Poor Turks don't even understand they are setting a precedent for their future compensation formula for the Armenian genocide. When the Turks to pay same reparations for the Armenian genocide - no doubt the turkish entity will collapse immediately withiout any hope to ressurrect.

How much did Turkey pay to the families of the victims of the terrorist attack on two synagogues in Istanbul? Nine terrorists were killed when Israel acted to stop a breach of its fully legal and internationally recognized blockade. That's what the Palmer Report said -- you know, the report which ensued from the investigation which Erdogan insisted upon. Erdogan really does have a strangely inflated sense of Turkey's importance. His colon cancer has probably metastasized to his brain. It certainly didn't have very far to travel!

he is the one who messed up this affair.

better let's take that money and come having a drink with me...!

Erdogen doesn't really want to resolve the conflict with Israel so he keeps making what Israel has to do absurd. He hasn't stopped the criminal proceedings against the commandos yet, now he wants the State of Israel to serve as a life insurance company for the dead Turkish aggressors. I don't see anything in my personal Life insurance policy that covers me under the same conditions that these protestors placed themselves in. In fact, I would not be covered. This is just extortion aimed to prevent the Turkey-Israel reconciliation from happening and to position Israel as the obstacle. Israel needs to figure out a way to manage her defenses in the event of Iran war or other regional war without Turkey's radar or whatever carrot turkey is dangling in front of the US, the EU and Israel.

Erdogan is simply saying "Yes but" to Obama by asking for the moon.He is asking not only for $ 1.000.000 by family, but also for the lifting of the naval blockade at Hamas-Gazza. Only then, he says , he will push towards a pre-67 (1948) borders including 3/4th of Jerusalem (Moslem + Christian parts) to become the future Palestinian capital. Of course, Erdogan has no word to say about the recognition of a "Jewish" Israel . Bibi. it`s high time to say to Erdogan "over my dead body" .

If Mr. Erdogan wants to discuss compensation he can start by offering it to Kurdish victims of his attacks. He could also compensate Cyprus for the invasion of 1974 and the removal of the Greek Cypriot civilians. He should also not forget the victims of the attack on the synagogue in Istanbul. His police failed to protect the worshipers. Mr. Erdogan has alot of gall to demand compensation.

USE AMERICAN TAX PAYERS MONEY.... WHO CARES !!!

Given that these were terrorists sent by Turkey to attack Israel (see their martyr's videos) Turkish army to the families of its fallen soldiers – 125,000 Turkish liras, or some $70,000. This would better equate them with Turkey's actual goals.

Apparently for Erdogan and AKP the value of an ordinary Turkish person killed by PKK terrorist is 125 thousand TL (70 thousand dollars) but an ultra Islamist IHH terrorist is worth a million. Also remember this, a secular Turk who peacefully protests usually is tortured in detention (like the young pregnant women in Izmir, the ODTU students etc ) but those who want to divide Titkey using violence are sent to a private island or used as secret witness against innocent people in court.

It is very frustrating to see your identity being trolled by spineless imposters... there should be some filter to identify the real ones...

I am against giving ten cents to the Islamists in Turkey. I would much prefer to give millions to the Armenians ! Last time I hear,,,,,they ae waiting for an apology. do you think that will happen ? LOL

nice to see the Turks showing the lefties in Israel how stupid they have become.

if one penny goes to Turkey, I willl be cutting my financial support to Israel immediately. Sad but true !

I don't know what went on behind closed doors, but there is no doubt that the diplomatic approach to the Turks was a big mistake, particularly when one sees already the results of Israel eating humble pie. The Turkish prime minister already shows the contempt he has for Israel through the disgusting posters which would might have been conceived and produced by a school kid rather than a sophisticated prime minister. An offer of 'regret' may have been more suitable rather than an 'apology'. Turkey is a radical Islamic country with a a rich history of aggression in the region. Israel has also made a monetary offer to the families of those terrorists who died on the Turkish ship. If the Turks do not want to accept this more than generous offer, then I suggest the Israel government say that is as far as we are prepared to go - take it or leave it. Preferably the Turks will leave it. Always remember that the Turks want o be part of the EU and Erdogan is not as popular with the larger secular Turkish society as he thinks.

