1. Israeli raid PERFECTLY Acceptable
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.07.13)
Thanks to Israel, a very real and deadly threat was ended by the superior strike IDF. Erdogen will go down as one of the most ignorant anti semitic bigot ever born. Watch how under his watch, the Syrian refugees take over his nation and, possibly, his power, by force.
2. No shipments of missiles aimed for destroying Israel can
justify operation ,   right..?   (05.07.13)
3. Erdogan has no moral authority
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (05.07.13)
to preach to anone, least of all, Israel. To me, he is just an anti semite in a cheap suit.
4. Call them out on the double standard
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (05.07.13)
Ask them if they would intercept shipments to kurdish rebels who would attack turkish targets if they knew about them in advance? Watch as they say, "well that's different, blah blah blah"
5. give him a stick of candy
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (05.07.13)
Erdogan is not a class act. He gets eminent satisfaction overpowering Israel in issues that permit Israel to humor him with what are essentially sticks of candy.. His stubborn petulance demonstrates the lack of even a hint of sophistication in this dangerous man.
6. Don't worry
(05.07.13)
Netanyahu will apologize, beg Erdogan for forgiveness, and pay him compensation for protecting Jews. Instead, Netanyahu should be supplying Assad and the Kurds weapon to wipe out Erdogan and his Sunni terrorists.
7. Destruction of Missiles
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,Maryland   (05.07.13)
I wonder if Erdogen would have been so fuming if the missiles were to be used against Turkey? Would he then have said that such attack was acceptable?
8. Question to Recep bey
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.07.13)
What justified him sending troops to Libya? What justifies him giving arms to the Syrian rebels who are fighting Assad? Wasn't Assad (or Essed as he called him) Erdogan's best friend not long Ago? At least Syria is a direct threat to Israel therefore Israel has every right to take defensive action. Turkey on the ther hand does not receive any threats from Syria.
9. Erdogan is both right and wrong
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (05.07.13)
Right because Assad is using this raid as one would usually hear from Islamic butchers, That the rebels are being supported by Israel. Of course this is not true, but it does strengthen Assad's pathetic supporters. Wrong because it is acceptable. It is the acceptable on the grounds that this action will prevent either side from using these weapons, for their bottom line obsession - killing Jews. The truth is, unfortunately one side or the other will eventually win.
10. PM Erdogan, sorry but we wish to live
Susya Bar Dror ,   Israel   (05.07.13)
and not be killed by missiles from your syrian, PLO, Hamas and Hisbollah friends.
11. Israeli raids unacceptable
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (05.07.13)
You condemn Israeli raids on Syria. But, I know you, Erdo, old fox, - ok, you prefer the name old grey wolf - but a fox is a very cunning animal, so. You know that in Syria they - your fellow believers (Sunni, Muslim brothers-MB) - are drinking the same liquid yogurt like you were promoting some weeks ago. So, maybe after the fall of al-Assad you hope to see Syria as an open market to sell your Turkish ayran. But, now, to be serious, first - two days ago - you condemned the regime in Syria and now you're condemning our raids against that evil regime of al-Assad. Why? Because of Israel? Because the Syrian opposition, especially the MB, also was against it? You have really no personal opinion or is your hate against Jewry and Israel so intense that you cannot see clearly anymore into that matter? Or,... instead of ayran, our Erdo is drinking secretly: raki! Ok, Erdo, old grey wolf, lehaim, cheers.
12. grandstanding to the muslim world again
peter   (05.07.13)
13. When is this guy going to shut his mouth
Tony ,   Ny usa   (05.07.13)
Every time he says something it shows how stupid and ignorant he is . And I really don't understand why israel is going to pay this terrorists Pls someone explain
14. no excuse?? as if we work for this matafaka
ronen   (05.07.13)
we dont give you no excuses because we dont give a damn about you
15. but when Turkey open fire on syria a month ago, it was ok?
ghostq   (05.07.13)
Erdogan talk alot and does the same. so let the fool talk.
