Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Thursday said Israel was "willing to consider apologizing" for problems that occurred during last year's raid of the Turkish flotilla ship the Mavi Marmara in which nine Turks were killed when they tried to lynch IDF commandos.
Speaking to reporters in Washington following a meeting with his US counterpart Leon Panetta, Barak said he would prefer to "come to an understanding" with Turkey rather than wait for the publication of a UN report on the incident, which he deemed "problematic for Israel."
"Defense Ministry and IDF legal advisers recommend that we come to an understanding with Turkey in order to protect commanders and soldiers from legal aaction," Barak stated.
"We are not apologizing for the blockade and we are not apologizing for using force," he said. "We are willing to consider apologizing for problems that occurred during the Marmara operation, if indeed their were such problems...I don't like it, but that is the choice that must be made," Barak added.

Here, Ehud. Let me do the honor:
Dear Turkey:
I'm sorry IDF forces tried using paint guns first. I'm sorry they boarded a ship full of Turkeys. They would have done a whole lot better to sink her outright. We won't make that mistake again. Bite me.
Sincerely,
Israel by one of its citizens
PS: Kill any good Armenians lately?
Is that like pardoning the turkey ???
No, it’s like serving it up with all the trimmings, getting it all carved up, and then saying “I’m sorry” and setting it free.
Dibs on a drum stick
:)
Don’t forget to apologize to the bones.
When did they kill Armenians?
/s
Armenians? What Armenians? There never was such a people./s
What?/S
In the little book “The Happiest People on Earth” Demos Shakarian the man who started the Full Gospel Businessmens Fellowship has a great accounting of that massacre of the Armenians
His family left Armenia for the US just a few months or so before the slaughter by the Moslems of all those thousands of Christians ...
They had been warned by a young boy who prophecied the massacre would accure and to leave right then...
Some left...
Some stayed...
Many of ones who left settled in and arround LA
This particular family lived in Downy...
I used to have a few copies of that little book but I cant find any
It may still be in Christian bookstores...
Aw, those stories were all invented by the international Greek conspiracy, in order to wrest control of Cyprus from its rightful owners. They’re obviously playing possum. Greeks do that after you shoot them.
I'm sorry IDF forces tried using paint guns first. I'm sorry they boarded a ship full of Turkeys. They would have done a whole lot better to sink her outright. We won't make that mistake again. Bite me.
Sincerely,
Israel by one of its citizens

Your apology is better than what I was thinking of. Good job.
