1. NO need to apologize
Brod ,   USA   (01.13.10)
Turkey has been colluding with Israel's enemies in crusading their Jihadism on Israel. There is no need for Ayalon to apologize for defending his country against external intrusions and aggressions. Israel should say NO to their crap. They are just distracting Israel from focusing it eyes on the Ayatollahs' nuke ambition as Iran accelerates its production of nukes.
2. Bad for Israel
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron Israel   (01.13.10)
Worst for Israel is what this MKs are doing, Shimon Peres' always fearing approach to Israel haters. The only way that they will respect us in the world is not to bow our heads. Cowards are depicted all over the world, no matter if they understand that or not. We must be proud and not shy, they don't like us, it's their problem!
3. israel is aggressive and arrogant
masjnoe   (01.13.10)
so srael has to appologize to turkey and the whole world is watching the war criminal israel appologizing and going to its knees. this is just the begining , the bunch of arrogant war criminals. brothersof bush
4. one or the other
Michael ,   Haifa   (01.13.10)
this Ayalon person is either suffering from a severe IQ deficiency or from a similarly severe personality disorder, if this is his perception of diplomacy
5. ISRAEL STILL DON T GET THE POINT . THIS IS ABOUT GAZA ! ...
..THIS IS ABOUT GAZA ,   ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (01.13.10)
WHAT AYALON DID WAS A SHAME. LETS FORGET IT. LETS TALK ABOUT GAZA ! ERDOĞAN AND MY PEOPLE ARE VERY UPSET AND ANGRY ABOUT ISRAELI LIVE TERROR ON GAZA. ISRAEL MUST END THAT. ISRAEL MUST GIVE THE RESPONSIBLES TO WORLD WAR COURT. *** AYALON LIEBERMAN AND THE SUPPORTERS OF THEM ! THEY FACE WHAT THEY DID. THE BULLET ALREADY FIRED. NO NEED PANIC. SOMEPARTY WILL GET HURT.
6. Good Idea!
Chatich   (01.13.10)
In fact, why stop at apologizing? Why don't we all hurl ourselves into the Medeterranean to show the nice terrorists how sorry we are? Pathetic!
7. I do not understand
Vijay ,   India   (01.13.10)
Israel is getting worked up over what a TV program depicts? What am I missing? I admire Israel for a lot of things- but this is surprising. Here in India we see a lot of stuff on TV that are not complementary to our own government. You see any Hollywood spy movie, and usually the plot involves some wayward US intelligence agent. Why does a government need to apologize for what a TV program- privately made- has to say?!!! Besides this, of course, it is a pretty low blow to insult a diplomat! What am I missing here?
8. Ayalon forced to apologize to turkey - RIDICULOUS!
marlene ,   Philadelphia, USA   (01.13.10)
Did Ayalon bow down too?
9. Sizzle, not steak
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.13.10)
Go ahead; apologize. Foiled again, Iran! Is that the best that the Islamic Republic can do? Why not bring it on yourself, rather than using your pet client states, assorted terrorist riffraff that you bankroll and threats to neighbor states of Israel? Not surprising, though. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the most cowardly state in the world!
10. just doing what israel does best...grovel
JL ,   israel   (01.13.10)
11. Turkish Arrogance
Pavlos Planoudakis ,   Athens, Greece   (01.13.10)
So the country which ethnically cleansed Armenians, Greeks, etc, murdering millions and then also illegally occupying Northern Cyprus has the arrogance to critiscise Israel for defending itself and act hurt when they are taken to task for standing against Israel? What sheer arrogance from a country with such a barbaric recent history! Hopefully quite soon, they and other enemies of Israel will pay for their arrogance when The G_d of Israel punishes them!
12. turkey loves israel
taner ,   istanbul   (01.13.10)
turks love israel!! jews are our friends..!
13. The Turks are still hypocrites..
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.13.10)
that should be tried for war crimes in regards to what they did to the Armenians and Kurds and deserved the treatment they got from Ayalon.
14. Turkey owes Israel an apology, not vice versa!
Heather Czenriak ,   Milwaukee, USA   (01.13.10)
Turkey has done plenty to offend every Israeli and every Jew. No Muslim deserves an apology, considering what Muslims everywhere are doing...and the liberals who help them.
15. it's done.. what's next?
ahmet ışık ,   bursa, Turkey   (01.13.10)
i think there's a common misbelief in israel that we turks are growing anti-semitist propogandas all the time. Look my dear israeli jewish fellows; i dnt know how it's been reflected to you but turkey really appriciate israeli struggle on middle east geography, even consider israel as a strategic partner.. moreover we recently came to an agreement on (selling, buying, producing) army stuff. however.. On the other hand we think israeli policy over gaza has been horrible, totally opposed by the United Nations. and we share our complaints in every platform cos we share a blood line with palestine through history. not more than a century ago, they were our relatives. and what your army forces recently did to them is unacceptable. not even! no equal power between u and them..
16. Appology?
Eyal ,   USA   (01.13.10)
Will Israel ask Turkey's President to apologize for the remarks made by Turkey in Lebanon and will Turkey apologize for airing the TV show? If not, will Turkey be ok with a movie made by Hollywood about the Genocide of Armenians and the Kurds? The Jews own Hollywood and think that the State of Israel should promote a movie about the Turks genocide.
17. Turkey?who cares! Sweden? go to hell! Londonistan? no need!
bling bling   (01.13.10)
Obama? he is a jew hater. Russia? pfff. Well Israel, if you don't need friendly advices, expire alone in your cold corner, oops, the burning one I would say!!!
18. PRESIDENT TO PRESIDENT...DRAMA
Benjamin ,   SINGAPORE   (01.13.10)
I TELL YOU ALL THAT PERES OLD MAN WILL TELL US TO APOLOGISE ! YOU WAIT AND SEE SOON , I KNOW HOW MY PEOPLE THINK.....FULL OF TRICKS !
19. Disgusting. Israel has no national pride whatsoever
avraham ,   nyc   (01.13.10)
Screw the Turks! Who needs these "friends"?
20. Turkey & Israel
Kris M-D. ,   Oregon, USA   (01.13.10)
Leiberman is leading Israeli Foreign Policy down a narrow and winding road, of which it may not be able to pull it's self back. Turkey is probably the best ally Israel has at this point. With trying to enter the EU, they are being more supportive of Israeli regional mediation. It is a secular nation in a region dominated by religion. Yes, the television show that sparked this is uncalled for, but so is the continuation of the settlement building, as well as the blatant disrespect shown on a daily basis by FM Leiberman. Perhaps after the hotheads cool off, sound minds will prevail. Let us hope at least.
21. #15 and what do you think about Hamas atrocities?
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.13.10)
Yes, what do you think about crimes against humanity and intentional murder of civilians they've been doing for 8 years against Israel, Jews and non- Myslims? Would Turkey wait for 8 years to be bombarded by the Kurds from Iraq without doing nothing? OOPS! As a matter of fact, Turkey has made hundreds of attacks inside Iraq murdering thousands of Kurds, in addition to the genocide they did to 2 Million Kurds. So my dear Turkish friend. Before preaching to us about our self defense in Gaza, you better question your own on-going genocidal aggression against the Kurds.
22. ayalon

