31. When saying the UN agrees with the production claim..
William ,   Israel   (01.12.10)
Have they received an official statement from the UN after viewing this episode? My guess is the Turks are extrapolating on what they **think** the UN meant, just like they (along with Arabs) did with UNR242 and other Un rulings. The UN, while endorsing the Goldstone report as "possibly valid", the report still has NO legal basis for the claims. Not necessary say the Arabs care not for facts or law.
32. Did anyone read the story of Red Crescent, Red Magen David?
William ,   Israel   (01.12.10)
It was an interesting article about the inter-group meeting between the Pal Red Crescent, Jordanian Red Crescent, and Magen David Adom. Listening to the "palestinian" representative, you can understand the lack of efforts by the PA govt, but also the great humanitarian work between "Pals" and Israel - something the Arabs and Leftists desparately try to play-down. These truths smack the false accusations and purposeful manipulation by the Turkish producers, and their govt.
33. #6 - Will Turkey make movie about Hamas crimes?
William ,   Israel   (01.12.10)
Despite the fact that Goldstone himself said his report had no real legal basis for his claims, meaning there was mostly conjecture and bias.... if you still assert that Goldstone's report is valid in calling Israel "war criminals"...when will Turkey make a movie about Hamas and their crimes as outlined also in the report?
34. #20 speaking of repeating propaganda
William ,   Israel   (01.12.10)
"British Human rights activists who were bulldozed alive" Really? Which ones? The invasive English who continually send citizens to Israel where they break our laws and take part in violent riots, including those two English Muslims who blew themselves up in Tel Aviv some years ago. The only one claimed to be "bulldozed alive" was Rachel Corey and her ISM buddies at the time admitted fully that the IDF ALWAYS stops for them, and Rachel lost her footing, falling out of sight of the driver. Your countrymen repeat Arab propaganda as if G-d himself brought it to Earth, without even question of the story (many of which have been disproven again and again).
35. #22- Apparently only you fail to realize the truth
William ,   Israel   (01.12.10)
Massacring 1400 people? It was hardly a massacre in Gaza, but even the loosest standards, and what you fail to acknowledge is that over 1000 of those killed in Gaza were Hamas terrorists! Killing armed terrorists is not a war crime, anywhere...but you and your ilk want it to be, when they are targeted by Israel. Perhaps your "war crimes tribunal" should focus on the thousands killed all over the world at the hands of Arab despots, including Kurdistan.

