Erdogan to Assad: Israel will pay for flotilla raid

A week after the Israeli commando raid on a Gaza-bound Turkish ship, which left nine people dead, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would "no longer be silent on Gaza becoming a giant prison."

Speaking at a joint press conference with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Istanbul on Monday, Erdogan called on Israel "to put an end to the occupation of Arab lands", and on the Palestinian factions to arrive at a truce.

Erdogan said that Ankara would continue to patiently follow the efforts to establish an international commission of inquiry into the raid. "Israel must pay the price for what happened," he said.

During the press conference, Assad conveyed his condolences for the deaths of Turkish citizens in the Gaza flotilla raid, saying they lost their lives "in a heinous crime, while defending a just cause. They are shahids in heaven.

"This is not the first time Israel commits crimes, but in this case it failed to label its victims as 'terrorists'," said the Syrian leader.

"We all know that the activists were not even allowed to carry knives. What happened was not the result of a mistake on the part of the (Israeli) soldiers or an erroneous government decision – it was Israeli instinct. Turkish blood and Arab blood are one and the same. We will not forget the Ottoman Empire's opposition to the attempts to establish a Jewish state on Palestinian lands," Assad said.

Addressing the indirect talks with Israel, which were suspended after Israel launched a military offensive in Gaza in late 2009, Assad said, "Israel thwarted the (negotiations) because it is addicted to mediation that is biased in its favor. Israel wanted to exact a price from Turkey for its efforts to promote peace, but (Israel) must know that if continues along its current path and continue with the occupation – this will solidify its status as an enemy of peace in the world."

“Turkish blood and Arab blood are one and the same. We will not forget the Ottoman Empire’s opposition to the attempts to establish a Jewish state on Palestinian lands,” Assad said.”

What he REALLY means is Muslims ALWAYS unite against non-believers.

Pig Turk, back to your stye.

Oooooooooh, shut up! Saber rattling, Jew hating, nutjobs.

“We will not forget the Ottoman Empire's opposition to the attempts to establish a Jewish state on Palestinian lands,” Assad said. “

And the west should NEVER forget the Armenians, the Chaldean Christians, the Greek Christians, the crimes against humanity committed by Turks in the Balkans and Central Europe, as well the crimes against humanity committed by the pig Turks in the Mediterranean, and by their Islamic allies throughout the world against all non-Muslims.

................. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would “no longer be silent on Gaza becoming a giant prison...........................

That’s great.

Bring lots of empty ships, and Isreal would be happy to populate it with the “prisioners” of Gaza. Turkey can have all of them that they’d like.

Come and get ‘em!

Israel should and must do anything to protect herself....this tiny little country is being condemned once again by Saudi Arabia and all the countries in the area much to the delight of Barack H. Obama, a Muslim who is anti-American. It is no secrete how this fraud feels towards our good friend...he favors Hamas/terrorist over a free people.

Contact the Pig Turk Embassy in Washington and tell them what you think of their son of a strumpet boss Erdogan:

Be polite. Turks get offended easily when you bring up anti-social actions by their government.

[ZULU]

This is the fruit of Barrack Hussein Obama’s Islamophilia in the foreign policy arena.

In the domestic arena, its the obscenity they are trying to build at ground zero at the world trade center site.

Great video!!!

"This is not the first time Israel commits crimes, but in this case it failed to label its victims as 'terrorists'," said the Syrian leader.

You are a terrorist, Assad. No need to state the obvious.

Sorry, the time for being polite has long since past.

Turkey is merely adding to the problems caused by Syria, Lebanon, and Iran. The hope is to give Israel more targets than they can address in one attack.

[Turk stands up.]

Turk: Well, I'm real scared.

Israel: Damn right, you're scared. I can see that in your eyes.

[Israel walks up to Turk as Turk reaches for his gun.]

Turk: All right now.

Israel: Go ahead. Go ahead, skin it. Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.

Truk: Listen, mister, I-I'm gettin' awful tired of your--
[Israel slaps Turk hard in the face.]

Israel: I'm gettin' awful tired of your gas. Now jerk that pistol and go to work.

[Turk doesn't do anything and Israel slaps him in the face again.]

Israel: I said throw down, boy.

[Israel slaps Turk harder and when Turk turns to look at Israel his mouth is bleeding.] Israel: You gonna do somethin' or just stand there and bleed?
[Turk still doesn't do anything.]

Israel: No? I didn't think so.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

They are trying to present Israel with blockade running ships they don’t dare stop.

If that comes, Israel may have to re-occupy Gaza.

In the meantime, Israel should just play it bold. Encourage her enemies to send all the ships they can afford to lose. Seize them, sell them. Put the captains in prison.

If you can’t board it, sink it.

And if for whatever reason you dare not do anything to the ship (if for example Erdogan is a passenger) then reenter Gaza and at the very least occupy the port and docks.

Well, the veil has fallen from the Turk’s face.

“I see your true colors come shining through”.

Threats like this come from an enemy.

As I’ve said, in a way it is beneficial in bringing clarity as to whose side they are on, the demarcation of the clash of civilizations.

No question now of Turkey’s leanings.

Allied with Iran, Hamas, Hizbollah and the nutjobs of Pakistan and Saud.

“Allied with Iran, Hamas, Hizbollah and the nutjobs of Pakistan and Saud.”

READ a good book on historical Islam.

Muslims all over the world separate the entire globe into the “House of Peace” and “The House of War” The “House of Peace” is wherever an Islamic theocracy rules. The “House of War’ is anywhere else.

In the mind of a true Muslim, if you are not a Muslim, you are an enemy.

Nailed it.
