Jenny ,   NY USA   (08.06.14)
MORE chocolate-making equipment? Fool me once... Talk about turkeys...they are, like,..REAL turkeys!
3. No Limit
JH ,   Haifa Israel   (08.06.14)
No limit to the numbers of Palestinians they are willing to treat? Except there is a limit on the number of Palestinians they will treat if they were killed by Hamas, or killed by the PLO or killed by Assad or killed by any other muslim and the limit is ZERO. No one of those will be treated in Turkey at all. Only when a muslim is injured by Israel do the Turks take any note.
4. A HUMANITARIAN ERDOGAN GESTURE?
stude ham   (08.06.14)
ROFL! Israel has a simple answer available for that request... NO!
5. terror sponsor turkey will ship arms
bernard ross   (08.06.14)
6. They want to have an air bridge?
AY ,   USA   (08.06.14)
After the last anti-Semitic campaign in Turkey? Seriously? I'm not against humanitarian help to Gazans in need of it, but only if it goes through Israel and all the aid is checked for armaments and multiple-use materials. BTW, this is the guy, who - Hillary Clinton said - was close to declaring a war on Israel.
7. So they can send more missile materials to Gaza
Ted   (08.06.14)
like they did send those metal marbles to Gaza for so called humanitarian aids.
8. This is what I hope Israel says
Conroy ,   Toronto   (08.07.14)
No.
9. only after veting all coming on board no hiding under veils

10. Erdogan is also Muslim Brotherhood.
Stephen in New York   (08.07.14)
Co-existence with the Muslim Brotherhood is impossible.
11. 1st step from Erdogan: public apology, respect for blockade
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (08.07.14)
Turkey has some chutzpah. It has nothing to do with "humanitarian" - what crap! The operative words in the article were "eager to reestablish itself as a power". Look at Turkeys savage colonial treatment of Armenians and Kurds. Before any Turk "airbridge" through Israel is happening, Erdogan's first steps must be: 1} public apology to Israel and the Jewish people for past bigoted and racist attacks, 2] immediate effective steps to better protect the rights of Turkey's Jews, including an end to official demonization campaigns, 3] Turkish pledge for no more "flotillas", dissolving IHH, and recognition that Israel's blockade of Hamas is a legitimate self defense move. 4] immediate resumption of full normal relations and cooperation with Israel. After it is seen that Turks have done all this, and it only requires a few days to accomplish, THEN their airbridge request can be considered. No cooperation with Turks if they don't do all this first.. Who the hell do they think they are? Screw them!
12. Send them All
Jon ,   Baltimore, USA   (08.07.14)
Let Turkey have every single one of them. Let them provide them electricity, food, medicine and other humanitarian aid. You could even rename it Palestine. Take their bretheren from the Palestinian occupied West Bank as well. Stop the occupation of Israel by Palestinians.
13. Turkey seeks air corrider to supply weapons
Mordechai   (08.07.14)
Turkey won't give them humanitarian aid but they will give them advanced weapons systems. Perhaps even Turkish regular military personnel as well.
14. Turkish Push To Harm Israel
(08.07.14)
As of this moment in Erdogan's history, permitting Turkish involvement would only lead to disadvantage and worse for Israel.
15. #4, reconsider your response
Essie HaKohane ,   USA   (08.07.14)
Turkey said there is no limit to how many Gazans they could treat in Turkey. Since there are those who claim that 1.5 million Gazans are traumatized, I propose that 1.5 million Gazans immediately get airlifted to Turkey.
16. Glenn Carver on Facebook
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.07.14)
You talk "garbage" Glenn. The Jews are God's chosen people. If you believe Jesus is the son of God then you must believe the Bible. Jesus was a Jew. It would appear you don't know Jesus. You should do something about that before it is too late.
17. Air bridge
(08.07.14)
We need a different air bridge, Turkey is collaborating with IS to genocide Christians, Kurds and Yezidi. Israel should start giving the Kurds close air-support through Turkish airspace, and if Erdogan resists, destroy his air force and navy.
18. Highway 2 hell
Elisheva   (08.07.14)
Offer them the highway to hell.
