Jerusalem Post:

The IDF flotilla raid should be investigated by a New Zealand-lead committee, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Saturday.

Ban called for the commission to be lead by former New Zealand prime minister Geoffrey Palmer, and advised that Israeli and Turkish deputies join.

The UN-backed proposal was given to Israel over the weekend, and awaits an official Israeli response.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Saturday that he supports the formation of an inquiry committee on the IDF raid of the Mavi Marmara ship, as long as the soldiers who participated in the mission would not be investigated.

Sources in Barak’s office said that the defense minister backs an Israeli-led probe of the event, and if necessary, would support an international probe.

    A NATO Ally that should be defended after Israel board a Turkey ship?!! Didn’t Turkey attack one of our NATO Allies Greece over the island of Cypress?!! And when we needed to invade Iraq by using Turkey border to Iraq that they said NO!!! How many American Soldiers live would have been saved if we were allowed to attack Iraq from Turkey southern border? It would have shorten the war by weeks!! And don’t forget the two million Armenians that were wiped out in Turkey checkered pasted!!!
