1. Countersue them!
Jim ,   Tel-Aviv   (10.06.12)
for trying to breach a naval blockade, for GBH to our soldiers - their families can sue I'm sure, and primarily - being a part of a terrorist group, and sue them in the USA not in Israel, where the judges are meek and politically correct. Turks want to sue our political and military officials, why don't we sue Turkish officials in US courts, so that they would never travel to the US? Our patience must run out, why are we afraid to strike back all this scum?
2. Good luck with that,idiots.
Malone ,   Hfx   (10.06.12)
3. They will lose and be liable for costs. hopefully millions
ky   (10.06.12)
Israel was exercising its legal right to stop a band of professional trouble makers
4. Terrorists have no right to compensation
Alex   (10.06.12)
Has this world gone nuts?
5. Sue away, terrorists...
Whoever ,   Wherever   (10.06.12)
Our Jewish lawyers are better than your Jewish lawyers
6. Counter sue
Avi   (10.06.12)
For intent to illegally enter Israeli waters, breach a military blockade, refusal to stop and attacking detaining force (much like regular refuse to be arrested clause). Cite the UN's report and Maritime border that back it up. As for defense use the simple yet decisive argument that any party that clearly shows intent to enter a foreign state's sea border illegally, refuses to stop, does all that on intent to breach a military blockade and attacks the authority can be expected to get hurt.
7. That was not a peaceful ship, they were
Arlene ,   Israel   (10.06.12)
well armed or the fight wouldnt have broken out, so I think Israel should also sue for the soldiers that were hurt in the Mamaras violent provocation. BTW why the heck did we apologize, please take my personal abstention from any apology, and for the ship on the way....there are so many other places that you could go, but maybe you will get a tour of Gaza..the Mall, the 5 star hotels, the crowded beaches or will they take you to the slums, that are kept to blind idiots like yourselves
8. You have to be joking?
Jayjay ,   Israel   (10.06.12)
There is video shoeing these terrorists wanted to die as martyrs! They wanted to die! Terrorist families shouldnt get a red cent! Go to hell!!
9. we should sue
Israeli   (10.06.12)
We should sue those aboard the Mavi incl The gov of Turkey who sponsored the illegal attack against Israel
10. never waste paper
marco ,   pardes hana, israel   (10.06.12)
just send the 144 pages over, we need some toilet paper! What nerve!! Go flush out your anger someplace else!!
11. Do not dare to defend yourself if attacked by chosen people!
Albrecht   (10.06.12)
Do not dare to defend your ship or house if attacked in the middle of the night by chosen people. Then you will be shot dead and you will become a "terrorist".
12. "Unacceptable?"
Madeleine ,   Israel   (10.06.12)
"...the killing of eight Turkish activists and a Turkish-American was "unacceptable." Well, hello, we here in Israel think that attacking our soldiers before they even had a chance to draw any sort of weapon at all, is unacceptable, too. Those 9 "activists" - terrorists - were killed in self0defence and I sincerely hope that we don't pay out one agora in compensation. Just where do these idiots get their ideas from?
13. Counter sue them
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (10.06.12)
For expenses of boarding the ship, towing it and harbor fees as well as the injuries of our soldiers.
14. The soldiers that boarded Marmara were attacked by the ones
Rachel   (10.06.12)
on it. The Turkish government supported the Ship to Gaza flotilla The Islamist party of Turkey lies regarding what happened. No one was tortured. The ones that were killed were attacking the soldiers with the intent to kill them.
15. And then Bin Laden's family will sue the United States?
Cynic ,   USA   (10.06.12)
16. Sorry, had to laugh out loud!
Barry ,   Tokyo   (10.06.12)
Imagine Arafat suing Israel for terrorism!
17. I think Turkey can be counter-suied and much more
leo ,   usa   (10.06.12)
successfully too.
18. Albrecht @11, I hope you are sincere.
leo ,   usa   (10.06.12)
19. IDF criminals should be taken to ICC for war crime and
(10.06.12)
crimes agains humanity. But to take money from israeli is second best.
20. #11 you're correct. The ship was in international waters
JIm   (10.06.12)
21. May they receive the same reward as Rachel Corrie's family.
Devorah   (10.06.12)
And, unless they are being represented pro bono, may the costs of this suit bankrupt this parade of fools. $5,000,000 lol. May they receive five cents and a bus ride to the mental institutions their relatives belonged in.
22. Waste of time
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.06.12)
The suit was filed in a TURKISH court. It has no meaning whatsoever.
23. No Case
Ron ,   LA USA   (10.06.12)
The Turkey government won't have anything to do with this suit , as they are at a minimum complicit in the festivies trying to run a very legal blockade of a terrorist run state. As far as a civil suit goes the plaintiffs can certainly be counter sued.
24. ErDOGan Is FRICKEN Nuts He Keeps
(10.06.12)
Kicking A Dead Horse and expecting it to Winnie? Typical arab mentality
25. TURKEY TO SUE ISRAEL
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (10.06.12)
TURKE TO SUE ISRAEL, WE SHOULD HAVE BLOWN THE F............... SHIP UP. GIVE THEM NOTHING NOT EVEN A DIME.
26. TURKISH TOURISM
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (10.06.12)
TURKISH TOURISM HAS SHRUNK, VERY FEW ISRAELI,S GOING THEIR NOW. GODS BUNISHMENT YE THAT CURSES ISRAEL SHALL BE CURSED. E.G. LIBYA EGYPT, SYRIA, LEBANON, AFGANISTAN IRAQ, FIRST AND FORMOST IRAN. I LAUGHED AT THE IRANIAN CURRENCY GOING DOWN TO 35.000 RIALS TO THE DOLLAR. IT WONT BE LONG BE FORE UNREST REALLY GETS GOING IN IRAN YOU SEE. AMEN AMEN.
27. Actually a good idea
SMF ,   USA   (10.06.12)
Unless Turkey is Sharia Imam Chop the hand Law--they deny it. The defender is entitled to have "Discovery." The defendants can depose the IHH, Erdogan's Party, and the terror networks for their involvement and money trail.
28. Albrecht # 11
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.06.12)
If you are stupid enough to try and break a legal blockade then don't cry about it when it doesn't work.
29. #20 It's legal to board ships headed to enemy territory
Alex   (10.06.12)
It's legal to board ships headed for enemy territories on international waters. Even the official UN investigation concluded this. Ship to Gaza have no international rights on their side, quite the contrary. They're extremists performing illegal actions against Israel.
30. What are they suing for?
Ben S ,   Free world   (10.06.12)
Do they want their knives, pipes, and bats back?
