1. The violence needs to stop
J K ,   NYC, USA   (03.02.08)
Of course we expect bias from the UN and EU As for Bush...the violence must stop? Great..lets pull all the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan and at the same time fix the US economy which is a shambles. Why return to the negotiation table? Hamas and Fatah may share the same goal of Israel's destruction, but they are certainly not friends. Fighting Hamas on one side only affects Abbas in the sense that he has to support them or he will lose the support he already has, which is negligible. And should Israel which pulled out of Gaza 2.5 years ago and no longer occupies it have to suffer daily Grad and Qassam attacks which NEVER stopped. No, the escalation has been on Hamas and Islamic Jihad's side all along and only now does the IDF seem to be doing something about it. All the protestations are about money or power, not about how it was wrong to be shooting at Israel in the first place. The world seems to love dead Jews, but the living ones have their scorn. Fight on IDF...if its Israeli citizens or Hamas and their callous use of Gaza citizenry, I'll pick Israeli citizens every time.
2. More American betrayal
Frank ,   Canada   (03.02.08)
"Peace" supporters use to claim that "peace" talks must continue in spite of terror attacks. They must know support the opposite: the "peace" talks may continue in spite of Israeli operations against Hamas.
3. violence
Steven Dill ,   USA   (03.02.08)
In my opinion you should tell the hypocrites to mind their own business.
4. US invading Afghanistan as response to 9/11 disproportionate
Nannette ,   London   (03.02.08)
And US invasion of Iraq has no justification. The antisemitic hypocrites at the White House & State Dept should look at their own policies - and should NOT condemn Israel's self defence. If America was bombed every day by a neighbouring state, they'd have flattened the area by now!
5. Why doesn't hajj bush shut up?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.02.08)
How many afghans and iraqi children were killed by the U.S.? It happens in war. How many Kurdish children were killed by the turks?
6. Double Standards
Simon ,   C.Town, South Africa   (03.02.08)
The Pals are firing rockets from civillian areas using the local population as human shields. This will cause fatalities and make the Israelis look bad. Turkey must keep their nose out of it are they not killing the kurds ? Double standards all over again.
7. Is this the same turkey who compared qassams to snowballs
M.M.   (03.02.08)
that "don't kill". These "turkeys" should get some of these snowballs and they'll understand why the IDF will HOPEFULLY CARPET-BOMB GAZA once and for all. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/947607.html
8. Turkey avoids civilian causialities at the all costs
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (03.02.08)
That is why Turkey lost so many soldiers in operations, because Turkey avoids civilian and especially children at the cost of her Soldiers. Turkey has high values and thousands of years's honourable army traditions This valued are became values of our nation not only army. Your way of war just show your values ISRAEL MEANS MASSACRE
9. HEY BUSH, THE STUPIDITY ......................
SHEILA ROYCE ,   INTREPID ARK.   (03.02.08)
"NEEDS" TO STOP ! DID YOUR MOTHER DROP YOU ON THE HEAD WHEN YOU WERE A BABY ? YOU DON'T SPEAK TO ISRAELI'S WITH IMPERATIVES LIKE YOUR AFIRMATIVE ACTION SKUNK ! WHY DONT YOU SHUT UP AND TRY TELLING THE 200,000 VOTERS IN FLORIDA WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO ASSURE THERE PREROGATIVE TO VOTE IN DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS !

robert ,   farmington   (03.02.08)

11. once again [no learn]
huda ,   jerusalem   (03.02.08)
many mistakes was done in lebanon last war but one is not learned it is judgment on the corps is different from that of the field .. hay bush know it better than israil
12. To #8
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (03.02.08)
I remember something about Armenians. Does that ring any Turkish bells?
13. HOW STUPID CAN A MAN BE ?
JACQUILYN ARMORSTEIN   (03.02.08)
So much so that he has no more self control than an animal ? He "feels" he can "react" like an infantile child that wants, needs, or demands attention ? I'm an Israeli-American and a constituant of the Israeli electorate and, you wouldn't dare say that to my FACE ! "The violence needs to stop and the talks need to resume," White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. FIRE THIS FOOL, ISN'T THE IMPERATIVES OF rice ENOUGH ?
