You sent them to die and they died. You now have how many thousands of homeless Syrians to tend to, feed, house, clothe.. Get busy. Try not to send more terrorists to break a legal blockade, okay, dummy?

6. Justified was the demand for a personal apology to families.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.06.12)
7. Turkish courts
Non-Jew ,   England   (11.06.12)
Since the Israeli naval blockade of Gaze has already been pronounced legal by the UN, and consequently any attempt to run this blockade is illegal, this action through the Turkish courts just makes the Turks look stupid.

many turks are over it, lesson learned! its just goverment tryıng to squeeze last drops of the subject Turkey should stop meddling in israeli relations thats our mistake thre Turkey should nicely escort remaining israeli embassy officials to airport Turkey should stop demands of apology and compensantion as its pointless and not wouldnt mean anything to any turks now, compensations to familiess are turkish goverments responsibility for they didnt try to stop civilians going to military zone in the first place to sum it up we are more at fault in this incident and it should be closed getting boring to hear this game
11. What a bunch of morons
Kobi Martin ,   Tel Aviv   (11.06.12)
How stupid these people are. I always ask myself if they don't anything else to do, like reading, sleeping, working... so useless people.
12. lightharry # 5
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.06.12)
It's not Israels job to get involved in Syrian affairs. It's a Muslim problem. There are plenty of Muslim countries that could do something. Let the Muslim countries Tango with each other. Israel has better things to do.
13. Last hours of Autumn. Winter iscoming n.week.Let them enjoy!
Obsessive ,   Turkey   (11.06.12)
14. And the sad part is that Israelis still go
Eric ........... ,   Israel.........   (11.06.12)
to Turkey for a cheap holiday,we should boycott there tourist industry.Just back from Rhodes great holiday good people and good food, try it.
15. Black & white picture
DanLondon ,   London   (11.06.12)
I think you'll find that the picture shows an activist just about to case his fishing rod out to see, and is NOT of a blood thirsty activist trying to beat someone to death. So says that Turkish legal system anyway.
16. #14 just
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (11.06.12)
Most Turks are good people. The problem is Erdogan who sucks up to the Saudis.
17. #6 apology
bos ,   uk   (11.06.12)
Yes an apology to the young Israelis who landed on the mamara carrying paintball guns and were stabbed, beaten, shot and thrown down large drops to lower decks or into the sea. The Turks tried to tether the helicopter to a moving ship for goodness sake! How many could have died from that!? Your view of the wider issues is irrelevant, if you think the Israelis owe any apology for events on that ship you are a partisan bigot or an ill informed idiot.
18. Erdogan focuses on Israel and the flotila
Jozef ,   Wroclaw, Poland   (11.06.12)
When next door Asad is killing thousands. We all remember Ardogan kissing Bashar Asad and huging Nasralla in Lebanon and now is sitting and doing nothing. What a shame.
19. EU should Boycott Turkish tourism industry.
Jozef ,   Wroclaw, Poland   (11.06.12)
Every EU citizen must boycott Turkey for its policy of backing terror against Kurds, Armenians and siding with Hamas, Asad and Iran.
20. to #5 from the Israeli side there r graffiti, but not
ghostq   (11.06.12)
violance. palis still shoot rockets on Israeli civilians.
21. have fun in the EU
courtney ,   usa   (11.06.12)
europe is idiotic to want Turkey
22. Similar mock trials gave Taner Akcam 10 years in prison
Yaniv ,   Israel   (11.06.12)
23. Turkey can further try Ireasl with more Mavi Marmara boats
sam   (11.06.12)
Rubbishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
24. Yes try Isreal with more Mavi Marmara ships
(11.06.12)
share sweets and raise more flags later.
25. Erdogan please read #10 anton from istanbul.
(11.06.12)
26. When this trial ends
ilter ,   Manhattan, NY   (11.06.12)
The suspects won't be able to travel overseas because Turkey will release their name to both Interpol and FBI as criminals.
27. TURKEY !
PaulS ,   Liverpool, UK   (11.06.12)
The question that should be addressed now is: "Is Turkey a viable NATO partner?", they have their feet in both camps now, surely that should be considered as a threat to the european countries security!
28. Combat between Turkey and Israel
Stephen in New York   (11.06.12)
Erdogan -and those who think as he does- will not be satisfied until there is combat between Turkey and Israel. This is all about the gas now, the gas offshore from both Cyprus and Israel and possibly other places. When it was recently announced that the Turkish leader intends to visit Gaza I wondered if he intended to go by sea. I do not believe that Israel would accept such a challenge to its security and sovereignty.
29. #5 - you mean Israel's self-defense?
William ,   Israel   (11.06.12)
Yeah, if we stop that there will be thousands of dead civilians on both sides. Luckily, Israel works to keep the peace against the terrorist "self-defense" actions targeting civilians with rockets. By the way, the Turks threw the first punch and most analysts agree the Turks justified IDF actions. Only sad individuals still claim their minority position is infact the truth.
30. Yes, there were crimes committed aboard that ship
Carl ,   USA   (11.06.12)
by the Turkish IHH terrorists! Just look at the photo accompanying this article for proof. BTW, I would not insult the adorable kangaroo by equating it with this charade.
