Washington — Turkey’s foreign minister said Tuesday that his government is “not happy” with the U.S. response to Israel’s raid on an aid flotilla carrying humanitarian goods bound for blockaded Gaza.

“We expect full solidarity from the United States,” Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said before a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “We are not happy with the U.S. statement from yesterday.”

Davutoglu called on the United States to condemn the attack, express solidarity with the families of the victims and exert pressure on Israel to free prisoners taken during the raid.

“Israel thinks it’s above the law,” Davutoglu said. He warned that if some countries choose to follow the “rule of the jungle … we know what to do.”

Turkey is dang near on the warpath here. Considering they are in NATO and Israel is not, this latest round of Israeli violence against civilians might very well probably explode in their face.