14. To the Turk who thinks his army was compassionate
peggy ,   UK   (03.02.08)
they were nothing but murders with no concept of compassion, just read up on it. Think you may live in a dream world....Galipoli, the dardenelles, arabis and eretz israel, then called palastine by the brits, sure your army was compassionate..I DONT THINK!
15. This you
(03.02.08)
Now you are biting the hands which feeded you and protected you .... this is you .
16. #8
Israel Israeli ,   tel aviv   (03.02.08)
I love Turkey and the Turkish people, and I support them. Please remember that the defensive war Israel is waging against Arab initiated genocide is the same you are fighting. That said, I must point out that your letter forgets some less honorable history, like your wars (justified or not) against the Greeks and Armenians which were not devoid of civilian casualties. As for Bush, he's owned by Fahd and Haliburton. What does anyone expect him to say?
17. WORDS OF A "C" AVERAGE ALCOHOLIC
SERGIO ,   ISRAEL   (03.02.08)
(I AM A US CITIZEN, AND IN THE US ONE CAN CALL HIS PRESIDENT A SCHMUCK: WE HAVE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION)
18. Turkey, Mauritania (for pete's sake), George:
Yossi ,   Levittown, PA, US   (03.02.08)
SHUT UP!
19. TURKEY KILLS ITS OWN CIVILIANS
david hasday ,   new york   (03.02.08)
bs"d # 8 doesn't know what he is talking. Turks wouldn't care more as I have seen pictures what they were capable doing to their own Kurdish villagers. Raping and killing and then taking pictures with killed people stocked with their own private parts in their mouths. Turkey is the last one to preach ethics on the issue. Erdogan is a perfect anti-semit per se. PKK terrorists are at least honorable fighters that don't hide in the civilian populated areas as Erdogan's brothers of HAMAS do. Israel has the most ethically oriented army on the face of the earth. I don't even dream what Turkey or any other Muslim country for that matter would be doing in a case where you are targeted from civilian arreas. Coward HAMAS (Erdogan's brothers) are that good only...
20. Turkey attacks Iraq
herb glatter ,   pittsburgh, pa, usa   (03.02.08)
Turkey's armed forces 10,000 strong accompanied by tanks, artillery and aircraft invade Iraq - nobody cares, the UN slept as usual. Now when Jews have the temerity to defend their families and homeland the world is in an uproar. Jews are News.
21. the European fangs are reappearing.
Michael   (03.02.08)
israel could trust the arabs more than the europeans. At least the arabs are open about their hostilities toward israel. While the europeans pretend to be our friends. The europeans are our friends ,as long, as Jews" turn the other cheek".
22. THIS WAR IS ILLEGAL !
SAM TRINANT   (03.02.08)
“We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want to be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies." Ehud Olmert June 2005 address to the Israel Policy Forum in New York WE HAVE TIRED "LEADERSHIP" !!
23. YnetNews into propaganda as well
USA   (03.02.08)
Nice photo. You gave the Commonwealth hatemongers a reason to spew, as if their country are such great friends of Israel. The Commonwealths use the same hypocrisy the Palestinians do demonizing a country while never comparing it to any other country and spreading more hatred in the world. Maybe we should stop blocking all the UN resolutions against your country. You seem to enjoy making enemies.
24. Bush, SHUT UP!!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (03.02.08)
25. Leshem Shamayim don't stop!
Bet Chesed ,   galut,chutz la'eretz   (03.02.08)
If anything, Israel is showing restraint right now. They need to unleash their full force on Hamas and uproot the evil organization from the land of Israel. Stand strong against the anti-semitic, pro-islamic EU!
26. The White House is merely giving the expected,..............
Cameron ,   USA   (03.02.08)
perfunctory sqawk. They know, as well as you & I, what's coming.
27. Quite frankly I'm with Simon
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.02.08)
28. The same Turkey that invaded Iraq...
(03.02.08)
29. DEAR MR. BUSH,
Juan ,   Spain   (03.02.08)
Why is the USS Cole sitting in the Med off Lebanon? Is it like the Rainbow Warrior - a pink fluffy PEACE ship? Or is it an instrument of war? My point is - hypocrisy
30. Bush should pay up and shut up; only Zionist-speak allowed
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (03.02.08)
Unless Bush supports IDF terror he should be banned from speaking. Israel must be allowed to use US death weapons as it likes no matter how many children get killed. AIPAC rules!
