Erdogan to Israel: Don't test our patience
Turkish prime minister calls IDF's operation against flotilla to Gaza 'massacre', 'state terror', 'piracy'; says Israelis must pressure gov't to cease such acts.
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."
"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."
Now thats what I am talking about!!! I never looked at a President with so much respect in all my life but that has changed. I respect this man so much and want to say to Turkey you are lucky to have this man repersenting you as a great nation. Mashallah.

Erdogan is capitalizing on the Muslims sentiment against Israel. REASON is slowly sinking in Turkey's current leadership. Hopefully, Turkey will not cross the road toward political Islam.

People recognizing it is just too much influenced by jews. Even here in holland PVV which is more busy with helping israel than helping holland. Not to mention the pure racism it has. What is the biggest US lobby... AIPAC, and yes it cares about israeli interests.

Dude, our prime minister has said that he always cares about the protection of minorities like jews, alevi, christians, arabs etc.
We are not rasists like: middle ages, jews getting murdered in europe. Guess who is there to help: the islamic Ottoman Empire...
Again, we respect people as they are and always are there for justice.
Like in georgia, we were one of the first to help against russian aggression. What aboit usa? Who supports mass murder in gaza, iraq, afghanistan...
