Your last sentence...from your mouth to God's ears.
32. All Jews should leave Turkey in time -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.17.14)
- Gog and Magog will go over Her !. Arn.Sweden.
33. Responsible parties need to pay the price.
Jerusalem   (07.17.14)
Of course now if your talking about a "leader" like President Abbas apologizing for inciting riot and "revolution" as he called it and innocent people dying, all Jewish, than that's the least someone could do. Now, Turkish Jews apologizing for the actions of Israel sounds more like bullying. You can be assured that their is no elation in the heart of a Jew when innocent people die. Applying the same standard PM Erdogan is insinuating, the Islamic world should apologize to all the brutal murders of Jews at the hand of so-called Muslims that should know their penalties are death. It would apply to everyone the same. You can feel the sorrow for actions and not be because you are to blame.
34. Turkiye
Ata   (07.17.14)
Turkey is a country where no one should invest a penny and as long as Erdogan and his AKP are in power it should be banned from being in Nato and not be part of the EEC. Send there people from EEC back to Turkey.
35. Inspiration from Malmoe?
Artur K ,   Sweden   (07.17.14)
The Turks might have been inspired by the ex mayor of Malmoe in Sweden Mr Ilmar Reepalu who expected the Jews of the town to issue a collective condemnation of Israel following the Operation Casted Lead.
36. #32,Arn. A better idea
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (07.17.14)
I know that Arn is well-meaning,but why should innocent people have their lives disrupted? A better idea is that Erdogan and his cronies leave Turkey and leave the rest of the Turkish citizens in peace.Everyone would gain,especially Turkish women,and there can be a restoration of civil rights,freedom of expression and friendship between people. Turkish people would be better off using the State of Israel as a role-model rather than Iran. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
37. Turkish Genocide
bigben ,   newark USA   (07.18.14)
First, Erdogan should apologize for the Armenian Holocaust.
38. LIES
ALAN GREENBERG ,   usa   (07.18.14)
It's easy for these newspapers to slander and lie .... it's part of their culture .... and keeping the majority uneducated and ignorant just adds to it, Good work Erdogan ... you will see how the rest of the non-arab world thinks you are a joke ... hopefully, Turkey will wake up to the truth sooner than later.
39. Turkey a member of NATO?
arne ,   chicago usa   (07.17.14)
I always thought the members of NATO were supposed to conform to a certain code of ethics, sort of like western ideals.How then is Turkey allowed to sit at the table?They certainly don't fit in or do they?
40. Erdogan degrades self and Turkey
Benji ,   US   (07.17.14)
Erdogan behaving like Hitler as he scapegoats Jews. Taking Turkey back to 7th century so he can pound his chest and get approval from Islamists. He's become an embarrassment for Turkey.
41. #39
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (07.18.14)
Wherever did you get that idea? You are confusing it with the EU. Mind you, not that EU succeeds all the time.
42. To 36
Adler   (07.19.14)
Turkey citizens have more freedom of expression than what you think. For instance, do you remembered the riots against Erdogan over the Gezi Park demolition in Istambul? It was a complete success for the opposition leaders. Turkish jews must not leave Turkey, what they have to do is to became part of the goverment, it could be very interesting to see a future pm or turkish president...but Jew. And in my opinion, the only thing we should apologize to Erdogan and Turkey is for the 500 years we didnt demolish the Al Qudz... Shalom
43. generals of turkey-put erdogan in jail
salad   (07.19.14)

45. Correction of my previous comment..
Adler   (07.19.14)
Sorry, i wrote before Al Quds instead of Al Aqsa, "And in my opinion, the only thing we should apologize to Erdogan and Turkey is for the 500 years we didnt demolish the Al Aqsa Mosque" Shalom
46. Turkey is right, thats uncommon. Usually muslim kill muslim!

47. Q&A
Adler   (07.19.14)
Do you think that Fatah-Hamas reconciliation had the purpose to lead to a IDF vs Hamas military confrontation? Hamas dont have the capability to fabricate rockets and to developed drones like the U.S.A., Israel or Turkey? Maybe hamas buy the rockets- from egypt when Morsi was President? and how do you know Egypt destroyed the Rafa tunnels before they were used by Sudanese and Eritreans to get inside Israel? Or the Sudanese's were facilitators of Gaza-weapons being smuggled into Egypt and from there to Gaza strip?

Comment - The Mongol Turks does not leave anything loothed ( the Land of Asia-minor) if not killed. Arn.Sweden.
49. This guy doesn't represent Turkey
AfraidToGiveMyName ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (07.19.14)
To the people who is reading this article. Nothing will happen to the jews in Turkey. Erdogan is a psychopath and has many enemies in Turkey. He does not represent Turkey. He is hateful, and he adopts the same hateful, inciteful language against his domestic opponents. He is the symbol of a backward mentality that is bound to lose and that will lose. There are many in Turkey that know this, we will rid ourselves of him and of those who represent his mentality. He will suffer for his crimes.
50. Wrong #19, Congress, not Obama, funds Israeli-made Iron Dome
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (07.20.14)
Congress votes funds to help Israeli factories produce Iron Dome, invented entirely by Israeli scientists. Obama has nothing to do with it. Congress recently voted to double US support for Iron Dome, by veto-proof majorities. Obama is just along for the ride, not a damn thing he can do about it.
51. Turkey
Joe Charlaff ,   Mevasseret Zion   (07.19.14)
Erdogan can go to hell! We dont need and dont want relations with his country.
52. are jews EVER going to learn?
les ,   canada   (07.30.14)
what the hell are jews doing in a islamo fascist country. boggles the mind.
