31. we know the outcome
Dafer   (09.09.11)
if israel wins this war of words , liberman will be the next prime minister , and if israel looses they will all blame this crazy liberman guy and make it all his fault
32. lieberman must be a psychopath...
eporue ,   europe   (09.09.11)
and you, applauding this idiocy, too... there is no other explanation anymore... btw, pkk is considered a terrorist organization by the EU...
33. #6 Yah! So is Hams Ass and it seems
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (09.09.11)
that your PM wants t go to Gaza to meet with him. I hope Israel won't do what Liberman just said. I hope his words are scary enough to mak wrirdogan back off. Your comments should be directed to your own leader and not us. get your bouncer to back off and we'll have ours put.
34. 2 and 3
Eyal ,   USA Israel   (09.09.11)
2. Without the US Israel is still a strong country, nothing changed (same army)? People hate Israel because they are Jews, so stop you BS about "One would think that 2000 years of struggle would make them more eager to have friends", because why have an enemy, when you have the Government of Turkey (not the Turks). 3. Let them try. If Turkey send warships to Israel's coast, it will be considered war and your so called warship will be blown out of the water faster than you can blink. Unarmed civilians? Knives, bats and steel bars are weapons and if anyone tried to kill me with these weapons, I would also load 100 rounds on them. Guess what will happen if they tried this with US coast guards? You are funny stupid man.
35. Go Lieberman Go!! Bravo
Borek ,   TURKEY   (09.09.11)
He is helping to bring Israel with PKK-Armenia LINE. This sells wonderful in Muslim street !!!!..Already 50 percent of Turks believe that Israel is supporting PKK. Erdogan wont need to hide anymore with Hamas, Hezbollah. If the Pharaoh in the White House wont stop US firm Noble Energy on Cypriot ( without official division, Oil belongs to Cypriots, Not only Greek Cypriots) Parcel 12. How can Israel accept Cyprus Maritime Border without Turks? Erdogan will set Middle East on fire. US lost its balance in the ME with Obama. What a CHANGE!!!. To be or not to be with IRAN. Turkey between NATO and SHIA game.
36. Lieberman - you are great!
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (09.09.11)
Kol hakavod to Lieberman. He is just what we need and I hope he succeeds in getting all the measures approved.
37. Don't arm the PKK
Ron ,   oc,us   (09.09.11)
Everything else mentioned is acceptable. Unless Turkey arms hamas or hezbollah best not to introduce arms as a response to Turkish rhetoric and scenarios that may never happen such as Turkish warships escorting flotillas. Give Erdogan enough rope....
38. To no.2
Mordechai ,   London   (09.09.11)
Jews have been trying for 2000 years to make friends, it did not help us. We tried cosying up to the nations of the world, but it did not prevent the Holocaust. It is about time that we realised that we dont have any friends in the world, and those people that look like friends, are friends only because there is something that they gain. Once there is nothing to gain from being our friends, we lose them also.
39. this is gonna be interesting :)
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (09.09.11)
arming pkk would be declarartion of war and it will be met with heavy response
40. What a diplomacy!!!
PersonaNonGrata ,   İstanbul   (09.09.11)
Turkiye has the right during all of the processes in front of the international law. PKK is a terrorist group and İsrael thinks to support a terrorist organization. Is this a response to Turkey or a illegal action or a childish behaviour? I think there is not any logical explanation for this. On the other hand, İsrael thinks to support Armenians. What a friendship!! Where was its mind before. İsrael shows that its friendship is just related to its interests. Such an İsrael can support Turkiye against Armenia one month after maybe when the relations is getting better. To punish Turkey is impossible because the history is writng all of the realities.
41. Proud of being israeli
Yossef   (09.09.11)
Lieberman got my vote again.
42. The Frankenstein minister.
Joseph ,   Jerusalem , Israel   (09.09.11)
Lieberman is such a moron that even Bibi does not let him deal with anything serious.This guy is one short of being sectioned.
43. Go for it Liberman. All of the jews with you.
hadad ,   U.K   (09.09.11)
44. #26
Can ,   Istanbul   (09.09.11)
IHH has no ties to any terrorist organizations. Israel claimed that, yet couldn't provide evidence. And Israel also announced that they recognize IHH as a terror group however let the president and other officials go without any charges. I don't like Hamas. Even designation of Hamas as terror is a bit controversial, they are not innocent either. But PKK and Hamas are in different leagues.
45. Hamas vs. PKK
Can ,   Istanbul   (09.09.11)
Haha nice try. Turkey doesn't recognize Hamas as terrorist organization but doesn't support or approve either. Turkey is on people of Gaza's side, not Hamas nor any other party. And PKK. PKK is the main heroine dealer to Europe. It recieves the heroine from Iran, transports it to Europe and sells. In 30 years, PKK killed more than 30000 people including Kurds. PKK is still actively targetting civilians in Turkey. Hamas, too. That's why Turkey is not supporting any party in Gaza who fires rockets towards Israel. But Lieberman is so eager to support terrorists who deliver heroine to Europe and kill Turkish civilians. What is his cut from the deal?
