Gabi ,   Los Angeles, US   (11.21.12)
Found the exact quote: "Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses." "If you had kept silent, you would have remained a philosopher. " (paraphrased from Boethius) Perfect for Erdogan!
62. Way to go, Obama!

63. To: No. 57
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.21.12)
You cannot be serious. No one suffered more under Stalin than the Jewish people. Do you really mean to suggest that Jews were responsible for the famine in Ukraine in the lead-up to World War II? You cannot possibly be that dumb. (Well, I take that back. You could, and you are.) Here are two words: Bogdan Chelmnicki and two more: Babi Yar Still want to discuss Ukraine? Grow a brain first. You cannot possibly challenge me intellectually. You are an idiot and everyone knows it; you do not have to keep on proving it all the time.
64. king hypocrite !!!
Chris M ,   uk   (11.21.12)
Syria shelled him. He fired back. That was ok Hamas rocket Israel. Israel fires back. Israel is a terrorist state. (((0.0))) Why is this clown still in nato , and why are we giving him patriot defence systems now ?
65. #25
(11.21.12)
I find your post offensive. Obviously you forget what happened to your people in the 1930's and 40's. It was the same reasoning as you have expounded.
66. Sarah B and Eaglebeak...Tiddly Dumb and Tiddly dumber...
Avi ,   Israel   (11.21.12)
67. How sweet...
(11.21.12)
The love birds Sarah B and Eagle beak at it again right here on Ynet...
68. Erdogan, instead of accusing Israel of
iael   (11.21.12)
anything, you should accuse your own country of mass killings and attrocities against the Armenians and the Kurds. By the way, wasn't it you who ordered a massive retaliation against the Syrians for only 5 missiles shot into Turkish territory? Isn't it you who are accusing Israel for defending itself after getting more than 12,000 missiles onto Israeli territory? So, where is your sense of justice Mr Islamist? Now, you can understand why we Israelis consider you a champion of redundancy. And by the way, you are not that cherished in the world, either.
69. To Sara B 52 Not true
Jan ,   Holland   (11.21.12)
Google Assyrian genocide and read wikipedia.
70. DearJan, I wouldn't bet on Wikipedia
di   (11.21.12)
because it is not accepted by the academic world. No matter how well meant they are, they are highly amateur in their contributions and remarks.
71. Arab/Muslim Propaganda
Paulo Morgado ,   Portugal   (11.21.12)
The Arab/Muslim propaganda is strong and they know how to do it, they select pictures that will touch ppl, the world is getting fooled by all this. I fully understand why Israel does what it does, no one in the world would like to live with a neighbour like Hamas. Would they like rockets raining on them? Everywhere in the world where a non-muslim country borders a muslim one there is always problems and war. No one sees this? It is shocking.
72. First Duty
eliwap ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.21.12)
The first duty of any democratically elected government is to the truth. You are also as a believing religious man bound to the command not to bear false witness against thy neighbour. Mr Erdogan, the course you are taking is dangerous and highly counter to the best interests of Turkey and to peace. You of all leaders in this world have the opportunity to bridge the differences in this region by representing the truth. Instead you tow the propaganda line that will only to lead to the continuation of the conflict. Your misrepresentation to your own people of the situation here only makes it more difficult to represent the truth to them and the rest of the Muslim and Arab world. If they cannot rely on you and we cannot rely on you to represent reality. What good are you to anyone?
73. if ethnic cleansing saves a drop of Jewish blood then do it
zionist forever   (11.21.12)
74. peace?
arul ,   malaysia   (11.21.12)
The israelis are in fact doing GAZA a favour by getting rid of the Hamas zombie terrorists once and for all...for as long as they are there, the Palestinians shall have no peace....
75. Erdogan calls Israel "terrorist state"
Larry Butchins ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (11.21.12)
Kurds? Armenians? Syrians? How many journalists are imprisoned in Turkey? Bloody hypocrite.
76. ARAB TRANSFER i.c. for balance&peace ISN'T ETHNIC CLEANSING!
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (11.21.12)
77. Turkish prime ministers comments
Mike wright ,   Canada   (11.21.12)
It's a shame the Turks have a moron for a prime minister. How tired the world is of the Islamic spin which really defies all logic truth and history
78. Armenians and Kurds
Esther ,   Abroad   (11.21.12)
When Turkey and Erdogan is willing to look upon their own behavior in the past - genocide of Armenians - and in the present - their teatment of Kurds - then we can discuss if there is ethnic cleansing.
79. Erdogan
haim ,   montreal canada   (11.21.12)
Erdogan is angry for about 2 yeras now since the European community did not allowed his country to be part of the EU (europe!!) and he is playing game on the poltical stage... He does not give a s.h.i.t about palestinian or enven any muslim for that matter....is it time to help the kurds and the biutifful armenia country??
80. ERDOGAN
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (11.21.12)
PERHAPS SOME KURDISH MAN WILL ASSASINATE HIM, WISHFULL THINKING. INSHALLAH
81. Israel killed 150 Palestinians....
Lenya ,   Australia   (11.23.12)
in self-defense and you Erdogan murdered 150,000 Kurds and Armenians in a genocidal frenzy.
82. Erdogan
James ,   Phoenix, AZ USA   (11.24.12)
While you all may be correct about Erdogan and Turkish history, are ANY of you not able to hear the words ? Must we always kill the messenger ? A wise man once said that "the truth is somewhere in the middle" of the screaming from both sides. Take a breath and listen.
