1. PROVOCATION AGAINST ISRAEL, ISRAEL ACTS PROPERLY !
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (05.31.10)
THIS FLOTILLA OF MAD ANTI-SEMITIC HIPPOCRATES HAS INSTIGATED A VILE AND PREMEDITATED PROVOCATION AGAINST ISRAEL. THE TURKS, AND ALL THE MAD IDIOTS ON BOARD INCLUDING EXTREMISTS, TERRORISTS AND JUST PLAIN STUPID PEOPLE ARE TO BLAME FOR ANY VIOLENT OUTCOME. WHAT DID THEY EXPECT FROM ISRAEL WHOM THEY OPENLY HATE AND PROVOKE ? DID THEY EXPECT A TEA PARTY ?
2. Double Standard
Abdul ,   Canada   (05.31.10)
Hopefully Turkish murder of innocent Kurds will be discussed at these meetings.
3. TURKISH GOV'T INSTIGATED THESE PROTESTS
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (05.31.10)
THE ERDOGANS OF TURKEY ARE THE CULPRITS BEHIND THE TERRIBLE " PROTESTS " AND VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR AT THE ISRAELI EMBASSY IN TURKEY. SOME PEOPLE IN TURKEY ARE HEADING AWAY FROM CIVILISED BEHAVIOUR AND TURKEY IS BECOMING MORE BRUTAL . LET'S HOPE THAT ERDOGAN IS VOTED OUT AND THERE WILL BE A MORE CIVILISED GOVERNMENT IN TURKEY . THE TURKISH PEOPLE THEMSELVES DESERVE BETTER LEADERSHIP THAN ERDOGAN !
4. Interesting how quickly these protesters showed up
Historical Observer ,   USA   (05.31.10)
Seems a little suspicious that would be ready so early in the morning to create more drama and attention. Seems like this was pre-planned, no?
5. do I see the flag of UK there? very smart
ghostq   (05.31.10)
to incorage Turks to huge political mess and flee so only turks will get the mess and not the UK, ladies and gentelman UK at her best.
6. to #2 not only Kurds but also Armenians
ghostq   (05.31.10)
and Circassians the Turks did mass massacre in them as well, Israel gave them refug, there r villages of refugees very rich villages I might add. here more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circassians_in_Israel
7. no 4 - in fact they began to protest
Shaul R ,   USA   (05.31.10)
just hours after the ships set sail. The signs were printed, the stones prepared. A well-scripted propaganda provocation.
8. PM Erodagan IS THIS the same ISRAEL you let in OECD?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.31.10)
Turkish PM Erdogan allowed Israel to enter into OECD thanks to not vetoing Israeli entry to OECD Turkish PM Erdogan is showy anti-israeli at SURFACE but in fact supporter of Israel beneath Erdogan's party AKP is full of Israeli friend caucus there were 270 AKP Members of Parliement who are member of ISRAELI CAUCUS in TURKEY
9. To hell with turkey
John   (05.31.10)
Thought the turkish government has nothing to do with these so called human rights group .Why the turkish government crying like a baby now? GO TO HELL TURKEY
10. 600 ON FLOTILLA, ARABS, CNN, BBC, WILL SAY 2600 WERE KILLED
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (05.31.10)
THIS IS THE MATHEMATICS OF TERRORISTS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS.
11. Newly Islamist Turkey provoked Israel
Avi ,   Geneva   (05.31.10)
and now complains that its dastardly plot to embarrass us failed! Stupid people. Turkey was once our friend and ally. Now they have clearly veered away from civilization and back to Islamic backwardness. Their thinking is confused - too much hash, perhaps?
12. The shame day for the Hıstory !!!
oulker ,   Antalya/Turkey   (05.31.10)
Congratulations Israel . You show no mercy and all of the world are watching you right now. If you still say we are not guilty about that military attack , nobody will respects you . Do something for peace !!!!!
13. enough with the turks
the true facts ,   israel   (05.31.10)
the turks who try to be close to europe are realy islamic fundamentalists that acting like they where not .israel should stop all relations with turkey their real faces are revealed
14. Something is fishy- why the calls of injured before boarding
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (05.31.10)
This story has a lot of holes. Why a riot at the same time of the alleged attacks? Why are they calling in English ad Hebrew not to attack as they have wounded. If they were wounded before the attack then who injured them? And if they all were unarmed civilians who stabbed the IDF solider in the stomach?
