Mike: It's called turkish delight! Its true colour is normally pink - what is this asshole's true colour? yellow like the streak down the former London mayor's back?

You think you're so clever? You try catch Hamas militants when they hide behind women and children, like cowards. They launch rockets from schools. For Hamas they place civilians in front of them for two reasons : (1) They know Israel will hesitate to attack and (2) if Israel attacks and harms civilians it makes Israel looks bad. Both ways Hamas forces Israel to make difficult moral choices and wins the propoganda war. Apparently you have a better solution so I think you should go speak to the Israeli military.
33. Don't invite Erdogan nor Peres to your formal "do"
Gur   (01.29.09)
They'll spill their drinks all over people, and act disorderly, what an embarrassment.
34. appalling.....
Joseph ,   Crescent City, Ca   (01.29.09)
israel is clearly wrong... get out of the West Bank, quit expanding settlements, and begin respecting international and humanitarian laws. Do what you want, just do it without American money and weapons.
35. erdogan and his arab wife
marcel   (01.29.09)
Beyond islamic brainwashing that erdogan had as a youngster, his wife is arabic so he defends her regardless of facts.He killed 1.5 millioin armenians, slaughered kurds by the thousands and he complains of 1000 gazans. If Putin was PM of israel, 100,000 gazans would be dead and erdogan would be afraid of saying one word. I call on the Turksih court, there is enough evidence, remove erdogan and his justice party. He had ruined turkey as another islamic radical. He spits on the memory of ataturk.
36. A Clown. Stop Turkey entering EU
Liliane ,   Brighton, SX, UK   (01.29.09)
Good. Now everyonbe can see what a Clown this guy is. Turkey must not enter the EU.
37. #16 - Do not kill civilians...
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (01.29.09)
Hey, comrade - do we have to learn from you in Chechnya? or in Krimea? or other expulsions of the native people from their land all over russian empire? You want to ask Estonians? Latvians? Litvaks? What about Germans from Prussa (Eastern)? Or killing Hungarians in 56, Czechs in 68, Afgans in 80's? Our "pamyat'" is long.... Just sit tightly in your Moscovia and watch moslems taking over Russia.. Soon..
38. BOYCOTT TURKEY
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (01.29.09)
No Israeli should ever go to Turkey on vacation again!!
39. 16, you are an idiot.
Danny the Danish ,   Denmark   (01.29.09)
Don't you think everything possible was done to prevent deaths of civilians? Just ask yourself: why would Israel want to kill civilians? How does that serve Israel's purposes? The world hates Israel for that, so why would they still do it? And why would they send ground forces there? Could it be that they tried to prevent civilian casualties? Otherwise, they could just bomb all Gaza from the air, couldn't they? You gotta question these things before you submit your shallow and fairly obvious talkbacks.
40. #16
Ram ,   London   (01.29.09)
Next time Israel should go into Gaza and shout "hey pussy pussy come out here" and Hamas will crawl out from behind the women and children then Israel can begin the fight. GET REAL YOU MORON!! These cowards were showering Israel with rockets then hiding behind women and children!
41. i love Erdogan

Sinan ,   İstanbul/TURKEY   (01.29.09)

43. to answer arie's question
ozdemir ,   istanbul turkey   (01.29.09)
we gave 10.000 martyr to terrorism for 30 years but we didn't kill civilians or kurds in iraq. we are fighting with terror and we killed terrorists. in turkey 3million kurds lives with peace. our war is with terror not to iraqs civillizations or living kurds in our country or iraq.
44. Mikhail
Miriam ,   Canada   (01.29.09)
so- to hear zou talk, Mikhail: Kurds are not people? Turkey is about the last country to tell Israel off- what a nerve. Hamas uses civilians because the 'brave' fighters hide between women and children....some heroes*
45. syria annexation
syrian American ,   Damascus   (01.29.09)
i demand that we should be part of Turkey like we were before . Erdogan was right ..when an Israeli soldier asks a palestinian mother of 10 kids to choose five of her kids to sacrifice for Israel ..and they killed them . another mother they killed her 9 month old baby in her lap ..then killed her in front of her 13 years old daughter who was telling the story .. your actions are all documented and archived ...it is an uphill battle for you . MR Peres need to give back his Noble price ..a law suite for that is in progress . MR Erdogan move is right and it is the tip of the ice burg .. ain't seen anything yet . Tell MR Peres that from now on he should be expecting that until soon he will be arrested in one of europe airport aalong your generals .
46. Erdogan is crying
Salvador ,   USA   (01.29.09)
He is crying like the Libanes conterpart when Israel bombed Hezbollah
47. #21 u can't take on Gaza, now Turkey?! ha ha
husam ,   GA, USA   (01.29.09)
48. Peres called Erdogan
ozdemir ,   istanbul turkey   (01.29.09)

