Turkey, the so called ‘moderate Muslim’ country in Europe has been forced to cancel the second ‘Freedom Flotila’ Turkey pulled this stunt back in 2010, and their IHH members had nine people killed when they insgitaged violence against the Israelis. This time, the cowardly Turks are just going to send planes of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Owned! Turkey cancels second freedom flotilla |

In 2010, the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara, filled with anti-Israel rioters, attempted to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza. The flotilla and its relief organization had overtly planned on violating a sovereign country’s legal authority to continue a blockade of Gaza. When IDF forces boarded the ship, they were attacked by the crew of the “freedom flotilla,” forcing Israeli soldiers to draw arms and respond, which resulted in the death of nine of the Mavi Marmara’s passengers.
Turkey responded with fury to the incident, announcing that Israel’s ambassador to Ankara would no longer be allowed to stay there. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan also demanded an apology from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. After two years, Erdogan finally received his apology after US President Barack Obama continuously pressured the Israeli Prime MInister to do so.
Under international law, an attempt by a state-sponsored organization to break a blockade by another sovereign state can be defined as an act of war against the latter state.
Too bad fatila.
