Mine is bigger than yours? Bigger isn't necessarily better. Turkey just may find that out the hard (no pun intended) way.

I sincerely hope that there are still enough of those in Turkey who will eventually find it expedient to hang Erdogan and his wife by their feet and balls like the Italians did it to the Mussolinis - before it is too late.

Would that be an act of war?

The fall will be fast and with a sudden stop.

He threatened Cyprus with war. The blockade is legal, he got the report he asked for. Trying to break it over and over again is an act of war.

then but not with Barak as Defense Minister

All this was planned in advance, turkey wants to gain points in the arab world on Israels back

This schmuck Obama has no strategy in the ME other than "pressure Israel to commit suicide". Only a year to go before this incompetent a-hole is gone.

When Turkey turns against the West, maybe even militarily, can we in turn expell the 3 Million potentially hostile Turks from Germany back to their homeland? CS

...and feel the Booommm!! we know how to deal with bullies..

..and also is telling everybody that ,yes,Turkey is supporting terroris... Good to know....

The IDF will be having Turkish Delight for breakfast - shouldn't even break a sweat!

their pride is going to get them killed , they really seem to be brainless ?

This mister is grewing more desperat to prove he is a strong man, but he is not. He should jump up onto the branch in the tree where amahdinejad is already sitting..he is dangerous for the peace in the ME.

you are being silly!

its a piece of a cake. Cut the social aid and 50% of them will go back to Anatolia.

Such an act of war will result in no more Turkish warships. Against over 500 Israeli aircraft, plus the Navy it will be over in a matter of minutes. Then NATO will expel Turkey for launching a war of aggression and Turkey will be in real hot water.

Israel must lock and load its submarine fleet and get ready to rumble. Turkey has designs on Israel. Syria is in the throws of nothingness. Egypt is hungry and looking for a reason to strike. Turkey is taking the reins much like Nasser did in 67.

A bunch of psychopaths. how long will it take for the Turkish public to understand this fact. will it happen before the entire middle east will burn or right after.

I don´t think that the greeks, kurds and for sure armenians would also miss such a chance to get their revange on Turkey. Also do not forget, that the Europeen are very angry with Turks and their behavior. So I´am very optimistic about our chances and will join (thats for sure) the Zahal.

It is now clear that the Turkish government was likely complicit in encouraging if not supporting the confrontation by the MM Flotilla in their efforts to break a legitimate blockade of covert guns and arms running by the confrontational MM passenger/crews. Turkeys threat to send warships to try and break the Legitimate maritime blockade of Gaza demonstrates the militaristic confrontational AKP stance , and its desire to find a pretext to exercise its military muscle and/or leadership of the Islamic international block. More especially it demonstrates vividly the fragility of Turkeys reliability under AKP government as a constant and reliable member of NATO , when push comes to shove. It also casts significant doubt on Turkeys political fit within the EU. Finally if there were any shadow of a doubt that Turkey no longer represents an objective and trusted interlocutor in mediating and resolving Israeli palestinian issues, then this surely is the clearest signal. of that

how many have to die to whitewash his gross stupidity in ever allowing any garbage scow to attempt breaking israel's LEGAL blockade of a terrorist haven?

There is something worse than a politician with no brains, and is a politician with no brains and big mouth

what does he want to achieve ? The days of the rotten Ottoman empire are long gone...the time is high, for the EU wimps to wake up ! The world has no need for another Muzzie madman going on a rampage... Any idea coming from the US...??? I JUST WONDER...

Top to bottom, the insanity is just breathtaking. They're due for another earthquake.

Those who dismiss Erdogan's rhetoric as mere bluffing are fools. His verbal aggression against Israel is unprecedented and reminiscent of Hitler's own on the eve of every conquest that he had undertaken in Europe prior to the outbreak of World War II. The expulsion of the Israeli ambassador is an act of blunt hostility; the singling out and unprovoked harassment of Israeli nationals at Istanbul airport is no less hostile act which should leave no doubt as to where the wind is blowing as far as Turkish-Israeli relations are concerned. As I said in my earlier post, I hope that Erdogan and his entourage will be out of power before it is too late.
