Batu ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (09.13.11)
You guys cant even boycott cheap pasta and all inclusive holidays.Then how are you going to come up with a real boycott? Look at the trade volume between Turkey and Israel.Its constantly rising.So Look at the tittle of the rubbish you dumped here '' Never trust a Turk , boycott them!.Seems like you take the issue personally.What the hell an average Turk got to do with this news? .If you do not wanna trust somebody, you can start from Idiot Israeli and Turkish governments.But make sure you differentiate ordinary folk and idiot governments.Or else i feel sorry for your understanding,

Batu ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (09.13.11)
Your Ignorance is amazing Ezra.Keep it up.
34. #24 "turning its allies into its foes"
Tahl   (09.13.11)
Absolute total RUBBISH. It is not Israel which routinely escaltes the flagrant rhetorics. It is Egypt and Turkey. It is not Israelis who stormed the Egyptian embassy in Tel Aviv, but Egyptians who stormed the Israeli embassy in Cairo. It is not Israel which decided to recall its ambassadors, it was Turkey and Egypt. It is not Israel which threatened to increase its warship presence in the Medieterranean, it was Turkey. It is not Israel which rejected the Palmer report, it is Turkey. It is not Israel which allows its pilots to fire at Israeli planes, it is Turkey. It is not Israel which allows terrorists to operate from its area, it is Egypt. And it is not Netanyahu whose overbloated ego makes him act like the neighborhood bully and demand an apology he does not deserve, it is Erdogan. Are you this stupid to ignore all these facts?
35. this is probably a breach of conditions of sale
zionist forever   (09.13.11)
When the US sells fighters generally the electronics that go inside must be approved by the US and cannot be changed without permission. What Turkey has done is hardly revolutionary technology considering all they have done is reprogram the flight computer but it is almost certainly a breach of terms of sale and probably a breach of NATO rules who all have the same friend & foe registered. Hopefully Congress will have something to say about this act of hostility and they will refuse future weapons sales to Turkey and kick them out of NATO. Erdogan is just desperate for a war with Israel which is why he is illegally changing the codes on on his F16s. Time for Obama to be presidential and take on the islamist for once instead of trying to appease him because if he doesn't its just a matter of time before war breaks out and people get killed. If your American I suggest you write to your Congressman get the US to reign in this madman.
36. #21 Obama's fault, what a joke!
Robert ,   Australia   (09.13.11)
Obama's fault? Why is any misfortune that befalls Israel always someone else's fault? You people should look in a mirror occasionally.
37. Turkish Jets can hit Israel
Dennis ,   NJ, USA   (09.13.11)
He should do well to remember that it's the same distance from Israel to Turkey as it is from Turkey to israel. And he needs to remember who his military suppliers were. And what the know about Turkish systems.
38. #21
Can ,   Istanbul   (09.13.11)
XD XD XD What Israeli airspace? XD It's such a small country, Turkey wouldn't even notice if Israel did that.
39. To No.8
Batu ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (09.13.11)
No.According to Turkish Newspaper Milliyet (13.09.2011) software used in Israeli Jets are modified.Meaning that, Israel can classify any nation friend or foe according to her needs.Whereas, previously software used in Turkish Airforce allowed Turkish jets to recognize Israeli jets as a friend only,And there were no option to alter this.However now Turkey come up with indigenous software so that we'll be able to classify any nation friend or foe according our needs.
40. threat
grajdan ,   Ukraine   (09.13.11)
Israeli people including their politicians do not understand the potential power of Turkey. It is the heir of an empire. Turkey has a very strong state and army tradition apart from geographical, logistical and manpower features. Turkey is not only Turkey. In case of a war, Turkey will get enormous support from all the Middle East, Balkans, Far East, Central Asia even some part of Russia. Just check it how the president of Turkey be welcomed by Pakistan: http://www.tccb.gov.tr/foreign-visits/388/49955/pakistan.html Fighting with Turkey could be a bit expensive for Israel.
41. There is a war brewing in the Middle East
ex-frummie ,   johannesburg, S.A.   (09.13.11)
And the yanks are sleeping. Guys please vote this Administration out of power. Last election it was anything but Bush. Now it is anything but Obama.
42. #27 HM - Obama is not incompetent
Devorah   (09.13.11)
He knows exactly what he is doing. Seeing the region collapse is his wet dream come true.
43. What in the HELL is wrong with Turkey?!?!?!?!
Talula ,   Israel   (09.13.11)
What an asshole of a leader they have. Maybe he has a small, or very small willy.
