I believe this article has been written by an Israili, in better words, by right-wing Israili writer. There are so many wrong information troughout the article.

First of all, Bulent Yildirim, head of IHH is not a supporter of AK Parti, indeed he is a strong fan of Saadet Partisi. Therefore, by declaring him and Mr. Erdogan as "best friend" the editor shows his narrow and limited knowledge about Turkish Politics.

In addition, these ships are headed to Gazza not Hamas.. There are millions of innocent people in the city of Gazza, most of them live in poverty. In an international water, Israili soldiers land in "humanitarian aid" vessel (nobody found even SINGLE bullet in the ship!) and murdered nine (9) civilians. How come you can expect from Mr. Erdogan to stay calm, idle, act as if non of his citizen killed! Nonsence...

Bythe way, I see that a lot of pro-Israilis trying to portray Mr. Erdogan as an arap-style dictator. I would like to remind you that Turkey is a democratic country and he is ellected by popular vote. Turkish people supported him by voting %47 to his party in the election.

One more remark, helping PKK and GAZZA is two different thing. Its like comparing apple and pears. PKK is a terrorist organization and they kill innocent people all over the counrty, nonetheless, Turkish government does not declare war on KURDISH People.. We all know that almost %100 of PKK terrorist are from Kurdish decent but it is responsible governments duty to distinguish who is terorist and who is not. By the same token, Millions of Gazzan people are not terrorist, most of them innocent ordinary people. And this flotilla carry out foods and medicines...

Still, you put all the burden to the people who got murdered. They have been shot my friends!. Look at the KILLER. First, lets all condem Israil for this criminal act and then critisize Turkish foreign policy.
