Explain how they are weaker? All I see is Erdogan attempting to rally countries who were already pro-palistinian. And getting upset when he didn't get his way at the UN in regards to the flotilla incident. Now he has backed himself into a corner and already back tracked to some degree.
His threat to file a complaint with the international court of justice rings hollow. And shows his lack of understanding on how the court works. He also said he would file the complaint within a week which we still have yet to see. One reason is most likely reality has set in. How can Turkey who is not a signer to the ICJ (international court of justice) bring a complaint agianst another party who is also not a signer to the ICJ. as the courts own website says:
Declarations Recognizing the Jurisdiction of the Court as Compulsory*|*International Court of Justice
"The States parties to the Statute of the Court may "at any time declare that they recognize as compulsory ipso facto and without special agreement, in relation to any other State accepting the same obligation, the jurisdiction of the Court" (Art 36, para. 2 of the Statute).
Each State which has recognized the compulsory jurisdiction of the Court has in principle the right to bring any one or more other State which has accepted the same obligation before the Court by filing an application instituting proceedings with the Court, and, conversely, it has undertaken to appear before the Court should proceedings be instituted against it by one or more such other States."
here is a list of the countries signed onto the court.

What a long winded explanation for "god's chosen people of Israel" being so strong, ignoramus Israel has become weaker and not only do they know it but they are also very worried, none of the countries around the world can provide a defense against economic warfare to a country who's entire neighbors are hostile to it & with the Palestinian statehood vote most likely to be accepted very soon Israel will quickly find that under international law that they are occupying the land of a sovereign nation who unlike Cyprus is not guilty of ethnic cleansing (you dont believe me? look for recently unearthed British Cyprus invasion footage showing Turks in open air prisons being starved by disgusting Greek Cypriots).
It will be Israel who will face a legally justified economic blockade and possibly a military intervention in the future or failing that be reduced to pariah status despite their mighty propaganda machine, case in point for this situation is Armenia who invaded Azeri land and has had her borders to Turkey, Azerbaijan closed with Georgia providing little economic exchange & Iran itself is also considered a pariah state with numerous sanctions against her.
As many experts on geopolitics say "Israel will be given the new political reality of the region will be trying to reduce the fallout as much as possible".