44. Thumbs Up For Erdogan
Acar ,   Istanbul Turkey   (09.13.11)
Finally, Israel the spoiled child of USA is feeling fear, just reading the comments shows how much you guys are spoiled by USA. Don't mess with Turkey, Turkey today is not like Turkey during Ottoman Empire. Why everyone should sympathize with you, and why do you always think that you are the chosen people and that you have the right to do whatever you want without being punished. Eat this, your isolation from the entire world is coming soon due to your government actions and Lieberman the most horrible person to hold a position like that, which will lead your fairy state of Israel to vanish, keep supporting your fanatic government and you will lose your state. Maybe you should start working internally on how to change your government before its too late. PEACE ;)
45. It is still garbage
Shalom ,   Ashdod, IL   (09.13.11)
They can change their radar as much as they want to; it is still run by idiots and in the computer lingo "Garbage in - garbage out". If they were serious about this they would have kept their mouth shut. Bring it on Erdogan baby, then we can prove to you that you are indeed a "Turkey"
46. What about NATO?
Alex, Israel   (09.13.11)
Can a member of NATO attack anybody, just like that? Will NATO defend him in such a case? Of course, this is between Israel and Turkey at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if so long Turkey is winning NATO will shut up, and when Israel will win, NATO will scream that Turkey is a member of NATO.
47. The War
Shlomo Stein ,   none   (09.13.11)
It would be the start of the WAR... But Israel will not bow to them! Sh'ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad!!!
48. #36 You're a real piece of work convict
(09.13.11)
I heard mel gibson is looking for other anti-semites to join him in his latest movie - why don't you apply and stop aggravating the grown-ups.
49. Not true
anka ,   egypt   (09.13.11)
with no success ! turkey already introduced anka UAV and it's not less than israeli heron you can see the specifications of both .
50. Erdogan is cruising for a bruising
usa   (09.13.11)
Would be interested in response from Turkish Ynet posters to see if they support Erdogan or think he's harming their interests.
51. The Truth Hurt
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.13.11)
but I secretely wish that I was jewish and this is why I am so hostile to jews and Israel. It is because I am jealous.
52. F-35
Steve R ,   Dallas USA   (09.13.11)
As a US citizen I am writing my Congressman and asking that all deliveries of the F-35 be halted to Turkey. I suggest all other US citizens do the same.
53. #48 - you're referring to the WarnerBos/Gibson
seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NJ   (09.13.11)
movie about the Maccabees?
54. He shows his real face rather well.
Willem ,   Rotterdam, Holland   (09.13.11)
He speaks like Ahmedinajad, he threats like Ahmedinajad and probably acts like Ahmedinajad. One has to take this person seriously and the turkish people have to put hem out of office as soon as possible, for he is jeopardizing everything his country built up before him.
55. The sins of the Fathers
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (09.13.11)
Do not forget that the Ottoman empire (Turkey) once raped and occupied this Holy Land, till they were thrown out by another occupier, the British, since the Jewish population was not armed to confront the Islamic occupiers. The Turks were never punish adequately for their crimes, their arrogance and violence. If they chose foolishly to commit the crimes of their fathers, may God give us this blessed opportunity to destroy them.
56. no weapons for turkey
mehrdad ,   germany   (09.13.11)
US senat should immidiatly block all weapon deals to turkey. no modified F-6, F-35 or drones more for this islamic regime. its absolutly possible that this weapons are used to kill jews or even are given to iran or hisbollah by turkys islamist intel chef.
57. How could they know?
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (09.13.11)
Such a development takes many months. In another newspaper I read about a 24 month development period. How could Turkey know two years ago, that they would want this ability today??? It appears, Turkey planned this confrontation with Israel well in advance and coordinated it with it's actual allies in the middle east! My tip to Israel: Develop new missiles, which enable to shoot at Turkish military targets from much greater distance AND give these missiles a stealth capability, so that they cannot be detected until it's tooooo late.
58. Will the dreamers of Israel Awaken ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.13.11)
This is how Erdogan was greeted upon his arrival in Cairo ; “Allahu Akbar!”Egypt, Turkey, one fist!” We know who the fist is aimed at ,don't we ? Will Netanyahu, Ehud Barak,Peres and Olmert finally see the handwriting on the wall or will they stay in their fantasy land of delusion ?
59. Time for MAD
Mary Snow ,   USA   (09.13.11)
In my opinion Israel needs to expand her nuculer weapons program to meet the current threats from Turkey and Egypt.
60. Erdogan
Ralph ,   Caesarea   (09.13.11)
Representative of Turkish Baazar
