Peres never apaologized to erdogan. All this is a well organized internal propaganda game by the AKP leader who use the islamist feeling of mainstream Turks to boosts its islmist party for the election. Turkey is plunging herself, like before iran, into the abyss of fundamentalism. Where are the secular Turks in all this ?

Peres is kissing this antisemites behind. Enough.

It's time that the Jews: 1. Recognise the Armenian genocide of 1 million 2. Recognise the PKKs legitimate claims for independence.

The hotels aren't going to be very happy after having received cancellations by Israelis.

but this time he spoke the words many people around the world (secular, non-secular, of all races and creeds) wished their leaders would. Just cause Hamas is a terrorist group did not mean you had to stoop to their level and kill innocents. Nothing was solved, and nothing will be, using the methods you used.

poor baby, someone would not let him speak- awwww! he has said plenty of stupid und unfair things already- he feel sorry for children in palestine- good for him- we feel sorry too. We also feel sorry for all the thousands and thousands of murderd Kurdish children, women and men.

Because he can. Because these leaders like Erdogan are completely encompassed in lies to which the world gave credence to! Erdogan is allowed to make those disgustingly haughty and salacious accusations against Israel then return to a hero's welcome because his hate for Jews is glorified across the world!! Because no one ever confronted the Turks as to their genocides. God forbid we even talk about it. They completely got away with it because those they slaughtered were only Kurds. (and others) When it comes to Israel, the tables turn however. All of a sudden every world leader points their fingers in a very sanctimonious demeaning manner with the exact intention of furthering Israel into pariah status because ISRAEL IS A JEWISH STATE. Islamist states fine. NO JEWISH STATE!! That simply sticks in the craw of the entire world even though only few admit it. When lies become truth and truth lies this is what we get. Make no mistake if we were to take to the streets across the world and stop every other person asking them about Turkish genocide they would look at us with astonishment as though we were making up a story. If we asked why no Kurdish state promised since Woodrow Wilson they would think we went insane with such a proclamation. Like Mubarak who aided terror by allowing thousands of weapons tunnels dug which brought slaughter to Jews the world is silent because people like George Bush called Mubarak " a good friend of the U.S and close ally in the war on terror." Who knows now because of the lies. Who is willing to speak? If Israel and the diaspora don't wake up soon we are done for!! History has been remade friends. No one knows truth anymore. We are entering a very dangerous time. The Palestinians all have been whitewashed with buckets upon buckets of gleaming white paint while at the same time we have had our faces washed in shit. (excuse me) We must know what this means and what the consequences are. If we fail to speak complete unvarnished truth in the faces of those who throw their holier than thou shit, we are finished. We see no one is doing this for us. Our supposed friends are weak and refuse real genuine support. We must do it for ourselves. The world is walking us to another kind of oven. The trains already left the station at mach speed. Can't anyone see this? end. Thank you YNET for re posting this lengthy comment.

WITH ALWAYS APPOLOGIZING!!!! Why? Is what you said not the truth.? Should a Jew not stand his ground? Peres, its time to be streight and true. Tell him you are sorry things ended the way they did, but don't apologize for your statements.

...and he was mediating for Israel in the "Jokers" peace talks with Syria, a terrorist sponsor !

two of my children were conceived in Turkey. our trips to turkey have left many pleasant memories, not least of the people who are friendly and good hearted. Turkey has been doing all it can (for its own reasons, of course) to try and create a stable region here. it's a shame our raving little politico felt the need to launch into a tirade, playing into erdogan's hands like a first grade political novice; his alleged phone call does him no honor either. one day the annals of damage by this anal domage will be written. In the past, the Turkish army has seen fit to take over when it felt religious elements were becoming to strong on the political level; we can only hope that that kind of sanity prevails in the future. Unfortunately, the specter of fundamental islam is on the rise wherever it sees the opportunity, and who knows if - by the time they wake up this time - it won't be too late. It's a shame really, because the turkish people deserve better (as do moslem women, children and some men throughout the arab world). I wish hugging turkey closer - by us and the european union - could avert tragedy; i dont know if it can. soon, the terror attacks against tourists in turkey will restart, only this time the damage to that industry will be fatal. next, poverty will set in in a country whose main source of income is tourism. people will get poorer, thus more religious. and iran will have spread further west than anyone wants it too. without doubt, WW III is on its way... at least it'll solve the economic meltdown.

no support.

Erdogan and his friends are called "sons of Moses" by an author writing on Erdogan's Israeli and Jewish connections. Closest businessmen and financial supporters of Erdogan are those who makes business with Israel and they are awarded contracts in Israel.(Calık Owner of Sabah newspaper is supporter of Erdogan and he is awarded some contracts in Israel) Erdogan do not act but just speaks: -Israeli Airforce pilots who airbombed Gaza and killed 1400 innocent- including 500 children. are still trained in Turkey over Konya -Turkey awards contracts to Israeli military equipment suppliers and not severed ties despite Erdogan seemingly spokes against ISrael -Many countries severed diplomatic ties with Israel, Turkey has no intention to do so. Erdogan briefly disclosed his real face when he was asked why he do not sever business ties with Israel he said "it is very easy for an unmarried person(to think it is very easy) to get divorced from a wife" that is a saying in Turkish. Erdogan is just campaigning for his local election to lure some muslim votes without sacrifying money!

won't be a world war, but an israeli war.

Pathetic, but impressive, on a low, cynical level.

The Turks don't deserve our business.

