You are 100% mistaken, Turkey did no such thing. You are also mistaken about serious violations of resolutions. Please become educated before you comment.
Mea culpa you're right. It happened two years ago.
The Gaza flotilla raid was a military operation by Israel against six ships of the "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" on 31 May 2010 in international waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The flotilla, organized by the Free Gaza Movement and the Turkish Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (İHH), was carrying humanitarian aid and construction materials, with the intention of breaking the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Wrong.
If a country cant even admit to its own genocide, how can he point the finger at another?
Its hypocrisy.
How about Mr Erdogan admits to past genocide, and current failures?

I just don't agree. It's not pointing fingers, it's stating the obvious.
Maybe i'm a hypocrite too then, i go around bashing muslim (religious) peoples in general but i still don't think it's ok to kill them.
Erdogan should definitely admit to that, in the meantime he said something true and just.

I agree with a fair bit of what you said, however, I believe that if the blockade/embargo is lifted, Hamas will import more weapons rather than improve the life of citizens there. These weapons, when used, lead to retaliation, which is what is happening now. Its tit for tat and has been for years, its just that Israel has better weapons. Firing missiles from sites next to schools, hospitals, homes, leads to innocent civilian deaths. So do suicide bombers on buses and in restaurants. Obviously Israel has caged the people of Gaza, but that being what it is, Hamas' behavior begs for Israel to fire back, leading to this back and forth killing for which both sides are guilty. A sad state of affairs and example of human nature. Nothing new though. Just current.

How about we start with why the blockades started, I am glad you finally admit you have NO CLUE about the blockades. Maybe you can do some research. Hey, here is an exercise in logic. Israel has a blockade up because they say Hamas will attack them from Gaza. Hamas attacks Israel from Gaza. Gee, you're right, they should take it down they are clearly wrong about Hamas' intentions.

So if Israels Prime Minister stated the Obvious about Turkey, then what?
What problems are solved by saying this, when the World can say the same thing about Turkey?

How would you feel?
With that said, how long does this blockade last? It's already been 6 years. If you're honestly looking for peace, you have to give and take. Caging them into submission, meeting resistance with more aggression, these tactics do not build peaceful relationships.
