31. Who do these pishers think they can threaten?/
Jay3 ,   ISrael   (05.21.11)
32. the bombastic turks are showing off again
Arthur   (05.21.11)
Can someone please remind this turkish idiot called Davutoglu, that our blocade is legal and that his stupid threats are NOT, and will not benefit Erdogan or the turks.
33. It's the settlers' fault!
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (05.21.11)
Really it is...we should never have listened to those so called leader's voices at Ofakim. We should have continued onward to Gush Katif to make it harder for the eviction to have taken place. Look at Gaza after Gush Katif, Israel has damaged internal wounds in our society, and Gaza has taken advantage of our stupidity by bombarding southern Israel with missiles, and misleading the world into turning the real victims us, into the culprits. Now we face a bigger threat, shame on us! We have to act together to overcome these dedicated enemies of our Jewish state,
34. I like turkey breast only.

LOL! First thing that comes to mind when I see the name. To the point... I was entertained by this comedic article until I came to this paragraph (by the writer of the article) ..."On May 31 last year, Israeli commandos swarmed aboard the Turkish flagship of an international aid flotilla bound for Gaza, killing nine Turks in international waters and plunging ties with Ankara into deep crisis." ... After reading that I came to the conclusion not to read any further (I did anyway against my better judgment). They should have a disclaimer above these articles explaining that it is 'irrelevant' (the article). That way I won't waste my time.
35. #7 Mark
Shlomo Kamera   (05.21.11)
You are one sick puppy! You are a brainwashed follower of Mark Regev. You constantly spew the propaganda that the Israeli propaganda machine want you to pollute the media with. The Mavi Mavara was independently checked, and shown to be carrying 10,000 tons of medical aid-wheelchairs, a complete dental suite, non-expired medicines, etc. Check the manifest documents , you moron. The diaspora does not swallow your crap, Mark. BDS
36. Israel vs Turkey
Brod ,   USA   (05.21.11)
Israel should warn Turkey and not the other way round. Israel should board it and bring it to Israel for thorough inspections.
37. to nu. 35

it's not what the pictures taking by your own people (IHH terrorists) shows. sorry' but nobody is foold by a jihad worriors undercover anymore....
38. #35 Abu-Shlomo
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.21.11)
No need to reinvent history. We saw the videos of jihadis preparing their weapons two hours in advance of the IDF arrival. These jihadis prevented an inspection of the ship and attacked the IDF. Expired medications were included in the shipment and much of what was delivered ended up warehoused by Hamas as surplus. If delivering goods to Gaza verses creating a provocation was the true intent, the Turks could drop the shipment in the Ashdod port as prior flotillas did. This is clearly a provocation. Turkey cannot impress the Arab/Muslim world with accomplishment so they turn to barbaric provocation of Israel. Then they cry fowl when it backfires.
39. How about saying that the flotilla people assaulted the IDF
BK   (05.21.11)
...only then did the IDF kill 9.
40. Big words from small and pathetic man
zionist forever   (05.21.11)
What exactly is Turkeys responce is Erdogan threatening if Israel boards the ship and some people are killed? I can just see it now Erdogan sending fighter jets and warships to attack Israel as a retaliation. Whilst boarding the Mavi Mara in international waters was legal at the time under the Helsinki Principles this time I imagine that if any action is taken then Israel will wait until the ship reaches Gaza waters. Maybe the navy could rather than board the ship they could damage something like the properlor so the ship needed to be towed. If they send commandos again then also arm them with things riot control gear like tear gas etc. What they should do though is send commandos to Turkey now and sabotage the Mavi Mara which will put the journey off by months.
41. i eat turkey every thanksgiving!!!

42. Kamera lying - Lying kamera
CC   (05.21.11)
Your BS is such colossal lies that can easily be refuted by pointing out that the Mavi Marmara is a pleasureboat with no menaingful space for any cargo! Dumbarse!
43. IHH is a political org. They are not aid org
Israel ,   Paraguay   (05.21.11)
should appear somebody to stop those ship motors and leave abbandoned all those 'peace activists' in the middle of Med Sea.
44. Fusion or FissionTake Your Choice
Noah Lev ,   HollywoodUSA   (05.21.11)
To Turkey: Israel has 200 to 400 megaton nuke warheads on 3 platforms (Jerichos, Dolphins and F15s16s) One bomb and your capital is history, 2-4 and your country is history.What would Ataturk say? You sided with the Krauts and lost your empire. You side with the Arab Pales and you will lose it all. Im telling Israel to target your warships if they interfere. If you send US made planes..our boys will shoot them down and then go after your airbases. Forget it Turkey. BTW,the genocide in the early 1900s was genocide. Its about time we Jews and Armenians remind you big time. To the Jewish Turks, get out now, before the mushroom cloudsappear.

