it now. There is no gain for Israel to start a war, but for this coalition there is no better time. This anti Israeli coalition is fully aware that Obama is hostile to Israel. This was clear even before he was elected. However, Obama’s days are numbered. His popularity is sinking faster than Titanic, more people are questioning his legitimacy as the POTUS, polls suggest that 55% of Americans want him to release all his sealed records, and in all likelihood the Democratic Party will be decimated in the coming elections. Therefore, the window of opportunity for the Muslim coalition to launch a war against Israel is only this summer.
97. to #90 TheKurd: you have no highschool education, obviously.
Mark Bernadiner ,   Pearland, TX   (06.02.10)
Even PLO reconizes that West Bank and gaza do not belong to palestinina arabs: Article 24 of the 1964 PLO charter addressed to UN stipulates: Palestinian muslims do not claim Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza their territories”
98. I am bagging up my stuffs for the next flotilla
Sami ,   Lebanon   (06.02.10)
with all kinds of surveillance and video monitoring equipment .See you soon on Al jazeera ,face book and you tube.
99. Israel freed Gaza, Free Kurdistan and accepts Armani genocid
E M Jordan is Pales ,   s.f   (06.02.10)
Beside it is the Turk whom need State of Israel, By the way the fanatic’s regime will not last forever.
100. "normalize"? Very funny indeed
Eron ,   Ramle, Israel   (06.02.10)
Do they mean "normalize" as in "Israel resumes selling high-tech military gear" to them? Keep dreaming! What is "normal"? Like in before or after er_dog_an took over a once thriving, pro-western country and is making it "advance backwards" to the 7th century? And suspend blockade as in "allow even more missiles into Azza"? Dream on, turks. Smoke your pipes...
101. #23
Emre ,   Istanbul   (06.02.10)
Civilization is not a matter of money. It is a matter of humanity and tolerance.You and like you, the nationalists and radicals think that you are civilized but sorry my friend, i have not seen any civilized country which have a government like yours. They are crazy and killing innocents. If you think you are civilized you have to first react them to stop these actions.
102. #27 what else do you want
Emre ,   Istanbul   (06.02.10)
Do you want to be the next king of Turkey :)
103. Blockade maybe making Hamas stronger
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (06.02.10)
Hamas has more weapons now than before the blockade due to tunnels but blockade has forced other groups to work with Hamas to get goods from tunnels. Why is many type of foods, clothing, toys and medical equipment banned in the blockade? is this to punish Gaza people for rocket attacks? I understand weapons, steal and concrete but food?
104. TO:Sami #98
Secular Beast   (06.02.10)
before bagging up your stuff,take a bubble bath coz the mediterranean sea sharks hate the smell of labanese falafal&hamas/houmoss and do us another favour keep hizballah beef SHAWARMA kinves at home .......................!
105. Turkey to normalize
J.K. ,   BrooklynUSA   (06.03.10)
If Turkey will talk to it's new friend,Iran,to order Hamas to free Gilad Shalit,and stop firing qasams on Israel,the blockade will end,the key is in Iran's hand,istead of sending Turkish and international jihadists to Gaza,Turkey should presure Iran.
106. Turkey's Illegal Invasion and Occupied Northern Cyprus!
Joe ,   Scotland UK   (06.03.10)
Turkey, has not moral right to demand that Israel lift its naval blockade of the Hamas terrorist enclave Gaza. Until Turkey ends its illegal occupation of northern Cyprus. It does not have a single moral leg to stand on. It, is a rather ironic state of affairs that this Turkish terrorist(IHH) funded flottila actually set sail from the Turkish illegally occupied northern Cyprus.
