The obvious is there for all to see, except Turkey's Jews. Migrate, migrate, migrate, before you become like Turkey's Kurds, or worse Armenians. Get out while you can, unless Turkey puts a stop to this hatred and violence against it's own people. To Turkey: You were the only country to aid Jews during WW2. Be proud of that. But now you face another challange.

be consumed with the hate their president spews. Trash, that's all it is. Can't wait to see how they are received by the europeans. Won't be surprised if they are embraced with open arms. europe is starting to fall to the dark side.

Those religious fanatics' banners and actions are directed at secular Turks much more than Israel or Jews. As usual, radicals use Israeli-Palestinian conflict to drive people to Islamism. They specifically target Turkish diplomats in one banner because secular diplomats and former diplomats who are now active in secular left wing party in Turkey openly criticise Erdogan's attitude during Gaza war. Erdogan and his party is using Gaza war for his own election campaign, not because he cares much about that conflict. So, do not confuse these banners as the general opinion of all Turks and do not verbally attack all Turks.

Erdogan wanted to be the man of the peace in Middle East, but Israel prevented that. Now he wants to be the man of the Arabic world instead. But sure...all Turks are like Erdogan...just like all Israelis are like Olmert.

not turkish

The Turkish leader has described anti-Semitism as a "crime against humanity" and said criticism of Israel should not be taken as an attack on Jews and their faith. And this is the greatest misunderstanding of all.... whatever is discussed in TB... Israelis, Jews do not understand that other countries separate religion and state (except Iran of course- and see how well that works!). It is not the Jews that have killed children and women in Gaza- but the Israeli army. This is what people see.... whenever anybody in the world DARES to critisize the force with which the army has attacked Gaza- immediately the TB is full of hate mails about everybody being anti-semitic..... this simply is NOT TRUE. I have talked to my Jewish friends about it- they do not understand the separation of state and religion. Israel is a modern democracy, more or less, and it is run like a state, having a budget, an army, etc. etc. there are a majority of Jews, but there are also Christians and Muslims living there. I agree with Mr. Erdogan, although I do not agree 100% with his temper tantrum in Davos (it was mostly the moderators fault, who cut him off because they were late for dinner????). The demonstrations in Europe are by Muslims speaking up for the people of Gaza..... I do not see many demonstrations by Jews in Europe speaking up for Israel. Do you expect people in Europe to demonstrate for Israel? Why? Do Israelis demonstrate for Darfur, the Kurds, the Chechens? If yes, it is very badly covered by Ynet and all the Israeli papers...

I agree with you both- the politicians in Israel are doing the same thing: trying to impress the voters. The timing, the rhetoric- sounds very much alike. people get very touchy when their politics and politicians are questioned- and there is much talk about hate- well it is a two-way street. Concerned realist: wow- you better calm down- nobody is joining anything right now....
