Jewish Students in Israel to Form their Own Flotilla to Turkey?
Jewish Students in Israel to Form their Own Flotilla to Turkey?
"Our wish is to talk with the members of the flotilla, to see if they want to talk to us, and to ask them why the problems of Israel, and in Gaza....are disturbing them," Toporovsky told Haaretz last night. "We would ask why they are not talking about the Kurdish minority or the Armenians that were murdered or many other problems? We want to expose the truth, this hypocrisy and the absurdity." http://networkedblogs.com/4FJvF what do you thing about this initiative?

Great idea to expose Turkish hypocrisy and the absurdity. But is it safe?
2 :
Naive Israelis... It could be very dangerous to them. What Muslims are allowed to do, others are not allowed.
3 :
If you were sincere, we have already given you the answers regarding PKK. However, what Israelis do not know is most of the "Turks" they killed were Turkish citizens of Kurdish decent and, therefore, even the so-called political wing of PKK harshly criticizes Israel. They will see that the group has many members of Kurdish descent. About the Armenian issue, there has never been any insincerity about the subject whether you believe this or that side of the story. However, Israel and its lobby sided and supported Turkish side for a very long time and now Israel supports Armenian side of the story. However, you still dare to talk about "hypocrisy" and "sincerity".

It's a nice idea Greenie, but I also think it's naive. If theywere a 100% sure that they would meet with real peace activists, interested in understanding and improving, that would be good. Unfortunately that does not exist. It will always be exploited and used by those that have no peaceful intentions whatsoever. And the geo-politics of the region are so important for so many rulers of so many countries that they can not just let that ocasion pass by.

I never heard of a blockade against civilians Kurds or civilians Armenians in Turkey.If there is a blockade against civilians kurds or civilians Armenians you can count me in your initiative as you should join in the humanitarian effort to stop the blockade against civilians in Gaza.You are missing the whole subject in here ,the Flotilla was a humanitarian aid for civilians not for military disputes or political reasons.
6 :
Turkey won't kill any of them believe me. They will give them all support they need instead. And Kurds have Turkish citizenship and they enjoy 100% full rights. Israel has lot to learn from Turkey before you all scream ' the only democracy on the planet'
7 :
An amazing way to take the attention off the 1.5 suffering Palestinians in Gaza.
8 :
It is a stupid idea, and one that will most likely get them arrested, injured, kidnapped or killed. They actually think that the brainwashed masses in Turkey or anywhere else really care to listen? or that they care to understand? They are brainwashed and blinded by hate, so this whole exercise is no more than an exercise in futility.

if you want to study at an american university the first thing you need to do is go to the university website. find the link to ADMISSIONS and there you will find information on the admission requirements for FOREIGN STUDENTS or INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS. Normally the process is as follows: 1. apply to the university (send the application along with the TRANSCRIPTS, or records from the university in your country.) (of course, if you do not have any college credit from your country then this does not apply to you) 2. normally in order to get accepted you have to provide evidence that you will be able to pay for your school costs as well as pay for medical insurance while you are attending school. This is normally done by filling out a form that will also be in the Foreign Students Admission section along with tax papers from your parents or from whoever is going to pay for your tuition that shows that they make enough money to pay. 3. you will also need to take the TOEFL exam. this exam can be taken in your home country. it measures your ability to read, write and speak English. Once you take this test you will also send the results to the school. most schools have a minimum grade in order to be accepted (get information on where to take this test by going to the TOEFL website.) 4. Once you get accepted the university will mail you a letter of admission which you will use in your country when you go to the United States consulate in order to apply for an F1 VISA (which is a student Visa for foreign students) That is pretty much all you need. there might be some special requirements depending on the university but overall this is the process. Try to go to the websites and get information for yourself because i might be forgetting something.

The NY Times is only written at the 9th grade level. Is it really that difficult to understand? So like this Turkish dude who is from a Kurdish Region of Turkey (do you know who the Kurds are? If not do a quick Wikipedia) decided to strap a bomb to his a$$ and take out himself plus 32 other people. The only problem is that he wasn't very good at his job and he's the only one that met his maker. Before this very sad event, the Kurdish illegal rebel group (called the PKK) had been enjoying a 2-month cease fire with the Turkish Government. Even though the PKK denied the attack and wanted to extend the cease-fire by another 8 months, everyone knows that 24 year old (now dead) Vedat Acar joined this really bad gang in 2004. He was likely training at a PKK camp in Iraq before returning to Turkey on in August. The Kurds are Turkey's largest minority and many hope for a peaceful resolution to the current fight which has already killed 40,000 since the early 1980s. Read up on the Kurds which I think is the only confusing part of this article unless you are confusing the country where this happened and the bird you are getting ready to eat on Thursday. Very different.
