let's face it.. in order to remain relveant to the world turkey must show the arabs/moslems that they are their side..... turkey has a tainted history with massacaring the kurds, the albanians and the greeks.. they are the last to patronize israel.....

there's nothing really to talk about. Iranian ahmadinejad awards Kunter, spaniards want to jail top israeli generals, hamas rips out eyes and the world condemns israel. Well, world, you are either witht he death cult of hamas, hezbollah and iran or you are with us. You decide. In the meantime, no withdrawals like the moron olmert has proposed, get your guns ready. And to the consitutional court of turkey, this is your last chance, remove erdogan.

We just watched a very bad example of diplomacy. Both Erdogan's and Peres's behaviours were unacceptable in the world of diplomacy. Peres only talked to Erdogan rather than to audience and pointed his finger at Erdogan, this was terrible and embarrassing. I was surprised to watch Peres losing his temper and behaving as an angry kid. He is an experienced politician and this was one of his worst behaviours. Erdogan, once again, acted for the street keeping an eye on the coming elections in Turkey and Arab public opinion. But, this is not a place for that, foreign policy and diplomacy are sensitive issues and Erdogan made a big mistake confusing that.

hamas is not terorist group like pkk.they want to save own country but israel is a killer.israel we you want to occupy Arz-ı Mevud but you are never...

erdogan is the best PM he is going the right was.LIVE THE ISLAM!!!!!

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan doen't seem to mind that people getting kild if they are Kurds. But they don't seem to think of Kurd as people. Maybe he should think about the old saying "people in glas houses shouldn't through stones".

Boycott Turkey. Let the Arabs spend their money there!

for these re just the truth..

People come and go... Just like Ismet Inonu who refused harboring STRUMA (24 FEB. 1942 sunk-torpidoed either the by NAZI's or SOVIET'S) So hopefully the governing style of erdogan and his party akp will eventually fade away too... Than normal relations between Israel and Turkey will be established once again.

that is almost half of the entire jewish population in the world today how many arabs are there? do you want to tell me we killed half of the entire arab population? you don't know what jenocide is

see? u can't lie anymore..nobody believes you after all... Peres was sitting at that moment as guilty..he couldn't decide to where to put his hands .. i don't write theese because of Erdoğan is Turk..whoever would react like that i would be proud of him..he was just right and brave to do this..

Thank you mr erdogan.I love you

the pals are Arabs and of arab decent, there has never been a pal civilization, a pal language, a specific pal religion, a recognized pal culture, nor a pal country. Period. Second, thank goodness there are less israeli deaths from hamas rockets, BUT certainly NOT for lack of trying to kill as many Jews as possible. Their ATTEMPTS TO KILL israelis make the israeli actions look tame by comparison. Just because their rockets are not accurate and thank G-d they are not as tools of terror, does not mean they have not been attempts many thousands of times over to kill indiscriminantly (unlike israel) many thousands of times over. Rest assured, if they had more accurate weapons and more powerfull they would use them against all israelis and without provocation. That is because those with whom you sympathize have been and always have made their decisions based not on a love of their own but rather a hatred of israel, an all consuming desire to destroy it and replace it with only their state. You cant negotiate with people who only seek your destruction. NExt, terror, not just preceded, but LONG preceded "occupation" The pals enacting violence of the jews long preceded occupation. Third, How many israelis have died you ask? Well if you mean by the hands of combined pal terror, many hundreds (with thousands injured) over the years. Fourth, that is to say nothing of the more than 3 full scale attempts by the ARab world with full pal support /action to annihilate israel, resulting in thousands of deaths. Fifth, the saddest part is if the pals dedicated just a little less energy away from hatred, and a little more toward building a country rather than bomb vests, they would have had what no pal has had before, a nation. And ISRAEL would have LOVED to have that many times over. Sixth, with your countrys rich history of causing death and destruction , you have no business criticizing. If shells and rockets and suicide attacks (Still on a daily basis mind you attempted just not successful) were levied against Turkey you would do the same if not worse, just as the Jordanians did to the PAls in 1970 and the Lebanese did to the pal refugee camps a number of times in the last two decades. Quit the BS Seventh, you are lucky the PKK does not use human shields as the cowards hamas do. Then we would see how your country behaves and speaks Eighth, Hamas caused this war, following the ceasefire and whats more the educated world knows it. They bear the responsibility largely for its consequence as do the people who elected terrorist to power and gave them the opportunity to seize the power the were not given by elections. Ninth, Do you really think israel wants to harm pals? ASk yourself what israel thinks it has to gain from such thinking? Nothing good is the answer. Therefore they must have to have damn good reason to pursue a military response to those who make war and then cry about it (and renounce all responsibility for it) TEn, if hamas renounce violence tomorrow and terror, and actually did what they should have done with the pullout in 2005 (ie a tremendous israeli first step) and truly embrace building their country instead of trying to destroy another, then israel has no need for violence. HOWEVER, if israel renounces any use of violence tomorrow, the attacks by a hate consumed large population of pals do NOT stop, EVER.

