32. At The End Of The Day
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (01.12.10)
We should not forget that Turkey is a Muslim nation and they can be trusted just about as much as Hamas' promise to release Shalit.
33. TO #10
Emre ,   Istanbul   (01.12.10)
First make your own shopping-list, before putting us to axis of evil list. I dont think there are many stupid people in Israel like you. I know they are smart people but managed with idiots....
34. #25 Ahmet - Don't be foolish.
Janice Cohen ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.12.10)
Turkey together with a whole Islamic axis would'nt be able to "free" Palestine. You would only suffer another humiliation if that's what you really want ?

Kool Haveavodka! Well done Turkey
36. Turkey vs Israel (to put it lightly)
Barbara ,   Israel   (01.12.10)
Don't understand what the big fuss is about. Turkey (through their leadership) can insult Israel, but Israel is not allowed to insult / humiliate the Turks. Anyone remember the Golden Rule?
37. Low class behaviour by Ayalon...
Marco ,   Spain   (01.12.10)
"Ankara does not intend on treating the Israeli ambassador the same way in which Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon treated the Turkish envoy". The Turks are proving once more that they have more class than some uncivilized clown in Israel who somehow fumbled his way into becoming deputy foreign minister..
38. No Nee to Summon, Kick of Israeli embasy in full and
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (01.12.10)
withdraw Turkish Embasy in Israel, We do not need any Embasy in Israel because we should not see any future relations with Israel Turkey must disallow double citizenship with israel and any double citizens of Israel in Turkey must immediately be deported from Turkey We do not need any Traitor working for Israeli interests in Turkey LET US SPEED UP PROCESS DO NOT WASTE TIME WITH SUMMONS
39. #37 oh now we have class division don't we ?
rachel ,   usa   (01.12.10)
how much of a humanitarian are you mister Marco el puerco ? " Low class" I am shocked coming from you doo gooder . what a hypocrite you are .......
40. Can - I agree with you but
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (01.12.10)
Shouldn't you get rid of your AKP and Errdogan before? They are not for you either. They started this mess at Davos and repeated many times despite the Israeli patience and good will to restore the bad blood. But it looks like there is no end to it.
41. #38 Tayfun
Edna ,   Bath, UK   (01.12.10)
I understand your anger at Israel very well after this incident with Mr. Ayalon s treatment of your ambassador. As you know this is the first time such an uncalled for humiliating and undiplomatic thing has been done by Israel. On the other hand I expect your understanding since the Turkish leadership starting with the PM Erdogan s harsh, undiplomatic and uncalled for words in Davos have been humiliating Israel many times showing open hostility by canceling the NATO exercise, Israel has been very patient. As you know there comes a moment for all that patience runs out. For Israel it took many Turkish hostilities until such a strong reply was given. Maybe now it is time for both sides to stop these unproductive acts and start making sense and be diplomatic. 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.
42. Turkish ambassador
lame bob ,   nyc   (01.13.10)
Can from Turkey #15: Ayalon should not humiliate the Turkish ambassador. He could sharply criticize Erdogan (who deserved to be punched for his lies and insults) but the ambassador is innocent.
43. enough with the humiliation bull are you children?
rachel ,   usa   (01.13.10)
or gang members who take a gun at each humiliation The Arab muslim world needs to grow up a little bit ...
44. Israeli "diplomacy"??
Altan ,   Turkey   (01.13.10)
What a brilliant move by Israel! What better move to do when there is friction with the current Turkish government, than to insult the entire Turkish state and its people! As a Turk I have personally been to Israel, you guys are better than this, come on. If what was done by the Israeli foreign ministry wasn't so ugly, I would almost believe that this was out of a famous Charlie Chaplin movie
45. Turkey Innocence
Samab ,   Karachi Pakistan   (01.13.10)
Israeli behaviour was unacceptable. Turkey being a powerful muslim country should show their strong reaction and closure of embassy in Israel unless the Dy. FM of Israel apologize in the apologize way.
46. Altan - I see you read Hurriyet today
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (01.13.10)
Therefore you are aware of the Charley Chaplin movie reference. Anyway. Although this behavior of Ayalon is undiplomatic and should not have happened you must understand that Israel showed a lot of patience with Turkey since Erdogan's Davos outburst and the false accusations that continued since. Just a few days ago he repeated during his press conference with Hariri. Altan you know very well that if Israel's PM had made a remark similar to the Davos remarks, eg: You Turks are all murderers you murdered millions of Armenians murder is the one thing you know best - would Turkey behave like Israel did? Think about it. Before you get angry at Israel start buy analyzing your leaders and their SNAFUs. Be fair.
47. #44 how about the antisemitism in the media all over the
rachel ,   usa   (01.13.10)
muslim world ...can you talk about that with a bit of outrage?