I heard him from TV this morning in the market. I was buying cigarette. The TV was open. for a while I forgot myself watch him and his some words. than I look at the newspapers hard copies. ALL ABOUT DAVOS AND HIM. than I start driving my car to work. on a radio channel two guys were talking discussing about His speech. than I am here my coffee my computer and me. ohh I forget before I open Ynet web I just quickly checked two newspaper of my country about The Davos and him. *** NOW ! I AM GONNA TRY MY BEST TO STAY OUT ALL POLITICS AND TRY TO TALK. NO MATTER FOR WAHT ! NO MATTER WHAT IN HIS HEART ! NO MATTER WHY HE DID GIVE THAT SPEECH ! he pointed true facts. HE DID. WHAT EVER HE SAID WAS EXACTLY ABOUT WHAT IS BEEN THERE. I havent seen any antisemite points ....facism ....unhuman poits. HE REMIND THE ORDER OF TORAH ! DO....NOT... KILL. *** Mr. Peres ! He was just Israel's president there but just president. HE WASNT THERE AS HIMSELF. HE DIDNT TALK ANYTHING FROM HEART. HE DIDNT TALK TO WORLD HEARTS OR SOULS. *** WHERE ISRAEL IS GOING TODAY ? *** see ! world harmed by last gaza attack ! world people feelings harmed by the attack BEYONG ALL POLITICS. *** now NOW ! we have nothing but time. lets see. lets see if something comes good for THE PEACE OF MIDDLE EAST. *** THAT WAR HAS NO POINT WWE CAN STAND FOR.

poor you Erdogan,frighten to realized that Turkey will be part of European union!..modern mosliems appears only in legend or dreams...

Using anti-Semitism & Israel-bashing is a cynical move to further the goal of turning Turkey into an Islamic state. Attaturk must be turning in his grave as he watches his secular experiment go down the tubes.

we don't have to apologie for defending our self against terrorist and erdogan is not pleased with that that's not our problem !! the problem with our leftist leader they is that they care for what the world is going to say or think but the world didn't care when we were burned in europe during ww2 !

what Erdogan would do if rockets were fired at Istanbul every night? Or any other country for that matter... Why should Israel take 1000s of qassams launched at them without responce?????? when other nations in would be more intolerant themselves if it happened to them???? ISRAEL CRITICS your responce please

islamist they won't ask the world to eliminate the threat and make a coup !!

"President Peres, you are older than I am. Maybe you are feeling guilty and that is why you are so strong in your words. You killed people. I remember the children who died on beaches," Erdogan said, through an interpreter. This interpretation is moderated...The actual tone was much harsher.and arrogant.It was a night of shame and there will be severe consequences.as a Jewish citizen I have to criticise Mr Peres.He made a good speech.but that was really fiery and direct to Erdogan. He couldn't have swallowed that.Because Turkey is a mid-eastern country and before the elections, his image would be severly damaged if he hadn't responded harsher..Unfortunatelu people here wants another ahmedinecad.So called the truth teller(!) . Actually erdogan said: "You know well how to kill people" which is pretty rude and out of diplomatic manners.

The clash we are witnessing today between Hamas and Israel is not about religion at all or any clash civilization, it is a clash between two opposite ,between two eras ,it is a clash between a mentality that belongs to the middle ages and another mentality that belongs to the 21st century, it is a clash between civilization & backwardness, between civilization and primitive, between barbarity & rationality, it is a clash between freedom and oppression, between democracy & dictatorship, between human rights On one hand & the violation of these rights, it is a clash between those who treat woman's, gays & lesbian's like beasts & those who treat them like human beings…what we see recently is not a clash of civilizations, civilization do not fight but compete. I would not say that all Muslims are terrorists but all the terrorists are indeed Muslims. Muslims are ones who began clash on civilizations. The Muslims prophet said :"I was ordered to fight the people until they believe in Alla(their GOD) & his messenger" when Muslims divided the people into Muslims and non-Muslims and called to fight the others until they believe in what themselves believe. In order to stop this war they must reexamine their Islamic books and curricula which are full of calls for fighting the infidels. What we face on is this earth allow them to call another people by names, Jews, Christians and other nations in their eyes are apes & pigs… We are recognized already the danger and we must defend our democracy, freedom, rights & values in order to survive no matter how and what. What most is I concern about is you in Europe refuse to believe that war will arrive in your front door, I am not apocalyptic but indeed realistic we feel that every hour every minuet. in last 10 years these darkness people arriving from Middle east and not trying to assimilate among the European society unless to change it. It's never late to become sober.62 years ago the monster from Germany showed to the world how democracy can be so devastating and cruel, this monster was elected by democracy election and he exploit democracy against it,8 years later we were decided to live in peace with Europe for our mutual benefits this way we were able to establish a modern country that sharing with entire world the most sophisticated technology & prosperity. Books that we reading & writing how to carry out this dream is in those people access but they choose to read and learning how to fight against "heretics". I will defend our democracy to the death but democracies must defend themselves otherwise morbid leaders like Iranians president will realize his devastating vision.

Peres should resign now. There was no reason for him to apologize. What he originally said was absolutely correct, and if Erdogan walked out in a huff, that's just too bad. We need a President and a government with courage.

Turkey would give up the siege imposed on Kurdstan for more than two years.

list

that is why he wellcomed warmly, I believe. OUR HEARTS HARMED BY ISRAEL SO MUCH. MOSQUES DESTROYED. AND THE INNOCENTS. THAT WAS BEYOND ALL BAD THINGS. *** AND WE STILL DONT KNOW WHAT CHEMICALS USED ON PEOPLE.
