TURKEY THREATENS ISRAEL'S NAVY AND THE ISRAELI NAVAL BLOCKADE OF GAZA WITH TURKISH NAVY AND NATO ARTICLE 5

The Turkish Navy will bolster its presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to prevent Israeli operations, Turkish officials said over the weekend, as the crisis between Jerusalem and Ankara intensified following the publication of the Palmer Report on last year’s flotilla conflict.

“A more aggressive strategy will be pursued. Israel will no longer be able to exercise its bullying practices freely,” a Turkish diplomatic source was quoted as saying in the Hurriyet Daily News. The source said that the navy would accompany ships bringing aid to the Gaza Strip.

Turkey has threatened to deploy its navy to accompany aid ships to the Gaza Strip in the past.

Ahead of the recent flotilla that tried to set sail from Greece in June, the Israel Navy had raised concern that Turkish Navy ships would accompany Turkish aid ships. Such a scenario however never materialized.
I THINK THAT AFTER SO-CALLED "PALESTINIAN" ARABS DECLARE ANOTHER STATE IN THE WEST BANK AND GAZA, THAT TURKEY WILL ACCOMPANY A FLOTILLA AND COUNTER-ATTACK.

IN CONCERT WITH IRAN AND FATAH AND HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH, TURKEY IS ATTEMPTING TO FORCE NATO TO ATTACK ISRAEL - OR AT LEAST COMPLETELY ISOLATE ISRAEL.

YES, IMHO: TURKEY WILL ATTEMPT TO USE NATO ARTICLE 5, (THE WHOLE FLOTILLA STRATEGY IS BASED UPON IT).

HERE IS NATO ARTICLE 5:

Article 5 of the Washington Treaty:

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.

NATO's Strategic Concept recognises the risks to the Alliance posed by terrorism.

What does Article 5 mean?

Article 5 is at the basis of a fundamental principle of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. It provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked.

This is the principle of collective defence.
STAY TUNED...

We all know who's behind the curtain pulling the strings, my guess their weekly calls will increase drastically.They need the rocket shield as protection from a retaliation of Israel.Will Obama actually allow Turkey to attack a US Firm (Nobel) working in Cyprus?

What will happen if Turkey attempts to attack an 'Israeli Naval Vessel' Do you think israel will just allow that to happen!
I can assure you that Turkey will have a very big surprise coming to them if they think that they can get away with their threatening tactics on behalf of 'Hamas and therest of those Jew-hating vermin'

I guess threatening Israel, although a bad idea, is still in vogue. Lately it's been the Palestinians, then Egypt and now it's Turkey shooting off their mouths. Frankly I would like to see the Turkish navy clash with Israel. The clash would be short and sweet and the Turkish navy would end up becoming a natural reef for the fish in the sea. But alas this will never happen. Turkey is really a chicken.
