61. Why are they even bothering?
Howard Immanuelson ,   US   (05.24.12)
I'm sure those individuals won't be traveling to Turkey, Israel probably won't even bother to reply to an extradition request, and it accomplishes nothing.
62. arm hamas
Wise One ,   Austarlia   (05.24.12)
Since Isreal support PKK, Turkey should arm Hams and Hezbollah
63. Isreal Will Lose
Wise One ,   Australia   (05.24.12)
Isreal will lose in a war with Turkey
64. not dead
bill ,   canada   (05.24.12)
aaahh; the poor idf was brutalized; at least the turks who were killed were not brutalized; lucky for them
65.  Very schizophrenic :-)
ariel ,   us of A   (05.24.12)
Modern Turkey wants to eat its pie and have it too:-) In the case of Spanish Jews, it fully assumes the mantle of the former Ottoman Empire. In the case of Armenians, it absolves itself of any responsibility for the death of ~1 mln civilians, because modern Turkey has nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire. So, Erdogan, are you, or are you not an inheritor of the Ottomans? Seems to me, you want to have it both ways. How very AC/DC:-)

israel and israelis are laughing at you and your insane idiot leader. your court of "justice"?? that is a turkish oxymoron since over 1,000 of your journalists and 200 of your military generals and officers now are in your jails because they oppose erdogan. some justice. no one listens to islamic sharia law justice. you are making yourself ridiculous and you embarrass yourselves in the international community. everyone is laughing at your stupidity. but, as we know, turks do not possess the biggest intelligence in the world. one has to only compare your "advancements in all science, literature, physics, medicine and the high tech compared to israel and see you are the the very bottom of the iq scale. pity you!
67. charge turkey, captain for running blockade. next time keep

ship.
68. Serious Question?
Abraham ,   Australia   (05.24.12)
If the international criminal court, ICC, actually convicted the Israeli soldiers of the charges against them from Turkey, would Israel actually turn them over for sentencing? Or would the government protect them? I would hope the Israeli government would protect them!
69. turkish crimes
Chris ,   Cyprus   (05.24.12)
I wonder how many life sentences Turkish politicians, commanders and soldiers should get for all the crimes they perpetrated in Cyprus?
70. Wise one from down under.
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.24.12)
Turkey invaded North Cyprus in 1974. It has been 38 years and yet Turkey still did not win that war since no other country recognizes Northern Cyprus except Turkey. Do you believe that wars are won on the battlefield? Wars are won and lost at the diplomacy table. When it comes to diplomacy Turks are nowhere near the Israelis. In fact in the past it was Israeli diplomacy that helped Turkey for example in the lifting the USA embargo to Turkey established after the invasion of Cyprus.
71. This reminds me of Turkish justice
Barry ,   Tokyo   (05.25.12)
From the movie Midnight Express. What a jolly group of lads those Turks were....
