Turkey accused Israel on Friday of breaking biblical commandments against killing and said it could cut ties with its one-time ally to a minimum after nine Turkish activists died in a raid on a ship bound for Gaza.
"I am speaking to them in their own language. The sixth commandment says 'thou shalt not kill'. Did you not understand?" Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said in his harshest words yet since Israeli commandos raided the Mavi Marmara on Monday.
"I'll say again. I say in English 'you shall not kill'. Did you still not understand?. So I'll say to you in your own language. I say in Hebrew 'Lo Tirtzakh'," he said in a televised speech to supporters of his Islamist-leaning AK Party.
As relations plunged to their worst since the two countries forged a strategic relationship in the 1990s, Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc also said military and economic agreements with Israel were now on the table for discussion.
"We are serious about this subject," Arinc told the Turkish NTV news channel in an interview.
"We may plan to reduce our relations with Israel to a minimum, but to assume everything involving another country is stopped in an instant, to say we have crossed you out of our address book, is not the custom of our state," he said.

And apparently, Bibi is now off their Christmas Card list, as well.

Tell that to the Armenians.
Do not Muslims REJECT the 10 Commandments?
This from the religion that straps suicide belts on its own children.
As he still has the minority party locked up in prison ready for who know what will happen to them.
“Thou shalt not commit murder” is a more accurate interpretation.
Turkish PM = Idiot The funny thing is that he (like all idiots) probably thinks he’s so smart and witty.
. . . . except Armenian Christians and anyone who speaks publicly of such things in Turkey.

Someone in Turkey who did not get the memo.
Ground control to Major Tom....
He should reply, “I would cite the Koranic reference to ‘Thou Shall Not Kill’, but oops!, hey, I guess there isn’t one! So, you Muslims can just kill anyone you want, anytime you want? Then it sure sounds like a good idea to not let any of you close enough to be able to kill us, huh?”
You meant to say “legal blockade”.
Thou shalt not kill does not mean you have to stand and let them beat the pee out of you with pipes and thrown glass bottles.
The proper translation is “thou shalt not murder.”
