it is fully understandable why Turkey is outraging. Turkish citizen were killed by a neighboring country. No country can accept that.
however, quietly, behind the scenes, PM Erdogan should remind himself that it is reasonable to assume that ... however flawed was the israeli planning, however questionable is the gaza siege, how wrong is the whole chain of decisions made by the israelis... ... it is still possible to assume that not ALL passengers were peaceFUL activists. There was only a handful of passengers who were violent. This handful of violent activists were actually willing to kill an israeli soldier. An israeli soldier that went to full fill an indeed questionable mission, yet he had no idea that among the peaceful activists, there are those who do not share the same peaceful intentions...

would it look different if no violence was used by the violent activists?
probably yes. the cargo would reach its destiny, the message to the world would have been clear and respectable, not a bit less.
the peace activists will have to check themselves now.
and yes, also Israel.
and yes, also Turkey should.
and yes, the whole world should check what the hamas is doing in Gaza also.
So Turkey has the right to be angry. But at the same time, do not forget that the peaceful activists went to visit in Gaza, where a deadly terror organization, who lost the sympathy of Egypt, Jordan and the Fatah.
all must ask themselves - why the hamas lost those allies.


Sad. All looses.
Time for a change. Need to search for the way. So all could go on forward.
