Ben Eliezer is an specialist in bowing his head and in appeasement, he follows orders from Barak in exchange of still being in politics. Defeatists like him are the cancer that's eating Israel!
2. finally
gokcen ataman ,   istanbul-turkiye   (01.12.10)
everything needs to be done in a polite and democratic manner. so i am very proud with our minister mr. celikkol s reactions, of not responding to the very rude showcase of mr. ayalon, and i want to thank mr. ben eliezer for finally speaking as an objective, grown up politician.
3. Decorum
Resistor   (01.12.10)
I think Danny Ayalon should be re-circumcised fro his behaviour.
4. Ruffled Feathers
Uncle Tom ,   USA   (01.12.10)
It is very sad Turkey PM continues hurling very public insults the past months at Israel. Turkey now gets admonished diplomatically in public and tells Israel to know its "place". Turkey does not like to get what it gives as its own feathers ruffled nor to be rebuked with its due proper and appropriate response. Hopefully the two nations will regain equal footing. However Israel ought not allow such lies and insult pass; it is not vassal of Turkey. Ben Eleizer is out of his domain and should work behind the scene to FM Lieberman
5. WE R OUR WORST ENEMY
CHAIM ,   MTL CANADA   (01.12.10)
look how jews work against JEWS
6. Ayalon's behavior.........
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (01.12.10)
.....was indeed somewhat puerile and the cameras were totally unnecessary. And to talk about the flag in Hebrew to the cameraman - well what the hell was that all about? Maybe the Turkish ambassador understands some Hebrew. Was it necessary then to insult him? We could see from his body language that he was uncomfortable - folding his arms in the corridor etc - wasn't it enough to leave the cameras outside? Ayalon should have asked Alon Liel to deal with it as he knows Turkey and the Turks much better than the rest of us.
7. to #2 that doesn't solve inciting against jews
ghostq   (01.12.10)
or Israel it seams people pic up on this stupid meeting while ignoring the fact that inciting against jews is on tv, so what r you going to do about it, simse racism is relative subject in your vocabulary.
8. to #3 lol I think he likes women.
ghostq   (01.12.10)
I know you find him atractive but this is not that type of media network.
9. Dhimmi Jew
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.12.10)
How dare Danny to stand up and be firm and tough.Doesn't he know he is supposed to be a good dhimmi. A good dhimmi always begs and capitulates and gets on his knees. Aylon will be shown his place as no Jew is permitted to hold his head high especially those in Israel's government. Fuad says Aylon was undignified . He is supposed to act like the Israeli Left. A dhimmi Jews who is quick to get on his knees and appease the Islamic hordes is only allowed . Those with a backbone are not permitted.
10. Put Turkey on the axis of evil list
(01.12.10)
11. Who asked you Bagel-boy?
Ron ,   Tel Aviv   (01.12.10)
What happened did they run out of fressarei(nosh, food borekas, pitot, chumous. etc.) that Bagel Boy is opening his mouth to complain?
12. Pathetic
James ,   Herzeliya   (01.12.10)
Its ok for sultan tayyip to trash Israel but when turkey's rep get reprimanded oyvavoy... Good for Lieberman to set the turks straight. Its about time. no more bowing heads to the turkish insults.
13. turkey
meyer shwartz ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.12.10)
coambasador ayalon was and is 100% correct, more power to him we need more like him.
14. dtand up but be smart
alexi   (01.12.10)
Eliezer is correct, ciriticize erdogan severely but don't dress down the ambassador in some office procedure because for better or worse, Turkey's honor is a trump card that it uses in every situation-be it greece, be it the EU. So attack erdogan's statements say they do not accord with reality, and are incorrect but do not say he is an imbecile which we would alll like to. erdogan is in bed with islamic extremism, yet turkey is an important country, and some delicacy is required even though erdogan behaves more like arafat.,
15. very bad situation
Can ,   Istanbul   (01.12.10)
There are many Turkish citizen who dont like terrorist groups like Hamas.And a stupid tv program cant change this.We support Israel for defending themselves against terrorists. But in our culture this kind of behaviour against our ambassador and against us is very important. Please check your deputy foreing minister.I think he is not the right person for you.
16. Did anyone ask ben eliezar's opinion?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (01.12.10)
Let that incompetent party hack shut up. It is bad enough he looks like a punchy Fred Flintstone. But he gives his dumb opinions like he was shimon peres number two.
17. Turkey = Chicken
Tellum Straight ,   Israel   (01.12.10)
18. Lieberman you did the right thing
Edna ,   Bath, UK   (01.12.10)
Turkey will pay for Recep Erdogan`s racist declarations and policies. This is the response to the Davos circus he made and all.
19. Ayalon is right
Russel Harris ,   Tlv   (01.12.10)
Be proud Israel; the Turks no longer deserve our respect.
20. Turkey is just chicken
Anon ,   Johannesburg   (01.12.10)
No pun intended... Ok maybe it was, whatever the case, Turkey no longer wanted in the Euro Zone, Canada, USA , Australia anywhere in the west. Turkey has become a bad place over a short period of time... soon your only friend will be Iran and Syria.. Just angry they can not be part of the EU and taking it out on Israel... bad loser
21. Ben Eliezer
Eyal ,   USA   (01.12.10)
Go on a diet and lose some weight and shut your trap while you added. Ayalon was right to say what he said and where is the apology from Erdogan. Bring back our envoy from Turkey, it's time to show the Turks what dignity is.
22. Screw the Turks,Ben Eliezer and Barak !
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.12.10)
23. Turkey, can you afford to loose a good friend?
Edna ,   Bath, UK   (01.12.10)
Erdogan is making an enemy of Israel, the country which has not reconized Armenian allegations. Is it a good idea to make enemy with that country? Turkey looks stupid to entire world for this act.
24. Ayalon for PM!
Gomel   (01.12.10)
It's time to be assertive.
25. Best time for Turkey to join forces to free Palestine
Ahmet   (01.12.10)
26. Turkey 95% right
KB Richard ,   Shelburne VT USA   (01.12.10)
Maybe Israel didn't actually kidnap any children before murdering them.
27. TO BEN ELIZAR
FADY EGYPT   (01.12.10)
GO TO TURKEY AND TAKE WITH U THE LABOR PARTY OF COURSE BARAK MUST BE WITH U I THING THERE U WILL DO GREAT JOB IN LEADING TURKEY
28. turkey
colin   (01.12.10)
Maybe change the name to TURNKEY. Now Israel with its groveling wimp Barak and his poodle the fat obese ben eliezer are trying the filthy underhand backstabbing in talks with the foreign ministry in turkey has turned the tables. FANTASTIC MEN --HANDLING BY AYALON AND LIEBERMAN TO BRING BACK RESPECT FOR ISRAEL Give those that insult Israel get the same insults ten fold. Keep up the good work and to hell with the groveling leftest wimps.
29. Turkey summons Israeli ambassador
Patrick ,   Israel   (01.12.10)

30. kol hakavod
Dan ,   Rimonim, Israel   (01.12.10)
Kol hakavod to Ayalon for finally defending Israel the way it should be defended. If one spits in our eyes, they should be slapped.
