31. Ofcourse they're sending another flotilla
םכקל ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.14.11)
The last one was a SUCCESS!
32. Turkey's pro-terror campaign isn't going unnoticed.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (04.14.11)
Turkey will fall into the trap that all other enemies of Israel fall into - revealing their agenda and all because they themselves are blinded by the desire to murder Jews. Turkey is no friend of the west.
33. #11 Jacob, #29 anton
solomon ,   bklyn   (04.15.11)
#11 Jacob- I like it! #29 anton- Turkey should be kicked out of NATO for attacking a state that has cooperation with NATO. Old friendship between Turkey and Israel governments is long gone. Friendship between the peoples is beginning to be gone and your TB is an excellent example of why.
34. To N 4 and others.
Luiz Felipe Haddad ,   Brazil   (04.15.11)
Pedro and all Jewish brothers. It is difficult to desagree from your comments. Unhappily, Turkey has abandoned, each time more, the secular rules from her great leader Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk), whose tomb I proudly visited in Ankara, three years ago. Today, her government has the visible goal to support Arab Muslim radicalism; always hostilizing Israel. Because of it, the Jewish State must react through the strong and necessary means. But never forgetting the rule of law and justice. I salute you.
35. Don't be upset then when its impounded in Israel
William ,   Israel   (04.15.11)
If Turkey refuses to have anything to do with this flotilla, then it must keep its nose out of the entire affair next time. If Turkey opens its mouth and shows it is part of the affair, then it can be considered an indirect declaration of war and sued in Intl court for tacit support of illegal activities against a sovereign nation.
36. #22 - actually, we can...
William ,   Israel   (04.15.11)
one of the weird phenomenons with Judaism - because it is both a culture and a religion, it can be both secular and religious. Plus, secular means that religion is the not the basis for all laws and decisions, as it is in Iran. Besides marriage, death, and conversion, everything else in the country is non-religious. And those non-Jewish have their own religious departments to handle marriage, death, and conversions. It only seems complicated to the immature.
37. Then sink it.
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.15.11)
38. SIA = SEIZE, IMPOUND and AUCTION
GZLives   (04.15.11)
Boats are leased and insured. If the owners and the insurance carriers understand they lose the boats, perhaps it will provide the incentive for owners and insurers to change their behavior. Use money for more Iron Domes
39. flotilla
joseph wall ,   louisville,ky   (04.15.11)
Israel should notify flotilla ship owners and all passengers that by entering Israel illegally they are subject to arrest and incarceration and the ships seized and sold at auction.This is exactly what should have been done to the first flotilla and would have prevented the second on
40. Easy way to deter the boats
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.15.11)
Some vintage WW2 SEAMINES, planted just below the surface will instill considerable fear in the Flotilla, It would be funny watching the ships tip-toe through the mines without setting them off
41. Aremenia flotilla
Ron ,   Texas, USA   (04.15.11)
So if we organized a flotilla to leave Ashdod and sail to Turkey to support Armenians, they would have no problem with this civilian issue, right?
42. to 22
Barney ,   USA   (04.15.11)
Israel is a Jewish nation. Only the "palis" don't accept this.
43. I got it! Bacon grease
Rachel ,   US   (04.15.11)
Drench it with bacon grease!
44. IHH official said Turkish government does not
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (04.15.11)
Tell NGO s what todo. But the fact is in AKP s so called advanced democracy (ileri demokrasi) the government controls what books to be written and published (the book named Imamin Ordusu - Imam's Army by Ahmet Sik was not only banned before it was written the author has been jailed in Silivri) . Let's not fool ourselves; if AKP and Erdogan wanted to do so they could stop this flotilla. Just like they stopped columnists Emin Colasan and Bekir Coskun from writing at a high circulation paper like Hurriyet
45. 43-Did you say bacon? (ears perked)
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.15.11)
with sticky thick syrup...hmmm
46. Norway is supporting flotilla with money
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.15.11)
A newswire, NTB, has just now revealed that the official Norway is supporting the leftist/islamic flotilla economically. Then, Norways hostility against Israel, has taken another turn. The city, Hamar, has donated money from their official cultural fund to support the flotilla. A shameful act.
47. Buy life insurance before trip
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.15.11)
Between the Turkish jihadis, the Palestinian terrorists lusting for blood and Israelis who may still stop the flotilla, this is no love boat. Erdogan would be smart to avoid repeating the last fiasco.
48. Turkey the TROUBLE-MAKER trying to join EU!
Jouko ,   Finland   (04.15.11)
49. Hope
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (04.15.11)
I just hope that this time you will plan the action well and that there will not be place for any disasters, like paint ball guns or such stupidities. And remember, no matter what, the world "unbiased" media will condemn Israel. So...
50. what is wrong with it, to say, that bibi wont be in the coun
eporue ,   europe   (04.15.11)
try - probably... same as last time... "end of may" comes the flotilla, and "end of may" he wants to hold his speech at the congress... bibi away, and speech cancelled... (?)
51. # 29 Anton
Hal ,   Usa   (04.15.11)
I hate to burst your bubble bubbeleh, but Turkey under your Imam Erdogon is being driven in the direction of that other Imam, Ahmadinijad. Attaturk's vision of a Turkey looking westward is fading.Poor you. This latest hypocracy from your dear leader is more evidence that your move eastward is unabated. In your case, what doesn't kill you makes you weaker. If Turkey is so concerned with Arabs[palestinians], why was there no independent palestinian state during Ottoman times? Possibly because the Ottomans saw this area as a territory and not a nation such as Greece. Now your dear leader has latched onto this subject with the zeal of a dog to a soup bone. You must know that all of his efforts in this regard are futile and ridiculous. He that created Israel will never let your Imam Erdogon to succeed. Never!
52. Sounds like Misrata could use their help more
William ,   Israel   (04.16.11)
According to many reports, Misrata is really under siege, with a blockade on all fuel and food shipments into the city and heavy shelling on civilian areas by Gaddafi. Compared to this (and most other places in Africa), Gaza is a paradise with very little for want. If a Sudanese minister said he'd wish for a "Gaza siege" on his own people, it can't really be that bad, right? So why are these flotillas targeting Gaza? Because it's safer to go up against Israel than it is going up against Arabs - and they know it.
53. #47 Cyntiah - Insurace companies
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.16.11)
are NOT that stupid, They won't issue a policy for a person or vessel that's intentionally going into a war zone
54. STOP THE TURKISH TERRORIST
American ,   Los Angeles   (04.16.11)
Impose sanctions on Turkey for arresting journalists and supporting islamic terrorist organizations
55. erdogans flotilla!!
mark ,   t.a. israel   (05.10.11)
Erdogan Bey !!As a chief of state you are responsible of the lives of your crazy activists because this time also they will be some sehits(martyrs)if they do not obey the international laws . By the way since you pretend to be a good moslem why dont you direct this convoy to Lybya or Syria where they need urgently this aid. In Gaza nobody is dying from hunger!! Where is your famous declaratiion that a moslem do not kill another moslem !! Look at the drama unfolding at these countries !
