Turkey seeks Israeli PR advice    Itamar Eichner
1. REASONS I AM NOT LOYAL ANYMORE TO YNET
CONTRADICTIONS IN STATEMENTS IN PRESS RELEASES AND YNET DOES NOT HAVE A REPORTER TO SEE IT OR WRITE ABOUT IT. LOOK AT TODAYS GLARING IN THE FACE "NEWS' 1)TURKEYS SEEKS 'PR' ADVISE FROM ISRAEL down the list is; 2) ANTI SEMEITIC TURKISH MOVIE RELEASED then 3) QASSAM ROCKET HITS ISRAEL next article 4) OLMERT SAYS HAMAS NOT A THREAT and ynet doesnt have any analysis of these releases. AND ynet censors accepts pt 1 of my 'in your face ""truths" but doesnt publish pt 2, which allows the readers to think of my statements as radical and unreasonable, where pt 2 ...justifies pt 1. i use to love the diversity of ynet, but either i changed from the history of events unfolding in Israel and the world or ynet NEVER CHANGED. ITS TIME THAT YNET VEERED 'ON' COURSE, unless ynet has so much emunah (faith) that they believe no matter what happens 'GD' IS PROTECTING them. or NO MATTER what transgressions the Israelsi and israeli government does , they will be protected. YOU DECIDE.

2. Israel's experience is a shining example of what NOT to do

3. I will let Turkey in on a secret
The easiest way to convince people you are Western and democratic is to be Western and democratic. There is always a need for PR, especially in this upside world when terrorists points of view are 'understood' but those that fight against terrorism are 'butchers'. www.kicisrael.blogspot.com

4. How about cleaning ur closet first...?
PR or not PR, Turkey first needs to start taking responsibility for its past and present crimes and violation of free speech, human rights. Admiting Armenian genocide for instance. Giving the Kurds minority status, for example. Stop jailing journalist for every criticism of the Turkish government policies... list goes on and on.

5. Dear Dacon9,
Dacon9, reasons you don't know what you're talking about: 1) In case you haven't noticed, and you haven't, the news is posted on the Ynet site not by rank order of importance, but rather by the time that each story was posted. The most recent news article is posted at the top. 2) The news articles are just that, news. Any analysis of the news would be the opinion of the Ynet staff, and would therefore go in the opinion section. Don't confuse opinion vs news. But, if you do decide to leave Ynet for good, the rest of us would gladly be spared your nonsensical religious ravings.

6. DEAR JOHN
IN CASE YOU HAVENT NOTICED.. YNET HAS AN OPINION SECTION . I DID NOT REFERENCE ORDER , I REFERENCED CONTENT AND EXPECTED AN OPINION OF THE CONTENT AS REPORTED AND THE LACK OF THE OPINION SECTION TO COMMENT ON THE CONTRADICTIONS. WHICH EVER CAME FIRST IS NOT OF ANY CONSEQUENCE. THE ULTIMATE CONTRADICTIONS IN AND ABOUT THE SAME TIME PERIOD , ARE OF CONSEQUENCE. DEAR JOHN. IN CASE YOU HAVENT NOTICED, MOST OF YNETS OPINION COLUMNIST ARE QUITE ONE SIDED AGAINST THE ACTUAL EVENTS AS WITNESSED well seen through their glasses i suppose. BUT THATS THE NEWS. ITS HOW YOU REPORT IT AND NOT HOW IT WAS. THANK YOU NOTICING , by the way,, whats YOUR OPINION? AND IF YOU WOULD LEAVE, THE REST OF US WOULD MISS YOU AND YOU AND *YOUR NON RELIGIOUS ***FAILED*** WAY OF LIFE OPINION. NOW...WOULD YOU HAVE TOLD THAT TO MOSES? OR TO ANY FALSE 'GD' THAT YOU MAY BELEIVE IN? I DONT THINK SO. everyone has some reason to be here. yuouR reason and my reason is to present what we know.. the readers choose what they want, right or wrong, then live out their existence right or wrong, then the heavens decide where we will be. WHat ever i decide,,will be a temporary state of mind as the world changes and we adapt. WITH 'GD' IN FRONT OF US AT ALL TIMES. BE WELL

7. They shouldn't read Ynet then...
The Turkish support the Hamas and Iran and then they want...to look modern... Come on ! Is this a joke ? With the quality of the news in this web-site, Israel is risking its repuration as a modern country.

8. Israeli PR Needs Its Own Resusitation
This has got to be a cruel and sick joke. The Israeli PR machine is barely on life support. Who in their right minds would ask Israel for help in this area? If we were talking science, technology, medicine, agriculture, but PR?

Want to be a modern and free society? Easy! Start acting like one. The problem some of the Backward-Countries have is that they act like a bunch of Medieval Caravan Raiders out to score a camel.

10. PR advice for the Turks

13. Turkey seeks Israeli PR advice
How much help Turkey needs from Israel to defeat Turkey's true immage. No matter how much help Turkey receives from anyone truth prevails. For how long you can deceive the most of the people trough PR campaigns. Turkey's effort is in vain. Thanks for the article anyhow the information provided is accurate.

It all relates. Since we have the technology, science etc. We are considered a modern west country. The turkish people think it's PR when it really isn't. It's the reality, we are a modern west country (even though we're in the middle east). They don't need PR, they need to start working on their production abilities.

15. dacon
it would be good for you to find someone to talk about your personal problems. you are a very confused person. you should accept it and make the first step to help yourself. i guess you will answer to this but sorry we won't be able to take you serious. it's all 'blablabla' what comes out of your mouth, whatever you say. talk to a doctor, or someone you think that could help you to solve your problems. good luck to you

16. # 15 TRUE, I AM BOTTOM FISHING
THERE IS A POSSIBLITY THAT YOU LACK THE ABILITY TO GRASP MY MEANING. SOMETIMES THERE IS A DEEPER MEANING TO WORDS THAN WHAT IS ON THE SURFACE.. GEE THERE I GO AGAIN TRYING TO HELP THE IGNORANT SEE THE LIGHT.. YES THAT MAKES ME THE FOOL... a book By RD Laing,, called KNOTS

18. Racism
Racism all over the place.

19. So hard to sugar coat the real truth, why bother trying?????

20. THE ENTIRE SO CALLED CIVILISED WEST ARE BRAIN WASHED!
It is the truth behind “bad image” of my dear country: here are the reasons why YOU are so ignorant about Turks. 500 years ago the entire Christian Europe was burning the Jews alive, but only Turks welcomed the Jews and gave them a home. 2nd world war again Turks welcomed all refugee Jews from all over Europe, while Nazis are banking their gold in “neutral Swiss.” Please read something about Gallipoli and learn the art of war, not like the ones your ancestors fight, torturing the civilians, killing for money and for gold or oil! In Turkiye there is no discrimination against any sex or race, we live side by side in harmony. Provocations and some people with other agendas make all the trouble. We lived together for more than 1000 years and will not be separated. If you ever get to know a Turk or come to visit my dear country you will enlighten and learn a lot from my culture. Ignorance is the worst enemy of humanity. If you get to know other cultures you would not think and act like racists.
