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.

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.

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'

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.