46. Training Hamas
Istanbuler ,   Istanbul / TR   (09.09.11)
Supplying them with all kind of modern weapons , training them with Turkish special forces is what we have to do against such a threat.
47. Fianlly Israel is acting like a normal state
Michael   (09.09.11)
and not a banana republic
48. No. 3 - why don't you learn the facts
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (09.09.11)
The 9 murdered were not unarmed. The security cameras on the boat shows them arming themselves well before the IDF landed on the ship. Metal chains, metal bars, knives - all visible to the camera's eye. And they were members of a group recognized internationally as a terrorist group. Don't know about your surname but your first name designates you as Israeli or at least Jewish. so I presume you are one of these insidious self-hating Jews who does more harm to Israel than any of our overt enemies.
49. No. 6
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (09.09.11)
Indeed? And so many European dignitaries meet with members of Hamas, also designated as a terrorist organization. Turkey will suffer from its actions, believe me.
50. That's great news...Lieberman is the right
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.09.11)
man at the right time !
51. Hamas is also designated terrorist organization
Israel Israeli ,   Central Israel   (09.09.11)
Hamas is a designated terrorist organization, Mr. Can. What a wise move from the Prime Minister of Turkey to give a red carpet to terrorist Mashaal and to consort his terrorist organization. Now this punk plans to go to Gaza and kiss Ismail Hanya on both cheeks and celebrate Turkey's solidarity with Hamas and Iran endeavour to wipe out Israel and kill all the Jews inside. He will impart to Hanya his great knowledge in mass killing acquired in decades of Turkish massacring of Kurds, Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians and others. IHH is the Turkey's officious arm of support for Islamist terrorism. The IHH terrorists on Mavi Marmara have publicly expressed their will to die as martyrs while fighting Israel. They attacked the Israeli solders with knives, machetes and iron bars. 9 Turkish terrorists died as a result. So, where are we going now, Mr. Cam?
52. help the terorist
borak ,   turkey   (09.09.11)
suitable for you. dontt necesary to say antythng.
53. Turkey will crush the Israeli
Khan ,   Peshawar, Pakistan   (09.09.11)
If Israeli's think the hiding they got from Hizbollah was harsh, then wait - Turkey will belt you to oblivion. Israeli's are very smart and they know they do not have the balls to mess with Turkey. This is for internal political consumption only. Isreael will run again with their tail between their legs.
54. Israel
Alan Mirs ,   Tbilisi Georgia   (09.09.11)
To emigrate one seeks for a better standard of life and safer environments and yet the most settlers in Israel come from the western countries with the opportunity for a better standard of life and safer environment exists in their society, there for it seems that most settlers are either castoffs from their community seeking satisfaction of their aggression or ambitious politicians aiming for position by deception
55. baruch hashem!
yair   (09.09.11)
56. to No2 for 2000 years everybody bully us it's over
Ari ,   Romania Israel   (09.09.11)
People can't accept the idea that Jews can walk with their heads up, not like in muslim countries as 2nd class citizens. For some gentiles is difficult to accept that the jew that caje from the Getto is now a normal human being and that has prosper and is leading the wortld in many things. Turkey started making provocations without reason. Let's talk know the same language. They want honor, we want honor, they want respect we deman respect
57. to number 6 and Erdogan meeting with Hamas, we are even ok
(09.09.11)
58. The EU powers are glee that Israel's doing what the EU can't
Edward ,   Sydney, Australia   (09.09.11)
The lower Turkey sinks, the nightmare of a Turkish EU more becomes more just a bad dream and less a possibile reality.
59. two crazies won't fix this situation
yaacovic ,   Melbourne, Australia   (09.09.11)
Lieberman's assessment that Turkey is not really interested in an apology may be correct. However his knee jerk response to come out punching is just plain stupid. It will just make relations with Turkey harder to repair in the long run. Turkey will not be ruled by the lunatic Erdogan forever. Er.. I presume that Israel's genius is interested in promoting friendly relations in the long term. Maybe he is just looking for a good old brawl.
60. Do we really need this right now?
Tomer ,   Hod Hasharon, Israel   (09.09.11)
Do we need this artificial conflict right now? Don't we have other issues both internally and with our nearest neighbors that we should be dealing with? If the Turks want to be friends, fine. If not, also fine. But Lieberman should shut the feck up, and let the matter go. Or better still, let's quietly make the apology the Turks want and the issue will be resolved. What? We're too proud for that? Remember that pride comes before a fall...
