61. PKK is a terrorist org
Iletzter ,   TA- Israel   (09.09.11)
The IHH was also designated organization and Turkey fully supported them. In Rome you must act like Romans. With terrorist -u must act as a terrorists and with Turks you must act as a Turkey.

turkey likes to pick on defence less people i want them to try and pick on ISRAEL and see what happens
63. An ant punishing an elephant?
Wissam ,   Palestine   (09.09.11)
You have got to be kidding me. Talk about over inflated ego! Perhaps this is what led you to this mess to begin with (along with murdering activists in the high seas)
64. To Dr. OB
ber ,   Yehud Israel   (09.09.11)
Actually, Europe and the Middle East have a long history of Jew hatred. In the early twentieth century when Arabs got nationalism from the Europeans (before that there was no such thing as national identity in the Middle East) they also got fanatical Fascism, and other forms of racism, which were not denazified after WWII, unlike Nazi Germany. In case you weren't wondering, a great share of cultural and economic advancements in America, which lead to American preeminence, were made by American Jews, who expect that Israel will be treated with integrity by the USA, something Obama has failed miserably at doing. Obama even got elected with crucial Jewish support, on the promise that he was pro Israel, and Obama has the audacity to call us ungrateful. And before you get ahead of yourself, instant messaging, cell phones, online payment security for paypal, and a long list of other inventions that American companies make billions of off, and use to create American jobs were made right here in Israel. Thanks for playing that ageless blame game, because it's easier to allow to barbarism to have it's way. It was easier to let Hitler rearm, just as it's easier to allow Iran to arm, just as it's easier throw the Jews under the bus. Turkey is the clear antagonist! I hope Israel give the Kurds and Armenians every things they ask for. See what Ben Franklin says about security, freedom, and cowardice :)
65. Mr Lieberman
Esteban ,   Argentina   (09.09.11)
You make me proud of being jewish. together with Dershowitz, the Jerusalem Post, Ynet, Giulio Meotti, Caroline Glick, etc. We must fight the horrible turks and show them this is not a one way street. Go Lieberman
66. IHH
Can ,   Istanbul   (09.09.11)
If IHH is a designated terrorist organization as Israel claims, then why did they let IHH president and officials on board of Mavi Marmara go without any charges? Israel must be such an Islamic terror supporter or just a pathetic liar.
67. pkk is terrorist...
yoram Halberstam ,   france   (09.09.11)
So is Hamas but turkey want to deal with them so don't preach!
68. Israel has to play it smart now
Isac   (09.09.11)
Stop of all travel to Turkey. I mean everybody who does not like the Turkish policy. Sell all securities, bonds, turkish lira. Start trading with different business partners outside of Turkey. Manipulate (hedge) their currency so they can eat garbage again. Get them to a point where the Turks will beg Israel again to become friends and that give them a kick in their a..
69. Flotilla = terrorists
Harald ,   the Netherlands   (09.09.11)
Hamas and the people behind the Flotilla are also terrorist- organisations, so what's the problem?
70. Biblical name of Turkey: Magog!
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.09.11)
71. Tension
Ro ,   Berlin, Germany   (09.09.11)
Israel will not stand any further tensions domestically. And - no doubt - a conflict with turkey will increase them. And, what could be the result of a bilateral conflict? Some of Israel's neighbours will join immediately. There will be no winners.
72. Bravo - !!!.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (09.09.11)
Israel to ‘punish’ Turkey Jerusalem fights back: Foreign Minister Lieberman formulates series of tough moves in response to Turkish steps; Israel to cooperate with Armenian lobby in US, may offer military aid to Kurdish rebels Comment - The military aid you should be Cautious about thoug. Arn.Sweden.
73. You take a bouncer and make him diplomat
Arieh ,   TA   (09.09.11)
number 1 of the state of Israel and thats what you get... We are competing with N. Korea now who gets the title of the most insane state and we have good chance of winning...
74. I predict
Jarda ,   CZech Republic   (09.09.11)
the same "splendid success" like the diplomatic offensive in Africa was. Do you remember?
75. Hey #2, the US isnt Israels big brother...
RichInBoston ,   Boston USA   (09.09.11)
...G-D is.
