SKYNHEILIG - A South African Afrikaans word meaning ..... a person with prejudiced views who does not tolerate the opinions of other people

He has no interest in friendship with Israel. The commission found Turkey at fault, and he is simply using stalling tactics. A pronouncement such as this is solid proof of his intentions. He pleaded for a grace period before publication of the report, to provide more time to negotiate, then promptly the next day he does this? The creature is a terrorist at heart. Bibi: Tell Palmer and Ban talks are over, and to publish the report. Israel agreed to this commission under protest. The fact that the findings are not what he was hoping for, does not give Ban the authority to withhold the report.

Why should we apologize for YOUR terrorism?

despite the Palmer Report (even though it is a UN report), Turkey has the same demands. The current administration lacks diplomacy, acts uncivilised, and yearns for the days of the corrupt Ottoman Empire. Is should shove this report up Turkey's nose (or is it beak?)

Erdogan reminds me of Otto, the Kevin Kline character in 'A Fish Called Wanda'. Otto ultimately got his groverling apology after hanging John Cleese by his ankles out of an apartment block's window. In this case, there are no ankles, no windows and no reason to apologize. Shabbat shalom to all.

Why the hell should we apologize. Erdogan is the guilty party. Is it because Obama wants it?. He is not even capable to run his own country, let alone give advice to others. Bibi would be a fool if he listen to him. It would be a disaster for our country.

its funny you think thre are turks who are still in favor of israel dont apologize we are good this way :) Erdogan want his apology for his personal reasons, we dont... keep it 21 its not about erdogan and israel anymore its about turkish nation and israel, erdogan will be gone one day nothing will change one last thing whats this obsession about turkey whatever any turkish official says becomes a news here :)

Erdogan can say whatever he wants about "he will never normalies relations", balblabla. Meanwhile there was obvious behind the curtain work about making the new UN report and tourism is kicking back in. Turkish initiatives to increase tensions stopped for a pretty long time now and I bet weapon deals will be back soon. I really feel bad for the Armenians, Greeks and Kurds though... If turkey will be a regional power she will need to solve the Cyprus and Kurdistan issues so lets hope it happens soon.

I hope Israel will not stoop to such a depth by apologizing to the turkey of Turkey. Forget the twit, Israel, and move on!

keep on dreaming

Don't call us, we'll call you... NEXT

turks use these tactics everywhere to boost their beaten self-esteem and appear powerful -they do the same with europe-- nothing but overblown pride, demands, even threats. erdogan still thinks he rules the ottoman empire.

Israel and Turkey are not enemies. Enemies of Turkey wont be happy with normalization. I don't care them. Erdo is sick, Erdo has mental problems. Just help him please as Washington did. But if you apologize, Erdo will be out of control again same as Chucky.

KISH MIN TUCHUS

Firstly it would be an admission of guilt on Israel's half and saying we had no right to board the ship ( under the Helsinki Principles it was allowed ) and we were wrong in killing your people. It will pave the way for whole host of law suits which will cost millions and it will stop us boaridng ships in future. Its also going to be like saying the blockade of Gaza is illegal and so we will come under real international pressure to end it. There is much more to this than a simple I am sorry

Got to hell. You can wait till your new home freezes over!

First of all. Israel don't own an apology to no one. Our soldiers did everything they can to protect or save everyone on that boat but instead it was those tugs who attack the soldiers and almost killed them. So they did everything they can to protect themselves. I don't think our soldiers mean to harm or kill anyone on that boat. Secondly, It as provocation from Turkish to send that boat. Israel placed security policy for everyone to follow and Turkish thought that they can just come and undermine Israel security. I don't think that the Turkish Pm is angry on casualties, I think he angry because Israel showed it's determination to protect it's people or border and he can't handle it. Israel is the one who deserved an apology from Turkish government to begin with. I hope no one from Israel government show any kind of weakness and apologize to Turkey. If we do that, that mean our soldiers sacrifice did not mean nothing. we have to preserve to protect the dignity of our soldiers sacrifice and security of state of Israel before anything else. Thirdly, It has been said before and I will say it again. Turkey is the last country to teach Israel about morality. If the Turkish government know the meaning of an apology, I think we all know that, Turkey have to use that word to Armenians first and pay their do's for what they have done to them. Somebody need to send a English dictionary to Turkish government to help them understand what an apology means. May God of Israel look after State of Israel.

Oh geez.... Truly pathetic.. Israel should just ignore this guy. He reminds me somewhat of Hugo Chavez (grandstanding with Israel as his prop.) Again Israel must apologize for defending herself... Not worth responding to.

From the entry in the Brittanica online, it is clear that Armenia could greatly benefit from a friend. With both Israel and Armenia both having survived genocide, it seems not just right but important that the two countries become friends.

You have to be extremely ignorant and biased to think Turkey needs to apologize. And stop with the claim that the activist attacked first. #1 If they did, why did Israel take all the camera's from them. #2 If they did, with weapons, why was not one IDF soldier killed. Face the truth. The IDF stormed a foriegn ship, in international waters, and killed 9 of the unarmed activists. Keep your hasbara to yourselves.

worthless whether he gets one or gives one--interests are not about hurt feelings or false pride...as a head of government he must be taken to knowthis even on a 'bad hair' day' so common to islamics

Who the hell needs Turkey? Politically incorrect as he is(bravo btw),let Lieberman loose on these idiots..they'll run to their rat holes in typical arab fashion.

After the 6days war Efraim Kishon wrote Exuse us that we won.And all of us,togather with the world laughed. do you remember? Andi mihakfar
