1. Turkey wants Jew's money to give to Hamas
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (02.08.17)
Before you plan your trip to Turkey, remember 3 things:

!) Turkey openly supports Hamas
2) Turkey is dangerous. There were over 10 major terrorist attacks last year.
3) Turkey has a totalitarian regime that supports radical Islam.

Sadly under Erdogan Turkey is moving from a minly secular Islamic country towards a country like Iran. It's not the time to give their economy a boost with tourism.
2. First Turkey must return to Israel $20 million blackmail
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (02.08.17)
After that Israelis will evaluate if Turkey deserves their tourist dollars
3. TURKEY WANTS ISRAELI TOURISTS
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (02.08.17)
They can want.
4. Blame the Nazi Erdogan
Motti ,   Huntingdon. uk   (02.08.17)
I made two business trips to Turkey and was pleasantly surprised to see Hebrew notices welcoming Israeli on shop widows in Antalya.

I found the people friendly courteous and were very respecful, knowing that ~I was Jewish

Unfortunately, Erdogan showed his true intentions and I would not visit thast country anymore than I would say to Syria. They want our money, well let thedm continue their love in with Russina today
5. Israel also wants 600,000 tourists from Turkey
Yiddle ,   Efrat   (02.08.17)
It will take me a long time to forget how Turkey dealt with us. Where are their "600,000 tourists" to Israel, Holy to Muslems and Christians. Turkey has 75 million people and we have one tenth of that. .Where are 6 Million Turkish tourists to Israel? Turkey has nice views but So does LOL Greece .
6. 600,000 tourists? start by releasing 10,000 + journalists,
Rafi ,   US   (02.09.17)
doctors and other innocents from your jails.
7. What's the matter Turkey? Are your financial resources...
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv   (02.09.17)
...drying up? I thought that Turkey doesn't need Israeli tourists.

600.000 Israeli tourists? Dream on, but you can get 600.000 bombs dropped on your heads in Ankara and Istanbul.
8. LET THEM GO TO HELL WITH HAMAS TOGETHER.!!!
Oleg ,   Fort lauderdale USA   (02.10.17)
any Jew or Israeli visiting or doing business in NAZI TURKEY if you get hurt or killed there I wont feel sorry or sad for you. They hate us with a passion. Spend your time and money elsewhere. Ten of our beautiful soldiers hurt bad because of their Hitler. God bless Israel and our great brave soldiers. Thank you.
9. Forget Politics: The math is off
Essie ,   USA   (02.11.17)
Turkey is expecting one out of every thirteen Israelis to visit that country in one year. That is like setting a goal of 23,000,000 Americans to visit Turkey in that same amount of time. If a tourist board sets goals, make it reality based.
10. I would never go there.
susan ,   Kfar Sabs   (02.11.17)
I was in the airport and felt very uncomfortable. After the way they have treated Israel, I hope that no Israelis will go there. Once they were the cheapest airline, but now there are many more cheap flights. No need to go to Turkey.
