An international front to break the blockade on the Gaza Strip should be formed, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday in a phone conversation with Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, the Teheran Times reported.

“This criminal action revealed the real nature of the Zionists,” Ahmadinejad said, adding that now the approach of countries toward this outrageous action would be a “test for their honesty.”


According to the Teheran Times report Haniyeh said that Iran is the only nation that has always been on the side of the Palestinian nation. “We should try to revive the Palestinian nation’s violated rights and end the siege of Gaza,” he added.

On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki thanked Europe and the international community for the "harsh response" to Israel's "barbaric commando
operation," saying Iran identified with the "shahids" who were killed in the IDF raid on the Gaza-bound flotilla.


In the days since the Navy's raid on the Gaza-bound flotilla on Monday, condemnations have been streaming in from Arab countries. Messages of carefully-couched rebuke have been coming from Israel's allies, many urging Israel to include an “international element” in any commission of inquiry into the incident, Israel Radio reported Wednesday.
 
Now am really eager to see if Turkey will Violate Israeli waters ..

WW3 in the making....


Considering so many Nations are involved in this Row, if a War does start will it spread like fire ?

Though I too find doomsday theories entertaining my friend but for something to count as WW, at least more than 2 nations need to be involved.

In this case, who do you think will militarily support Turkey? Arabs? Any historical knowledge will clearly point you otherwise. Specially now with the Iran leanings....

Clearly it was a high stakes game and Turkey did not hedge its bets. Specially now with the high tenor of rhetoric, Turkey will find it increasingly difficult to get a respectable way out of this. The right wingers bit more than they could chew....
 
i dont think turkey will go to a military options, they simply dont need it and dont do it. but politically i am sure they gona play very smart, that can only be achieved by politicians and leaders like Gul and Erdogan and some others.

My take is that the smartest thing Turkey can do right now is to talk but do nothing. No matter how much some may boast about ship figures over the Israeli Navy, Turkey simply cannot afford to have a shooting fight with one of the world's most combat experienced militaries. No armed escorts. Nothing. The Arabs have proven themselves cowards. Turkey, who is trying to suck up to them, can do no worse.

Very well said. Neither Turkey meant any military action but alas Israel has proven its true nature of zionists. Turkey was helping mending ties between Terrorist State of Israel and Arabs but the former had ruined all by stinging Turkey
 
Thanks for admitting that the Arabs are a crazy people...:lol:

Well if that gets your high then thats what it is, how old were you again. Never mind.
It will not be a laughing matter if the sh!t starts hitting the fan.
 
India not convinced by Israel's action


India not convinced by Israel's action - dnaindia.com


New Delhi: After India joined the international condemnation of the strong arm tactics of the Israeli stateagainst the storming of the humanitarian flotilla carrying aid to the embargoed civilians of Gaza, the Israeli embassy on Tuesday went into damage control mode.

It sent out statements questioning the bonafides of some of the charitable groups involved in the campaign to take aid to the long suffering civilians of Gaza.

But despite Israeli’s attempts to justify its military action, few in India are willing to buy that line. In fact, the Indian government for the first time in many years came out with a strong statement against Israel. Demonstrations are also being organised in Delhi and other Indian cities to condemn the brutal action.

Israel now claims that the Turkish Insani Yardin Vakfi (IHH) or Humanitarian Relief Fund, a charitable outfit which among others have organised the flotilla has radical Islamic roots and is close to Hamas.

In recent years it has prominently supported Hamas (through the Union of Good). In addition, in the past the IHH provided logistical support and funding to global jihad networks,’’ the Israeli embassy said, fishingout past reports to justify Israeli action.

The embassy also quoted a 2006study by an American researcher Evan Kohlman, working in the Danish Institute for International Studies to provethat in the pastthe Turkish IHH had connections with al Qaeda and global jihad operatives.

Israel also claims that Turkish charity’s orientation is radical-Islamic and anti-Western, and it is close to the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas’ parent movement).

in my opinion, if india really cared for the Palestinians and really condemned this barbaric act committed by israel then india would have severed many ties with israel just like other countries have done!

Of course Turkey will not espouse the military option. They cannot and neither was that any part of the original plan. It was a huge miscalculation thinking that domestically with the increased identification with the conflict, some political rewards could be encashed.

And there is nothing else the Turkey can do even politically. They do not have any say in the Islamic world worth its name and no-one north of Istanbul gives a dime to what Turkey thinks.

So what way out will they find except for mere raising of rhetoric and finally hope that another bigger news drowns this out.
 
Well if that gets your high then thats what it is, how old were you again. Never mind.

If it is the Arabs who are turning on the fan, you can bet that the fan is facing them...:lol:

Why? What would severing of ties achieved? Let us take the case of Pakistan's approach here. What has the severing of ties by Pakistan achieved for the Palestinians? Was there any aid from Pakistan on these boats? Has Pakistan been able to contribute to the Palestinian cause in anyway with the "severing"?
