Anon ,   Johannesburg   (09.27.09)
How i wish the rest of the world had to fight terror, from civilian homes, monkeys hiding behind children. If it means that i can live, i do not mind if all the Pal will perish. Its self defence, and the world is too stupid, or to antisemitic to say anything> The Jews will never go to the slaghter agin. London, Paris and Johannesburg etc will burn before that ever happens again. If we go down, the world will go down with us. Armagedon Ek Se'

Bruria ,   Haifa   (09.27.09)
Someone should tell that dolt that it was a war--war is ugly and people get killed. What a farce that Turkey still refuses to admit their own genocide and is now pointing fingers at us!

(09.27.09)
i really believe that you must consider the armenian massacre, attoning for it and having your govern,ent persecuted in the hague for the crime of turkey murdering, dispossesing, exiling and slaughtering one million armenians. don;t you think that one million slaughtered by turkey warrantes a judgement and persecution in the hague??? and if it too late for that...statute of limitation, considering......then surely, you must be held accountable to the murder of thousands of pkk kurds that do to your country and terrorise your country as the hamas do to israel. what is the difference between hamas and you pkk terrorist which you bomb and kill constantly. should not your governm,ent be held responsible for their murder????? hameed aboughaze, iranian

Turk ,   Ankara   (09.27.09)

9. The new Ottomans... Ungrateful hypocrites...
william ,   Seattle, Wa, USA   (09.27.09)
The Mossad made a grave mistake by handing them their sworn enemy and Kurdish rebel, Abdullah Ocalan, over whom they almost went to war with Syria that harbored him and his fighters in Lebanon... And look how do these ungrateful shmucks repay Israel... Let us not forget the modernization of most of their military arsenal, particularly their military jets, which saved them billions of dollars when which Uncle Sam slowed down his military equipment sales to their army…

