Israel Hijacks Aid cargo, executes hostages - Pak journo, Talat Hussain taken hostage

Its ok brother, your English was more then perfect as you made your point loud and clear. So what is the reaction like there in Turkey at present. How are people and the gov taking the news. I read where they have summoned the israeli ambassador.

As you can imagine people are really angry right now. In Ankara people are protesting in front of Israel embassy. Israel ambassador hasn't left his home yet. In the news there is a rumor about Turkish battleships is moving there.

Also yesterday our Iskenderun harbor is attacked by terrorists and six of our soldiers died. I don't think this is a coincidence.

Here is a few pictures of Israel attack on the ship: Yard?m gemilerine ?srail böyle sald?rd? foto galerisi 1 - 31 May?s 2010 Pazartesi

Common on dude try to be some bit realistic and optimistic.

Realistic & Optimistic ? You are optimistic and he is realistic . What did the organisers think will happen when they essentially challenge Israel's blockade? If blockades were so easy to break, then there would have been no blockades at all. Forget the moral dimension (where I in fact agree with most of you), Israel was never going to allow this to succeed and the organisers would have known that. It was meant to be a media event(why else would there be a reporter on board) which turned out badly in the end.

Most people knew including the people on the convoy would be blocked. The issue isn't this it is the fact that the Israeli military not only blocked the convoy but killed people on it. This isn't going to go well with Turkey at all.

Actually, both of you asked me questions "Who gives the Israelis the right to stop people from having food" and there were a few more.

Also i am NOT defending the Israelis. You have misunderstood what i am saying.

I am simply explaining the situation to everyone.

Since when is explaining the situation seen as defending someone?

Just say you robed someone and then i explained to a police officer what happened. Would that mean i'm defending you? No, it means i am just simply explaining what happened.

I ask that you read what people write carefully and do not get the wrong end of the stick.

I understand. But condoning to use live ammunition on unarmed civilians? Well in all honesty you should have also mentioned the back story where much worse has been done to them before. At least they didnt ignite the boats with phosphorous this time.

I really think it will be a good step for turkey to move its naval vessels in there. I am sure they will think twice before hitting something that can hit back.

Come on Force dont you know they are the Gods chosen people survivors of Holocaust, indias and wests allies. How can they even closely be wrong. Even if they do something in the international waters. Using live Amo, how come they forgot to sink the ship. Didnt the ship owners know better, that its the Israelites, the only demo crazy in the ME. The defenders of the west.

Israel attacks aid convoy, killing at least 16 activists​

Israeli naval commandos brutally attacked an international aid convoy intending to bring humanitarian supplies to the long-besieged Gaza city and killed more than a dozen civilians while the convoy was sailing on international waters.



Early Monday morning, as it has threatened several times as the aid flotilla set sail for Gaza, Israel intercepted the convoy of vessels carrying hundreds of activists from around the world and some 10,000 tones of humanitarian aid, possibly causing an irreversible damage to Turkish-Israeli relations, foreign ministry said in a statement released a few hours after the attack.

International community has earlier warned Israel not to engage in an offensive on civilian vessels full of peaceful activists whose aim is to break the three-year-old economic blockade on Gaza which has severely plagued its people.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in front of the Israeli consulate in İstanbul to show reaction against the violent intervention. Thousands of Gazans who were expecting a helping hand from committed civilians but later learned of the attack also gathered at the port of Gaza, carrying Palestinian flags and banners read “End to Israeli persecution.”

“We were not expecting such an operation in international waters,” Ömer Faruk Korkmaz, an official of the Humanitarian Aid Association (İHH) that led the aid shipment in Turkey said. “Israel has been caught red-handed and the international community will not forgive it.”

Korkmaz said the ship was being escorted to Haifa.

“I was expecting an intervention,” said Murat Mercan, Turkish parliamentary Foreign Affairs Commission Chairman. “I was not expecting bloodshed, the use of arms and bullets.”

“Israel is engaged in activity that will extremely hurt its image,” he said.

Turkey summoned the Israeli ambassador to the foreign ministry to discuss the incident.

“Israel has clearly indicated once again that it snubs human life and peaceful initiatives by targeting innocent civilians. We severely condemn Israel’s inhumane practices. The sorrowful incident that occurred in international waters and constitute a grave violation of international law may lead to irreversible consequences for our relations,” read the foreign ministry’s statement, adding that Israel will have to stand the consequences of its intervention.

Turkish ministers and high-level officials convened at the Prime Ministry in Ankara following the Israeli offensive. Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınc, Interior Minister Beşir Atalay, Prime Ministry Undersecretary Efkan Ala, General Staff Operations Commander Gen. Mehmet Eröz, Naval Forces Vice Commander Adm. Nusret Güner, and bureaucrats are participating in the meeting.

Anyone following the story for the past 2 days would realize that this was nothing but a media gimmick. Why else did they have an 'Al-Jazeera' reporter on board, go via the sea route and challenge Israelis head on? If they wanted to 'help' the Palestinians, why not go thru Egypt?

 

[Icarus]

Way to go Israel, they just screwed up their relation with the only pro-Israel muslim country in the world, this will have serious consequences, I'm hearing that turkey is mobilizing it's navy ???? Turkish brothers care to confirm ?

 

[pkd]

Let's see with what logic Israel defenders comes up with to justify these crimes against humanity.

And dont you know that the Egyptians dont let any one through unless and until they are authorized by the Israelis. The only possible route that was available was through sea, and what gives the jews the right to stop the food from going to Gaza. Just because u are an indian its not ur duty to defend israel try being a human for a while.
And if you had read the news with open eyes there were members of parliaments from European countries, and also volunteers. And the only reason to take media with them was that first of all to create some pressure on the israelies, and secondly to document every thing. Other wise we would have had a statement that Hammas was on the ship and using people as human shields.

 

[Fireurimagination]

This was bound to happen, what did they expect? That Israelis will welcome them with bouquets. People should quit being smart pants and approach things practically
