Terrible mistake.

erdogan is only accepting "apology" because country is suffering economically since Israeli citizens STOPPED spending billion$ of dollar$ there annually... Israeli citizens, DON'T BE FOOLED BY nazi erdogan again!

When will the Turkish government apologize for the Armenian genocide?

Erdogan demanded Israels 1) PUBIC apology 2) Compensation and 3) the lifting of the illegal siege on Gaza; which was the main reason behind Israel's Piracy on the Turkish Mavi Marmara ie the summarily execution of 9 Turkish passengers, the seizure of the vessels, the kidnapping of the activists and the absconding of their valuables.

I was resistant to the apology, but it's like one fights with their woman. You know that you did nothing wrong, but she's mad at you. You can either say sorry and have a good dinner and make up sex or be stubborn or have her be angry at you. I think it was the smart thing to do as Turkey and Israel have always been good allies. I like the Turkish people and value the friendship we have. That said, well done Bibi.

don't interfere with the highway in the sky.

as they say in the hood- Israel their bitch now disgusing

We do NOT want or need her here in Israel.

Judea still a Roman province. Obama= 1/ Bibi= 0 for Turkey Obama = 1/Bibi= 0 for Iran Obama = 1/ Bibi= 0 for B.S.

We will not do it again. You can send new ships to liberate Gaza and we will just sit and watch next time.

I just wonder what Obama offered Israel to do this ?

Only Likud. BB ceded the first land of the first Jew with Chevron to those that come to kill you. He voted over&over&over&over again to order the destruction of those he serves by those who are sworn to protect same. He apologizes to the attackers of those who are sworn to protect you. He orders those who are sworn to protect you to instead destroy with his self proclaimed "Iron Fist" (Beit HaShalom). Likud has disenfranchised you over&over&over&over again and corrupted the oaths of those sworn to protect you and even betrays them when they do act to protect you. Your "leaders", Likud or otherwise have only usurped their authority to destroy you, disenfranchised you by implementing policies of the opposition when they were elected to do otherwise (Azza First Mitzna Plan). And even maintained the PMO without the benefit of election (creation of Kadima and Sharon remained PM). The Likud and state courts should have expelled the disenfranchisers. The leadership should instead of ordering the destruction of you in the land of your own name, enforced the right of return of those who come to kill you, the genocidal mass-murdering extortionists who should have their right of return enforced back to the homicidal Hamite peninsular homeland of their own name. That would be humane so you won't have to kill them when they come to kill you again.

He probably threatened Bibi.

Oh, that's easy. There will be a joint NATO / Israel operation against Iran, possibly Syria, and Turkey is necessary as a staging area. In addition, the United States will turn a blind eye to increased settlement construction in Judea and Samaria and Israel's eventual annexation of both those nonsovereign territories. Of course, it goes without saying that the Arab residents of Judea and Samaria will be repatriated to Jordan, country of their citizenship. The United States will use its veto power in the Security Council to thwart any efforts to sanction Israel. By the way -- you need to pay close attention to what Netanyahu actually said. He did not apologize for the raid on the MAVI MARMARA, he apologized for the attendant loss of life. I can live with that, just as Erdogan will have to live with the fact that the Palmer Report, while calling Israel's use of force "somewhat excessive," also asserted quite plainly that Israel's blockade of Gaza is fully legal and internationally recognized, and that the State of Israel was well within its rights to thwart any attempted breach of its fully legal and internationally recognized blockade. Erdogan's learned his lesson, I think. There will be no more Turkish-backed adventuristic attempts to violate the blockade. He's salvaged some pride in that Israel regretted the loss of life aboard the MAVI MARMARA -- while stopping well short of expressing regret for the raid (after all, let's face it: there was no so-called "humanitarian" aid aboard the MAVI MARMARA -- a dozen packages of expired over-the-counter medication and a handful of mouldy blankets do not constitute "humanitarian aid" -- but Israel will pay a small pittance to the families of the deceased terrorists. In return for what the United States and Turkey are going to concede: not a half shabby job, Prime Minister Netanyahu. Not bad at all.

A huge move from Israeli leaders. Now it is time to apologize for the excesses of the occupation committed by the IDF in the State of Palestine.

