33. Hypocrite
Asa ,   Afula   (05.07.13)
This Idiot yell on the world that nobody do anything against Assad, and then he attack Israel on doing something. When Turkey killed 35 Kurdish cevilian by airstrike, he just smiled.
34. Mr. Erdogan
USA   (05.07.13)
There is a valid moral reason/excuse. Please consult the map of the Middle East and note the land mass, oil resources and population of 22 Arab nations, 1 Iranian and 1 Turkish all ganged up on TINY Israel. Hopefully there is still hope for you, i.e. there's still some moral clarity left in your God given brain.

He is living in ivory tower. Leftism-Paganism has dominated the media and America's highest institutions. Congress is fast asleep. White America seems to have disappeared. It will take Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee or Sarah Palin to turn America around to where it should be-back to its roots-the nation of the Free and the Brave whose strength and power come from the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that guided America's Founding Fathers.
37. Mr Erdogan's Comments.
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (05.07.13)
I submit that it is Mr Erdogan's THOUGHTS, WORDS and DEEDS that are unacceptable. Not Israel's RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF.
38. Erdogan's just jealous
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.07.13)
For all of Turkey's tough talk about being the "dominant power" in the Middle East (yuk!), Erdogan's been keeping his thumb in his colostomy bag for three years, despite the deepening threat that Syria (and Iran) pose to Turkey. Tiny little Israel, on the other hand, actually did something to stem the flow of weapons and destroy the chemical and biological stockpiles. Jealous? Wrong word. I do believe I meant to say "humiliated." Suck it up, Turkey boy. Israel just kicked you in a VERY sensitive part of your anatomy, and I'm LOVING IT!
39. Erdogan has proven himself to be an idiot..
Beary White ,   Norway   (05.07.13)
..so whatever he means, if there are any possibilities to smear Israel, he will do it. Then his spoken message is zero, instead, look at his character: In that way he is a radical islamic follower who full-hearted would like to kill all infidels, does not care if beeing christians, armenians, jews or kurds, ..-he do not care. His vision is to be a new "ottoman", dominating the neibouring countries that could compensate for his body size. Remove his high-heel shoes and give him a military haircut, and he will end up ....like a chicken...:-) :-)

Israel Tiny? It keeps expanding day by day as it steals land. Israel tiny" It has the 4th most powerful military in the world, thanks to the US GIVING it advanced weapons. FOC. Without the USA, Israel would have disappeared into Erdogan's colostomy bag years ago. OUCH!
45. To: No. 44
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.07.13)
Excuse me, but conquering territory in the course of fighting a defensive war is scarcely "stealing." If it's theft of land that concerns you, perhaps you might wish to question the United States and Canada about how they acquired their girth, and how many treaties they violated en route to massacring most of the native Amerinds. Or you could ask the Australians how it is that a bunch of criminals were allowed to freely slaughter all those Aborigines. Moreover, the United States doesn't GIVE its weapons systems to Israel. They are sold to Israel, via military credits which must be spent in the United States, or they are the product of joint ventures between Israeli companies and American manufacturers. Don't worry about Israel. We are here to stay, and we have achieved that all by ourselves. The United States has had precious little to do with it.
46. The big Turkey
Eliyahu ,   USA   (05.07.13)
Erdogan will turn on Israel at a drop of a dime. It would be very foolish for Israel to trust him. Soon he will be possessed with an unnatural hate for Israel that he will not be able to contain. That Turkey is a member of NATO will be a big problem for Israel. Erdogan seems to want to be the leader of the new Muslim Caliphate but for that he will have to challenge Iran and the Saudis will remind him that when he bows to pray he must do so facing Mecca which is theirs.
47. But the death of 70,000 Syrians is okay?
nibor ,   israel   (05.07.13)
I can't believe the Turkish people aren't sorry they elected him.
48. To: No. 40
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.07.13)
One hundred and eighty-seven Nobel prizes, for starters. How many can the glorious Turks claim? Two. And one of those was given to a Yemeni woman who did not acquire Turkish citizenship until the year after she was awarded the prize. Gee, that's almost as few as Poland can claim, once you exclude the Nobel Prize winners who were Jewish.
49. Enabling irrationality again.
Norm ,   Minneapolis, USA   (05.07.13)
There is no excuse to justify Erodgan's continuous anti-Israel bating. He can't be that stupid so he's obviously pandering. Unfortunately, his pandering makes the anti-Jewish, Zionistic phobia of the Arabs worse. Would Turkey (or the Arab states for that matter) be better off without Israel. I don't think so.
50. Erdogan, the worst calamity
georgette   (05.07.13)
Republic of Turkey - TC - had to confront during its history.
51. @48
sipahi ,   Istanbul   (05.07.13)
Hey Wikipedia Queen, a prize that is awarded to terrrorists like Menachem Begin for his contribution to mankind at "Camp David Agreement, which brought about a negotiated peace between Egypt and Israel" does not have any meaning. Also the likes of Rabin, Peres, etc. A very politically motivated and "biased" prize. "Chairman of "The President's Commission on the Holocaust" Oh my, oh my.
52. #48 - One hundred and eighty-seven ,...
split ,   US   (05.07.13)
Not for one for born, educated or for his/her work in Israel despite that an average age of Nobel prize winner is around 50 years old - Why is there nothing or no one to steal from? ,...

