General Duke Posted June 4, 2010 Turkey flays Israel over killings Turkish leaders have criticised Israel further over their deadly raid on an aid flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip, in which nine Turkish activists were killed. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister of Turkey, said in a televised speech to members of his AK Party in the city of Konya on Friday that Israel had betrayed its religion, and stood up for Hamas, the de facto rulers of the Gaza Strip. "You [israel] killed 19-year-old Furkan Dogan brutally. Which faith, which holy book can be an excuse for killing him?" Erdogan asked, referring to one of the nine dead activists. "I am speaking to them in their own language. The sixth commandment says "thou shalt not kill". Did you not understand? I'll say again. I say in English "you shall not kill". Did you still not understand? So I'll say to you in your own language. I say in Hebrew 'Lo Tirtzakh'." Talking about Hamas, he said: "[They] are resistance fighters fighting for their land. They are Palestinians. "They won an election and now they are in Israel's prisons. I told this to the Americans, that I do not accept Hamas as a terrorist group."

General Duke Posted June 4, 2010 'Irreparable scar' Abdullah Gul, the Turkish president, has said that Israel's raid has caused "irreparable" damage to his country's relations with Israel, and will "never" be forgiven. "From now on, Turkish-Israeli ties will never be the same," Gul said to around 20,000 people at the funerals in Istanbul. "This incident has left an irreparable and deep scar." Bulent Arinc, Turkey's deputy prime minister, said on Friday that Turkey was reducing its economic and defence co-operation with Israel. "We are serious on this issue. New co-operation will not start and relations with Israel will be reduced,'' he said. Protesters in Greece and Bosnia turned out in their thousands on Friday to demonstrate against Israel's action and to call for an end to the blockade on Gaza. Israel says its commandos opened fire on Monday as a last resort after they were attacked, and released a video showing soldiers in riot gear descending from a helicopter into a crowd of men with clubs. Returning activists admitted fighting with the Israeli commandos but insisted their actions were in self defence because the ships were being boarded in international waters by a military force. Israel has rejected calls for an international investigation into the incident, and warned that it was ready to intercept another aid ship, the Rachel Corrie, that is expected to reach Gaza on Saturday.