76. #3 Golan, you should know your history better,
RichInBoston ,   Boston USA   (09.09.11)
In 73' once Shazley ventured beyond the SAM umbrella all was lost for the Egyption military. It was a devistating defeat for Egypt. In the early 80s in Bekka Valley, the USSR learned early that the technology war was over with the west when Israel destroyed all 90+ SAM sights without a single lost plane. So get your facts straight first before you talk.
77. Erdogan vs Lieberman
mark ,   san diego   (09.09.11)
get your popcorn ready and enjoy a very interesting show...
78. Turks
bleez ,   USA   (09.09.11)
Fortune favors the bold, but maybe the Turks bit off more than they can chew.
79. #61 You are half right
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (09.09.11)
Lieberman is one of the biggest turkeys ever to appear on Israel's political scene. He is at least as deranged as you people claim Erdogan to be.
80. Hamas and Turkey/EU
Can ,   Istanbul   (09.09.11)
Turkey and EU met with Hamas officials. And they talked. What did they talk about? Attacking Israel? No. You can dig some archieves and read about it. Turkey and EU was urging Hamas to make peace, not to fire rockets, not to kill Fatah members, free Gilad,... And what does Lieberman wants to do? He wants to support PKK. For what? For they kill more Turkish civilians and smuggle heroine easier,... Maybe he offers to make Haifa port a drug hub. Such a pity.
81. Nr 6.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (09.09.11)
Setting meetings with terrorists... Such a wise move from a minister of foreign affairs! Cooperation with terrorist just suits fine for this punk. Can , Istanbul (09.09.11) Comment - Turkey is an Constructed Imperialistic Terrorist State, Guilty of Genoside on Armenian Population, and to some extent the Kurdish also, Leave Istanbul when you CAN. you Historical sins will catch you. Arn.Sweden.
82. Who should be Defense Minister?
A ,   Belgium   (09.09.11)
"messing with Israel doesn’t pay off" “Turkey better treat us with respect and common decency.” Lieberman "Look, it's spilled milk. It's not important right now." (the flotilla) "Ultimately this wave will pass." Barak Thank you, Avigdor!
83. #19 "The Turks are a very proud people "
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (09.09.11)
by insinuation Jews are a bunch of groveling non-entities. Sorry the days when we are lead willingly to the gas chambers are gone. Welcome to the 21st century. The Jews are also a proud people, and we have more to be proud of. Please try stop trying to push us around. We're standing our ground.
84. #54 - Any Jew can come and live in Israel
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (09.09.11)
We don't call it immigration; It's an aliya - "elevation". It's a matter of living in our homeland. Has nothing to do with the economic benefits. Now - as far as calling the Jews castoffs, etc... - think of the Georgian reaction to the russian agression in So. Osetia and, earlier, Abkhazia. Perhaps you should cast stones in your backyard first?
85. anton occupied Turkey no 39
LION OF JUDAH   (09.09.11)
Do you know what is the meaning of "TIT FOR TAT" Stop Supporting Hamas,and Israel will stop supporting PKK.
86. anton no 39
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (09.09.11)
Your mad Prime Minister who have started all these problems.Hopefully some GOOD WISE TURKISH PEOPLE, put pressure on your PM to change his policy.
87. Khan no 53
LION OF JUDAH   (09.09.11)
Oh yes the Israeli army got hiding from Hizbollah that why the Lebanese PM was crying on TV and begging the world to force Israel for ceasefire. Stop your nonsense Mr Khan,Pakistani & Muslims are worst than Arabs.
88. Khan no 53
JUDAH THE LION   (09.09.11)
Beleive me Israel have big balls and can stand against any threat from Turkey or any other Islamic/Muslims countries.
89. Israel don't be stupid. You are not a simple country
Oliver ,   Australia   (09.09.11)
You are only giving more fuel to Turkey. You know very well that giving political support to a political arm of a terrorist organisation is different to physically providing weapons to an internationally recognised terror organisation such as the PKK. You also know very well that this will never be allowed by the EU or NATO as it forms a pretext for other countries supporting the IRA and ETA.
90. Only one Israeli in Israel ?
Nathan Rai ,   Bangalore   (09.09.11)
Is there only one Israeli in the Land of Israel ? the rest are apoligists for Jihadis ? A time will come when Israel will wish they had more Leibermans.