16. Erdogan vs Israel
Brod ,   USA   (05.07.13)
Erdogan supports the Islamist-Jihadists. Erdogan is an enemy of Israel and Western civilization. It is time to stop establishing relation with Erdogan Turkey. He will side with Israel's enemies in the region.
17. shamefull comments
Syrian Rebel   (05.07.13)
How dare Morsi or Erdogan critize Israel for bombing assad the butcher and his shiite killers while they sit iddle for years before the slaughter of the brothers in Syria ! Everyday the shiite killers helped by hzbollah and Iranian troops are killing innocents and no one dar e to move.. except Israel. I thank them for that stilll I know they have done for their own interest, but this time our interest are same. So to Morsi and Erdogan have the decency to shut up or send your own planes to p^rotect us from Assad the butcher !
18. #8 Dear David, your downstairs neighbor gives the answer.
Obsessive ,   Turkey   (05.07.13)
19. Nonsense; Israel's motive in Syria was pure self-defense
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.07.13)
In 2006, Israeli policy makers laid down that any attempt to transport advanced weapons would be stopped by force. In Syria: There is no side to root for, as Dr. Rubin warned when their conflict started to erupt.
20. Erdogan
Henry Alcantara ,   Philippines   (05.07.13)
Erdogan has a small brain and a big chunk of it is not in the head.
21. #14 Ronen: I feel the same way! Others don't!
David ,   The Galilee   (05.07.13)
Antalya is back on the top of the holiday pops list and the next time you are in the supermarket check out "The Made in Turkey" soaps, shampoos, dried fruit etc. and where is that new fridge or washing machine you bought made?
22. More Predictable Duplicity
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (05.07.13)
Erdogan's duplicitous idiocy is "unacceptable" as he continues in his role as the mouse that roared. He hasn't yet figured out that he can't have his cake and eat it too. He's green with envy that Israel had the balls to do what he wouldn't do - even after Assad downed one of his planes.
23. Netanyahu wants peace with Turkey!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (05.07.13)
He want to buy the Turks and give terrorists money. This MUST NOT HAPPEN! That money will go to the IHH and thus finance the next murder of Jews! Is Prime Minister Netanyahu that naive that he cannot see the double game that Erdogan is playing?
24. #16 Brod: Good point. Tell your President Obama!
David ,   Israel   (05.07.13)
He made the call!
25. build baby :)
anton ,   istanbul   (05.07.13)
i dont understand how syrians gonna take control of turkey by force? give me good laugh
26. erdoğan
anton ,   istanbul   (05.07.13)
to me thre is no diffrence between turkeys air raids to northrn iraq and israels strike to syria both are out of national security concerns erdoğan on the other hand i think personally wants to bring israel to its knees apology wasnt enough one could tell this from his speech the day apology issued, the main reason behind this is the arrogance of israel he thinks a tiny country should not be so independet on attacking otehr countries where he claims to be the sheriff, thats all its his jurisdiction and he doesnt want anything to happen without his permission thats why he keep telling what othr countries should do or not sounds like big ambitions but man really has it in his mind :)
27. It's not an excuse that justifies the
Get Real ,   UK   (05.07.13)
operation, but a reason.One of self defence,just like enforcing a naval blockade against another set of terrorists.
28. Erdogan, stop running your mouth.
Frank ,   Piddldunk, WI   (05.07.13)
You make yourself look childish and weak.
29. Erdogan you told Syria last time..
Ivan ,   South Africa   (05.07.13)
to retaliate against Israel,nothing came of it,after this statement of yours we all know what a idiot you are..
30. Poor Turkey....led by a donkey
Mark ,   London, UK   (05.07.13)
In the normal course of events it is unacceptable....but there is an on-goijng state of war between Syria and Israel. Syria allowed Hezbollah to do all the fighting so why should Israel allow them to transfer arms. Thinking back, hasn't Turkey gone chasing after Kurds in Iraq, Syria or Iran in the past?