Israeli citizen who's been trying to fight the global intellectual Cossacs trying to gallop over us in the press and media: One action of our OWN PM puts it all into a dustbin. Well thought out Bibi :-( I don't think we can/want to win, it's obviously not in us: the Eternal Wondering Jews...

Why were these "civilians" all carrying tire irons? No one ever comments on the brutal attack by several "civilians" on ONE lone, downed soldier with these tire irons. Appologize?

D Only intense psychotherapy can help you, maybe. 12 your brain has frostbite. To normal readers, this is all much more than 'kiss & make up'.... The big picture for both countries has only to do with Iran & Syria....both Turkey & Israel need stealth military calibration and coordination to meet the inevitable threat those two pose. Shalom, hag sameach.

they might be struggling economically but not because the lack of Israeli tourists. generally speaking, israeli tourists are known to be cheap: they like a place that offer lots for little. e.g., Turkish resorts. Besides i don't thing the Turks are too eager or keen on having israeli tourists back due to their lack of manners and appreciation of the place they're in. we've all heard the horror stories about israeli tourists :)

express its regret, for the 750 jewish victims of Struma ship ? In February 1942 turks rejected to let entering refugees to Istambul, instead they were sent back to nazi areas. The ship sunk all passengers died, except a single person.

Is this the Fruit and Offspring of Obamas Policy ? For what Purpose did the Israeli PM this ? What will Israel gain from Turkey over this ? No - No - and No - the Israeli PM has made a Disgrace of Himself and Israel. HASHEM will surely not approve of this. For whatever purpose the Israeli PM did this, He has Shot Himself in the Foot, and discuraged the Good Forces in Israel. Arn.Sweden.

No way Netenyahu says this without something in return, most likely it is the release of Pollard, which I say is a dumb decision

Israeli leadership haven't a clue, and neither do the people! In God's prophetical Word it predicts (guarantees) that Turkey will join Russia, Iran and some other named nations, as they will attack Israel in the coming, soon, fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39. It's going to happen! The, mostly, secular Israeli populace doesn't deserve God's mercy, but because of His faithfulness and promises to the Patriarchs, they will get His protection anyway. Instead of trusting God, the Israeli leadership looks toward flawed and godless men, like the anti-Semite Obama. It's a disgusting display of idol worship and a slap in the face of God! As God says: a rebellious and stiff-necked people! God deserves better from His, so-called, chosen people! I love the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and, I will only serve and trust in Him: my redeemer and Savior!!! May God have mercy on Israel! A Christian Zionist

She attacks again with the shtuyot of Jordan is Palestine. Israel has just an Arab partner in the region, who is Jordan. Instead of thanking this country for not creating problems to us, those freaks from Brooklyn do exactly the contrary: they instigate and provoke Jordanians with stupidities like this so-called Sarah B, the Freak. Thanks King Abdullah for controlling the borders and not creating us any problem. Jordan is Jordan dont worry. Palestine is Palestine.

"Erdogan learned his lesson" ... ahahaha. Israel apologizes and is Turkey that learned the lesson.. LOL LOL.. I will reproduce this quote in Turkish newspapers here and try to organize a huge flotilla to liberate Gaza. Let's see who learned the lesson, Sarah B.. Please tell us another joke.. LOL AHAHAHAHAH

How about the rest of you? This is the time for civilian protest against a country/government that obviously lies/hates Jews/Israelis. The best way to protest is in the tourism business!

suppose one day Armenia grows to become a powerful economic and military ally of the US. Only then will Turkey issue an apology. At the end of the day it is America that decides when and how every piece on the chess board moves.

Please DO head for Gaza and see if you make it alive. Idiot.! Turkey needs Israel or Turkey wouldn't have screamed, stomped her feet, and pissed her panties. Erdogen's still a giant ass hole.

the fake karen, the new fake chris from germany, all handiworks of durson, whose specialty is identity theft of genuine posters. shame of the thief.

has always the best laugh. You guys try again to enter Gaza with your so called activists and Israel will just sink the whole ship. Erdogan was warned! Now that would be a good lesson for guys like you!
