1. this wasn't even a drill, sound
ghostq   (06.27.10)
like Turkey is doing everything to kick herself out of Nato, oh and from the security council as well.
2. Send the turkish drone delegation home!
(06.27.10)
and never come back
3. how long till ELAL are barred from Turkey?
zionist forever   (06.27.10)
Erdogan is making the situation worse and the rift harder to ever heal by the day. For each new restriction Turkey puts in place its 1 more problem we need to work out before we can sort things out. Pretty soon we are going to reach a point of no return. We are already trying to create good relations with the Kurds which has been going quite well. Now lets try and rapair damaged relations with Greece and Cyprus both countries who have no love for Turkey and could be useful to Israel if it wants to expand its reach into the Mediterranean.
4. Technically we should complain about Turkey's behavior again
The Dude   (06.27.10)
But I have to ask, who in the IDF was this stupid to fly over Turkey with over 100 officers in one plane! Did we learn nothing from what happened with the Polish President. This is incredibly dangerous! Regardless of Turkey, had their been a technical issue with the plane, this would have been a major military disaster. Secondly we can longer trust Turkey, what is the IDF doing sending any planes civilian or military over their airspace! All planes today should be re-routed.
5. Good one Turkey!

6. Turkey is not a friend
Rachel ,   US   (06.27.10)
Why are you selling weapons to Turkey again? Stopping chasing after people who obviously do not want anything to do with you. It makes you look weak.
7. flight over Turkey
SM ,   Istanbul   (06.27.10)
Israel must stop all kind of weapon and military technology sales to Turkey and also freeze the existing deals even by paying penalties. These weapons one day can be used against Israel.
8. no 3
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (06.27.10)
So Israel loses a deranged Islamic so called friend and gains three non Musl im Christian ones, a better than expected trade off ,long may it continue?
9. no 5
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (06.27.10)
It cannot be good for Turkey, if once again the EU rejects their entry into the EU ,what are you talking about Palestinian ?
11. A planload of IDF soldiers. You're nuts
joe   (06.27.10)
Haven't we learned anything from the Polish tragedy?. When are our brainless leaders realise and recognise that the dice has been thrown , and act accordingly. A different time, a different place, the same reaction or the lack of it was the presage of a disaster that we are still finding hard to comprehend. And like then, don't count on heaven today to alter the events. Any pride?, any honor ?,wisdom ?
12. Deterioration in Israel -Turkey relations
Ron B. ,   Lod   (06.27.10)
The current Turkish government hates Israel because it is an Islamist regime. Note who its friends are: it cares nothing for the Lebanese people, it only backs Hizballah. It never has a kind word for the Palestinian Authority or Fatah, the Turkish government’s friend is Hamas. More at : http://xrl.us/bhorcb
13. Viva Erdogan. The Genie Is Out of the Bottle
Kemal ,   Turkey   (06.27.10)
14. Not new
Simon ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.27.10)
turkey said recently they wouldn't allow military over flights. This was a military flight, so they banned it. Next time they could fly Arkia to Poland and there would be no detour
15. You don't welcome their boats, so why welcome your planes?
lara ,   Australia   (06.27.10)
When Israel can attack a Turkish vessle in international waters and refuse any accountability for the killings on board, why should Turkey allow unauthorised air craft to enter its OWN airspace? Relationships with other countries are built on mutual understanding and respect. You showed them none and this is what you get for it.
16. NATO, the European Union and the United States and Canada...
Jeff ,   Ottawa, Canada   (06.27.10)
...are taking a note of Turkey's despicable international behavior, and the reaction, I trust, will not be long awaiting.
17. #15 Lara....I guess on a kindergardener level..
Rich in Boston ,   Boston USA   (06.27.10)
your argument makes sense...you attack our boat so we reject your plane. If you are capable (and perhaps thats not possible) to understand why the state of Israel stopped the boat: 1) because there is a navel blockade. 2) because hamas' governmental charter calls for the destruction of Israel. 3) because hamas smuggles weapons then uses them on civil centers 4) because the boat was warned not to run the blockade 5) because such blockades are lawful. 6) because those on board ship attacked the solderies as they attempted to board the vessle) one understands there is no equivalency. You are either incapable of adult logic or morally bankrupt...either way, nanna nanna boo, boo.....(that you CAN understand).