15. oulker
(05.31.10)
Hamas must free Gilad Shalit, do you understand? they can't keep it in slavery and require aids to sourvive. Hamas is just a group of beasts and they must get all the possible punishment until they breath.
16. oulker
Daniela   (05.31.10)
what hamas is doing for peace? peace is made by the 2 sides not only one. where is hamas in this issue and what is it doing for peace? why they don't free our Gilad Shalit? According to your point of view Is hamas working for peace ? which peace? Your country support terrorism, you should not be so proud of the new turkey's islamic government.
17. To Oulker in Turkey: why is Turkey agitating for war?
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (05.31.10)
Yes, this is a sad day in history when Turkish provocation caused this. Why is Turkey so demanding to support the terrorist Hamas government? Why is Turkey not helping to bring the Palestinians to the negotiating table. Instead, Turkey has been making great efforts to support Hamas and to make sure the peace talks do not start. Why? Why are you Turkish people coming to agitate and make trouble, instead of working to get Hamas to stop its policy of rejecting peace? Do you want us to send a "humanitarian" convoy to support the Armenians in Turkey, and send food and medicine and building supplies to the PKK? Any school child could tell you that there would be trouble, yet Turkey insisted on sticking its finger in Israel's eye, saying that you are "helping your Palestinian brothers". No you're not. If you want to help, tell Hamas to negotiate for peace.
18. Turksish hypocriticism
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (05.31.10)
In order to "end the occupation" of gaza, Turkey sends a boat from occupied north cyprus. with "humanitrarian" terrorists on board
19. #14 - eric
eporue ,   europe   (05.31.10)
it is said, israeli forces immediately opened fire, when roped down from the helicopter. the marvi marmara raised the white flag, but shootings didnt stop. they called then in english and later in hebrew to stop shootings. there is a dead person on deck in a life vest.
20. turkey has decided to attack israel
sert   (05.31.10)
i see nothing but an attack on israel in sending the boats. unfortunately israelis were hurt due to being very slow to kill those on board the boats. israel should ask turkey to opoligize and compensate israelis that were hurt in insist on compensation for the wasted time in rounding up the boats and people on board.
21. Turkey.....only good in shawarmahs!
Jay3 ,   ISrael   (05.31.10)
22. to #19 and you believe someone who came with
ghostq   (05.31.10)
knives to make trouble in the areas, they also had metal rodes, hint supply was there much. congra you r protecting jihad.
23. Greece or Cyprus not Turkey!
Stephen ,   Tel Aviv   (05.31.10)
I was going to book a long weekend retreat for my staff in Turkey and instead will choose Greece or Cyprus.
24. Should read 'Turkish provocation'
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.31.10)
Israel did the right thing
25. ıt is totally provocation
özgür ,   Turkey   (05.31.10)
most people know that ıts just provocation not humanitarian aid how can people take a baby to the ship. ofcourse yes when İsrael intervention to the ship they say 'look look israel attack the ship which is carrying 1 years old baby' in fact İsrael warned in advance however the ship set sail despite the warn dear İHH principals fist of all you have to help or send a aid our country not gaza many people are suffering from famine ,poverty.
26. Turkey has made its choice: Islamism, not Europeanism
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.31.10)
And for Turkey to be accepted into the Muslim world, after decades of attempting to be part of Europe, the Turks must pay their due and they do so by relentlessly attacking the nation-state of the Jewish people. This, in their mind, will demonstrate their loyalty to the Muslim world.
27. Keep all captives until Gilad Shalit is freed
Stuart ,   USA   (05.31.10)
Keep all captives until Gilad Shalit is freed
28. ...to all Israelis.
Zarahutra ,   Turkey   (05.31.10)
As a Kurd in Germany I can say,this act was a provocation of fundementalist in Turkey , which have wanted that it grows antisemitism against Israelis. For Erdogan it is a further opportunity to broke up the relations.The arabs are damn sure happy now. My brothers and sister! Do not think please that all citizens in Turkey have such an opinion like erdogan. That is only a badly Phase.Wir still love you! Greetings
29. Time to summon Turkish envoy
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.31.10)
So IHH, Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation aka global terrorist organization, was behind this provocation. Turkey, particularly Erdogan, must explain why he gave his approval to this blatant confrontation with Israel. What were Turkish officials thinking? And Turkey wants to be a mediator. Kiss that possibility goodbye!
