Turkish paper releases 'censored' photos of beaten Israeli commandos

Hurriyet gazette is not honest for us as Turks

Good in the short term, because it clearly shows, that Israeli troops were not welcomed with roses on the big flotilla ship. But very bad in the long term, because the pictures are extremely embar- rassing for the IDF, and they make Israel look incredibly weak and vulnerable in the eyes of the Arab/Muslim world, which will certainly rather increase the possibility of future armed conflicts in the region, should there be no breakthrough on a viable Palestinian state over the next 15 months......

So people, commando's board your ship with guns... what do you do...try to talk to them?..the worst part is that the isreali cabinet took 1 week prior to the arrival of the Flotilla to come up with this resolution...it took place in International waters..anything goes...who outweighed the other?....strange that israel had an overkill of weapons to deal with something! 9 dead (civilians/activists)...7 israeli's hurt (bruised, couple of cuts)..who's better off?? a few questions to be answered..dont you think?

The photos show that they didnt want to kill soldiers, rather than kill them, as the IDF spokesperson cleverly spinned it. You have proof that commandos were literally in the arms of activists, if they wanted to kill them they would have done it on the spot

If the aid workers wanted to kill these crying commandos they would have done it easly. They would have killed other soldiers by using these stupid guy's rifles but they just wanted to make them scare but the other soldiers came later and shot people randomly. Most of them were shot in the back what brave killers. if they knew that the other soldiers was going to shoot . Your cyring commandos and many others was going to be dead

When your commandos get beaten and taken hostage by civilians armed with pipes what do you do? answer: make it look like a sign of the commandos restraint rather than weakness. Spin!

Turkey needs to be expelled from NATO. The actions of it's government show it to be nothing less than an Islamic State in the same vein as Iran.

---The IDF Spokesperson's Unit issued a response to the Turkish photos, saying that the "published pictures serve as clear and unequivocal proof of Israel's repeated arguments that aboard [the Mavi Marmara] were mercenaries who intended to kill Israeli soldiers."--- They certainly could have killed the Israeli soldiers - why didn't they if that was supposedly their intention? Only people killed were peace-activists - by soldiers who had supposedly no intention to kill - hmmmm

By Israel releasing those photos.

Beaten israeli commandos, are u sure? What kind of commandos are there? They enter a ship on international waters, give their weapons to peple which have no guns and Haaretzs claims, the soldiers were innocent. By the way, israely army should fire these commandos and send them back to the kindergarten.

What a disgusting country Turkey is. I encourage you all to check out the website. The Turkish language edition proudly displays the beaten Israelis, and the English one does not have a trace of this coverage. Way to go Turkey, enjoy your Islam.

Yes there was skirmishes and commandos are just simple peole at the end of it. they get hurt and they may even cry of pain and fear. what is the big deal here? only difference is Turks are helping the injured, israelis were seen handcuffing and hoping they die. one seem normal human act the other is just... I dont know how to lay it out...???

1.As a Turk, I do not blame the Israeli commandos because they have been put into this trouble due to bad leadership and operational planning. Nobody wants to be in their situation. 2.On the other hand, the course of action chosen by Israeli leadership (political and military) was the worst they can choose. They have attacked a ship well off the territorial waters of Israel. And on the other hand, do not forget that Gazza is not part of Israel. They should be clever enough to handle the situation more smooth way. I believe there were other options. 3.If this incident should have been occurred vice versa, I mean if an Israel ship has been attacked at international waters and dozens Jews who are only carrying bars&sticks would have been killed by some other countries armed soldiers, than Israel would probably try to take revenge and would probably assassinate the planners and executers of this operation that caused civilian Jewish lives. 4.Please be honest to yourself. I understand your will to support your troops BUT there is a very big mess that your troops left behind because of bed leadership not at tactical level but at operational and strategic level. 5. No tactical success can prevent a failure at operational and strategic level.

Let the Turks first apologize for the Armenian massacres of 1915 the deliberate and systematic destruction (genocide) of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I by the Turkish Army, implemented through wholesale massacres and deportations, with the deportations consisting of forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees.

i am speechless

Israel wanted these photos published in the world press to show the brutality of the hired thugs aboard this Hamas supporting flotilla. So they pretended to delete them from the cameras expecting that the Turkish press would publish them in an attempt to embarrass Israel. The trick worked and now the world (and the investigators) can see these soldiers did need to take action to defend themselves from a life threatening attack. And since the source of the publication is Turkey itself, who can challenge this?

THEY TERRORIZED THE BOAT? OR WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY?
