10,000 Turks protested Israel today in Istanbul. The protesters chanted, “Murderous Israel you will drown in the blood you shed!”
Reuters posted video from the anti-Israel protests:
Here’s more video and photos from the protest at the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv.
YNet News reported:
Around 10,000 Turks marched in protest from the Israeli consulate in Istanbul to a main square, chanting, “Murderous Israel you will drown in the blood you shed!” following the deadly IDF raid on the Gaza aid flotilla Sunday night. The protesters earlier tried to storm the Consulate building but were blocked by police.
The Gaza aid flotilla of six ships, carrying some 700 activists, was sponsored in part by a Turkish organization.
Turkish police were put on high alert as thousands people marched on Istanbul’s central Taksim square from the Israeli consulate where they had converged after news of the raid broke.
“Damn Israel!”, “A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, revenge, revenge!” chanted the protestors, carrying Turkish and Palestinian flags, as they marched towards the square, an AFP photographer reported.
“Close down the Zionist embassy,” read a banner carried by the crowd.

Did Israel just hand President Obama what he has been waiting for? Something to turn global opinion against Israel for good is just the kind of “crisis” someone drenched in the anti-Semitic rantings of Jeremiah Wright could utilize. Obama has had an adviser that said an invasion of Israel could be justified. God help us if that ever happens.

“YISRAEL AM CHAI”
Muslims can shout as much as they want. Israel is here to stay.

…….and since the news broke, Harold Koh, Samantha Power* and maybe even Hillary and George Mitchell have been in Obama’s ear saying “Go, go, go ! Hit ‘em with everything….. Attack !”
The entire M.E. zone is going hot……. and the current administration will hasten the ‘festivities’ ON PURPOSE in order to accelerate the crisis too good to waste over here, as well as giving payback to The OIC and the other peace lovers world-wide.

Perhaps we can send Turkey a bill for all the billions we spent defending her during the Cold War, to defend them against the Soviets. I’ll also never forget Turkey’s “unflinching” support of the United States, requiring us to invade Iraq at the last minute through Kuwait instead. Turkey most assuredly is radicalizing and befriending Iran, now the big playa in the region.
eaglewingz08 commented:
Strange that those ‘peace activists’ on the ship that was being boarded by the IDF, opened fire on the Israeli soldiers with automatic weapons and other improvised weapons. Yeah, really peaceful and unarmed, those guy. I’m sure that the ships had really ‘peaceful’ cargo for Gaza, like RPGs, bazookas, mines, rocket launchers, etc. Great work by the IDF

I’m afraid that this is the start of something nobody but the Islamist want. The good thing is that they wont be the winners.
Every hand will be against Israel, but one.

Marsh commented:
I can’t believe so many people think turkey is some moderate muslim country and a close friend. The country is overflowing with islamists who ruthlessly persecute and oppress all non-muslim monorities. They also want to reinstate the caliphate and become the head of a global muslim empire again. That’s why they hate Jews and Israel so mch. They see Israel as an insult and challenge to islam and thus they must be annihilated through jihad. And never forget that turkey is occupied European and Christian land that used to be capital of Christendom and the Eastern Roman Empire until racist muslim imperialists finally toppled the city defenses and raped, murdered and enslaved all of the European Christians who lived there. They also still occupy Greek territory in Cyprus to this day. They are NOT our friend. They should be kicked of NATO and permanently blocked EU membership immediately.

So Obama and his hunny Bill Ayers are behind this thing? It’s one thing for our pres to hate Isreal privately, but to aggressively provoke like this? He wants a Middle Eastern armegeddon. I mean, this kind of thing is NOT accidental.
iconoclast commented:
Chanting radical muslims (someone send Holder the video) asking for the death of a western democracy. Cheering whenever someone is killed–particularly if they are killed either while going to the grocery store or attempting to minimize muslim casualties.
Pretty old hat by now. Israel shouldn’t worry so much and should learn from Russia on how to deal with radical muslims.
Big L commented:
Turkey-USA relations have been a stage play for years. Any way in a city of what 12,000,000- ten thousand is peanuts.
Israel always mishandles PR….they should have surrounded the 6 ships with their oldest navy ships. Forced a few collisions, then sunk a couple and blamed the Pals.
pamlinson commented:
Obamski had better tread carefully here, this country stands behind Israel to the end.
Joanne commented:
Muslims are not interested in the truth, rational thought, or common sense. Muslims HATE the Jews and that is that, and not one thing will change their mind……and the same goes for Christians and all the countries they stem from.
Joanne commented:
Isaiah 16:19:20 “None pities his brother, but tears his right hand and is hungry; And unsatisfied eats of his left,–each devouring the flesh of his arm. Menasseh of Ephraim, Ephraim of Menasseh, and both of them joined upon Judah.”
Menasseh and Ephraim are the sons of Joseph who hold the birthright promises; Menasseh, a great people, and Ephraim, greater and a multitude of nations – the blessings bestowed upon them by Israel, the man. Menasseh is America and Ephraim is Britain. Not only will these two be at each other, but they will join against Judah. This is prophecy.

Israel should have just torpedoed them. Then say they must have hit a reef or something. Better known as the Russian Solution.
bob commented:
The demonstrators were lucky that Israel got stupid by not going into the intercept of the blockade vessel prepared for violent action. The Israeli’s carried paint ball guns on board to intimidate those who would resort to violence.
NC Cop commented:
“Israel should have just torpedoed them.”
Good idea, apparently the world doesn’t care when a country torpedoes the ship of another country.
Iran obtaining nukes: Nobody cares
N. Korea sinks S. Korean warship: Nobody cares
Israel boards a ship it suspects of having weapons and the whole world is pissing mad.
God help this world.

@aro5075 . . . my sentiments exactly. But you know those cowardly provocateurs were hiding somewhere safe.

A protest also took place outside the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv. I published exclusive photos and video of that protest here.
donh commented:
That Armenian genocide by the Turks began in April of 1915. Every hundred years the Turkish Moslems develop an unquenchable thirst for blood. The quest for slaughter darkens the doorway of the Holy Land.
Andreas K. commented:
“A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, revenge, revenge!”
Yes!
And then we make Instanbul Christian again and restore it as Constantinople.
Why do you think Ataturk’s opinion about islam was what it was? He was hardly fond of islam and tried to push it out of Turkey, because he knew that islam was a backwater death cult. Erdogan and his minions are bringing it back.
And well, I don’t see any “radical” mohammedans in this video. All I see is “good” mohammedans, following the marching orders of the pedophile prophet himself. They simply doing what islam demands from them. Not “radical” islam. Not “moderate” islam. Islam is islam.

Their prophet beheaded 800 Jews didn’t he? What do you expect from losers that worship that mess?
