Few hundred Turks, captured in a civilian ship, on high seas, are currently in detention in Israel. Even the wounded ones being carried to hospitals seem to be handcuffed in pictures by Israili TV.

 

Would it be too racist, if Turkia was to round up all Israili citizens currently in Turkia and kept them hancuffed in a detention area, until Israelies free the Turkish prisoners?

outrageous act from the nation that claims to be chosen..chosen for what? for attacking others? The nation that has been crying for understanding and compensation for all past sufferings behaves like this...Horrible.

My sympathy goes to all innocent victims of this attack ..and I support my bro Alpha in his anger!!!

Few hundred Turks

 

I know, you are interested in only Turkish citizens there, but according to the news, there are also people from 32 different countries, possibly among the killed and the wounded ones as well. But whatever nationality they might be from, it is saddening as well as inflaming.

My first reaction was, WHAT the HELL is wrong with those people?! In any case, let me state up front that nobody deserved to be killed on that boat. But now I have seen the images on tv, and heard about what happened before this boat went on its way, and I have nuanced my view a bit. I heard that the convoy was warned for weeks that they couldn´t take that route to provide aid, that they would be stopped, and that there were alternative routes available. And the images on the news showed that the scary army-guys were attacked once they got on the boat. But to be honest, if I was on an aid boat, I would probably also get a stick and hit around if some guy with a gun would drop on the boat... no, acutally, I would be hiding in the corner... Still a horrible act though. When will this big mess end...

For an ethnic group that has been living off international sympathy for almost a 100 years now, Israel has turned the town of GAZZA to the biggest and cruelest concentration camp in history. People are not only dying there, but also being forced to watch their babies die.

 

Who the hell is Israel to highjack civilian ships in open sea? What is their difference from the pirates of Somali?

 

Are we all supposed to keep silent now, just because the Israelies had warned us all in advance? What else do you think we can allow them to do?; how far can they go,  provided they warn us in advance?

What is happening in Gaza is horrible, and human rights have seemed to have vanished there, but please don´t say that it is the "biggest and cruelest concentration camp in history" ... cruelest? My family has died in concentration camps, and believe me, you don´t want to start a competition on which form of oppression is the cruelest. Nobody "wins" in the cruelty race. I have to live with the knowledge, that some nazi-idiot might have turned my uncle into a lamp (yes, this really happened), that he might have been worked to death, might have been gassed to death, but hopefully he died by an allied bombing of a concentration camp.

 

And I also want to make clear that this is not a "Jewish thing". It´s not like all the Jews in the world get to vote during the Israeli elections. We need to let go of the whole Jew-Muslim thing, and not make this an idiological question. It´s this religious aspect that has hindered the peace process in the past, and it´s time for a chance.

 

People should see what this is really about...basic human rights, the choice to live your life, and the opportunity to earn a living. It doesn´t matter if a gun is held by a Jew, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, or an Atheist... the bullet will be just as harmful in any case. It´s the people in high places who play with human lives like they are playing a game of chess, on both sides. Did you ever here of an Israeli minister going on a fighting mission? Was it ever a high placed guy from Hamaz who did a suicide bombing?

Hmmm....ummm....how about Yitzhak Rabin.....Ariel Sharon....Moshe Dayan........as for the guy from Hamaz...he wasn´t around after the suicide bombing......and no, I don´t condone suicide bombing in any way....but I do think the Israili policies are certainly counter productive...so say the least.

 

........and to tell the truth....this situation in Gaza certainly rivals "others".....but this is not a time for competition as to who has, or had it the worst....

 

How long is this going to go on....enough already!
