anton ,   Ist turkey   (12.23.11)
usual approach thx for the compliments;) unfortunatley for you there will be no grandchildren for you to leave any note israel as a state no matter which way you look at it will be subjected to wars and sadly will see another genocide i wish you good luck too
37. Remember
sipahi ,   Istanbul   (12.23.11)
It was Turkey who "froze" and stopped all military aggreements with Israel. Turkey replaces the "Herons" with indigenious UV's and with "Predators".
38. No more money
Pierre ,   Paris   (12.23.11)
Anyway, turkish economy slides down and down, and they never could pay the first dollar, neither shekel.
39. They might by French
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (12.23.11)
Oh no, they got in trouble with France too.
40. Hey Israel you have lots of friends!
Susie ,   Scotland   (12.23.11)
Good on Israel you know we have a saying in Scotland 'Never trust a Turk'!
41. Islamist Turkey was never a friend of nobody..

42. Sipahi.
David Israel ,   New York USA   (12.23.11)
Do you believe that the strong Israeli/Jewish lobby in the US will allow the sale of any hi tech warfare to an enemy of Israel? Let me remind you that this is the same lobby that once saved your country from the crippling US embargo and the yearly Armenian Genocide bills.
43. Anton
David Israel ,   New York USA   (12.23.11)
Israel will stay where it is for a very long time. I can safely say forever. You worry about tourism country because it seems ver likely under AKP it will end up to become afederation and eventually divide. Unless your leaders realize that only a close and friendly relation with Israel can prevent this.
44. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.11)
Good luck with that. We can kick your Turkish asses to the curb pretty much whenever we feel the urge. Chew on that, moron.
45. To: No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.11)
Are you sure about that? Can I refresh your memory just a bit? Let's start with STUXNET and DUQU. Here's a news flash: we never trusted you (for good reason), and we can pull the plug on you pretty much whenever we want. Now, repeat after me: AM ISRAEL CHAI. We'll go on -- you? Perhaps not. Keep that in mind. Think "Somalia." We can make it so much worse for you. Really we can. Don't test our mettle; don't test our resolve. You will lose. On both. Don't make us prove it.
46. To: No. 25
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.11)
Oh, you have no idea. It isn't exactly as if we have ever trusted you. What Israel has in its arsenal will make NATO look as if it is using spitballs. Fair warning: DO NOT CHALLENGE US. YOU WILL LOSE THAT ONE. See, the thing with Jews, is that we are smart. Very, very smart. We also know how to think down the road and out of the box. I wonder if NATO's military command and control computerized systems have been -- er -- compromised. Hey, look what we did to Iran. Do you think that NATO -- and, by extension, the United States -- is immune? Think again. NEVER AGAIN. Those words actually mean something to us. Think about it. Jews OWN physics, mathematics and computer science. Think about that, too. Back off. We CAN destroy you. If we so choose. Pretty much whenever. Chomp on that with your Cheerios. Then go put your affairs in order.
47. #36 My friend anton from turkey
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (12.23.11)
The same idea had romans, babyloneans, english and arabs. We were, we are and we will be a Jewish state. The only thing that I have so many transformation thruogh the history in a piece of land so called "turkey" for now. In near future you will have to accomodate a muslim in your house otherwise you will be expelled from your own home. After that you will thnk twice of "your old turks" Have a nice turkish coffee
48. David ve jorge
anton ,   Ist turkey   (12.23.11)
David, i have no doubt that turkey as it is wont change i as a secular person think akp has done great things improving the country they has islamic roots but country doesnt;) as for israel i beg to differ; she is irrelevant ;) jorge, hows cuban bitter coffe goin for you?:) as per your advise i ll have myself nice turkish coffe:) i understand that jews are in dire need of safe state but to claim israel is there to say considering the enviroment and foes around her is just pure wishful thinking or a common mistake that many jews have based on religion :) btw still drinking cold mocca?:)
49. Anton - am I wrong n reminding you?
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (12.23.11)
As you have said n several posts AKP has a strong support among the Kurds in fact Erdogan's wife is Kurt right? Also Fethullah Gulen is Kurt Right? Follower of Said i Nursi am I wrong? Now what happened recently in Turkish politics? Mr. Erdogan apologized for the Dersim massacre of Kurds (He was trying to defame Ataturk, Inonu , Fevzi Cakmak etc. also with this) And let me also remind that one of AKP's wish list items has been to give more power to the regional governments but so far they haven't had a chance to implement it, too much opposition to this. Anton; if you know how to add 2 and 2 together you would know where I am leading. These are just facts that you must face but prefer to ignore and instead you waste your time with Israel's matters which should be none of your concerns. We Jews know how to take care of ourselves. We did it for centuries and will always do it with our intellect, wisdom and diplomacy.
50. Send Your Gelt For Bomb Shelters
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (12.23.11)
Now that Turkey has taken on France, not getting those advanced weapon attachments, could really make a dent in Turkeys offense plans, (bombing Israeli vessels, stopping Israel's mining, bombing Cyrpus, aiding future flotillas with warships, and who knows what else? Turkey, like Iran, is hugging and puffing its Islamic tilt...It seems itself in a trinity with Egypt and Iran). Israel wil have to forgo using Turkish airspace to take out Iran's nuke sites, sooner than later, (and perhaps a few US F-18s, included), now that our Sec of Defense and Chief of Staff have said its on the "table". Israel could fly over Iraq, but that falied state is also problematic, now that we have left w/o any remaining troops (thanks Obama). Is that why 45% of Jews wont vote for him next year..and raising. To my fellow Jews: end all funding for Obama..switch to Israeli needs, like bomb shelters @ 10,000 each. Send him a message.
51. Make Genocide Genocide
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (12.23.11)
A few points: Get Turkey out of NATO now that its partr of the axil of evil, with Iran, No. Korea..and maybe Egypt/Iraq? Second: forget the EU admittance. 3rd. Any attack by Turkey on Israel/Cypruss is an attack against the US. 4th: no trade deals with Turkey from the West (and Israel). and finally, make its genocide, GENOCIDE. Jews and Armenians should unite in Congress to pass the Genocide Act, long overdue. To Turkey..I say, gobbe gobble, before the hatchet falls.
52. No. 49
sipahi ,   Istanbul   (12.23.11)
Erdogan's wife is of Arab origin, and Fethullah Gulen is of Turkish origin.
53. Israel tech way overrated
Man ,   New Delhi,India   (12.24.11)
I think Israel has some decent technology but it's no where near the top. Turkey can easily get more advanced stuff from can Europe. There is a poster here so delusional that she thinks her little country can challenge the might of the USA? Or even Europe.? That is so, so funny.
54. I like reading Turkophobic comments
selim ,   istanbul   (12.24.11)
as a Turk I am glad to see Israeli opinion on Turkey is becoming hostile . that means turkey is becoming more independent breaking its previous foreign influence especially Washington Tel-aviv axis. But still dont worry our Israeli friends we will still keep early warning system for you against iranian missiles.
55. 31 - Drones that work for one thing
split ,   US   (12.24.11)
The one that you're spying on sheepherders with slingshots ;) ,...
