'Freedom Flotilla II' set to sail for Gaza from Turkey (With Turkish military protection)
Jerusalem Post ^ | 7/28/2014 | Jerusalem Post

Posted on 07/27/2014 9:23:57 PM PDT by Dallas59

Amid Israel’s Operation Protective Edge to stop Hamas attacks from Gaza, a “Freedom Flotilla” is being organized in Turkey to bring humanitarian aid to the Hamas-controlled Palestinian coastal enclave with the protection of the Turkish military, according to an unconfirmed media report.

The flotilla, called “Freedom Flotilla II,” is being organized by the Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), the same organization that was behind the Mavi Marmara flotilla that sought to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip in May 2010.

Israel Navy commandos boarded the ship, were attacked, and killed nine of the attackers.

This will not end well. Nor should it as it is provocative.

Turkey wants a war with Israel. That’s about the only conclusion here.

I would love to see Israel perform a root and branch destruction of the Turkish Air Force and Navy.

After the IDF takes care of Hamas it will need it’s resources to deal with Iran.

When you’re talking Turkey, you’re talking a more modern nation than Syria, Iran, and some of the other looser nations over there.

I don’t like the idea of mixing it up with Turkey, because there are too many idiot nations out there that might want to come to it’s defense. Russia and this mad-dog Vlad come to mind.

This could get very ugly.

Turkey has become more radicalized through these past few years.

It would be ugly.

And Turkey would be wounded, embarrassed and pissed off.

It’s coming.

Admitting Turkey to NATO was stupid. NATO will not come to Turkeys aid in a conflict with Israel.

On paper Turkey looks formidable but in a real dust-up with Israel they would very quickly get their ass handed to them.

As well as being an ally and NATO member for sixty years.

“Turkey wants a war with Israel. That’s about the only conclusion here.”

Erdogan needs an external war to distract from the internal strife.

He’s already tried it once, with the Syrian false flag, in support of Obama’s failed attempt to attack Syria.

Now he’s trying with Israel, the eternal enemy.

It was my take they weren’t in NATO yet. As for being an ally, I’m not sure they are after the leadership change a few years back.

I could be wrong on all these counts, but it seemed there was a push for Turkey to join something or other a few years back. I didn’t think it went through.

Perhaps someone can remind me.

Well, having observed his actions in recent years, I don’t disagree.

Here we go! This looks like a good a trigger as any to escalate the aggression towards God’s chosen.
