how indian govt can condemn the attack
it has the same policies as that of israel
both are zionists
Israel should lead investigation into attack on Gaza flotilla, says US
That would be clean and clear......

Force a blockade lift. That seems like the most obvious.
Israel is already losing on the world stage. As more and more ships start heading for Gaza decisions would have to be made on the Israeli side. All Turkey has to do is keep sending more ships off Cyprus. Also if other places start sending ships it would make it even worse for Israel. It could actually lift the blockade pretty fast.
Then why did Turkey denounce Hamas for the illegal takeover which in effect is the reason for this continuing blockade. Has anything changed? Has Hamas retrenched? NO.
How about the reason being more domestic politics than any new found love for the Palestinians? Possibly a more religious tinge to the current socio-political fabric?
But I thought that the decision from the Israeli side on this subject has been crystal clear since 2007!! This was not the first incident with an aid boat in this regard.
And it was not an effort backed by the Turkish government. It was an effort from the right wingers a.k.a the religious extremists.
In any case, do you really think that if Turkey sends the Navy then Israel will allow the aid boats to go thru?
I mean it was a provokation and both hands involved are burnt. The risk-return is adverse for Turkey in following this up. What do you think?
The question should be the other way around: Can the Turk Navy handle the Israeli Navy? It is Turkey who is trying to suck up to the Arabs that is trying to provoke Israel. Israel have no need to provoke Turkey into a war. All Israel has to do is wait and see if Turkey is willing to violate Israeli territorial waters with a Turkish Navy ship.I don't see why they wouldn't taking action against them would be a bad move with the navy there. Does Israel really think they could handle a military conflict with Turkey ? Do you think they would risk that ?

You have to look at it this way. Israel is not sending its boats to a matter that is a thorn to Turkey. Say for example, they are not sending boats to Cyprus.
It is Turkey that you are thinking will send the navy to disrupt the blockade. So you would anyway expect Israel to react and resist. Agressor will be the Turkish Navy and not the other way round specially with the clearly stated positions.....
So will Turkey risk a conflict situation for a cause to which they have not shown any great love till recent times and a cause which is more motivating for internal domestic political purposes rather than any international supremacy objective?
Who wins what is a different matter. The point is, will Turkey risk a conflict by actively pursuing it (sending navy)?
This make no sense. If Turkey is going to provide armed naval escorts to the next 'aid' fleet, why stop at the border? All Israel has to do is wait until this 'aid' fleet crosses into Israeli territorial waters and board them. How would that make Turkey's image to the Arabs, whom Turkey is trying to suck up? By providing armed naval escorts, Turkey is saying to the world that "We are taking responsibility for the group's safety. But only up to a point."Turkey won't provoke anything. We know how to play our cards. If the new convoys are escorted by naval ships you can bet they won't cross into Israel waters. If Israel decides to react before that it would be against the law once again and would give Turkey full rights to take military action against Israel. Which would one force Israel to lift the blockade or two go to war over it which risking would be insane for Israel.