46. Fake Jew, Shlomo Kamera #35: You
Robert Haymond ,   Israel & Canada   (05.21.11)
come on Ynet quite frequently masquerading as a Jew with your silly pseudonym. Just to let you know, we know that you are, in actuality, a Jew hater and not a diaspora Jew at all.
47. The range of agit-props
CC   (05.21.11)
From least to (relatively!) most reliable News Agencies: 1. AFP (French) 2. Reuters (British) Actually it's a deat heat; BOTH are notoriously inaccurate, highly biased propagandistic wire services, even to the point of iutright falsying stories and/or pictures (Mainly Reuters, see 2006 Leb war, injuries caused by the Mavi Marm jihadists') (In this group belong btw BBC, CNN, NYTimes, Gaurdian etc.) 3. AP (Associated Press; American) Take note that this piece was issued by the state-run French AFP lie machine.
48. DAVUTOGLU and his FLOTILLA !!
mark ,   t,a, Israel   (05.21.11)

49. Provocation?
Dallas ,   Canada   (05.21.11)
Typical of evil-doers - they try to mask their own acts of aggression and provocation blaming the victims.
50. To #48 Mark
GideonReader ,   USA   (05.21.11)
Consider this. If your Davuto were coming apart and you did not have any stout cord or staples; it appears to me that you would be very happy to have a tube of DAVUTOGLU on hand. That IS what holds the stupid together.
51. Never will happen
Emilio ,   Brazil   (05.21.11)
That will never happen. If Hamas end, whom Israel is to blame for the failure of the peace process?
52. Israel.....

55. #35; Shlomo, WRONG, I SAW THE...
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.21.11)
The manifest, while those things were on the six ships, 3 of the ships carried NO aid. Show us your source where the Mavi Marmara carried what you just stated. Good Luck, sucker. You've been played by the Pallywood crowd, how does it taste. You say I'm wrong, fine prove it! Here is a quote: "Cargo "Three of the flotilla ships carried only passengers and their personal belongings,[" SOURCE: "Summary of equipment and aid aboard the Gaza flotilla". June 7, 2010. Archived from the original on September 2, 2010. Retrieved September 2, 2010. SORRY Shlomo I proved my point, lets see you refute it. Even Wikipedia states that as a fact. You are the gullible one aren't you. You should be angry for the Arabs playing you for a fool. CASE CLOSED BTW HERE: "The flotilla was found to be carrying ballistic vests, gas masks, night-vision goggles, clubs, and slingshots" All banned items., Later jerky boy!!!
56. All of you Pro-Palestinian's windbags
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.22.11)
Don't miss the opportunity to sail on the Flotilla, plenty of empty seats available
57. No. 52, you are afraid of them, aren't you?
Marco ,   Spain   (05.22.11)
You are shaking in your boots when you hear the word Turks. They come to reestablish Ottoman Empire and oppress you again. Turks are good only against unarmed Armenians, Kurdish civilians and coward Arabs. If they dare challenging IDF they will be smashed into pieces, shown to be a paper tiger.
58. Kurds voting for Erdogan
Turkish_boy ,   Brussels, Belgium   (05.22.11)
80% of de Kurds in South-East Turkey (Kurdistan) vote for Erdogan! Watch carefully TV on July 14 (Turkey elections) and you will see this again. Erdogan gets the most votes in South-East Turkey.
59. Turkey warns Israel over new Gaza flotilla
nn ,   Norway   (05.22.11)
When the provocative flotilla no longer is in international waters, it just has to be stopped one way or another!!!
60. Turkey is instigating war against Israel ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (05.22.11)
and at the same doing more harm to the 'palestinian' cause - thanks to the likes of Iran and now Turkey the 'palestinians' will never get their state! Hurrah! We owe you Turkey in kind some day soon.
