Petra ,   usa   (01.16.09)
spend your money at home. Israel is where your money belongs NOT w/ those who hate US. Israels products are being boycotted, it's the least you can do. BOYCOTT MUSLIMS PRODUCTS, BEGINNING W/ OIL.

65. # 19 Turk no problems stay out of turkey
Petra ,   usa   (01.16.09)
will become a new mantra for all who love Israel. keep your crap to yourselves. The biggest theives are the barbaric turks. BOYCOTT TURKEY. FOREVER
66. TB- a place to vent your anger- ???
Miriam ,   Canada   (01.16.09)
I realize many Israelis are stressed out and worried about the war, this is understandable and is an excuse to a certain point- but: TB has become a place to insult, call people names, etc. vent your anger- Ynet does not seem to censure blatant racism - and everybody who does not agree 100% with what is said by an Israeli is an Anti-Semite- this is wrong, wrong, wrong. TB should be a discussion not spreading hatred. If 1% of the population in a country stages a demonstration- that 1% does NOT speak for the entire country or the government- you of all people should know and understand that. Right now, on TB, you are isolating yourself from just about every country in the world just because a few people do not agree with you. Well- surprise, not everybody agrees with you either- it does not mean that person hates Israel and Jews. So, don't alienate the few friends you have, please! Shabbat Shalom- may the next week be a happier one.
67. In response to #45
Ibrahim ,   Istanbul   (01.16.09)
I hope you are also teaching your children that at the Imperial Ottoman Government was also composed of a large number of Jews from the vilayet of palestine. I hope you are also teaching them that the State of Israel was formerly part of the Ottoman Empire and that its citizens were formerly Imperial Ottoman citizens, taking part in all type of Ottoman civic life. Perhaps you should also teach them how a large number of the Sultans wives were jewish and that they yielded alot of power. Perhaps you should also teach them that a large number of Imperial Ottoman army officers were also Jewish.
68. LOL
Tom   (01.16.09)
"You can't boycott us, cuz we boycott you." Way to go, they can both murder and act like children.
69. Israel is the root of all evils including PKK
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (01.16.09)
PKK survived by Israeli support until now, from the very begining PKK was found to cause hostility between Syria and Turkey In fact Israel is very effective in Syrian upper ranks with high number of spies and provactors Yesterday Lebnan massacre today Gaza massacre and tomorow other massacres all blood shed by Israel You should add current 1500 innocent decimated by Israel 1000 lebonanese children and also 30 000 Turkish citizens killed by PKK because PKK is israeli supported terror organization PM erdogan only try to show himself outspoken anti-israili because Turkish elections geting closer and Erdogan just try to fool muslim voters
70. to 69 Tayfun
T. Traub ,   Phoenix, USA   (01.16.09)
why do all your Israeli massacre numbers have 000 at the end? Could it be you shifted the decimal a few spots to the right by mistake? I should mention, given that Muslims invented "zero" I am surprised that you are so bad with numbers. On the other hand, those muslims were really a different civilization from the violent, backward tribes that seem to predominate today. A mullah in Egypt today proclaims: We should worship death. Black eyed virgins await you in the afterlife. And hordes of naive young fools hurtle themselves into the abyss, on the words of a crazy fool. Wake up, Muslims, in Turkey and elsewhere, before the world passes you by.
71. Boycoyy Israel
Bill   (01.17.09)
Wow, when Canadians talk about boycotting Israel, Jews call us racist!!!
72. Iranian and Arab tourists will compensate for it.
Turkey   (01.18.09)
Average expenditure per tourist in Turkey: Iranian tourist: $3,140 Israeli tourist: $1,350 This boycott is going to help us in terms of tourism incomes. Moreover Iranians are much more hospitable,and share similar values with Turks unlike Israelis who are very spoiled, rude and poor in hygiene.
73. Terrorist actions
istanbul ,   Turkey   (01.18.09)
%90 of the people have no problem with Israel whatsoever. We heard some protest after Friday pray in the past with several hundred people. But this is different. You cannot fire a building and kill dosens of women and children and say we are fighting agains hamas. We are not stupied.I haven't heard that turkish army bombed a neighbourhood or fired from tanks even though they fight sometimes in the mountains that have 3 thousand s height. They take risks and operate in this way. We cannot accept hamas or any terrorist organisation to terrorise Israeli people as they have the right to prorect themself but that doesn't means you can go and fire a neighbourhood or drop bombs from planes. We all know it is painfull. I think the best way is to put all palestinians together and give them an acceptable territories and stop this mess. Generaly speaking, turk do not hate israeli people. They also donot fall in love with arabs
74. Israeli Tourist Boycott
afakasi Noel ,   Ho Chi Minh City   (01.19.09)
Israeli tourists refusing to visit certain countries? A price worth paying, and a great New Year gift from israel to the rest of the world
75. Turkey
Linda ,   Israel   (01.19.09)
Turkey has never attracted me. I also hope that after this article will stop supporting the Turks and put your money in our beautiful country and if you really feel the urge to be between muslims then take a drive out to Ramallah heights and park your car there for a week. Its exactly the same thing a nice holiday!
76. To #72
Tunisian ,   Tunisia   (01.19.09)
LOL.... Absolutely agree. Brother turks, sons of glorious ottomans, you dont need those killers... let them boycott. you'll gain in volume and in "average" quality. And my next destination will be Turkey.
77. boycott
ella ,   London   (01.21.09)
.. Turkey do not need people like you..so stay where you are Zionist jew . .We are boycoting israeli goods...Israel has been killing,stealing land of palestines..for years...
78. TURKS
Avi ,   Israel   (01.25.09)
Turks hate us no matter what, the are always support palestinians, so dont go to turkey, they are racists, in istanbul you can see slogans like jews and dogs not allowed to enter to this shop.
79. BOYCOTT TURKEY, A NATION OF ANTI-SEMITES!!!
Avraham ,   NYC   (02.02.09)
80. israel lost a real friend
cem ,   istanbul   (02.05.09)
we turks mostly like jews and dont feel too close to arabs. we mostly admire the struggles that israelis has done to get a country. we only dont like to bomb randomly, killing civilians and babies and children. this is disgusting. you dont fight like this. if israelis aprove this kind of massacres, ı can predict that we will become enemies in near future.ı want these israeli leaders to be trialed and sentenced. and obviously you should not visit turkey if you like this kind of criminal ,inhumane violance.no problem. but if there are israelis who can object this criminal act, they will always be welcomed.
81. #80
Cem ,   Germany   (03.01.09)
I completely agree with #80 and my name is Cem too haha crazy. Ok anyway, as already stated, the Turkish People are no Anti-Semites, but friends of the Isrealis. However, if you continue to endorse and support this kind of inhumane acts we will become enemys soon. This is nothing you would want, trust me. Anyway, normal Israelis who don't believe in killing of innocent people are welcome in Turkey.
82. If the Turkish want to be our enemies -
Ofri ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (06.02.10)
then they should feel it in their $$$.... That's the best way - more than anything. They will beg us to come back... but Israelis should remember not to give up to temptations.
83. to#80
avi ,   israel   (07.05.10)
