Who voted this guy in? He sounds like the president of Iran. Also I think this is the first time I heard someone call hamas a government, how can we take this terrorist sympathiser seriously?

Mazal, you know, it is interesting that it’s Turkey that is talking about massacres, let them study their history and look what they’ll find. Actually let’s review it here.

Let’s just mention here that Jews were considered second-class citizens in Turkey under Ottoman rule often persecuted and received limited legal rights.

* Hamidian Massacres
In the period of 1894-1986 thousands of Armenians were killed under the indirect order or knowledge of Sultan Hamid. The estimated number of deaths range between 80,000 to 300,000. It should be noted that the Armenians were no terrorists rather a law abiding minority group with different religious views. Many Jews were killed in the attacks and slaughter pogroms.

* Adana Massacre
In April 1909, a series of pogroms took place in the city of Adana and surrounding cities against Armenians (targeting them specifically for their economic success). An estimated 30,000 Armenians are believed to be killed in those riots.

* Armenian Genocide
In April 1915, thousands of Armenian leaders and notables were arrested and deported. Thousands of people were persecuted in mass burnings, women and children were loaded onto boats then thrown overboard. Doctors experimented on Armenians using poison etc. similar to what Nazi doctors later imitated. Death marches were then initiated and people were crammed into cattle cars and shipped to extermination. 25 concentration camps existed throughout those years. You can basically imagine the holocaust horror stories related to you by your parents and grandparents being done there.

In total 1,500,000 (!) Armenians were killed.

Talking about occupied land. The place where the flotilla embarked is actually Turkish-occupied Cypres. Talking about hypocrisy!

why are people like this dumb one allowed to talk in public its embarrassing for the rest of us to know that our city and country have people working for them and which are meant to be serving us spewing anti-semitic talk. we should work to take any of these kind of people off the street.

Seems like everything is going according to plan.

Mr. Peanut (aka Jimmy Carter) joins Mr. Black Panther, Mr. Achmedinejad in denouncing Israel. Just keep on coming…

The president of Turkey called this a “massacre”, with the Israelis trying to protect themselves. Meanwhile, in Mexico, 25 bodies were found in a silver mine. Hardly a word about it in the press. Dave Hirsh said it right. We know Hashem is ultimately in charge and how do we take this message He is sending us? What as the Jewish people should our next move be? We see the hypocrisy of the entire world and have no one to defend us, except Ha’Kodesh Baruch Hu. I hope we can take this message being clearly sent to us. How can you help?? Daven a little extra harder, Give Tzedakah, smile to neighbors, be honest in business, be M’krev people, refrain from Lashon Hara. Look for the good in people. Be Dan L’kaf Zechos. Do Chesed. All the letter writing and complaining to the Government officials will not help. Instead of wasting time expressing your anger, fight back the only way a jew can, and Hashem will fight for us. Just have Bitachon, Jews. We have a promise from Hashem that He will save us, if we return and come together. That is the ultimate promise.

Perhaps he should go to Sderot for a different reason.

The guy is a complete moron. Israel never claimed to be defending themselve against rockets launched from the boat.They defended themselves against the smuggling of weapons to the terrorist powered gaza.

secondly the jews were never an enemy to the germans especially not through shooting rockets at civilians. How can any sane person compare israel’s self defense to the germans genocidal actions?!.

Charles Barron,
How can you compare Gaza to the concentration camps. Are there people in Gaza getting gassed and tortured to death every day? Is Israel conducting experiments on the Palestinian people? Did the Jews in Europe kill innocent civilians before during or after the holocaust?!!!No but Hamas kills or is trying to kill innocent Israelis on a daily basis.
So tell me how you can justify that statement.
Maybe if Hamas stopped trying to WIPE Israel off the planet we would be more willing to sit down and stop isolating them from the rest of the world.
