Turkish warships are also reported on the move towards Israel.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the international community not to accept an independent Israeli investigation into the lethal operation against the “Freedom Flotilla” to Gaza. He called the IDF action a “massacre” and warned Israel not to test Turkey’s patience.
During a speech before the Turkish parliament in Ankara, Erdogan said the flotilla was legal, and the operation against it was a violation of the spirit of the UN. He added that the unjustified attack against the flotilla was “a blow to world peace and against international law.”
Erdogan, who was applauded throughout the speech, went over the steps taken by Turkey following the incident, including the recall of the Turkish ambassador in Tel Aviv, the cancellation of three military exercises that the two states were supposed to carry out, and the return of a young Turkish basketball player from Israel.
“Now Israel has shown to all the world how well it knows how to kill,” he said. “People were killed and badly wounded, some from shots, even when bound. How human is this? There is no other way of explaining this to the world. All states condemn it, but this is not enough, we need results. People around the world need to know that one day justice will be revealed. If Israel does not immediately free all the detainees and wounded, the rift in relations with it will widen.”
‘Friendship strong as animosity’
Erdogan then attacked Israel, saying the operation was an act of piracy, and called on Israel’s citizens to oppose their government. “We expect the states whose citizens took part in the flotilla to respond to Israel’s unacceptable acts.”
Israel, he said, must stop using the excuse of self-defense to justify its behavior.
Erdogan emphasized that his country has never been anti-Semitic. He thanked the Jewish community in Turkey for its support for Turkey’s position.
“Turkey’s friendship is as strong as its animosity,” he said. “The Israeli nation must pressure its government to cease such acts. All detainees must be released, including parliament members and the 60 Turkish journalists. Israel will not be able to show itself in the world until it apologizes for what happened and undergoes self-criticism. It is destroying its alliances one after the other.”
Due to the flotilla events, Erdogan cut short his visit to South America and returned to Ankara. During talks with Chilean reporters before his return, he said the events were “state terror” and called for an emergency NATO meeting to discuss the escalation.
“This operation, which is completely against international law, is an act of inhuman state terror,” he said. “Don’t think that we’ll sit by in silence after such events.”

‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord GOD.

The iraeli attack was a clear act of war of a Nato member. Nato should immediately react and put an en to this terrorist state calld Israel. If Nato des nothing it means that it is al talk , no action It also mean that Nao is controlle by the USA, Israel’s big bother. Imagine what would have happened to Iran if thy attacked any essels n international waters. Israel should be taught a dire lesson!
Cowards all of you. Israel is nothing more than the second and third generation of trained Sonderkommando’s from Auschwitz. They know how to kill.
Turkish people are Semitic (comes from the word Shemitic)
Noah’s three sons. Japheth, Shem, Ham, for these three come the three races of Earth.
There are Japhethites = Aryan
Shemites = Asian
Hamites = African
#1 Latin, Slavic, Germanic, Celtic, Nordic are descendents of Japheth and are the 5 cultures who make up Aryan!
#2 Arabs, Persians, Hebrews and Jews are Asiatic and are the descendants of Shem and make up both Asian and Asian Minor,
#3 Africans are the descendants of Ham and make up African.
For proof, read Genesis chapter 10

@Ed Gein. Hey scum bag, just like Israel you have no legitmacy in this world, so keep your comments to yourself. Try using your wasted life on figuring out how to survive the coming Canadian collapse, you will soon know what it is like to live in desperation. Your name smells of Jew, so may I suggest you cleanse yourself.
you are a racist!
That fucking Turkey needs to be plucked.
