enemy of israel--trying to be nice caused idf to go in without lethal arms or force--only mistake made

Sumuck in Turkish? No such words. How dare you insult a Jewish holy man. You are a resultof what happenswheb a brother and sister "kisses".. Lol

resort to juvenile name-calling. Because you lack intelligence.

Coward.

Mordechai said to answer Esther: I retell what Mordechai said to Esther "Do not imagine that being at the king's palace, you will escape . For if you remain silent now, relief and salvation will arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but thou and thy father's house ye shall perish, and who knows if an opportunity like this you come to the kingdom. "

This Rabbi should never side against Israel. He must not forget that he is a Jew not a turk. Is he so stupid that he thinks erdogan gives a damn about the Jews of Turkey. After the turkish flotilla arrived there has been excessive security needed to ensure the safety of the Jewish community there. The world has always and will always be against the Jews, make sure you pick the right side.

Does anyone expect him to denounce this Turkish provocation. I don't. I can say it, he can only think it. Keeping schtum wouldn't go down well either. Pure self-preservation and lip-service...we've seen it in Iran The Turkish Jewish community have a serious 'barbarians at the gate' issue

Scared out of his mind--so he should make Aliyah. If he feels the need to side with the enemy who comes to kill us then he needs to stop calling himself rabbi an buy a rug.

The Chief Rabbinate of Turkey (Hakham Bashi) has more historical significance to the Jewish peoples than that of modern day Israel. Their Excellencies David Ben Gurion and Ben-Zvi were also part of these congregations during their time in Istanbul. A little respect please. The individuals below devoted their lives to the Jewish peoples right to existence. Shame on anyone who tries to belittle them in the name of mere politics.

thus saith the lord cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm and whose heart departeth from the lord for he shall be like the heath in the desert and shall not see when good cometh but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness in a salt land and not inhabited blessed is the man that trusteth in the lord and whose hope the lord is,for he shall be as a tree planted by the waters and that spreadeth out her roots by the river and shall not see when heat cometh but her leaf shall be green and shall not be careful in the year of drought neither shall cease from yielding fruit ,the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it? I the lord search the heart I try the reins even to give every man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings a glorious high throne from the beggining is the place of our sanctuary,o lord the hope of israel all that forsake thee shall be ashamed and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth because they have forsaken the lord the fountain of living waters,heal me o lord and I shall be healed save and I shall be saved for thou art my praise,behold they say unto me where is the word of the lord?let it come now,as for me I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee neither have I desired the woeful day thou knowest that which came out of my lips was right before thee,let them be confounded that persecute me but let not me be confounded let them be dismayed but let not me be dismayed bring upon them the day of evil and destroy them with double destruction then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of david riding in chariots and on horses they and their princes the men of judah and the inhabitants of zion and this city shall remain for ever(jeremiah 17)

Both live in a hostile environment on the sufferance of the people among which they live.

Dear Turkish Rabbi, You said there is no hostility against Jewish we walking back in time in 1930 when the Jewish people are Hungarian Poles German first they forget they are first Jewish and then the after that nationality ,, Wake up till it is not to late... Good Bless you and old the Jewish people of Turkey..

We select the Rabbi and Turkish Government approves. Elephants figths but grass suffers from this.

In Turkey you have an increasingly aging population. The young are leaving. Jews graduate from University and have been leaving in ever increasing numbers. Primary destinations are US, Mexico (where many have relatives), Israel and Australia.

Dear Chief Rabbi of Turkey, Please show some real leadership and lead your people out of that Muslim land. Come to Israel your country. Use your rabbinical influence to encourage all the Jews of Turkey to make aliyah. Remember Moshe Rabeinu?

and reliable and honest as a KGB appointed rabbi in moscow-and we all know how great that was for the jews of russia! he is a galut jew-and may he come to the blessed wisdom that his country as he knows it will be no more in the next 10y or so but just another muslim empire-he better incourage alia and make it himself!

live in great fear and constant danger, I heard they r hiding any jewish symbol in order not to get the Muslims fury. this artikle don't represent reality.

It is most discouraging to include him among our "enemies". I pray for his safety and hope he comes to his senses and leaves Turkey soon, before it is too late.

All Turkish Jew's know how to read between the lines. He is trying to protect the whole community from harm. Erdogan is the most anti semitic PM ever in Turkey. You can take that to the bank.

When leaders of a Jewish diaspora community need to spit on their brothers and sisters in Israel in order to survive, it is a sign that it is time to make aliyah.

The good chief Rabbi did not say anything new that Haaretz did not say today. Read it!

Let us Jews decide what is important to us and mind your own business. Jews lived in Israel long before Turkey existed and the Jewish future is in the Jewish homeland. There are only 20.000 Jews in Turkey compared to 6 millions in Israel.

...a Muslim Rabbi.

I respect the Rabbi and What he said. As you see, our Jewish community is not rogue as Israelis. He is not a getto Jew but a respected Rabbi, living in Istanbul in peace with his community among us. You are so rogue that you can't keep yourself being brutal against a Rabbi. I see that we should save him and his community from you, from a rampant tribe, from You babyloians!

don't disturb our Rabbi. the stiation will detoriate in Israel. You made Aliyah. tell me what happened? Our jewish community has a better life here than Israel. I am afraid that you applaud and support another holokost only for other Jews make aliyah. at the meantime, don't forget that you have been already living in muslim lands. and perhaps temporarily! so don't disturb our Jewish community. Ok?

Let's be sorry for Rabbies who live in the oppressive Countries:they are a slaves of these regimes.
