Had the flotilla ships been flying the Turkish flag, it would have been an 'act of war'. The NATO allies of Turkey would be obligated to come to Turkey's defense. Turkey has served western security interests since the Cold War. They should continue to exercise their memberships rights in spite of the criticism from countries whose foreign policies are dictated from Israel.

I' m not sure where you got your information from, but there aren't 28 million Alawite's on this planet. 11-12 % of Syria is Alawite (2.1 million) and the total Alawite population is about 3 million.  Only in turkey we are 28 milion... and that is what they know... some people say its more... my friend... and outside turkey are 4 milion...and also that many alawi do not make themselves heard...Maybe thats the reason you think there are only 3 milion alawite...

For those who say jews don't control everything, tell me this is not a ploy to control and spy on NATO, anyway turkey is led by hypocrites, they say they don't like innocent people dying in Syria but are willing to arm the opposition rats with all they have to kill people, oh the shame.

those 9 Turkish who died was no pacifists, video evidence shows that they attacked Israeli soldiers as they dropped unto the deck of the ship. And do you know that Israel lets in 20 562 tons of supplies and humanitarian aid, civilian aid between March 11th to March 17th into Gaza.   thi s particular zionist needs educating.
the ship was in international waters.. = they had no LAWFUL or LEGAL right to board the ship, you can defend yourself from piracy on the high seas..  wouldn't you do defend yourself against attack from the somali pirates O.o?
most of the 9 civilians massacred were shot in the head, one even between the eyebrows.. = intentionally pre-emptive murdering unlawful etc .. = war crime.. and a declaration of war!
A 19 year old was shot five times – from close range in the right side of his nose, in the back of the head. Gaza is under siege from air, sea, land, even underground .. they bombed the tunnels too. Since June 2007!! = genocidal war crime.
Even your fellow zionists said they are putting the ''people of Gaza on a diet''.Hope that helped you zionist scum.

A month ago Israel stepped out of the UN Human Rights Council and rejected the UN decision to send UN Inspector to monitor Palestinians' life under Israeli occupation. That Israeli latest action is more than elloquent : The jewish state has a supremacist position , not only in regarding religious interpretation but in his arrogance and constant violation of UN mandates. Israel has been in flagrant violation of UN resolutions since decades ago , all done under the US Veto Power protection, and now we all have a rouge-terrorist country acting against the entire international community , it is Israel .Yes, Israel kills civilians whenever it pleases its government , assaults peaceful flotillas in international waters and rejects international investigations about it . Israel sends its special forces abroad to train mercenaries and paramilitary forces that are famous for their Human Rights violations and massacres : Africa and LatinAmerica , amongst other regions. Israel has sent its cover operatives to deal with narcotics and , when discovered, simply rejects any international court or judgemen. It is a state that seems to be getting excessive "green light" from Washington DC , and now the whole international community is facing a serious threat to international peace and to conflict resolutions ...why, because Israel has been acting in a typical terrorist manner , and besides , israel treats 1.5 million Palestinians with nazi methods in Gaza. Let's stop the Israeli superconcentration camp : Free Gaza and its inhabitants/

Turkey is playing game they are just showing a dis pleasure since everyone else is unhappy about the Israelis but really they are just a doing what they are told. 
Erdogan is fully qualified Zionist so stop pretending your country will be split into and one will be EU sacrifice and another will go to Kurdish moslem.

Turkish position is more than right! . Why?Because a country that defiantly acts against the international community, that is in constant violation of the UN resolutions and mandates , a country that goes into international waters to kill unarmed pacifists and to take over humanitarian help , a country that repeatedly bombs civilians, kills stone tossers children, a country that arrgantly steps out of the UN Human Rights Council , and a country that keeps more than 1.5 million Palestinians in concentration camp like conditions , is a country that should be isolated by the international community. Worse,  israel has done all the above mentioned and still keeps on taking Palestinian workers' wages , Palestinian Authority revenues ,and keeps in building an apartheid wall in violation of all Human Rights MandatesThat country , Israel , should be boicot and his presence should be banned from international forums . Besides, is has been proven Israel cover missions deal and promote narcotrifficking in Central and South America . And Israel promotes terror when trainning paramilitay forces and mercenaries all over the world. In a nut shell : Israel is the worse terrorist of any state .Those who oppose nazi tactics should oppose israeli nazi methods against one million and a half Palestinians in  Gaza.

There are Syrian Alawites and and Turkish Alevis, but no Alavites, for those like me who had to look it up. Some US troops over there for years don't know the players as well as some RT members.

Kudos to Turkish Leadership for standing up to apartheid and ethnic cleansing regime of Bibi and lunatic who emigrated from Russia.
don't be stupid. turks are actively and vigorously engaged in ethnic cleansing against Kurds. quite frankly that confuses me. you see, SALADIN was a kurd. a majority of islamic state seals and or political seals display one or more versions of the "eagle of  saladin". yet more than one country engaged in elimination of kurdish autonomy, homeland.

Israel has repeatedly shown their inability to stick to even the simplest of treaties. Why should they then be allowed to take part in meetings of the "North Atlantic TREATY Organization"?
Un til Israel can obey the law, they should have no say in making the law.
