31. #8 Turkish Hakan
VP ,   Germany   (11.04.09)
Only muslims could be proud of hatred. And is it the state of your economy so good that Turks are cleaning the offices in my country? And oh, by the way, we would be more than happy to not see you here as citizens.
32. # 21
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.04.09)
No Israeli in his right mind would visit Turkey. So dont worry about us being attacked or killed there.
33. Turkish Delight
David   (11.05.09)
Neither me nor my family are ever going to Turkey again. I hope the other Jews boycott Turkey as well. Let's vacation in Armenia instead.
34. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.05.09)
Yes, the Turkish economy certainly is blooming. Unfortunately for you, it is blooming rather like a root vegetable, spiraling further downward with each passing day. Read it and weep: http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/jul2009/turk-j07.shtml http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/pdf/2009/springforecasts/cc_turkey_en.pdf http://www.tradingeconomics.com/Economics/GDP-Growth.aspx?Symbol=TRY And now, for the good news. Turkey had hoped to bully Israel by withholding exports of natural gas. In February 2009, however, Israel trumped Turkey's ace with the discovery of what is thought to be the second largest known natural gas field off the coast of Haifa. Well, at least we know the TRUE basis for Turkey's ramped-up hostility towards Israel, which seems to have kicked into high gear in February 2009. Israel's Gaza operation had absolutely nothing to do with it (too easy to counter by pointing out what Turkey has done to Kurdish civilians since 1994). No, it had everything to do with the discovery of that HUGE natural gas field off Haifa. Don't you just HATE when that happens? Read it and plunge into despair, just like the Turkish economy: http://www.oilinisrael.net/oil-in-israel-articles/haifa-gas-discovery-bumped-to-5-trillion-cubic-feet
35. Solomon, the next time your dog takes a dump ...
rnathans00 ,   Washington, USA   (11.05.09)
... at the Turkish ambassador's residence, maybe you should leave an egg as well to remind him that we are a patient people, but our patience has limits. And Israel produces lots of eggs.
36. Turkish economy
Seth   (11.05.09)
While Turkey is on its hand and knees not to Mecca but Western towards the EU, Israelis have raised over 30 times more venture capitol for its own businesses than all of the EU nations! Once the US backs out of Iraq, you are going to come crying back to us for safety but you will receive nothing but the bottom of our shoes to your face.
37. What ! No videos ? Too bad....
SAS ,   Atlanta, USA   (11.05.09)
Why are there no videos to this spectacle ?
38. Yay! Israel has a new enemy, go celebrate!
Ankara, Turkiye   (11.05.09)
Israeli mindset to desperately look for enemy is hilarious. These kids who threw eggs are ultra leftist Kurdish groups at universities which are connected to PKK. Don't you adore PKK and Kurds? You do, so you get the eggs in return. How lovely, isn't it? Oh, also, you might want to check how many Kurdish terrorists were trained in Palestinians camps together with their fellows. Arabs, don't get too excited. We Turks don't trust you at all. You betrayed us and backstabbed us during WW1 and after that by supporting Armenian ASALA terrorists and Kurdish PKK terrorists. Arabs and Israelis, you two do not deserve any better, go enjoy yourselves!
39. Haken, you blew the image of moderate Muslims
AK   (11.05.09)
We have been fed a fairy tail that Muslims can be moderate and civilized living in a secular society, by pointing to you, as an example. Thank God you decided to show your real colors now before being admitted to the EU.
40. #11, Israel is a nation of Jews, that's why.
AK   (11.05.09)
Just like before, anti-Judaism morphed into anti-Semitism, now that anti-Semitism morphed into anti-Zionism. The same old hatred, just different rationalization of the same haters.
41. Hakan, who are you to speak
AK   (11.05.09)
Your nation has been on Byzantine land. You Museums hold ancient artifacts of people you have absolutely no relation to. Your mosques are housed in old churches and cathedrals and your history in the land goes no further than 500 years. No wonder you hate Jews, the true owners coming home and taking over their ancestral land -- after all, you are trying to forget the name of Constantinople and pretend that it always was Istambul.
42. hasan, you're in minority; majority elected Islamist.
AK   (11.05.09)
What are we to think of it?
43. World Citizen, clean your own house, first.
AK   (11.05.09)
Remember about your own glass houses. You have no moral standing to preach morality and ethics to the Jews, not with your track record.
44. to #8 blooming economy???
ghostq   (11.05.09)
so tell me y so many people immigrant to Germany if Turkey economy is so blooming? you live in weird dream.
45. to #10 turkey executed arab leaders during
ghostq   (11.05.09)
the ottoman mandat so this is just proveing that you short memory .
46. #45 Turkey did not even exist...
Nour ,   Palestine   (11.05.09)
When the executions took place. This proves you are totally ignorant. Read a little history. My brother Hakan hails from Modern day Turkey which every progressive Arab of today looks towards with deep admiration. Your attempts to drive us apart is both pathetic and futile.
47. 28
Rosie ,   Israel   (11.05.09)
Thank you
48. TURKEY:MASS KILLER OF 1M ARMENIANS!!!!!!!
andy ,   orlando,u.s   (11.06.09)
49. JEWISH RENNAISSANCE, ISRAEL , CAUSE FEAR TO MANY !
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (11.07.09)
#41.. AK.. THE REAL REASON IS AS YOU SAY QUITE WELL. " No wonder you hate Jews, the true owners coming home and taking over their ancestral land -- "............. JEWS RE-CLAIMING THEIR OWN PROMISED LAND. THE " TRUE JEWISH OWNERS " ARE A STARK CONTRAST AND A HUGE THREAT TO THE RASCIST VIOLATORS WHO ARE IMPOSTERS AND THIEVES. THE IMPOSTERS ARE FEARFUL OF THE JEWS AND CAN ONLY PROTECT THEMSELVES BY SHOWING HATRED AND VIOLENCE TOWARDS THE JEWS. MANY ARE RESENTFUL THAT ISRAEL IS ON THE RISE. THE MOMENTUM FOR JEWS AND ISRAEL ARE STEADILLY RISING AND THE MANIFESTATIONS OF THIS ONGOING EVENT ARE EVIDENT EVERYWHERE IN THE PROMISED LAND. THIS JEWISH RENNAISANCE SCARES AND THREATENS THE " OTHER ONES ".
50. Eggs and shoes...
MK Ultra ,   Cuba   (11.10.09)
Ha ha! This is awesome! I hope the eggs were rotten and they hit the target. This is almost as good as shoes. ROFL. But, of course, the best part is knowing that the world is finally waking up to the fascist-zionist and that pretty soon, they'll have to bury themselves in the sand for fear of the swift justice that will be bestowed upon them. They've ridden the wave for 60+ years but no more! Death to the criminals!
