U.S. lawmakers warned Turkey that its ties with Washington would suffer if it continued on what they considered an anti-Israel path.
"There will be a cost if Turkey stays on its present heading of growing closer to Iran and more antagonistic to the state of Israel," Representative Mike Pence, the No. 3 Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, said.
At a news conference, Republicans and Democrats denounced NATO ally Turkey for supporting an aid convoy of ships that recently...

I'm sorry, when exactly did Israel ever get "attacked"? In the history of Israel's wars, Israel has been the agressor and the one to strike first.

The war began with a massive and successful Egyptian attack across the heavily-fortified Suez Canal during the first three days, after which they dug in, and the southern front settled into a stalemate. In the north, the Syrians simultaneously attacked the critical Golan Heights and initially achieved threatening gains, after which their momentum waned.
Defense strategist Kenneth Pollack notes that, "Although the Egyptians continue to tout the Yom Kippur War as a great victory, in truth, their successes were modest and their failures equal or greater than their achievements."[207] As for the Syrians, Pollack notes that, "Syrian forces performed extremely poorly against the highly skilled Israelis." He further states that, "more than anyting else, this huge imbalance between Syrian incompetence and Israeli hypercompetence led inexorably to Syria's defeat."[208] According to Pollack, "Syrian tactical capabilities were so poor that they took good Soviet tactics and made them bad and took bad Soviet tactics and made them worse."

Turkey is obviously trying to start a war under the false flag of humanitarianism.

Members of Congress on Wednesday blasted Turkey for its role in the Gaza flotilla and for strengthening its ties with Iran, Agence France Presse reported. In recent weeks, Turkey helped broker a deal for Iran to keep enough enriched uranium for one nuclear weapon, voted against U.N. Security Council sanctions on Iran's nuclear program and recalled its envoy from Israel in the aftermath of the flotilla. "If we look at what the Turkish government has done in the past couple of years: they certainly have a very strong Islamic bent, but a bent in terms of looking towards Iran, and looking towards the Middle East, and not looking at the West and NATO anymore," said Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY). Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) also had a firm warning for Turkey. "There will be a cost if Turkey stays on its present heading of growing closer to Iran and more antagonistic to the state of Israel," he said.

I'm sorry death and violence makes you happy.
You haven't even considered that maybe ISRAEL is the one "trying to start a war under the false flag" of attacking a humanitarian ship on INTERNATIONAL WATERS?
Israel was not "surprise attacked". They boarded a ship full of people defending themselves against commandos with fully automatic weapons. You don't think the flotilla was "surprise attacked". I didn't hear of anyone shooting at the Israeli ships. There weren't any military commandos with bullets between THEIR eyes.

Are you serious? Can you accurately answer the questioned posed? I sure didn't see it in your post.
