Report: Erdogan considering visiting Gaza to 'break blockade'

don't afraid man. you have got (Li)Doberman. He can hurt him..

The fact that they, and the world, base themselves on lies, THAT THEY KNOW ARE LIES,, in order to destroy Israel is indeed frightening. This may go down in history as the victory of lies over truth. Suddenly, morality will cease to exist. I see no way out of this terrible situation....

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan ,a special thank you from the illegitimate Iranian government,you have made it so easy for Moslem radicals to take over Turkey > Bye-bye Western,p[rogressive,democratic Turkey,hello radical extremist anti western,oppressive and in the end poverty strickenm opprsssed Turkey .

But no doubt he and his navy will be crushed.

Erdogan is forgetting that the country is ruled ultimately by its military leaders, who can through out the government and the parliament if they see that secular society is under threat. That has happened before and will happen again.

This guy Erdogan is the Hugo Chavez of the Middle East. Israel might be better off distancing herself from him; and if necessary boycotting Turkey altogether until there is a change in govt there.

And Netanyahu should visit occupied Northern Cuprus and Kurdistan.

I'm writing from Turkey. This news is an huge lie. This report is intendend to distrupt the relations between Turkey and Israel.

Isn't Turkey the occupying power in northern Cyprus? And isn't that just one of the reasons why many member states don't want Turkey to join the EU? And isn't another reason Turkey's decidedly less than humanitarian human rights record? Despite his other failings, Sarkozy seems to have a very sensible perspective on the Turks.

He might be dumb, but would he really enjoy to shake hands with Hamas leaders? This guy wants Turkey in the EU. How should this work then? He won't have the guts to do this.

go kill some more Armenians. Better yet tell your cousins in the hamas to release shalit and the siege will end. we will SINK your naval ships... know that.

To send a military flotilla to break a blockade against a closed military zone of another nation is under any legal definition an act of war. Gaza is not an independent state and is not recognized as possessing sovereignty. Under international law, Gaza and its coastal waters fall under the military jurisdiction of Israel. Erdogan is a cheap political trickster who is way out of his league. I am sure that the Turkish military has no intention of pulling off this stunt, knowing full well that a military altercation with Israel - and perhaps the United States - will not go well for them.

So 9 people got killed! And Hamas Blocked the goods which was given by the Israelis after the security checks. So how much indeed is Gaza of these goods? And is Hamas really helping its own people? I think Hamas does not care about the people and their needs. Just like Erdogan, Hamas wants war! Be careful Erdogan! You are tricked or you really want this to happen!

he is trying to start a war with israel! the guy is a lunatic. israel must act first before this so called "friend" of israel escalates things beyond control. israel must also go to the EU and NATO and the US and tell them the fact -- erdogan is no friend of ours, and he will be no friend of yours.

A small extract from amnesty international 2009 report not even talking about 2010: "Human rights suffered in the context of political instability and military clashes. Reports of torture and other ill-treatment increased, while dissenting views were met with prosecution and intimidation. The right to freedom of peaceful assembly was denied, and law enforcement officials used excessive force to disperse demonstrations. Anti-terrorism legislation was also used to restrict freedom of expression. Unfair trials persisted especially for those prosecuted under anti-terrorism legislation, while barriers remained in bringing law enforcement officials to justice for human rights abuses. No progress was made in allowing the right to conscientious objection to military service. Forcible returns of refugees increased. Discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity persisted. Implementation of laws aimed at preventing violence against women and girls remained slow". Lets not even talk about Armenia and Cyprus. Interesting behaviour from our new human rights beacon.

All is getting messed up now. Indeed the Israelis made the biggest mistake by killing activists. In international waters is a breach of international law. Indeed Israel should give the Gaza people a normal life by opening up the borders. But Erdogan is just provoking as Hamas is doing. This is contraproductive and dangerous. I am sure that most Turks do not support this idea. Erdogan should also know that although 9 people got killed, Hamas refused the goods from the ships! Think about this! Hamas blocked the aid!

And this is a good sign for everybody including Europe and the US

What is his motive? To be the power player of Islam? To show up Ahmadinejad and Assad? It certainly isn't because he loves the Palestinian people or is concerned about their plight. Major power play going on within Islam. Saudi Arabia, Jordan and others have been awfully quiet.

