Re: All things related to Hryastan
This was a Turkish trap designed by Erdogan that Israel fell for......no real peace activists on that Turkish flaged ship. What a PR disaster for Israel.
Turkey set a trap knowing very well that Israelis would loose either way they respond.
1) Don’t do anything, ignore your own blockade, and allow the crafts to Gaza…which will set a precedents for future aid (possibly hidden weapons) and open a route directly to Hamas who has declared War on Israel.
2) Board the ship and enforce the Israeli blockade on Gaza (international waters or economic borders or not)….currently according to UN Israel only allows ¼ of required aid to reach Gaza due to their ongoing blockade.
One thing Israelis weren’t counting on was the Aid workers attacking Commandoes with sticks, chairs and pushing them over the railing (there is a clear video) which might have set off the order to open fire. Erdogan knew very well that the Israelis would start shooting if provoked at the people he send to their deaths.
This was very stupid mistake by Israel and a major PR blunder for them and if true, a hell of a chess move by Erdogan.
