61. #16 Mikhail!
sean the Jew Lover ,   londonistan, UK   (01.29.09)
I guess you were filled with horror when your forces killed those poor, cuddly muzzy-wuzzies in Beslan. Hey! perhaps Spain will arrest Putin and charge him with 'crimes against humanity'! Don't worry though, when Rus is under the black flag of islam I'll do my bit to help you. I don't bear grudges...
62. No wonder Turkey is called the sick man of Europe
Debbie ,   Toronto   (01.29.09)
Can you say Armenian genocide Kurdish genocide Anyone????
63. Erdogan, the Bully
Doug Miller ,   Detroit, USA   (01.29.09)
Obviously, PM Erdogan wasn't on the debate team in high school. You only walk away when you're losing the argument. And by the way don't try to confuse an anti-Semite with the facts. It only riles them up and they don't listen anyways. Nice try Shimon
64. IRAQ- stop turkey to attack your land
salvador ,   usa   (01.29.09)
65. Erdogan absolutly Righte
Erdogan Right ,   London   (01.29.09)
Erdogan 100% Right
66. SHALOM
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 after 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.
67. israel is killer.
turks ,   istanbul   (01.29.09)

68. That's the correct step
Brad ,   USA   (01.29.09)

69. filistin
SERKAN   (01.29.09)
thanks.PM ERDOĞAN for GAZZE people
70. Temperless PM
Goy ,   Ashdod   (01.29.09)
Erdogan is known to be a so called maccho in his country insulting a local farmer once making low-profile comments about his mother He recently insulted a greek diplomat in another international forum and he is running for the votes of the radical islamics in Turkey for the forthcoming municipality elections He is a diabetic and look how red he becomes as he talks, definitely not acting appropriate for a prime minister.
71. What about armenians and kurds?
Serg ,   Moscow   (01.29.09)
Erdogan is a lier,Israel must reconize armenian genozide and said about turkish war crimes in Kurdistan. Boyykot Turkey!
72. to Luiza
ismail ,   ankara,turkey   (01.29.09)
Luiza, Luiza, Luiza... you must think... you must see... you must understand... But you didn't see... You cannot understand... and ou cannot think.. Because you can believe only your correct.. ismailcanak@hotmail.com
73. When is Turkey going to end it's occupation of Cyprus?
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.29.09)
They have massacred millions of Armenians and Kurds. Invaded Cyprus. Yet they have the chutzpah to complain that after 8 years we shoot back.
74. turkey is great
ali ,   norway   (01.29.09)
and its army can easily beat israel
75. watch againg and again
talha ,   istanbul   (01.29.09)
Peres called Erdogan and apologize. This shown that you are guilty. Sit down and watch Erdogan's speech again and again than pray for God to forgive you.
76. to #16, Mikhail
normal ,   beer sheva, israel   (01.29.09)
Mikhail, help me refresh my memories, what did your country have done in Georgia? about 2000 Casualties out of them at least 1942 civilians (russian sources)... who are you to judge us? gerogia was in no way any danger to your sovereignty... and still you pounded them to the ground... do us a favor, don't be hypocrite...
77. erdogan aiming to be radical islamist hero
mehmet ,   ankara, turkey   (01.29.09)
when i was watching pm erdogan, i was ashemed that my pm vehemently supporting islamist terrorists rather than suggesting to disarmement of terrorist hamas, he shouldnt be pm, because he behaved as hamas militia
78. Turkish PM Speech
TARIK E. ,   Turkey   (01.29.09)
First of all Turkish PM off course does not represent Turkey alone. Yes he was chosen by public vote but it was not % 100 support.. His speech may be is out of diplomacy but i am sure that if you would be in a discussion with an average Turkish people you would hear same arguments. When we just think about technology you ( israel and palestine ) have. If you really want you can track one by one Hamas officials( or terrrorists ) . So if there were 1000 civilian killed. There is something wrong about it.
79. to #26,Gokhan
normal ,   beer sheva, israel   (01.29.09)
Gokhan, I've shed a tear on every child that was killed in the last operation. need I remind you who was hiding behind the baby? something tells me that if I'll ask you where would I live, the answer will be alaska... so on the same coin, I can say, the Palestinians has two choices, share the land with us or find refuge in one of the other 22 arab countries in the world. btw, I have no other jew country to go to...
