What they did was an act of war and we have to appologize for defending ourselves and pay reparations?

Israel must apologize for the support given to the Turks in their illegal occupation of Kurdistan and the daily murder of innocent Kurdish civilians and resistance at the hands of the brutal Turkish forces. As part of the apology, Israel should offer to host peace talks between Turkey and Kurdistan which will lead to a retreat of Turkey from occupied Kurdistan.

Israel does not need to find weapons on the Turkish ships! The fact that the ship was sent to aid terrorists trying to kill Israeli's is in itself an act of war by Turkey... Turkey is lucky that Israel is calm and has ignored this act of war. Turkey now can’t handle being ignored, and the great relationship that is growing between Israel and Greece is making Turkey go mad. Turkey, you have made your bed – now, you may sleep in it. You want to aid the people who want to kill us, then do so with pleasure, but don’t blame us that we are no longer friends... Turkey is living in Jerry Springer land...wake up and smell the American & European roses

...people for having murdered 1.5 million of the members of this people in what came to be known as the Armenian genocide. 2) The Greek Cypriots for having invaded their country and expelled more than 300,000 members of this people after having occupied the northern part of Cyprus. 3) The Kurdish people for having mass murdered many thousands of members of this stateless people, deprived of the universally accepted right of all peoples to national self-determination and independence. 4) The Jewish people, for having refused Second World War Jewish refugees to step on Turkish soil while their ship, the Struma, was being supplied, and instead sent the ship[ with its human cargo back to sea to be sunk thus its passengers, men, women and children killed. 5) Israel, for having hired Turkish thugs to break the lawful sea blockade of the Hamas ruled Gaza and by so doing causing the death of Turkish citizens and the injury of Israel's policing forces.

It's November already, and he's still whining? How much clearer do things need to be made for this intellectually challenged "head of state?" No apology. (No need to apologize for engaging in fully legal acts to forestall an attempt to illegally run a fully legal and internationally acknowledged blockade.) No compensation for Turkey. (Turkey should pay compensation to Israel for allowing nine Turkish terrorists aboard a vessel that they knew would be interdicted and possibly injuring the lives of members of the IDF.) Seems pretty straightforward to me. Erdogan does not appear to realize that Israel is not all that interested in restoring ties with a country that is now fully in the Iranian camp. And his whining and harping are really rather childish, and unbecoming behavior for a "head of state." I guess he's learning from his new masters in Teheran.

never ever will israel apologise again.. if anyone should apologise is turkey and its moronoic "leader"! tfu!

he went against the wishes of the israeli government when israel and turkey DID have ties, and now he's asking for an apology after he asked for it? erdogan is completely responsible. his hypocritical policies are ridiculous. while he has a problem with the kurds, he dares chastise israel for its own handling of a terrorist/theocratic islamic government.

You got wake up

Videos document that citizens of Turkey committed an act of war against Israel, resulting in injuries to our soldiers. Israel should demand, non-negotiably, both an apology from Turkey and that Turkey pay the medical expenses plus pecuniary damages for injuries to our soldiers. Israel should serve notice to the world that we will neither behave nor tolerate being treated like the world's scapegoats. Stalemate with those who require us to self-destruct is just fine. Work to block acceptance in the Western world and to reward Greece, to help Armenians obtain justice for Turkey's genocide and to sympathize with all enemies of Turkey. Turkey must be made to pay a severe and unending price for their slanderous false propaganda against Israel.

"Israel" will never apologize for anything to anyone, because those who can apologize are normal human beings like us, but who believe that "Jews" are super human beings, God's chosen people, they're far above that.!!!

I hope that our Foreign Office realizes that Turkey under Erdogan Islamic nut-cases isn't worth pursuing.

Salma, Will the Arabs living in historic land of Israel apologize for their occupation, arrogance and terrorism ?

you know what salma the "palestinian" refugee... the only thing not in quotes with you is THUG -TERRORIST AND REFUGEE!! Have a nice life in Lebanon.

THIS CLOWN TO SHUT UP AND F#@% OFF !!!

Salma, are you admitting that the Jews are a people and therefore have a right to their homeland? Or do you mean "people" who don't have rights?

What do you and your co-racialists know about being normal human beings?

Israel will and has apologized in the past. However in this case there is nothing to apologize for. Moreover, it is Turkey that should apologise for aiding terrorists bent on killing Jews. I agree with you on your next two points though; 1) The Jews are G-D's Chosen beloved Children. Your hate towards Jews, the fact that you are constantly on this site is proof that you hate those that were chosen. 2) Yes Jews are super human, and coming from a Palestinian that brings s a tear to my eye, thank you for noticing. We are just the best, which is why even Allah will punish those who rise up against the children of Israel.

