#1 Dear Recep:

It's not quite an apology, but it's sincere and from the heart.

Cheers,
Binyamin

#2 Just a reminder: over 2,000,000 Christians have either been coerced out of or voluntarily left their Holy Lands since 1947. Muslims are the worst of all ethnic cleansers.

Another reminder: only Muslims are allowed in their own "holy lands" (al-haramain). We should set up a Muslim free zone, 200 miles around Temple Mount. Rabbi Kahane was right.

#3 I'm glad I'm not the prime minister of Israel. I would tell Bambi to fuck off and would tell Turkey that one more stunt like the one they pulled by aiding and abetting terrorists on a "aid" ship and it would be considered an act of war and all ports and aid stations in Turkey would be targets.

#6 He could always apologize for not killing enough terrorists and be sorry for not getting there sooner.

#7 Obama Admin to Israel: "Apologize to Turkey!"

IOW: Tell Erdogan's subjects that he is not insane by accepting blame for something that you did not do. And reap the consequences in the Arab world for years to come.

This is the best Obowma can do?

FOESAD.

#8 I suggest that Israel adopt the Chinese approach:

"No. YOU must apologize to US for attempting to meddle in our internal affairs!"

#10 Turkey

Israel apologizes that subhuman terrorists and thugs from your country tried to run a legal blockade, attacked soldiers of a nation enforcing the legal blockade and got themselves dead and maimed. Next time, just shoot them at home and save us the trouble.

Israel.

PS, We will be supplying Kurds with military arms and technology, so we advise you to never use a cell or telephone, be near any sort of physical object larger than a box of matches and never wear clothes. Oh and don't drink any liquid or eat food....or sit on a toilet.

#11 The best bet for Israel is to quietly split the Turkish military from its government. Start providing them political intelligence that sours them on Erdogen and his party.

While it might not make the Turkish military friendly to Israel, it might give them pause if asked to attack Israel, or to put their butts on the line to provoke Israel.
