1. Sorry Turkey
Keren IL-BR   (03.24.13)
We apologize. We made a mistake in protecting our border. Sorry. We will not do it again. Yes, we will pay indemnizations. Yes, we will lift the blockage. Whatever you want.
2. New troubled waters
Get Real ,   UK   (03.24.13)
Good that the flotilla issue is/being resolved and Israel and Turkey can together focus on the real issues facing Israel and the mid-east as described by Peres.
3. Shame !
Rulph ,   US   (03.24.13)
Shame on Netanyahu, Shame on Israel !!!
4. #1 Sorry Turkey
The Bald Scotsman ,   Tampa, FL USA   (03.24.13)
Of course we will, our daddy Barak told us to and what daddy orders must be obeyed by Bibi.
5. Gramps forgot to take his medicine again
Dr. Gonzo ,   Israel   (03.24.13)
so sorry
6. emoitonally i regret this apology BUT
celine woland ,   eu   (03.24.13)
stratigically it is a smart move... israel needs the turks so all of us guys who live abroad should think about israels security and not about pride...israel will not lift the gaza blockade however--and the turks will not insist since it is not their business..
7. presidency suppposed to be ceremonial
marv   (03.24.13)
peres is running from the mouth with israel's oeprational policies which is not his to say; that belongs to the PM office. Matzav and other presidents did not interfere so much. Peres was wrong about osiraq, dead wrong about olso, wrong about abbas, why does weinstein allow him to interfere in the PM duties. he was not elected to run israel. Weinstein look into peres abuse of PM authority.
8. Peres: Turkey and Iran...
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (03.24.13)
The only difference is that Iran is a Shia-country, Turkey a Sunna one. But Turkey is heading towards a fanatical Sunnah state. Don't forget Erdogan is a well-known fanatic Muslim (Muslim Brother-MB) and an extreme right politician: Grey Wolves, Milli Görüş. Didn't Shimon Peres know that Haniyeh, another MB, announced the visit of Erdogan to Gaza???
9. The problem is peres cannot think!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.24.13)
bibi should send peres to an old age home. peres does not speak for Israel and we would never elect him president.
10. Here is one reason:
Kol Nideri   (03.24.13)
israel can not be trusted to keep it's word, pledge, oath, vow. Read the Kol Nideri unannotated.
11. Turkey & Iran
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (03.25.13)
Of course, Turkey and Iran are like night and day. Turkey is Sunni, and Iran is Shiite. Each considers the other to be infidels, and Islam calls for death to infidels. Sunnis and Shiites have been killing each other for centuries for that reason, and still are, in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Mali, Libya, Sudan, and Syria, to name a few of the affected countries. What else is new?
12. #8- The Ottoman Empire was an Islamic State
Ibrahim ,   Ankara   (03.25.13)
The Jewish people sought refuge in that Islamic State. The Successor State to the Ottoman Empire was the first Islamic State to recognise the sovereignty and independence of the State of Israel. Even if the Turkish Republic becomes a Sunni Islamic State, this is no barrier for cordial relations with Israel.
13. It's not Israel fault
Iranian H   (03.25.13)
Erdogan has an objective. He is increasing relationship with all the muslim world. And the easiest way to do that is by destroying Israel. Not to mention it is probably his personal faith also that makes him do all that anti israel. Not to mention secularism has been crushed in Turkey. The generals and media workers are imprisoned. The one still working in the media and military are either tools for Turkey's ultimate objective or they are unknowingly being useful for Erdogan. Iran is no longer secular. Turkey is no longer secular. It's time Israel wake up to different reality, and starts to know who is it's allies and enemies or be prepared to do a massive miscalculations and have Israel destroyed.
14. One reason? Turkey is led by an anti-Semitic idiot
Zvi   (03.25.13)
There are many millions of Turks who would are wonderful friends of Israel. Too bad their leader is such a would-be despot!
15. Shimon Peres intervieuw CNN TURK
Michael Shlomo ,   US   (03.25.13)
Bravo, Bravo spoken like a true hypocritical, dubble standard aplying, telling the opposite of the truth spindoctor beging for Turkish friendship which without Israhel is completely done in for. Even with this helpand the servitorship of the tiny arab dictatorships israel will not make it. One cannot build happiness on the ruins of distruction, deception, murder, theft, coursion, blackmail, sin, etc., etc. It just aint gonna happen. So pray for the best but beter prepair for the worst because it is just around the corner.
16. Same mistake that WW,2 when.....
salomon ,   israel   (03.26.13)
USA helped the URSS, in Stalingrad against Nazi troops. So what happened? they got the russians as new ennemies after the war. Turkey will be any moment in War with Iran and Iraq , about the developpement of Kurds influence in the north Syria, bordering Turkey, and was helpless, looking for a Massiah. These stupid Israelis offered them a relieve. By apologizing , they offered them the Pride back, and a support against their fight with the kurds. Unbelievable. They must be blind no to read the map.
