Turkey has issued arrest warrants for four former senior Israel Defense Forces officers and plans to indict them over the deaths of nine Turkish nationals during a botched raid on a Turkish-sponsored flotilla to Gaza in 2010.
The officers in question are former IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, former Military Intelligence chief Amos Yadlin, former commander of the navy Eliezer Marom, and former head of air force intelligence Avishai Levi. The four are accused of giving the orders for the raid on the Mavi Marmara, in which nine Turks were killed after passengers brutally assaulted the naval commandos who boarded the ship.
According to the Turkish newspaper Sabah, the officers will be arrested if they ever set foot in Turkey.
Local experts in international law noted that Turkey could ask Interpol to issue a so-called "red notice" for the four, in which case they would be liable to be arrested any time they visited any country that is a member of Interpol.

When the famous author James Joyce was told he had been sentenced to death by the IRA in absentia, he replied with “And I hope they carry out the sentence in the same way”
That this turgid comment by the bloated Turkish dude merely shows he is out of touch with reality and the rest of the world.
If a country says we will not allow goods into this area without inspection, then expect to get inspected. Or yo can fight yo way thru, like the Allies, D-Day and Germany. But the Turkish farce showed that once again if yo rely on English left wing newspapers to protect yo, it is very similar to relying on a sheet of wet newspaper to stop a bullet.
Wot is amazing is the number of fool headed white jewbaiters who insist on fighting on behalf of the lebs, unaware that the lebs would not lift a fart for them.
So pretty much everyone got wot they deserved, and the ship got inspected.
Hahhahahhahhaahhah!
