re: #295 SanFranciscoZionist

Hold it. Turkey’s ship openly declared an intention to run Israel’s blockade. Is that an act of war by Turkey?

Or is this a matter of a pack of floating thugs using a ship under Turkish flag for their own political purposes?

In the local press, I keep reading that this incident is especially bad if it sours the relationship between Turkey and Israel, because Turkey is supposedly one of the friendlier states in the area. Is this true? Or are we just talking about the results of a very weighted scale, where “not currently killing us” is considered friendly?
