Its Erdogan who is on a misadventure trying to position Turkey as a ME power player. Unfortunately for him, Turkey lacks and credibility and strengtht to back-up its hand. Israel, US and the west do not fear Turkey it has enough difficulty dealing with the PKK. Turkley risks expulsion from NATO...then what? Turkish people are that stupid.

International water has no relevance when siezing a ship attempting to run a blockade. Loss of life occured when the armed militants attacked the bording Israeli soldiers. According to international law, Israel acted accordingly. It may not fit your agenda but International law is quite clear on naval blockade and intradiction.

You are wrong on that 1st beg for forgiveness for 1 Million people your people killed and recognize it. Than make sure not to send all your beggars to Europe . Stop killing Kurds. And last but not least leave Nato asap.

Why everybody here calling US and Europe to expel Turkey out of NATO. It would be a shame for US and europe to listen israel and kick turkey out. and where does israel get its arrogance from to claim this. turkey has no problem with this countries. You step on israel`s toe and they are crying to the world. Just cut your relations with turkey ; we dont want your relationsip and you dont want ours then just leave it . after flotilla incident turkey has taken that decision and you are still moaning. turkey was giving its airspace to you now it is not. thats simple is that !

The Turkish Gray Wolves that you are so proud of are the Turkish version of the Ku Kux Klan. They are racist hating all none Muslims and Kurds in Turkey. They are blamed for the killing of Armenian journalist Hrant Dink.

Turkey was good friends with Israel when you needed Israel to influence USA to end the crippling embargo that was established after Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. That embargo made Turkish treasury needy to 70 cents to pay its foreign debt. All imports had stopped. There was at least 2 hours of electrical black outs all over the country for years. Now that Israel is going through difficult times you easily abandon your old friend. You are not a KARA GUN DOSTU. You are only friends when it suits your needs. This is why NATO should not trust Turkey. In fact NATO has been asking for some support in Afghanistan but Turkey has been flat out refusing sending combat support. What good is Turkey for NATO? Since you define freindship only when you have benefits, can you tell me what is the benefit of carrying Turkey in NATO if Turkey refuses to participate in the fight against Al Kaida or other Nato causes?

Turkey, the World's 16th largest and the 2nd fastest growing economy can do away with Israel; a nation with half the population of Istanbul. However the palm size Israel will be adversely affected significantly. Just ask the Israeli Air Force who run out of country as soon as they take off!

It is because of the unwavering, mindless support of the zionists by the "Christian Fundamentalists' like you that tiny Israel has been getting away with murder year after year! You are advised to think like an American first and then 'attempt' to defend the indefensible position of the administration of War Criminals in Israel! STOP betraying the U.S.A

'David Israel' a typical zionist from NYC supporting the criminal acts of tiny Israel ... how borish! Perhaps the US should consider revoking your citizenship since unconditional support of Israel even with criminal acts such as the one against the flotilla the US gets to be hated along with Israel! Are you a turncoat?
