Protestors, some of whom carried Turkish flags, shouted “death to Israel” and “death to the Zionist regime”.
“Maybe this time 700 people went [to deliver aid to Gaza], but next time there will be 7,000 and after that 70,000. Israel will be defeated,” Yasin Karameclik, one of the Turkish protesters, told journalists.
Salih Sagir, also from Turkey, said that the Israeli attack against the peace flotilla on Monday morning was a source of “shame for the entire mankind”.
“We can no longer keep quiet. Our hearts are crying. That boat was carrying food and diapers for children,” he added.
At least nine people, mostly international activists, were killed when Israeli commandos stormed a Turkish-backed convoy of six ships carrying aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip.
The Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) member of Bosnia’s tripartite presidency also condemned the Israeli operation against the peace activists.
In a statement issued by his office, Silajdzic called for an “urgent investigation of the Israeli attack”.
“All those who were involved or who ordered this crime must be held accountable in line with international humanitarian law,” Silajdzic said in the statement.
He called on Israel to “unconditionally and urgently allow the free flow of humanitarian aid, people and goods” in and out of Gaza.
Albania's Foreign Ministry issued a statement following the incident, noting that it was following the latest developments and adding: "the MFA considers this attack to be unnecessary and calls on the Israeli authorities to investigate immediately with regards to this case, which has strained regional stability and more."
The attack in international waters off the coast of Gaza drew condemnations from Turkey, France and the United Nations. Responding to the attack, Greece suspended a military exercise with Israel and postponed a visit by Israel’s air force chief.

It was totally peaceful and humanitarian, but “Israel will be defeated,” right? Only people as stupid as these idiots could rationalize something so contradictory. We’re lucky they’re as dumb as they are - if they had their stuff together, we’d have a real enemy on our hands, instead of a bunch of violent buffoons with guns.
Who would have thought that Muslims would ever march and protests on the streets of Sarajevo??????????
That boat was carrying food and diapers for children,”
lol ... yeah ... sure it was ... food and diapers.
Yeah, and the moon is made out of blue cheese!
They just don't realize that its none of their business.
Isreal offered to take the goods to Gaza but they were refused. Then they were attacked by those on the ships. Why is it that the real story never gets out. These people need to be put in their place.
Sick people, but it shows what we're up against. Our own president does not look at this high-seas event through our eyes, but through his own along with those of the communist/socialist/fascist/islamic radicals surrounding him in the administration.

Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. Sorry, but I learned awhile back not to trust anything a Muzzie says.
Must have been the new Semtex suicide diapers. Otherwise they would have just run the shipment through Israeli customs in Ashdod without a problem.
Who stood up for Daniel Pearl?
Hundreds? We're supposed to read a story half-way around the world about "hundreds" of Moslems complaining about Jews, as if this is news?
Had ten Israelis been killed, no one would give a damn.
To clarify my post, I believe Israel has every right to defend herself. Israel takes casualties all the time and the world says and does nothing. Yet, these countries demonstrate against Israel when she defends herself. No one defends Israel but Israel who earned that right after six million were killed.
The “peace” flotilla launched from an ethnically cleansed northern cyprus port occupied by savage Turks -— no surprise that bosniak muslims support the zombie muslim side.
Thanks to the US State dept and miguided politics of this nation we have three and counting islamic strongholds in the heart of Europe.
Too bad the Israelis didn’t sink them on sight.
In Bibi’s place I’d announce to the UN that they had 30 days to move their kept savages to some place minimally 1000 km from Israel and any which I found any closer than that on day 31 I was going to ****ing kill, have a nice day...