Turkey, these days, is on a roll. It's economy is in good shape. It's currency is strong. Foreign investments is rising and its army has been neutered. But nothing will erase its inherently criminal mindset. There is the Armenian genocide, the unforgiving eviction of a million Greeks, the slaughter of the Kurds with the occupation of their lands, and more recently the rape of Cyprus. And here is this ego-maniac sending his thugs on a flotilla meant to aggressively confront the Israelis - and he is the one crying "foul." But we know the truth, and he knows that we know it - just as any other interested observer who saw the videos (even with Reuters doctored photos) knows it. But plainly he remains one with the infamous adage about a lie repeated often enough.

Erdogen has boxed himself in real good. He isn't getting the apology he wants and instead of finding a way out he digs himself in deeper. Hasn't any of these idiot arabs realized that Israel long ago gave up caring about what other people say or think about it. When you live with anti semitism for 4000 years and live in the world of daily hate for being nothing more than Jewish then you realize ... why would i ever care what these dumb ass muslim haters have to say ... the truth is we don't. ... and its a shame the arabs don't get it, just read comment 11, another idiot remark that says nothing but hate. Kerry, Biden and the US Congress sent Erdogen a message that says move on for the sake of Turkey and NATO but since Erdogen has come out of the closet and now identifies as a Muslim hardliner he can't, all he can do is make more speechs demanding an apology and compenstaion, but he will never get it and he knows it. Einstein said stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. How stupid Erdogen is, only time will tell but based on this interview .... he seems pretty far from having a brain in his head..

I had so much to say... but #4 Ben-Israel pretty much covered it all. Good work.

The Turkish floitilla was warned from the start it would not be permitted to reach Gaza and were ordered not to come but they ignored. They were offered to dock in Israel where the cargo could be searched and delivered overland but they refused. They were there not to deliver medicines and food the main purpose of the trip was to break the Gaza bliockade. The troops boarded the ship armed with paintball guns thinking thats all they were going to need until they were attacked by a mob with knives and metal bars who stole guns and tried to throw soldiers overboard. If an appology is owed by the Israeli government its to the injured soldiers who sent them in with the wrong weapons and using the wriong tactics becsuse they were worried about what the world would think if these guys went aboard with tear gas & rubber bullets. Paintball guns don't do as much political damage unless of course your attacked by a mob and have to use live fire. Turkey owes Israel and the passengers of the Mavi Mara an appology for letting them sail. Turkey also owes an appology to the Armenians for commiting the first actof genocide of the 20th century. Obama also owes them an appology. Before he became a mulim loving president preident Senator Obama promised to get what happened recogized as genocide today he just defines it as an unfortunate incident and is calling on the EU to admit Turkey on the grounds it is an islamic state and it would send a good message to the islamic world that the west is not anti muslim. Of course Turkey also owes the Kurds an appology for invading their territory and killing their people which they are currently doing. Again the US must take its share of the blame on that because they are doing zero to stop it because they want Turkey on their side and as long as the Kurds are having to fight Turkish soldiers they will be to preoccupied to start talking about independence from Iraq. There are alot of appoloigies needed to go round here but Israel is not the one that needs to appologize.

i apologize that anyone here gave you benefit of the doubt that you are terror supporters with a drama queen for a prime minister. and i mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Is this guy a one trick pony or what? Hey idiot, Hmmm I mean prime minister, this case is closed. We all saw the video's. So drop it already. The flotilla was the biggest PR disaster for the Arabs and Gaza ever. It revealed that there was NO crisis in Gaza, and got all those pictures out ( Food Courts, Malls, Restaurant,Water Parks for the kids etc.) about the phony Gaza crisis, and everybody saw your guys start the fight. Add to that the outdated medicine and no real aid aboard the "aid" ships and buddy this Case is Closed. Only the most antisemitic believe anything about your false narrative of the staged flotilla. It was just PALLYWOOD PRODUCTIONS.

Erdogan supported the turkish radical group with materiel and money. IDF soldiers were attacked with clubs, knives and axes so defended themselves in a lawful boarding exercise. Turkey had no goods of value to provide gazans. So the bottom line is that idf had nothing, zero toapologize for. Turkey will lose from the islamic arabic erdogan policy. Europe wants nothing to do with turkey as a member. Erdogan, you want the arab world and iran, go ahead take them. just watch your back because the Turkish military hates you and will seize the opportunity to punish you for spitting in the face of attaturk.

Let Erdogan apologize to the Armenians, Cyrpus Greeks and Kurds.

Yes were sorry. Know get the #$%# out!!!
