The Cancer List; 1. Anti-Semitizm 2. Anti-Islam 3. The Crusaders 4. The Religious fights in Islam These are good enough to make many families hurt as Shalit's family. ----------- Years ago, when I was in The US, we (Christians, Jew friends and me) used to not talk about any religion. But when I look at real world (News, comments, articles) I see HATE IS EVERY WHERE. Three big religions. Three big fights. Why we came to this world ? for religious life ? how can we see the world clear with RELIGIOUS EYE-GLASSES ? Atilla Karagözoğlu Istanbul atilla_karagozoglu@yahoo.com

ten months ago, I didnt know what is hate, I mean the reall mean of hate. But even me, I start recieve hate messages. All dirty words, killing words. They dont even know me. They .....my family They kill my family They rape my familiy They call me Muslim prick, Turkish shit. WHY ? We said we are for peace. Should I be Terrorist ?

I see all religions expect for its own messangers. If He/She comes (I dont believe anyone will come, this is my personal believe) what will do ? I dont believe He will be stupid. Why we simply not show our hearts ? Why we afraid to show our anger ? am I stupid to show as much as I can ? No. WE KNOW HOW TO LOVE, WE ALSO KNOW HOW TO NOT LOVE. Atilla Karagözoğlu

there will be no normal in world. lets not lose our humanity. we are not gang. we are normal citizens. any man can turn into bad. but NOT ME. I dont care if some call me a simple peace man, a simple muslim. I am not GOD. But If I was, I COULD FORMAT NEW BRAINS TO BAD PEOPLE. No doubt. Atilla Karagözoğlu

Atilla get a grip....your talkbacks don't make much sense....you ask if you should be a terrorist....very strange....btw I love Istanbul, beautiful city, nice people. Happy New Year!!

thanks. you did put some smile on my face. your people beautifull too. what new year what ??? You are a Jew I am a Muslim That is our Christian Friends new year :)))) But, why not to celebrateeee :))) Happy New Year From Istanbul to Tel Aviv :) Hey, dont drink and driving that night :) Atilla Karagözoğlu :)

I wouldn't say that attila's talkbacks are nonsense; on the contrary, my turkish friend displays great sensitiveness when time comes to talk about how to respect one another. Unfortunately, and I used to live in Israël for three years in the 80's, people are still callous and even more since then!!! FORTUNATELY, there is people like attila who brings fresh air to this talkback. Thank you AGAIN for your optimistic point of view you share with us in a daily basis, and for your relentless struggle to change mentality...but I wonder if that is not a wasted effort after all. I really envy your never being disappointed albeit there were signs of impatience in your last talkback faced with hatred messages. I fully understand you BUT keep on your good job my friend!

How many Jewish Children will die if these prisioners are released. Remember the Sheik who founded Hamas was released in a exchange and suicide bombings quickly followed at his direction. Over a 1000 Israelis were killed.

Your talkbacks don't make any sense whatsoever. Anyone who claims they understand what you print is lying. Why don't you take an English course before attempting to write in a language that is so very foreign to you. And don't you have anything better to do? You seem to appear on every talkback the ynet news provides?

Lets hope that the New Year will bring tollerance to all ignorant people in the world....to accept people for WHO they are , NO MATTER what colour, race, religion or sexual preferance they are/have... people are most afraid for something they don't know, e.g. different religion, looks, or sexual preferance... Peace, Shalom and Sa'alaam to all ..

And not a word of the suffering families of the thousand and more Palestinian prisoners in Israel, hypocrites! Shame shame, shame. Let him rot for ever.

Now ask your "open minded" muslim friend what he think of you as a NON-musilm. Ask him what HIS quran ask him to do when he meet you... Good luck!

Dont hate your muslims friend, but watch out of Islam! Never trust a word which comes in the name of Islam. The muslims are also victims, not knowing many times what Islam is all about, they are born with it and hence blinded by it.

My thoughts are with you and your sons all the time. Really wish we could do more than signing petitions and attend rallies. Hang in there!!

you'd speak very very differently. That's why you have the armchair comfort of being there in the USA and making such a statement. Dont forget all our children here have to do national service instead of going to university which they'd much prefer. Gilad Shalit is the son of ALL of us and everything must be done to release him. Anyone of us in Israeli could be in Noam and his wife's shoes, God forbid.

Please don't bash "our Atilla". He is neither dumb or naive. He just sound like a super human being and I wish he was G-d...The World might become a better place for all of us.

#18 If it was your Son Killed by a terrorist let go by Olmert how would you feel. Hamas Founder Sheik yassin let go and 1000 are killed because of it? I was there in 73 and had friends killed and wounded looseing loveones is not easy but I would not want other deaths in my heart just to save my son if his release caused many more deaths.

if we paid a price for TANNENBOIM I do not understand why this government is undergoing any hesitation. we brought back an outcast to society, a criminal and our soldiers we leave behind. ohlmert - if you cannot produce then RESIGN.

We feel for the families of the captured soldiers, but those like Noam Shalit are in fact putting both his life and those of his countrymen at greater risk by insisting the country "pay any price" to get him back. In the bazaar that is the Middle East, the more one shows he wants something, the higher will be its ultimate price. Note how the price for Gilad's return started with "female and teenage" prisoners, then rose to include hundreds of males, now well past the thousand mark. Each time Olmert opens his mouth to speak of the "high price" Israel is willing to pay, the price goes up and Gilad's ordeal goes on. Jewish tradition was quite firm on the obligation to redeem Jewish captives, but that obligation was qualified by a prohibition on paying so high a price that it encourages further captives. Note how after each "successful" exchange, such as that in 2004, our adversaries insist that more such captures will follow. Obviously such a strategy is working! Let's not forget that the more unrepentant terrorists are freed, the more Israelis will ultimately perish at their hands.
