to RAFAEL SADI: what if they dont change the government ? until 1990 maybe you are right but now turkey=iran=syria (big canavar)

David meant #51 written by Sami. #31 was probably a typo. But of course Sami is completely right in his comment. David is the one who hasn't got a clue!

Ah Maurice, thanks. Of course Sami # 51 is correct. David # 52, your foul language is totally uncalled for.

and they were defending their boat from pirates/IDF (i make no distinction) cos they were in international waters and no one had the right to invade thier boat -

it would not have mattered if it were intnl waters or not these demostrators goal was to violently confront the IDF.... interdicting boats in intnl waters has been done many times in the past by nations other tha Israel .... by intnl law of the sea ...nations may establish blocades to prevent munitions and other war materials from entering the area of conflict.... currently Hamas is at war with israel and has not ceased indscriminate firing of qassams into civilian areas of israel.... till they stop terror activities and recognize israels right to exist - israel reserves the right to defend itself ....it is better to make sure the qassams are stopped before it gets to gazas boarders...than have them stored in a warehouse that hamas has placed stategicly near a school or hospital...which could result in a large number of civilian casualties if the IDF has to take out the warehouse of qassams.... but the those on these peace boat don't care .... the real pressure should be on hamas not israel !

Turkish people have to rais up now or risk falling further into the past. The future of peace lies with the truth not total crap and lies all the time. Get moving Turkey!