You on the other hand can claim a few thousand years as strays, slaves and moochers if you believe in your fairy tales. The statehood you got now and about to lose in near future was given to you out of pity because others got tired of you ,...
54. Let's apologise
Roland Seener ,   London England   (05.08.13)
55. To Sarah B.: I try to restrain myself...but...
Israeli 2   (05.08.13)
I must admit every time you talk back to those we feel like "spitting" on, you whack them like no one else can. You demolish them utterly. Could not have said it better. The disgusting, ugly imitators are gone. What happened to them? Dissolved? Keep it up, Queen B.
56. #36 Brod: Maybe He could guide the Arabs away too?
David ,   Israel   (05.08.13)
As for Ron Paul, Rand Paul and their lot, well, with friends like the Pauls, does Israel need enemies? As an American you should know that policy is NOT made by the President. It is made by the State Department and they seem to prefer those who are trying o destroy Israel to us pesky Jews.. The President is elected to serve the people of the USA amd it seems that the people of the USA prefer to kowtow to the Arab Oil Sheiks than to see the dangers of radical Islam within. The Boston Brothers a good enough example?

mark ,   t.a. ISRAEL   (05.08.13)
your country is on the verge of COLLAPSE whereas ours ISRAEL will survive FOREVER just because of the experience we got from the thousand years of calamities which fell upon us as you mentioned in your comment ! Your President is so afraid from the consequences of an intervention to Syria or Iran that he let to to FINISH them to the little but INVINCIBLE ISRAEL ! Look to the recent 3 ATTACKS ON SYRIA from ISRAEL ! Your President is speaking of RED LINE and bla bla bla and NO ACTION ! Your COUNTRY has lost his credibility just because COWARDS LIKE YOU !
58. To: No. 53
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.08.13)
Keep dreaming, swinia. Perhaps someday you will actually grow to believe your own delusions. Or do you already? If that is the case, you probably can add to the SSI and disability that you already steal from the United States taxpayers. The mentally ill are entitled to government (i.e., taxpayer) money -- and you are seriously in need of confinement in a mental health facility. Eat your heart out. Poland is sinking ever deeper into an economic morass -- the shipyards in Gdansk, Gdynia and Sczeczin lie rusting and vacant -- and Israel's economy is among the fastest-growing in the world.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.08.13)
First of all, thank you for your kind words. As to the trolls -- I, too, noticed that they seem to be gone. I suspect that YNet moderators are checking IP addresses. When you have a vibrant and viable website, the trolls only succeed in driving the thoughtful people away. There's nothing that can be done about the cretins and idiots who frequent the website -- except reject a particularly obnoxious post. Trolls can be denied access permanently. Queen B, eh? I like it. Do you mind if I steal it?
60. To: No. 52
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.08.13)
First of all, did you not specify "Jews?" Go back and read your post. But there is no shortage of Israeli born and educated Nobel laureates. Besides, I think you will find that most Jews do not distinguish between Am Israel and Eretz Israel. The link is undeniable, even to a rabid anti-Semite such as yourself. What's Poland's excuse? Sienkewicz, the author, fled Poland -- never to return -- for the United States. Marie Curie won her glory for France, and said so upon receiving her awards. Have no fear. Should there ever be a Nobel category for pig farming and cabbage-growing, I'm sure the Poles will do quite well. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully, the next Polish winner will not embarrass himself as badly as did Lech Walesa at the award ceremony ..... showed up half in the bag, he did.