never mind the armenia genocide which the turks murdered and starved and exiled one million aremenians the past century. but, they are doing to the kurds what they did to the armenians on a daily basis. they bomb their villages, kill the kurds who rebel against them....calling it turky's fight against terror. what do they think hamas is, if not our pkk terrorist, how come this dolt erdogan has a right to fight terror, but israel doesn't. the minimization, the constant derision, the constant killing and bombing and the constant humiliation and repression of kurds in turkey is astounding and no one brings them to the hague. i wonder why? could it be for the reason that they are not israel or jews??? you figure it out. what a hypocrite erdogan is. also, it is about time the usa and israel recognize the armenian genocide (one million) as a genocide, no matter how much the turks fight this stain in their history. let's do it. let's bring them up on these verified charges. let the world force on turkey the recognition of their armenian genocide and the continuous genocide and repression of the kurds nowadays in turkey. turkey constantly bombs their villages and what they call "kurdish terrorists", killing thousands of them throughout the years....no one says a peep. not a single un sanction or resolution against this blatant murder. how is their pkk any different in terrorism or in terrorists than hamas is. are they allowed to kill their terrorist, but israel is not? does turkey have any more legitimacy in killing its terrorists, but israel doesn't??? are jews and israelis to have their hands tied behind their backs with "international sanctions" so that they have no right to defend their country? what hypocrisy. blatant at that too. hameed aboughaze, iranian
11. Turkey wants UN body to discuss Gaza 'war crimes'
Yonatan ,   Jerusalem   (09.27.09)
Israel is on it's knees begging the arabs and all muslims for forgiveness please stop saying all those bad things about us we can't take it anymore we are all so very sorry please forgive us we all love you thank you so much
12. UN assembly must move to Istanbul Turkey-Best Place in World
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (09.27.09)
Erdogan's approach showed how Turkey act impartial between Israel, zionist war criminals and Hamas, representetives of oppressed Palestinian people who may resort to some methods not correct but they were obliged to as they are hopeless against USA supported war machine of Israel. As for Accusations to Turkey: Turkey never air bombs civilian settlements, Turkish army will rather prefer lose thousands of its soldiers and operate face to face than simply bombing a terrorist region full of civilians. That is because Turkish army sees surrounding Kurdis civillians as its nationals, brothers, children. So for Turkish army there are no difference between Kurdish children and Turkish children because Turkish army does not discriminate their ethnical roots, THEY ARE ALL TURKS for US even those KILLID DURING OPERATION, Lost number of 35000 for last 20 years included 6000 Turkish security forces, 29000 Turkish nationals including all Kurdish people. Turkish army counts Kurdish losses and Turkish losses as its losses and does not discriminate. Turkish army does not use human shields as IDF did in Gazza war putting palestinian children in front of their tanks. Turkish army opens his chest against terrorist rather than hiding behind civilian shields. TURKISH ARMY ARE FULL OF HEROS You cannot compare Turkish army to IDF or any other army in world Turkey and Istanbul is ready to guest UN as it proved USA is unsustainable place for Diplomats.
13. Hamas continues to launch rockets today...
(09.27.09)
But you call for the listing of the embargo... Lets call it what it is, a lynching...
14. War Criminals
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.27.09)
Are those who sat back and did nothing while Israeli communities were bombarded by kassam rockets and bombs. Erdogan would never have put up with this terror from Hamas. He would have responded with unequivocal force much sooner than Israel. Disgusting hypocrisy!!!
15. This man puts himself forward as an unbiased negotiator?
rebecca ,   modiin   (09.27.09)
He and the world are just rediculous.
16. #6 My daughter works in a hotel in Israel.
vered ,   israel   (09.27.09)
Israelis are bad tourists, but so are the French and other Europeans staying there. Only Scandinavians and a handful of American tourists are okay. By the way, it is the Turks, the English and the French who cooked this terrible mess in the Middle East. I would say let them fix it, but it is too late for that; but at least, they should stop causing more harm.
17. @8, Turk, Ankara
German ,   Germany   (09.27.09)
Turk, please do NOT come to Germany either for staying nor for vacation. Nobody has asked you and your fellow brethtren to come and to stay. We're fed up with your cheating at every corner, lying on that on every occasion and murdering amongst yourself. And, please, start dealing with your own history and the present like civilized people and not a bunch of clowns. People here start realising, what are the Israelis dealing with.
18. To. Tayfun Turkey , Istanbul
mami ,   Ma kora   (09.27.09)
If Kurds fought behing children like the Hamas, then you would have to fight back to protect yourself (Fact) But the Kurds unlike Hamas have value for human life and will never use Children, schools or UN buildings like Hamas. you make me laugh, We, Israel, used Pal Kids as human shields!!! you are mad my friend, the day Israel does something like that is the day the Governmnet falls. lies are told all the time, being on the ground i can promise you we would never do such things. Unlike Hamas, that uses children as human shields, we have no alternative but to protect ourselves. Hamas will use anything to try and win somekind of political settelment. If Hamas were not so scared to face Israel like a normal country, they would not hide in Schools and UN buildings. The IDF is a great Army... Probably one of the best in the world - Def one of the most educated. The Turk Army is good, but that is only because Israel and the west back you guys so much. American money, European help, and Israeli High Tech is the stuff that makes Turkey strong. Terrorism is a diffrent war - Turkey would have no clue how to fight this one
19. Number 12
Martin ,   NY, NY, USA   (09.27.09)
You can have the UN, Plz take it away from New York. We dont want this Arab league here in America. PS Turkey is great because of the West's help to make it first world. You guys have hero's In the Turk army??? how holywoodish of you! Israel does not use human shields. Terrorist like Hamas, Hizbolla and other terrorist organisations use civilians, because they have no other way to fight a superior army. Lastly if you want the UN you can have it, But the 5 billion dollars it costs the American Tax payers you must fork out now. Israel was first to help Turkey during earthquakes, floods... i have no idea why they did, and are still helping you guys. Long live Freedom, Freedom from 3rd world backward rule
20. @Tayfun_Turkey, Abe you said well and correct
Hasan ,   Казань-قازان ,РОССИЯ   (09.27.09)
Every nation must forget and give up war crimes, this is 21th century, no place for such behaving. Who wants fight, I support let him fight as a man but not cowardly bombing civil settlements and towns
21. Mr Turk-At least Israelis stealing only Spoons&Towels
Alan ,   SA   (09.27.09)
Your Palestinians friends leaders stealing billions$$$ from EU and USA to put in Swiss Banks. Turks should remember poor Armenian Holocaust!
22. Erdogan&Gul-Another 2 guys who Olmert promised something
Alan ,   SA   (09.27.09)
23. TURKISH CRIMES
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.27.09)
And just how many Armenians did the holier-than-thou Turks murder?? how many millions?? Turkish turds in glass houses...
24. To 18,19 Follow Ynetnews Photos as proof
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (09.27.09)
Ynetnews published Photograph Israeli "Defence" forces using Palestinian children in front of their vehicles as humas Shields. I read and follow Ynetnews and saw photographed article, everybody know except for you that IDF uses palestinian children as human shield in front of their tanks because they are afraid of Hamas even in armoured tanks As for 5 billion payment to UN, we will not pay a cent to UN for this, each country should pay contribution and obviously USA and those having veto power over others abusing UN like their own institution should pay excessive costs! You should pay Turkey not vice verca.
25. Answer to tayfun # 7

