 Turkey Imposes Further Sanctions on IsraelPosted on Sep 6, 2011
Turkey added fuel to its smoldering relationship with Israel on Tuesday when Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that his nation would impose additional sanctions against its once-close ally. Likening Israel to a “spoiled boy,” Erdogan said that Turkey would halt all trade and military relations associated with Israel’s defense industry, and he warned that other measures would follow. Late last week Turkey downgraded diplomatic ties with Israel and suspended all military agreements between the two countries, giving senior Israeli diplomats only a few days to pack up and leave Turkish territory. An angry Turkey put all these measures into place after Israel refused to apologize for the deaths of eight Turks and one Turkish-American killed by Israeli commandos during a flotilla raid off Gaza last year. —BF

Remember when they performed the extrajudicial killing of some poor Palestinian who stood against them without a trial.

Its not cricket as the Brits would say in imposing sanctions on Israel.
That would be treating them like the US treats individual Syrians. After all
Israel is the only democracy in that part of the world and adheres to
freedoms fo all its citizens in he same way as in the US of A.
Its taking over Palestinian lands is based on wanting to be secure from
those evil people and as a means of securing peace.
Bad, bad Turkey, Arabs in general and all Palestenians.

“Given Israels use of faked and falsified passports I am suprised this isn’t the norm throughout the world.” Patrick Henry
Are the falsified passports for C.I.A., MOSSAD, and operatives of both, printed in Israel, or in the U.S.A. ?

Thank God there is one leader willing to stand up to Israel.
His citizens were murdered in cold blood - the very LEAST he should get is an apology.

After decades of criminality in Japan, Israelis are virtually banned here. More often then not they are simply turned around at the airport customs with no explanation. Now they get the message and don’t try entry anymore. From running sex slave operations and drug running down to ubiquitous fake brand peddling and con jobs they are persona non grata. There are no innocents. They’re all involved in it somewhere, somehow.

Another step in the right direction by free Turkey.
Just hope and pray that less free countries, like the US and Europe, will gather some courage to free themselves from the slave-like bondage that keeps them submissive to Zionist control and blackmailing!

I understand Israeli travelers to Turkey were pissed while the Turks temporarily detained them and took their passports.
Given Israels use of faked and falsified passports I am suprised this isn’t the norm throughout the world.

the racist and criminal regime of israel
has lost any and all legitimacy.
By its continued criminal actions,
it has IMO forsaken its right to exist.
Boycott, shun and grant no leeway
to all who associate with this racist scheming
murderous tyranny.

Erdogan gives the world an example of an honorable president who won’t let his country be humiliated by fascist thugs.

All Arab nations should build walls around their Israeli embassies as Egypt has done to make a point to the world concerning Israeli aggression and arrogance.
