Turkey's prime minister Tayyip Erdogan has condemned Israel's attack on an aid convoy bound for Gaza, describing it as an action of state terrorism.

"This action, totally contrary to the principles of international law, is inhumane state terrorism. Nobody should think we will keep quiet in the face of this," Mr Erdogan told reporters from Chile, where he was cutting short an official visit to Latin America to deal with the crisis.

Earlier the Turkish government warned Israel would "suffer the consequences" after at least 10 pro-Palestinian activists were killed when Israeli commandos boarded a convoy of aid ships.

Well said.

1. TURKEY insisting that massacre is an inappropriate political tool?

Do the Palestinians agree?

4. Which ones? The 1400 palestinians massacred during OCL?

Or the 1.5 million under siege by Israel?

The bodies of the victims of the latest Israeli massacre are still warm and you try to deflect the critique onto the palestinians.

Classy

2. I think Israel is badly underestimating the problem that could represent a non friendly Turkey.

3. Some just don't get the fact that terrorism and inhumane state terrorism are not committed by the

guys who wear the white hats: these are committed solely by the guys who wear the black hats and only we have a say who wears those different-colored hats. :P