#20 The file of Mavi Marmara trial hasn't been finished yet in Germany. The Federal prosecution office of Germany is still investigating the lawsuit. 6 on-board German citizen have filed charges against Israel. I afraid this problem will surpass our relationship with Israel. Germany also prevents EU & Turkish involvement of Syrian conflict. The court doesn't care the recent political recoveries between Israel & Turkey. Accept all or nothing. Today Obama is KING because he is carrying a portfolio of "Republican Neocon crimes"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #32 Which planet u live? Turkey will never pay even a cent. We have solved this problem in Lausanne. Escrow funds for the Armenian goods had been transferred to Britain for their war crimes. Do you want another world war? We have legitimate (covered for now) claims still over the Balkans but Win-win policy have been completed. No problem for now! We have also solved our deed,land registry conflicts with the state of Greece. Forget serious Soviets, today Armenia is not accepting their own agreements. AK47 Bullets are flying in their parliament. No any sincere intention for the conflict of Nagorno Karabag???? Turkish Airports and air corridors are open. 100.000 Illegal Armenian workers are living in Turkey today. They are not leaving for Russia or Iran! Where is the Asala terror indemnities? First, shut down your soviet-style toxic nuclear power plant.

No justice until Armenia, Cyprus and Kurdistan are freed of the occupation and the Turks give back what they stole with interest.

We should indeed apologize for armenian deaths and pay compensation as well but truth is armenians wants big chunk of turkey with an apology, this is a zero chance demand and will not happen im not saying we committed genocide but the reckless actions taken by ottomans by marching massess out of country is a crime and requires compensation regardless of being terrorist or not you wouldnt give away your ten cents under any condition :)

i dont think those in prison are innocent for all the years military had its hands over everything in turkey i cant belive you think they have done everything accord. to law akp is playing cheap political games for conservatives and muslim countries, ridiculous behaviours after apology like billboards and still saying he will visit gaza is nothing but exploiting the situation, i agree the money for fallen soldiers should be same amount they want from israel

In Turkey , rights for family members of one who died during the military service: Compensation, monthly salary(mom, dad or wife), home(m/d/w), social rights, getting job in the public sector, travel and social facility for free ,job(sons) taxallowance , exempt from military service(brothers), loan without interest ,scholarship to sons,..One of them is me!

and, it aint worth a million a piece more like a buck and a half per. The 'passengers' deliberately boarded the ship intending to break the law and the legal blockade, it is they and the Turkish government who should pay Israel for Turkey's crimes. Didn't erdogen already pay each of the terrorists $10,000.00 each? What happened to that money? And, where will the 'funds' go and, knowing most 'committees' someone will get a portion for their 'time with the committee.' erogen will distract his people with this silly subject until the cows come home while meanwhile, how many Syrian's are escaping into Turkey? And what will be the cost to Turkey and the other Arab nations nearby? THAT is the reality on the ground, not Israel protecting herself from publicity seeking knuckle dragging anti semitic idiots and at the helm, ol' erdogen the nut job.

Peace is paid for in blood, usually more from our enemy than ours. It is also the lull between wars.

make me shake my head with sorrow. You have all been fooled by a very very large mainstream cult called zionism. It has nothing to do with religion for them, but they play on your strings and make it only about it in your heart so you loose sight of good, and humanity as a whole. Wake up brothers. We are humans, we are one species, the only terrorist are the leaders of these countries (including Israel and US) putting us against eachother. Everyone else is just brainwashed into what their own leaders are saying.

Hey, what happened to the $10,000.00 paid to each of the terrorists prior to the confrontation? Who got that or, does any one know?

as long as it's non-alcoholic and you don't try any funny stuff .

At least 1m per family of each murder victim Israel really needs to stop messing around on this matter if it wants Turkey to allow proper diplomatic relations again
