his mouth for one second.Spewing this hate and violence is not helping the situation for anybody,specially the Turks.AtaTurk must be turnning in his grave.The Americans and the Europeans cannot be happy with this guy either.Erdogan has too go.

Prime Minister Erdogan since just the flotilla (and in fact since Operation Cast Lead) you have never shut up in your unreasonable criticism of Israel. So how can you claim that you "won't remain silent?"

It was quit last week from the 'Oracle of Ankara"......He's like the 'Iceland vulcano erruption, lot's of 'grey smoke', interrupting civilisation.

go ahead and devote your last years of your funny life, but please just shuuut uuup already, do your thing and don't tell us about it.

YNet, please stop using the word 'raid' every time you write about this. Hamas performed a raid when they kidnapped Gilad Shalit. Sailors boarding a ship running a blockade is not a raid. In all of nautical history, the blockade runners are the raiders. Get your terminology straight. As for Erdogan, the man has gone over to the darkest side of Islamic fundamentalism and will order his navy to do anything it takes to keep HIMSELF in power- just like Assad, Mubarak, and the litter of pathetic Arab dictators who crush their own people. Israel has every right to sink every ship attempting to run the blockade. Iran and Turkey, both Jew-hating countries, are spoiling for a war. If Shalit isn't released before the next flotilla arrives, I think war will be upon us, and it will be entirely the Arabs' fault. Notice that none of these Arab 'leaders' have demanded Shalit's release. They are all made of the same cloth and that cloth must be destroyed.

So, he sides with the "other" camp! His behavior only proves that the Europeans were 100% right not to let him be part of the EU.

in competition with the Dubai police chief as to which can make the biggest public fool of himself. Thankfully, Dubai Dumbo finally put a sock in it. Erdogan, however, will probably keep baying and howling until someone carts him off stage.

Israel was with her sovereign right to do what she did. You just want to make a noise. I'm sorry for our decaying relations with the secular Turkish community and Turkish Armed Forces because of you and your agenda.

But you are totally silent about pkk terrorism!I am sick and tired hearin same words again and again from him when he doesnt do anything about pkk terrorism!You are sitting silent and tryin to gain your lost votes with using this issues!

the hundreds of thousands of slaughtered Kurds, the many thousands of Cypriots kicked by the Turks out of northern Cyprus, still occupied by those who inherited the Ottoman Empire and wishing to bring it about and impose it upon the peoples of the Middle East. No, we shall not be silent; indeed, we intend to demand that Turkey apologize to the Armenians for the genocide inflicted upon this tiny and brave people. We insist the Turks apologize for to the Kurdish people as well as to the Cypriot people, and having done so, enable the Kurds to exercise their universally accepted right to national self-determination and independence and get the hell out of Cyprus, now!

Adolph Erdogan will not be silent and he can not sleep well at night because of Israeli government. Stop crying like a little ..... and do something about.

but the world and Israel have revealed my true intentions of sending jihadists and terrorists to Israel. Now I'm in the corner not knowing what to do, so i try to change the real face of reality by these foolish stupid statements. I hope you will understand me and the situation that I'm facing right now. Regards Tayep Erdogan

The free people of the world say: Shut off !!! Lame example of a arrogant spoil child.

Thake a Valium and shut it Erdogan. Hypocrite and liar....sponsor of terrorism. Those are his "Credentials". His 15 minutes are long used up. Throw his bums out.

if this moron is pissing and moaning to such a ridiculous extent.

can deal with. I hope the Turks realize what disaster this man is gradually is bringing upon his own people and country and know how to put an end to it for their sake, the sake of Turkey and the sake of humanity.

Please -- do not remain silent. Speak up. Let's start with the genocide of the Armenian people. After that, let's chat a bit about the Kurdish people. Do not remain silent, Mr. Erdogan. Come, now. The world is waiting. You promised.

1.5 Million men, women and children murdered in the Armenian genocide, the unlawful military invsaion of Cyprus...

Ergodan should be careful leading his country toward radical Islam. Given its historical involvement of genocide, displacement of certain ethnic groups, slaughtering innocent and imperialism, Turkey's atrocities outweigh anything Israel has done 100 fold. Israel's PR machine should be hard at work exposing Turkey's past.

Israel has the capability to cripple the engines and navigation systems on these ships. No need to board them and put soldiers in peril. If one reads the flotilla proclamation it is to; 1) break the blockade and 2) deliver "human" aid, not "humanitarian" aid. This is a provocation as the real goal is the destruction of Israel. Turkey has declared war on it's once close ally because Ergodan will not be out-done by Persia.

This is a contest of who can be more anti Israel Iran or Turkey. The fight for hearts and minds of the Arab street.

Sultan Erdogan! Sultan Erdogan!

...apologize, return the hijacked ships, agree to an international investigation (not that Israel has a say in this matter) and pay compensation to the families of those who were so brutally killed. Otherwise Israel can say goodbye to its embassy in Ankara and the consulate in Istanbul. If Israel does not fulfill these 4 demands the biggest loser from this debacle will be Israel.
