Remember, the current president of Turkey is none other than Abdullah Gul who was elected back in 2007.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6966216.stm
Turkey's military chief warned on Monday that "centres of evil" were trying to undermine the state. Gen Yasar Buyukanit did not name those he said were "trying to corrode the secular nature of the Turkish Republic."
But analysts said the statement was clearly aimed at Mr Gul, a devout Muslim.
Turkey's military and secular establishment suspect he might harbour a secret Islamist agenda.

What better way would there be to justify moves away from secularism, when you can claim victim status in all of this? Plus, it's really easy to demonise Israel when most of the Islamic world already hates them.

This is one of those times I hope you are wrong Rollo. Unfortunately, I think you have hit the nail on the head....

Does not anyone think it is strange that a ship supposedly taking aid to Gaza has so many people on board? Why were there more than just the crew?
Also do not forget any ship trying to run a blockade and intercepted that does not obey the orders of the intercepting ship can be sunk.
Thank whatever diety you worship, if any, that Israel did not do that.

I don't think it had anything to do with delivery of humanitarian aid. It was nothing more than political posturing... STUPID political posturing. Having made it clear they would violate the blockade they are indeed lucky that the vessels weren't sent to the bottom of the ocean.



And Rollo, quite a telling link in regards to the IHH.

The reason that shipped was packed with these do gooder wing nuts is precisly to stop the Isreali's from doing just that. The chattering classes who want to feel morally superior are filled with useful idiots for the cause....

I'm just wondering how much this clusterf### is going to cost me, the American taxpayer. I've already read this book, on many other occasions: Israel gets its panties in a bunch, Israel strikes out, American taxpayer has to send a guilt check to build some houses, buy some planes or whatever.

That unnamed character from Lost was more right than he knew: They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same.

We all know you aren't excercising as much as you should with you thousand posts per day. I wish you the best of health, boycotting Israel by not using your computer with your chip from Kiryat Gat will probably help that cause. I say go for it.

So does HP, CA, IBM, SAP and Google to name a few.

I'd tell you to search the rest but now that you guys can't use Google and Boogle what's the point?

Good luck anyway...

I might try this:

Besides, it doesn't matter because I don't pay for using Google. I'll just have to make sure I won't buy from anybody who advertises on Google.
