piet ,   cyprus   (09.10.11)
Cypriot Americans on holiday were killed by the Turkish army during the 1974 invasion and we are still waiting for clarifications from Turkey, so I dont think that Erdogan has any moral grounds to complain. I think its time for Erdogan to get some harem relaxation to calm down his overexited ego.
3. This Shgutz Needs To Our Voices Now
(09.10.11)
Since We The World Have Heard His islamojiadist Bullying All Week? Emmes!!!!!!!!!!!! Baruch Hashem/Shabat Shalom
4. Erdogan Has it Backwards
Dallas ,   Canada   (09.10.11)
A quick review of history would remind Erdogan that in 2006 Israel handed Gaza over to the PA and subsequently have been constant victims of Hamas' terror. Hence the blockade, the flotilla provocation, the attacks on the paintball-armed IDF, and the jihadi casualties who before the provocation documented their intent to become "martyrs". What is the mental disconnection which prevents Erdogan from understanding cause and effect?
5. Looney Erdogan
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.10.11)
It seems as if the Leader of the Turks is completely freaking out.
6. A low self esteem?
Erdogan thinks Turks ,   are lower class?   (09.10.11)
I suspect the "martyr" was there in order to created a US-Israel rift.
7. Erdogan slams Obama over flotilla
Orly ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (09.10.11)
This is the first time that a prime minister has the insolance to slam the President of the United States for not criticizing Israel enough over the flotilla to Gaza. Mr. Erdogan does not understand western values, and the fact that adults who look for trouble and killed as a result of thir own belligerence, do it in their own resposibility, and of the person who allowed the terrorists of IHH to sail to Gaza on the Mavi Marmara and use force and violence when boarded by the Israeli soldiers. As a result, 9 passengers were killed. As unfortunate as the loss of live is, this did not happen with any of the participants of the flotilla on other ships. Mr. Erdogan should understand that there is so much the European countries and the United States will put up with, despite their interests in Turkey.
8. Armenian Genocide
Yaacov   (09.10.11)
While we are at the court of The Hague we can deal with the Armenian Genocide as well!
9. Why should he reply?
David ,   Germany   (09.10.11)
There were no reason for Obama to reply because all civilized leaders know that most of the passengers on board of this ship were terrorist supporters. So why should Obama to have any interest in casulties of terrorist supportes?
10. CRY ME A RIVER
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.10.11)
You can always tell who is guilty, they blame everyone else, and seek diversion. So now Erdogan wants to take it to the Hague. When accused by the opposition party in Turkey of false charges towards Israel, what his his reply? "while criticizing elements in Turkey's opposition groups, whom he called "Israel's advocates." How typical of Muslim leaders, don't answer with intelligent facts. Just accuse them of being allied with Israel, and that ends the argument. Nothing more has to be said. So now he blames Obama of being a bigot, I guess. Just more diversion. What did he expect Obama to do, after all why should he get involved in another self inflicted, Muslim instigated problem.
11. Furkan Dogan
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (09.10.11)
The "American" Furkan Dogan was born in the US and moved to Turkey at the age of 2. When he went to join the Mavi Marmara he told his family he intended to become a shaheed. He got his wish when he was shot five times as he beat an injured commando with an iron bar.
12. ERDOGAN'S DERANGED MIND !!

14. now obama????
les ,   canada   (09.10.11)
erdogan, why don't you just seat on it? more you yep, more crap is coming out of it. what is your complaint? those murderous, fanatical barbarians set out to become "martyrs". unfortunately only a few succeeded. so stop whining, and get on with your dream, building the new axis of evil empire.
15. Erdogan, Erdogan, Erdogan
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.10.11)
He dispatched IHH jihadis on the mavimara for intentional provocation against Israel. He'd be happy as a clam if IDF soldiers died but to his dismay, they fought back and owe no apology for defending themselves. Since he got no satisfaction from Israel, he looks to blame the US. When will he look in the mirror and take responsibility for such irresponsible actions that caused death and injury to Turks and Israelis?
16. Actually...they probably had a hit order on the terrorist
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.10.11)
already. All Obama could say...was Rest in Peace. Now if he was an illegal alien....Obama would have granted him amnesty...and given him a new job...from his new jobs program. Just a hint Mr. Turkish President. Obama doesn't give you any special recognition or privileges...unless you sneak into the country illegally. Now if the Turk had been an illegal alien Turk....with fake United States identification........ Obama would have been fuming. Otherwise...he's just another dead Turk to Obama. Capish?

muslims are so stupid they never understand cause and effect. they also have no idea about consequences and never ever admit fault of their own. they have no concept of responsibilities for their own actions and behavior. thanks god israel's enemies are so stupid and ignorant.

21. Phony Tears from Erdogan
DavidM ,   USA   (09.11.11)
If Erdogan cared about the young man he would not have sent that ship to provoke a confrontation.He used the young man for his political purposes and then washed his hands of him when he was no longer useful.Erdogan has shed no tears for the Kurds killed by his bombs,the Greek Cypriots expelled from their homes by Erdogan's army, or the Armenians murdered in the genocide.Mr. Erdogan nobody believes your tears are sincere.

Ed ,   Canada   (09.11.11)
You are so right! I have worked in Arab countries for years and never ceased to be amazed almost daily at examples of their complete inability to connect consequences with their own actions. Consequences are either the fault of someone else or god's will.
23. erdogan of turkey
joel ,   usa   (09.11.11)
this man erdogan of turkey must be brought to a mental asylum center, he has gone mentally disturbed so seriously that he is blaming anyone who does not stand by his folly!
24. Erdogan, you're turning into a Hugo Chavez
Cameron ,   USA   (09.11.11)
Trust me, absolutely no one in the US gives a flying damn about a nutter who had to be knocked down. Good riddance.
25. Dear martyr, hell is a well deserved rest
Pepe   (09.11.11)
Why should Obama take an interest in one of the thug you dispached in order to kill. As an accomplice you are guilty for his death and deserve to be punished according to your islamic edits - not very accomodating You also provided the means to your pirates to achieve their goal. In hell they all deserve to rest. I am sure that you are perfectly capable in providing them with the customary contingent of whores that you keep for these special occasions. Asta la vista you Bum.

Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (09.11.11)
"What is the mental disconnection which prevents Erdogan from understanding cause and effect?" The same mental disconnection exhibited by just about every Arab/Muslim with regard to Israel. Should he ever get to take us to the international court then he should be reminded about the Kurds and also asked to acknowledge the Armenian Holocaust and recompense thevictims descendents. He might then think twice about acusing Israel.