23. ayalon
sad ,   germany   (01.13.10)

24. Pathetic Nation of Spineless Wimps
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.13.10)
Two things you can always count on from Israel are retreat and capitulation.
25. ayalon
das ,   israel   (01.13.10)

26. With Turkey cannot play with your tail, they chipped right a
Sami ,   Lebanon   (01.13.10)
away. Oh, yeah, complete apology and right today. Israeli lost the score again, Israeli are loosing lot of scores lately .I liked a comment posted in the opinion section.” Imbecile government got elected by imbecile people” .Turkey is not Egypt, Liberman got it wrong .The alive Egyptian mummy Moubarak got humiliated and swallowed quietly which beefed up Lieberman to continue his arrogance. With Turkey cannot play with your tail, they chipped right away.
27. @11
Cagri ,   istanbu, Turkey   (01.13.10)
here the matter is, the unproper behavior acted agains a Nations Ambassador. Whenever there is a debate including Turkey, Greeks with (sorry but) inferiority complex about Turks, cry out all about Cyprus matters. say something new mate.
30. lmao
ilmare ,   turkey   (01.13.10)
there is only one word to say this comment: unlearned if someone says that turks killing -"our brothers"- kurds, he is just under the influence of liquor. we r fighting against a universally known terrorists pkk militans and we shall fight. but we never killed babies,and never will; we never used phosphorus bombs and other chemical and biological bombs against civilians, and we never killed kids and ppl for their organs. even a war must have some rules. but long gone are the days when israel army and politicians - i cant accuse all the israel- have some concious. pitty....