Erdogan seems to forget that Turkey has killed thousands of Kurdish over the last years. I guess Kurdish blood is not as important for him as Palestnian.

Turkish people started to focus on Palestine. You zionists let us to remember our history, our historical duties. We are responsible of Kudus (Jerusalem), we are responsible of all poor but brave people of Palestine. How many of you can behave as brave as a stone throwing boy of 14 years old. Turkish people's attantion turned to Palestine. Nothing will be the same. You zionists, you don't know the power of Turks, but you will have opportunity to realise it soon.

64. Salvador What a funny man you are ! "IRAQ-stop Turkey to attackt your land" Does Iraq has any land ? It is invaded by usa illegally. Don't you know that ? Pardon, I understand you, you are from such a wonderful country where the lowest IQ man can become president.

Turkey may seem a treacherous place for Israelis nowadays, thanks to our PM... As long as you feel safe away from Turkey do not come, but once these fundamentalists are gone out of the picture you are always welcome. At least you have the luxury of not being here during this akp-minded governance is in place. You should feel sorry for people like me not hate us all. Adonai Elohenu, Adonai Ehod Shalom and Lahitrahot...

Turks showed their true colors. Just look at this video where turks are calling for a new Hitler to "Take care of Jews". Just watch and then decide..You will be shocked!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vItnzfCTaM4&feature=related

1. Armenian genocide: millions of innocent people slaughtered, Turkey never issued any kind of a apology; 2. Kurds persecutions: every kind of human right one can think of was violated throughout the decades-long Turkish repression ot the legitimate aspirations of the Kurds; 3. Greek massacres: right after WWI, Turks decimates tens of thousands of ethnic Greeks; especially famous was the killings at Smyrna. For further info, read the classic Eric Ambler novel called 'A coffin for Dimitrios'. Still having doubts about Turkish double standards and chutzpah? Watch Alan Parker's 'Midnight Express' and see for yourself what means to be under Turkish jurisdiction...

If Muslims don't like retaliation then they shouldn't attack Jews. In war there are unwanted civilian casualties. The difference is the Jewish civilian casualties are not unwanted. They are cause for Muslims to hand out candies. Then they go shout about Muslim casualties.

i don't like erdogan and his attitude but he was right this time. and there is no such thing as armenian genocide or slaughtering kurds. at these years(1. world war) there weren't even 1.5 million armenians in turkey.please learn some history. and peres asked that what would you do if they were bombing istanbul. a kurdish terrorist group is already bombing istanbul and some other cities of turkey and the government kills "only" the terrorists in N. Iraq, not civilians. even if we were killing them this wouldn't make what you are doing in gaza right.

and then cry why were you hurt. it is not israel that put gazan civilians on top of explosives it is gazan common practice to hide weapons under houses, explosives, munitions in general, all under residential and public ares

The Guardian, Thursday 25 October 2007: Article history: "Turkish warplanes and helicopter gunships reportedly attacked Kurdish rebel positions just inside the Turkish border with Iraq..." The Turkish PM's hypocrisy is unforgivable bigotry—to suppose that Israel ought to be a sitting duck for hamas—he's no friend of Israel. I just wish Israel had finished hamas off to the last terrorist. Damned if you do and damned if you don't'—might as well go all the way.

"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? " so,didn't they?where do you live and what do you watch,read?
