    Relations between the two countries crumbled after Israeli marines stormed a Turkish ship in May 2010 to enforce a naval blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, killing 10 Turks on board.

    so let me understand Zionist thinking, hostile terror supporters including sitting member of your dear Knesset come with weapons and ammo to help HAMAS and when you send special forces to suppress them they get attacked and 8 JEWISH BOYS GET PARALYZED and in the battle 10 terror supporters get killed and now you pay those terrorists. Only in Zionist and Sodom/Omorro logic does this make sense.

    The only good thing to allegedly come from this, is that the Israeli soldiers will be indemnified. Unless the gas deal is a win win for DibLand.

    Other than that, Turkey should Be’H NEVER EVER see a Siman Brocha from that money!!
