The Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has delivered a furious speech to the Turkish parliament in Ankara.

"This attack should definitely be punished," he said to loud applause. "No one should test Turkey's patience... The foundation of peace in the Middle East is being rocked by the reckless attitude of Israel," he said.

"This bloody massacre by Israel on ships that were taking humanitarian aid to Gaza deserves every kind of curse," he added.

He also revealed that Turkey had sent two ambulance flights to Israel to pick up Turks wounded in the raid, and that another flight is on the way. He called for the immediate release of the injured and those who continued to be detained.

The speech was given a standing ovation.

I think Israel needs to be more careful when they handle Muslim affairs. Many Turks were arrested and all passengers were mistreated (not allowed to go to toilets, filmed etc.). There was a reporter that was shot in the face with a tear gas capsule and her eye will now have to be removed. I also believe that people died during these raids.

Did Israel have the right to act about the blockade? Yes.

Did they have the right to hurt people in it? No.

This attack failed on the basis that it has now made people even more angry.