Bana Allah'siz diyenin kendisi Musluman olsa bari ( turkish proverb). First do clean out of your door, then you'll be entitled to give advices, forward to his excellency T.E
26. pleace turkey, what about kurds
shahyad   (09.27.09)
What about all the crimes against the kurdish people, and still today u are denying them any rights. the war crimes against the kurds in the middle east against over 45 milion kurds , turkey, iran, syria should keep their mouth closed before someone take up the kurdish question, Im sure they wouldnt have anything to say, because they realy wouldnt. but no one has said it officialy yet, so we are waiting for that.
27. What is sickening is that Israelis STILL go to Turkey!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (09.27.09)
You can rant and rave about Turkey, Erdogan and the remarks about Israelis made by the likings of #8, Turk, Ankara, but he disgrace is that Israelis still go to Antalya and other resorts in Turkey! Do we have no national pride? I know of many Israelis who won't go to Egypt and Jordan as they know that no matter what their governments say, we are not really welcome there although our money is! Turkey has become a "hostile country" and Israel should consider closing our air routes to and from Turkey and even breaking off diplomatic ties. Israel is a democracy and we do not have the right to prevent Israelis from going anywhere but we do NOT have to provide flights to and from Turkey. You want to go to Antalya then fly to Europe and then to Turkey but at your own risk and don't expect us to help you if you get into trouble!
28. turkish tourists

aGermany to sell the original in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin's Tiergarten back to you? How are you going to get Satan and his unholy power back to Turkey unless you blow up the Altar of Zeus in Berlin? Why should the devil want a replica when he has the original? You should tremble Mr. Erdogan when you consider that judgment for the destruction of the Second Temple is coming that has been long delayed. Judgment on Turkey? That is what some scholars believe since the Roman General used troops who were recruited from the area of present day Turkey to attack Jerusalem in 70 A.D. (ce). The destruction of Babylon for destroying the First Temple in Jerusalem will be that the land of the Chaldeans (Iraq) will become uninhabitable forever. That is happening from depleted uranium bunker busting bombs. That radioactive isomer has a half life of 10,000 years. There is a lot of cancer in Iraq and a lot of birth defects and it will not get any better until the people there realize that land is uninhabitable forever if you want a quality of life. Iran is about to learn that awful lesson. Is Turkey next? If Turkey is Togormah in Ezekiel chapter 38, Turkey will lose almost all its invading forces when they attack Israel in a coalition. Want to see what happens when the God of the Jews gets angry? He will destroy your forces will an earthquake and a plague that melts the eyes before the people hit the ground. Read the Christian Bible, especially the Hebraic Roots Version from Messianic Jewish Rabbi Michael Rood's website. Read it in the Authorized King James translation of the Bible. You are heading Turkey for ruin unless you stop attacking the Jews and leave Israel alone and give back Jerusalem to the Jews as well as other territory God gave them. Take in Palestinians instead of whining about Gaza. Those people are going to die from God's own hand the Prophet Zephaniah says. That sounds like a tsunami or an earthquake. The reason? Dividing God's land He gave to the Jews and robbing the Jews and attacking them. Pull the Palestinians out of Israel and Gaza if you want peace.
