31. #26 - you don't think their names are already known?
William ,   Israel   (11.06.12)
The Turkish prosecutors took names from public IDF websites and Facebook. They're charging people without any real evidence, which is why such similar suits brought by the Turks and activists have been REJECTED by courts in other nations. So - since there is NO global support for judicial action against the IDF, do you really think INTERPOL will issue arrest warrants based on a haphazard court verdict steeped in politics? You really think the world liberals have so much power to move time and space for their own agenda, while tramping all the laws on the planet? Some do - and I'm sure you do too. It's good you've learn to deal with repeated disappointments.

35. #34 - December? Is it a Mayan war?
William ,   Israel   (11.06.12)
Israel isn't under any new threat that Arabs haven't posed since 1919. same racism, same disregard for human life, same Islamic supremacy leading to thousands of dead civilians. The only new thing is the addition of young, naive Muslims who forget the past and believe they have some edge today in their racist wars. Notice that you're sitting in the middle between a nation seeking nukes and under sanctions, and another nation with a civil war and Turks getting shot at across the border. You're already in a war, buddy.
36. peace flotiila
Yan Sever ,   Kibbutz Moran, 20107   (11.06.12)
The 100 "peace activists", were simply terrorists, some of them with arrest orders on them. They were armed with letal weapons. Israelis landed on the ship with no intention of violence. The purpose was to check whethet the ship carries weapons and explosives. Were they not attaked and wounded, the 9 would stay alive. The Israeli sailors acted in self defence. This is the court od idiots, who try to, as many other morons, all over the world, to discredit Israel by half wit means.
37. Turkish hypocrisy
Ohan Balian ,   Ramallah, Palestine   (11.06.12)
If Armenians were to conduct a similar "hypothetical" court hearing, half of the Turkish population would "hypothetically" end up in jail. But in REALITY, 1.5 million Armenians were brutally massacred by Turkey in 1915 and no court hearing could bring them back to life. I am saying this as a Palestinian-Armenian. So please Turkey, don't repeat your hypocrisy by "protecting" Palestinians.
38. The terrorist ship.
Ege Berk Korkut ,   Turkey   (11.06.12)
I am living in a country called Turkey that defends terrorists on a terrorist ship and attempts to judge Israel that defends herself!
39. Sorry to see the Turks get so weak & wussy
Cameron ,   USA   (11.07.12)
Petty-ass symbolic stunt.
40. To: Stephen at No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.07.12)
Erdogan is just a little bantam rooster. A dying one. The blockade of Gaza is fully legal and internationally recognized. Unless Erdogan can walk on water, he will not travel to Gaza via sea. The last thing he wants is to be aboard a vessel forced to sail to Ashdod. Israel will not treat him like a head of state, and Erdogan is not quite prepared to be humiliated to such an extent. Erdogan is still smarting from the fact that the United Nations inquiry which he demanded ruled in Israel's favor. He's an arrogant and pompous ass, but he is not quite ready to be photographed escorted off a vessel in handcuffs.
41. #7 Not the UN
(11.07.12)
The blockade was pronounced legal by a couple of UN members. The world knows the blockade is ILLEGAL
42. #40 Sarah B.
(11.07.12)
Obama won! Ha ha ha!!!
43. To: No. 42
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.07.12)
Hoped he wouldn't, but thought that he might. News flash: The House of Representatives remains strongly Republican, and it is Congress that controls the purse strings. Business as usual for Israel -- if anything, the Obama victory will strengthen Israel's resolve. Do you find that funny, too?
44. #43 Sarah L.
(11.07.12)
You will always hide under your big sister's skirt. I find that VERY funny!