Erdogan should demand entry to the Gaza Strip at once or otherwise arrive via a flotilla escorted by the Turkish Navy of course.

The US is backong out of Iraq and eventually Afghanistan. The best wa yto control the region is its ally Turkey, who can command support and respect of all muslims, not Israel who only alienates them and has proven a one-sided and worthless ally, having only caused spread of anti-Americanism over the decades. If Israel is smart it will not resist this movement because it will result in a more moderate influence over the Islamic world than the Iranian brand it competes against. Erdogan is a visionary.

The Islamist Erdogan has been systematically preparing his country for confrontation with Israel. Beware Israel, this man who embraces Ahmadinejad is an evil enemy.

If he takes on this harsh, illegal action against another State, and bring Navy warship to test the Israelis, arrest him. No diplomatic Immunity. This guy is a bum, provoking Israel at every opportunity. Interestingly, Egypt hasn't said a word. Perhaps they know what they are dealing with in Gaza, and side with the Israelis.

to confront Turkey. I am sure Bibi and Avigdor can handle it. God Bless Israel

in the middle east, there comes a point when leaders feel that have to outshine one another. ahmedinajad has been getting all the attention as the supposed leader of the pro hamas regime in gaza. estrogen, with his b-male and a-female complex has to show his cup size too. what better way to get strarted on his own nuclear plan which, he now knows and most of us now know, is not to defend from israel on the high waters but rather to protect him from ahmedinajad, whose obsiquious subject he will be when the iran conducts its first nuke test.

I need a hero I’m holding on for a hero ‘til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong

While Erdogan may be winning the "arab" street, the problems in Turkey are many: 20% unemployment, poverty, lack of human rights. These problems exist in every muslim country, which may find it challenging to meet the needs of the poor. That is how the radical islamists have come to power, by filling in the gap with their charities for the poor, and by having candidates run for the govt. positions. However, those countries run by the Islamists have the poorest record for human rights, tolerance and equality. They are somewhat like the communist countries. Cuba, for example, where things were made better for the poor, but the economy stagnates and there are no human rights. Democracy, meaning tolerance and human rights for all, seems to be an idea that is foreign to them and which they can never incorporate, because of their authoritarian and patriarchal nature. The economy will be the number one problem I think. Osama bin Laden was glad to crush the USA economy, knowing that it would crush human rights (his being no lover of them). We have to show him that human rights are important to us; and we will have to help the world economy recover.

Turk PM kills Kurds , invades Cyprus , kills Greeks and this is a hero? not my picture of a hero

What club, chain, and knife will you try to bring Erdogan? It is much better you spend your energies on amending Hamas' Charter of Death & Destruction against Israel, which means dismantling the whole thing. Good Luck! Then you'll be allowed to sail freely on your yacht over to there.

He got his headlines now he wants to bring his navy to challenge the blockade. Seems like a peaceful man to me.

Sure, Mr PM, fly in to TA airport and drive to Gaza.. dont sneak in back door like a thief

free the 2/3 of Armenia territory including Mount Ararat that are occupied by Turkey, pay full reparations for the Armenian genocide, pull out from the occupied northern Cyprus, grant full independence to the 25 million Kurds in Kurkistan, prosecute Turkish politicians that for at least 30 years did ethnic cleansing in Kurd villages.

He can go visit Armenia . And be reminded the Turkey's role in world History.

Good for Erdogan.We are already organizing petitions to Latin American leaders to join efforts and try to reach the Gaza shores. Enough is Enough. If we have to sell, work harder, enjoy less it is all worth it. Israel has to stop,Israel will stop NOW!

If Erdogan wants to go to Gaza he could force Hamas to free the soldier Shalit and disarm Hamas then the siege will end.

Wouldn't be great if Turkey were to set a sailing date and invite the entire world to join in and break the blockade? Civilians ships protected by their corresponding navy ships from every corner of the world....Bibi will have no choice by to lift the blockade.

when army will take over , then mr erdogan will realise his mistakes

If Israel would adabt the Turkey way of solving problems than Israel could kill to start with a million of Palestinians. That's what Ankara did to the Armenians and the Turks still deny. Lucky Palestinians they have human Israel defending itself against the Palestinian enemies and not the Turks who still deny the Genozide against the Armenians.

Erdogan is the only political hero left in the entire world...