80. Israel is guilty
burak ,   TURKEY   (01.29.09)
Peres called Erdogan and apologize. This shown that you are guilty. Sit down and watch Erdogan's speech again and again than pray for God to forgive you.
81. Islamic President
yerli ,   sivas   (01.29.09)
I love my PM he is zhe bessstttt!! "israel is murdering wifes and childrens with phosphor bombs!!!
82.  jews are repeating history
BOZKURT ,   LONDON G.B   (01.29.09)
out of all people in the world you jews should know what genocide is ..only difference is you have had USA behind you to give you a land called israel and lot of Propaganda with movies etc.Now you are repeating history..
83. #26 what homeland? palestine was never state, they are arabs
(01.29.09)
they live by mujahideen laws, and you must endorse jihad if you agree with their cause. they don't care for human life, they live on top of explosives, under their houses bunkers of arsenal, and rockets in mosks, and machine guns in tunnels under residential areas. they were preparing a surprise for israeli soldiers with streets filled with boobytraps but they didn't care what will happen to their gazan civilians, they had no plan for civilians, they didn't warn gaza civilians where they will shoot at idf from, they expected idf to warn instead of hamas israel provides shelters for population, there are special building scattered in southern israel and special rooms in houses, where people can hide incase of missile attack. why didn't hamas think of this for their people?
84. erdogan
omer ,   turkey   (01.29.09)
A shame to jewish people to flush with childeren bloods...
85. Turkey need another Ata Turk Erdogan is extreme jihadists,
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (01.29.09)
86. davos
rapboy ,   izmir/Turkey   (01.29.09)
erdogan is absolutely rite..
87. it s all about the moderator
frat ,   karsiyaka turkey   (01.29.09)
you are all dumbasses that you still think that its all about turkey-israel erdogan had a right to answer peres after his aggresive speech which was mostly directed to erdogan himself and the fucking moderator kept interrupting erdogan for a stupid dinner. if he just gave him five minutes, none of these events would have happened. how dare you touch a pm in the middle of his speech in such a sensitive debate??? so my point is one can think erdogan is right or peres is right. it does not matter because erdogan's reaction was a result of moderators arrogant behaviour. and i liked his reaction because he was brave enough to tell his real opinion on the issue and how the israeli state keeps killing innocent people. its not all about politics, its about humanity.
88. Tayfun, he had his chance to speak and it is not "israeli
jared ,   orlando   (01.29.09)
aggression" which led to this war and certainly not Israel which bears the overwhelming responsibility for those civilians who were killed. You are lucky in turkey, PKK does not use human shields as coward hamas does. ESpecially given your history which is INFINITELY more bloody, you have no room to talk about humanism and peace....gimme a freakin break...tell that to the Kurds and the Armenians, Your hatred even as you describe it yourself is what shows through and presents yourself as half-blind, and short sighted as your leaders; Ottoturk would roll over in his grave if he knew such an islamist was ruining turkey not strengthening it It has nothing to do with listening, israelis spend an enormous amount of time and effort listening for 2 reasons: one, israelis are all too aware of each actions consequences and how such effects are to be weighed two, israelis are all too aware that the IGNORANCE you display of the nature of this conflict and its realities is pervasive in an easily propagandized and manipulated muslim world. Erdogan ran because it is HE who will not LISTEN nor communicate effectively, not the other way around.... HE didnt like the fact that the given audience could APPRECIATE and RESPECT what PERES had to say regarding the conflict and his half-blind, short-sighted and entirely one-sided view of the conflict would not allow him any open-mindedness or any insight. It is he who was stubborn, it is he who would not listen, and it is he who is clearly afraid to hear out the opposition All are in keeping with an islamist way of thinking. You and your govt would and have done much more if attacked as israel was and MORE so when you were not even attacked.
89. Turkish PM is Right
Scolos ,   Rome Italia   (01.29.09)
Here we must say trues.. think again... who killed babies .. israel..... all of the world wacted tv's.... i read all.. why dont you accept ? you are baby killer israel !!! Erdogan is right and he is braveheart..
90. I am very happy..
Judah Neu ,   Orlando   (01.30.09)
I am very happy to see a president can say the truths to our racist jews bro not to kill the innocent people around the world. Thank you TURKs
