Report: Turkey navy to escort aid ships to Palestinians in Gaza

The Turkish navy will significantly strengthen its presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea as one of the steps the Turkish government has decided to take following the release of the UN Palmer report on the 2010 Gaza flotilla, Turkish officials told the Hurriyet Daily News.

"The eastern Mediterranean will no longer be a place where Israeli naval forces can freely exercise their bullying practices against civilian vessels," a Turkish official was quoted as saying.

Kid, I've been to Israel and it still doesn't change the fact that Islam is a misogynist culture. Women are treated as chattel slavery

That may be true in parts of the Islamic world but how does that justify or has anything to do with muslim, christian women,children and other Palestinian civilians being killed , oppressed and mistreated?

Regardless of religion they belong to, lets agree that only lowlife cowards and scum mistreat/oppress defenseless women and children.
