Erdogan threatens to send gunboats with next flotilla

Turkish PM says "we will not allow our ships to be exposed to Israeli attacks"; Israeli official: We are trying to avoid war of words.
Even as Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Thursday characterized the crisis with Ankara as “spilt milk,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened that Turkish gunboats would accompany Turkish “humanitarian” vessels the next time they set sail for Gaza.
The marked contrast in tone between the two leaders reflects the very different approaches Ankara and Jerusalem have taken to the current imbroglio, with Israeli ministers speaking little, and then relatively moderately about the situation, while Erdogan is leading a chorus of senior Turkish officials, from the president on down to the agriculture minister, lambasting and threatening Israel on a daily basis.
I think we all know the end of that story. Are those F-16I block 50's I hear overhead?
Turkey is an ENEMY of a ANY sovereign jewish state.
That is the WILL of the Turkish PEOPLE.
FACE IT.
Then dance.
"I can hear the sound of violence, long before it begins"