18. Turkey Soup...
Rich in Boston ,   Boston USA   (06.27.10)
Turkey and Ergogan are already in much hot water over their adventurism with the flotilla. Congressmen, Senators, State Department and DOD are all angry and its topic of conversation almost anywhere you go. Not looking good for Erdogan. There is going to be a hyperfocus on his activities with serious consequences attached. And it will be quiet at first you wont hear much about it in the news...Turkey will slowly be shut-off and denied more and more support (military/intelligence), until it is isolated from the West.
19. Iara Australia
david cohen   (06.27.10)
but Turkey could come begging for Drones, and Communications form Israel because it is afraid of too much dependance on Iran! Muslims know too well each others and have no trust in each others, i want to see turkeye getting spare parts to for their Israeli materials.
20. Excellent news!!
RJBH ,   Methil   (06.27.10)
21. Whats that in Erdogan's hand?
Rich in Boston ,   Boston USA   (06.27.10)
Its the bag Iran left him holding...push come to shove, not only does Iran NOT make good of its threat to send naval escorts...it reneges on its promise to send additonal flotila vessels. Erdogan looks like the IDIOT that he is. He's managed to piss of the west...his main sponsor Iran backs down...so what's in the bag Erdogan? Looks like a whole lotta nothing. Well played.
22. Rich #17
Resistor   (06.27.10)
Hey Rich, you are poor in your judgements. 9 people were assasinated in cold blood in International waters by the IDF. Turkey is only beginning to punish Israel, and the world will too. You behave like a spoilt brat, so now you will be shown how to obey laws. BDS
23. #13
(06.27.10)
we Jews are thanking God that the idiot is out of the bottle. THE MASK IS OUT. He played for 5 years the nice guy hiding his Islamist side and tried to fool the Europeans. he failed to do so. Dardum
24. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.27.10)
A Turkish boat would have welcome at an Israeli port. The Turkish vessel that attempted to breach the blockade was headed for Gaza, not Israel. By the way, you are either extremely immature or extremely uninformed. Actually, you are both. You don't spell very well, either .... is English not your native language?
25. Americans are becoming increasingly anti-Turkey
Thomas ,   Dallas   (06.27.10)
If Erdogan continues to make an enemy if the US, it will be the biggest strategic blunder for his country in the past 50 years. Increasingly, we see Turkey as an enemy here. Even Obama is starting to speak out. Good luck with Iran and Syria............
26. no sense
el judio ,   argentina   (06.27.10)
in israel most peoples think that any country that it against what the goverment is doing a terrorist. thats he view of the gov saying but doesnt kknow that people in any country like jewish. i have friend that are arabs,turk,palestinians and they are not anti semite..here we live side side do bussiness celebrate each other holidays.. r
27. This calls for a fiesta. Turkish delight anyone?
Nour ,   Palestine   (06.27.10)
28. Well done Erdogan
Kermit ,   United Kingdom   (06.27.10)
Most of you muppets need to wake up! You attacked a ship in INTERNATIONAL waters. Killed 10 people (including one teenager at point blank range). You confiscated all videos of the shipmates and put your edited version for show. Do you really thing the world believes you anymore? You even forged your "allies" passports to kill abroad. You steal land that does NOT belong to you. Build waals and torture their people. I have lost ANY sympathy for Israel since 2009. I pity the good people of Israel who actually want peace. But you muppets from the US and ISrael and your government want death and distruction. Everyone knows its Jewish money that controsl the states and the good people of Amercia and coming to realise this. Whats going to happent ot the spoilt brat (Israel) when daddy (USA) says "no more"? And before you start crying your "anti semetic" cries everytime someone speaks against Israel, it no longer washes mateys.
29. small world
sdc ,   can   (06.27.10)
soon your planes will not fly over any country but your own BOYCOTT Israel
30. :: Sarah BS - #24 - LOL!
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.27.10)
This is so funny coming from a person like you who has repeatedly stated some very stupid comments like: "he (Obama) has failed to deliver on a single campaign promise", "France is officially a Catholic country" and other such nonsense. And as for 'immature' do you mean like this? "Since you are not Jewish, your comments don't matter a fig", "Bye, bye little mouse" - Oh wait you said these silly comments didn't you? Sarah BS you are probably the last person in the world to criticize someone for being 'extremely immature or extremely uninformed' as you live in a glass house and we all know that you are a fraud who makes up silly stories with imaginary people because your life is so empty.
