First THere were NO activist from Erdogan's Party AKP, Second They were older than AKP and There is no relation with AKP or Erdogan Only a few Political figures among Activisit were from a Muslim party opposing Erdogan's policies Last There is no such US demand or US newspapers requesting Inquiry regading IHH It is totaly fabricated lie from Israel USA WANTs GAZA SIEGE LIFTED Only relation you may discover about PM ERDOGAN IS USA it seems PM Erdogan is doing a USA written Scenario and played his role according to script given to him from Obama

6. Erdogan not stupid
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.06.10)
No doubt Erdogan is a fanatic who hates Jews, but he is not stupid. He knows that Turkey never had a chance to enter the EU, a purely Christian organization. Erdogan knows that after Israel falls, Turkey will be the next target for the Saudi funded "human rights activists". Erdogan saw how Obama humiliates, insults and incites against Israel, how Obama is afraid of the Iranians and how Obama respects the Syrians despite the occupation of Lebanon. He probably figures that after Obama and the Saudis destroy Israel, Turkey's only hope against American and Saudi imperialism is an alliance with a nuclear Iran. Sadly, Israeli leaders are not clever enough to do the same.

To Tayfun_Turkey ,   (06.06.10)
And meet with Sudan PM though he is reposnobile for killing many people?
9. to Tayfun, I know it's useless, but try to think logically
I.T. ,   Israel   (06.06.10)
If any conscious body or person wished to help Gaza and transfer some 10-15 tons of goos (approved by Israel, of course), he would rent a shipment that would cost about 15,000$. Adding some supervisors would cost another 100$ per day per person. But this time they BOUGHT a cruise ship for 800,000$, added 5 boats, took 700(!) men, some of them armed(!). Only the annual maintenance of Mavi Marmara costs more than simple load shipment. All this says that "helping Gaza" was not a real purpose for whoever organized this sailing. IHH does not care about Gaza (neither do you). All you want is to humiliate Israel, to provoke us to use force (and yes, we will use force). Your PM Erdogan, regretfully for Turkey, has been ruining every good piece of what Ataturk was dreaming about. In the end, by price of winning the next elections, you will lose your membership in NATO, break your business relations with Europe (leave Israel aside) etc. And all that for what? So that Mr Erdogan would beat the charismatic Ahmedinejad and be considered (in his own eyes at least) as THE LEADER of the Middle East. Come on, for God's sake.
10. #4-"IHH is humanitarian group"
Shai ,   Israel   (06.06.10)

Israel Forever ,   Israel   (06.06.10)
First of all, Israel will not fall. Are you suggesting that Israel makes an alliance with Iran ?? HUH.
15. A marriage made in (Islamic) heaven
jiacomino ,   huddersfield UK   (06.06.10)
Iran needs a strong ally ,Turkey needs the bomb.Result:- the new Islamic Ottoman Empire,in which Israel does not exist. The time,,2012.Israel,get ready . No more fiascos, get a new boss for Mossad.
16. To #6: You are so right!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.06.10)
Our "Leaders" and politicians who only look after themselves should remember: "Its good to be right! But its better to be wise"! How many times are we going to fall into the Arab/Muslim trap before we learn?

Birdi ,   Israel   (06.06.10)
Poor brainwased Tayfun believes this utter garbage. Your Erdogan is up to his eyeballs in supportingr the terrorists. IHH is a terror organization hiding behind a few dopey idiots. Pity you are so very blind & naive.
20. This turkey is iran's new puppet

sercan ,   Turkey   (06.06.10)
Erdogan is playing big but he will drown next election of Turkey, then we will have good relationship with Israel
22. Slaughtering peaceful demonstrators in iran?Nice joke!
Hooman ,   Tehran-Iran   (06.06.10)
I didn't see anything like that in iran. We did not open fire on peaceful protesters. And yes,we do value human life. The elections were held and Mr Ahmadinejad won a land slide victory.

Duchess, thanks & Bless you for this link.
24. Turkey rootless state- go back to Central Asia
nadav ,   tlv   (06.06.10)
The Turks pillaged, murdered, raped, and occupied Greek, Armenian, Persian, Arab, Jewish, Georgian, Bulgarian, Serb, Macedonian, Albanian, Coptic, and Russian lands- they are invaders with NO HISTORY in Anatolia- they should go back to the Steppes of Central Asia- maybe then they can help stop the real genocide of their Turkish Uighur brothers by the Chinese communists!

Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.06.10)
I hope you are right that Israel will not fall. Sadly, Obama is working hard at isolating and delegitimizing Israel internationally, disarming Israel (he voted to force Israel to join the NPT) and creating a new Arab state that makes Israel not-viable. Look at Gaza: Hamas (a jihadist, anti-woman, anti-West, anti Gay, anti-American) organization attacks Israel for no reason, and gains international support whenever Israel tries to defend herself. Why do you think Judea and Samaria will be any different? As for Iran? I have written before, I think that Israel would be much better off making an alliance with Iran than sucking up to Obama who calls Reverend Wright his spiritual leader.
26. To All, It was NOT only FOR AID but TO BREAK SIEGE
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (06.06.10)
It is quite right this ship was not aiming only to carry a cargo of aids to Gaza but to make Show and make rest of the world hear Problems of Gaza Otherwise they could not be called Peace "Activisits" Their action is CERTAINLY Political, And their intentian was not only to carry AIDS otherwise they may send aid in a cargo ship to Israel and ask to transfer aid to Gaza PEACE ACTIVIST IS NOT PEACEFUL IN DEFENDING PEACE IN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD You see everyday many demos in Israel especially Radical Jews, Settlers beating Soldiers How many jewish demonstrator have you killed? NONE But You kill only Muslim Palestinians hand picking from Among Jewish leftists or kill Turkish ones in Ship but no European citizen IDF had a list for execution and they showed page by page in TV footage captured from IDF elite child crying atfer his lolipop was taken
27. IHH and erdogan
ANAT SOLOMON ,   ashdod israel   (06.06.10)
Truely i wont be also a bit surprised to know that Erdogan is connected to the IHH group. His acts and speeches speak for them selves and each of his step is preplanned.
28. so Tayfun when you stop occupation of Kudristan
to Tayfun   (06.06.10)
and pay reporation for 1000000 massacerd armeninas.Turks are nation of brutal killers
29. Changing times.
Gabe Yakmore ,   Canada   (06.06.10)
Turkish presence in NATO belongs to the Cold War era.
30. Erdogan Must Pay For the Consequences of His Actions
Douglas Fireman ,   Niles (USA)   (06.06.10)
In my opinion, Mr. Erdogan, and all other members of the Turkish government, who helped to organize the so called humanitarian aid flotilla that included terrorists, posing as peace activists, are intimately responsible for the tragic events on the Mavi Marmara, and should definitely be investigated at the international level.