49. thank u pm erdogan
mahmut ,   nederland   (01.29.09)
israel should stop to war in the palestina and must to give ground from palistina after that if hamas not stop wiht roketen israel been right
50. no more fooling by military
observer   (01.29.09)
in the strike against Syrian plant, Israel did use Turkey's air space in the go and fro routes. The aircrafts wouldn't have dropped fuel tanks except in the forward route, not the return one; a routine procedure in air strikes. The newly elected Turkish PM was fooled by the military; both Israeli & Turkish. Israeli military wouldn't fool him twice.
51. TO # 17
Emre ,   Istanbul   (01.29.09)
We are all proud with our prime minister, that no one have the heart int he world to tell the truth to your presidents face.... Bravo Erdogan !
52. Turkish president walks off stage over Gaza
Arman ,   Istanbul Turkey   (01.29.09)
SHALOM... Talking to Perez like that was revolting, It should be ERDOGAN THAT WAS APOLOGIZING... This is not the first time I'm ashamed of Rt.erdogan. His rage against Israel has become unbearable for me. I am not alone ( %43 of Turkish voters did not vote for him). Please don't jump to any conclusions before you curse to us all. As a nation back-stabbed by arabs during the WWI, most of us do not harbour love for the arabs. our PM. and Prsdnt have some arabic connections via father or wife depending on which 1 we're talkin about. As a TC citizen with roots deeply penetrared in to the Balkans, especially Thessaloniki where our forfathers lived together in peace (also where I'd been raised up Bakirkoy-Istanbul) I was shocked to see that aggression in the name of my country. There are many people here in Turkey, especially in Istanbul and Izmir that detest that kind of AGGRESSION... Shalom ve Lehitraot

55. Stop being arrogant
Murat BULUT ,   Bucharest, Romania   (01.29.09)
You may have the most sophisticated businessmen on the world, you may have the people behind the american politics, all the western world may be backing you BUT it doesnt mean that you may act arrogantly to TURKISH prime minister
56. Tayyip erdogan
hayati ,   israel   (01.29.09)
he is such a sissy i feel sorry for him realy..... uneducated blinded by islamist ideas in order to come to power and rule a country that is going down the tubes, he does not even know the history of his own country. he forgot that he send turkish soldiers to battle kurdish insergents sending them the turkish soldiers he forgot that his regime and before that some 20000 kurds died just defending the turkish terretory from so called kurdihs terrorists did naybody from israel ever critisized him for it no how in the hell he has the balls to tell israel that they are killing children? HE IS ONLY POLITICS AND AN ASSHOLE
57. erdoğan doesn't represent all turks...
tuba ,   ankara   (01.29.09)
I do not approve his behaviours.He is just playing because of the elections in march.
58. Israel
Memo ,   Turkey   (01.29.09)
Torrerist are in the worl Israel and USA. But the others isnt powerful. So They are doing what they want. Israel kill children and innocent people. WHY THE WORLD IS SILENCE killer israel
59. somebody is scared
khalid ,   Jordan   (01.29.09)
BTW, if you watch an unbisaed news channel, Peres aplogized over the phone.
60. Peres forgot to mention the Kurds and Armenians
Sean the Jew Lover ,   Londonistan, UK   (01.29.09)
I guess we should presume that no innocent Kurds or Armenians were ever killed by the Turks. The day that backwards cesspit of a country joins Europe is the day I cash in my Green Card (sadly I'm not Jewish so Israel isn't an option, but I'm not bitter as I understand why - for every good guy like me there would be 1000 ISM toerags applying...)
