you have started down the slippery slope. it will be very hard to stop!

Talk is cheap. Money talks... Turkey initiated this disaster, SHE should pay.

I bet she can deliver a knock out without a punch.

When leaders make wrong choices there are consequences. We have to wait and see what other wrong consequences their leaders will bring .Those who are willingly being led they suffer.

i would like to see that happen my money is on sarah

Marmara break Israel law, for inciting and thus, causing these 9 deaths.

Erdogan is a crime against humanity.

should be 10 million dollars for each person murdered, and thats only one thing.

in his demands for compensation. Israel has already caved when it came to giving an apology. Erdogan waited three years for that, he will wait three years on the issue of compensation if need be. Erdogan is in it for the long haul, Netanyahu needs some quick solutions to normalise relations with Turkey before Syria really blows up. Israel will cave, on the plus side it will probably be American taxpayers money the compensation is paid with. A stickier problem for Netanyahu is normalising trade in Gaza, that will cripple the Southern Israeli economy

with ''friends'' like Turkey, Israel doesnt need you It is the Turks who should be compensating to those killed by Turkey and for injuries caused to Israeli soldiers.

As an American taxpayer you will be contributing towards the compensation package whether you want to or not, and regardless of the amount.

It ain't gonna happen..but undoubtedly some negotiated sum will be agreed upon. The price of stupidity. In the future let's hope that the PM et al. will factor in some of that "yiddisha cup"( that we take so much pride in) in his decision making process.

erDOGan never intended to normalize relations with Israel. He and Obama are playing with Israel. He loves the praise of his islamists buddies when he makes Bibi look weak. It is such a shame that Bibi fell for this nonsense. I am afraid it is time to put Bibi out to pasture. Lieberman or Bennett would be better.

just pay the fines and shut up. put this to rest. It is in Israel interest.....All this hot air talk is just that..

I hope Obama is paying us BIG time for this.

it matters what Israel does. The only thing Israel needs from Turkey is overflight rights. All Turkey has to do is do nothing to interfere.

It was the Turks who BROKE THE LAW. The Turks should pay Israel 1 million per dead that they caused.

but no figure was quoted. Bibi should stand firm on this one as he has on the matter of not lifting the naval blockade. If Erdogon is really serious about restoring ties and moving on then he should reciprocrate Israel's moves and lower his demands.

It's Pesach...wait till after and the Beer is my treat!!!!

them in advance? Erdogen should pay the families himself as it was HE who sent them, paid them, and buried them.

their flush with cash that obama gave them. Israel should kick sand in Erdogen's face that's all he's worth a bloody extortioner.

You're all hot air it isn't just the money it's the principle. Not one of those paid thugs were worth a back and a half. If you feel so strongly about it, raise it yourself have a dinner or car wash, it's only money, right?

Turkey should apologize to Israel for violating an internationally accepted and fully legal blockade upheld by a sovereign and independent Jewish State of Israel. The legality of the issue is recognized by the Palmer Report and by the United Nations. Turkey should regret and apologize for sympathizing with, financing and ordering IHH to attack our soldiers and to attack our fully legal blockade. Turkey should apologize for sympathizing with the "Palestinians", Hamas and Al Fatah - Arab squatters and colonialists hellbent on destroying Israel, the Jewish people and stealing our ancient Jewish homeland. Turkey should apologize for for equating Zionism with "racism" and Turkey should apologize for calling Zionism a "crime against humanity" and Turkey should apologize for equating Zionism with Nazism, Fascism and Communism. Turkey and more specifically Erdogan should apologize to President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his (Erdogan's) outrageous and rude behavior. And it is TURKEY that should PAY $1MILLION DOLLARS to each assaulted and abused IDF soldier! And Turkey should pay Israel at least $1 BILLION dollars for attacking the State of Israel, our independence and sovereignty, our Jewish national character and our fully legal blockade in international forums. It is Israel that should place demands on Turkey. I yet have to hear what Turkey is willing to do in exchange for Israel's compensation efforts - compensation that Turkey doesn't need nor deserve. It's not Israel's fault that Erdogan's super aggressive foreign policy of inflating Turkey's international importance and standing is based on the fact that Kurds will demographically overtake ethnic Turks by 2038, and that Erdogan and other extremist Turkish nationalists want to seize their last chance of national greatness before the ultimate fall of Turkey is a fact. Ultimately, what Turkey really deserves is a really good beat up by the IDF. If and when Israel flattens Ankara and Istanbul to the ground I think Turkey gets the message. I think Israel must force Turkey to an immediate and unconditional submission or face immediate and unconditional annihilation. We Jews will never take orders from anyone particularly not from Muslims and particularly not from Turks. Maybe my government in Jerusalem is soft but I am not. If things were up to me, Turkey would have to eat up every word they have uttered. But most of all, wiping Turkey of the map is preferable. And if there is a war between Israel and Turkey, Turkey will either be forced to fight IDF and IAF and be annihilated or to surrender and be humiliated. I would first humiliate Turkey and then annihilate Turkey. Long Live Kurdistan! Let's drink to the demise of the Turks!!!
