2. as a matter of fact
oferdesade ,   israel   (08.07.10)
it would be best if they stayed in their rooms and ordered room service... in greek.
3. Hoping for 100% drop
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (08.07.10)
Let the Turks enjoy their beloved Iranian tourists.Actually it would be great if we start traveling to Armenia. Israel doesn't have diplomatic relations with Armenia. Bibi be a man and establish a good relationship with Armenia. I would love to go to Serbia too..
4. I hope that was the last 2,600

5. There are always a few nonconformists
Mahlon Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ   (08.07.10)
The question is why did any Israelis go to Turkey? Turkey, under Erdogan, has become an enemy of Israel and seems intent on becoming de-westernized. I'm sure that the 10% that did visit Turkey were radical leftist, Israeli Arabs, and nonJewish Jews.
6. The 10% who went must be Kadima and Israeli-arabs.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.08.10)
Why give money to your enemy? Before this radical islum garbage, turks were normal people, now they are the enemy.
7. Turkey: u insult our President, u abuse us..
(08.08.10)
This is the boycott you deserve for sorely mistreating one of your best allies! and to the 2600 Israelis who went 2 Turkey in June...get with the program...WE ARE BOYCOTTING!
8. 10% Still going to Turkey
anon ,   Johannesburg   (08.08.10)
10% OF israel's population is arab, anyone surprised?
9. 10% is way too high
Fred ,   The Negev, Israel   (08.08.10)
Going to Turkey is the same as flying to Iran. The hatred against Israel is boiling and it only takes one Turkish muslim to take law in his own hands. Is a cheap ticket worth giving up your life?
10. European Jews
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (08.08.10)
There are no statistics, but I suppose European jews are not traveling to Turkey either.
11. Liberate Constantinople!
BH ,   Iowa   (08.09.10)
12. US Jews
Matthew ,   Chicago   (08.09.10)
We aren't visiting either Enjoy the Iranians........
13. #9 - Turkey Is reaching out to haredi tourism...
dorothy friend ,   tel aviv   (08.09.10)
...there was an article about that back around Passover. So that must be who the remaining Isaeli tourists there are -- a real mitzva, another way of spitting in the State of Israel's. There rebbes probably told them that's where they should go, and they always do what the rebbe says. Heck, they can't even tie their shoelaces without specific instructions!
14. 90% drop
Mike Diaz ,   San Juan/USA   (08.09.10)
"Turkey reports 90% drop in Israeli tourists" No Sh*t, Sherlock! I'm surprised it's not a 99% drop. Turkey is now becoming the new Iran and the Turkish Generals have been emasculated by the Erdogan's Islamists.
15. Israelis is dying of hunger unless state subsidize bread
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.09.10)
Only country who claims sending tourist Turkey and eating state subsidized bread at home Is ISRAEL First feed hungry tombs of your people before sending them as tourist to Turkey
16. I went and I had a good time
Russian-Israeli ,   west bank   (08.09.10)
Of course I'm a Christian so I had no trouble and I only spoke Russian language but carried Israeli passport. When someone asked me I cursed the Israeli government and sabras. The deals I got on the persian rug and spices and leather goods. Russian olim should go. The Turkish people love us and our money.
17. only 90% that should be 100%
Israeli ,   U.S.A / Israel   (08.12.10)

svietka ,   Isr   (08.12.10)
too bad we allowed u to move to ISR-should keep sh*t like u off our land so when u r overseas u can act like a true Cossak that u r and a cowardly lier. We, the Russian Olim wear our stars overseas proudly and speak Heb instead of Russian just to show our love and affiliation with our new adoptive country. U make us sick-thank God u r not 1of us