if you want to criticise sarah for her "errors" in history, which are not errors at all, i recommend you brush up on your history, sir. those three british mandate soldiers were hang by the israelis in palestine because THE BRITISH THE DAY BEFORE HUNG 3 HAGANAH JEWS! the haganah responded in kind! hameed aboughaze, iranian
37. Film about Genocidal Turks
Joseph ,   Fort Lauderdale, FL   (01.12.10)
Let's start showing the Turks in a true light. A country of intolerance. Their attempts at genocide against their own minorities. The torture, Illegal prisons, murder of civilians. These Turks need to think of the consequences of their foolhardy actions.
38. Turkey
Sunshine   (01.12.10)
and its people should mind their own business with Armenians and Kurds in their own country before pointing with the finger to Israel. I'm really fed up with all this recriminations from various countries and also the UN. The Palestinians have it in their own hands to build a road to a peaceful future. But if they chose agression and terror they should live with the consequences.
39. #20 Mike the Pike
Marco ,   Spain   (01.12.10)
How dare you insulting cows by referring to Sarah B. as a dopey cow? To all you other dopey cows on this site, the topic of discussion is not Kurds or Armenians, its Israel being called a war criminal by the Turkish producers. They base their statements on facts from a U.N report written by a Zionist Jew called Goldstone.
40. Arabs & Turks
schick max ,   Sion - Switzerland   (01.12.10)
Everyone should read the book from Brigitte Gabriel, a Lebanese woman having suffered years and years under Palestinian rule in her country. She warns about all the Muslims in general. Turks, Arabs, Maleisians & co...they are all non trustworthy and looking for one single thing: destroy the Judeo-Christian civilisation and replace it by the Sharia and their holy book, calling to kill all infidels....and especially the Jews. Erdogan is a devote Muslim who preaches exactly that. When will the Western world finally wake up ? When ?.....
41. Arrogance of Israelis
Roger ,   USA   (01.13.10)
Would any other country in the world be telling another country what shows should not be shown on its TV stations?
42. Roger # 41 the answer is
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (01.13.10)
TURKEY. They protested the TV show 24 for an episode where Turks or Muslims were depicted as terrorists recently and asked it not to be shown. In the past they did the same with the movie Midnight Express and Lawrence of Arabia. Both movies were banned in Turkey. What arrogance ha!
43. #20 Mike the ........
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.13.10)
You should more aptly call yourself Mike the Garbling Prik...then we could take you even less seriously. 'Dopey cow' is far more fitting to you following your inane post and to Marco and his predictable drivel. Sarah B is in a league miles above you. Had you a mere smidgen of her knowledge and intellect, you'd be doing well.
44. Turks and Jews all these comments are made by Armenians
Mark ,   USA   (01.13.10)
to divie and gain benefits out of it so l urge you to not to take this comments seriously, PM s comes and goes but people remains so do nto respond, real enemy of Turks and Jews are armenians and hamas, hezbollah remeber they gain we loose
45. #41 - Are you playing stupid, or really are?
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.13.10)
Of course there are nations in the world who dictate to others what to put on on their media. Arabs are always obsessed with this - to the point of making threats against countries. The Saudis threatened FOX network not to portray the riots in France as "Muslim riot", but "poverty riots". The Iranians went ape about the movie "not without my daughter". Even president Mubarak went ballistic when Israeli comedian Eli Yatzfan made fun of him. And as #42 pointed out, Turkey is also a fine example of that. And there are countless of other examples. Ironically though - these very same Arabs who demand respect from others - are not too keen on giving it in return. How many times have we seen in Arab media, Israeli Prime Ministers depicted as Hitler or Dracula, drinking Palestinian children's blood? How about the recent caricature in an Iranian newspaper, showing Anna Frank in bed with Hitler? Open up your eyes Roger...

Birdi ,   Israel   (01.13.10)
You are at the bottom of the intelect ladder whereas Sarah B is at the top. Her political & world knowledge is far superior to most on this forum. Sarah will outshine you even when you stand in bright sunshine. She has more education than you ever hope to have. Calling a woman a dopey cow is very low, & very bad mannered.I thought you British were taught to respect women.

Birdi ,   Israel   (01.13.10)
The bulldozer attempted to knock down a structure shielding one of the tunnels that ran from Egypt to Gaza in March 2003. Rachel Corrie, a 23 year old British activist placed herself in front of an Israeli bulldozer. She slipped on a mound of dirt & was killed in what the IDF determinded was an accident.
48. # 20
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.13.10)
correction. Rachel Corrie was an American (not British as I stated in my post) member of the International Solidarity Movement.
49. I agree but...
Shlomo Silverstein ,   Maale Adumim, Israel   (01.13.10)
I agree that Israel should have repremanded the Turkish ambassador and that their reaction shows that they are not to be trusted. Any security aliance with them is not worth the paper its written on. However, the British (BBC) series "Spooks" often depicts Mossad as terrorists and Israelis (read Jews) as evil. I don't remember Britain's ambassador to Israel ever being summoned. Double standards?
50. Marco you are a gem, indeed, Richard Goldstone blew the lid.
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (01.13.10)
...on what Israel is up to and it held Palestinian militant groups as guilty of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity as well. Not one sided at all, it did exactly what Israel always said a balanced report was supposed to do, look at both sides. The cows are squealing like stuck pork because Richard Goldstone is a man with an impeccable reputation as a jurist and a Zionist. And they hate that, because that means the word is out, and the big media will now be on the scent. And boy are they...
51. Travel and trade with turkey should be
jason white ,   afula,israel   (01.13.10)
a criminal offense for Israelis with a fine and a year in prison. Cut off all relations with turkey till they come to their senses and dump the present government.
52. TV 'hit parade' a la Turk
Jojo ,   PRT WASH NY   (01.13.10)
The UN approves, the Turks approve, the arabs approve. One big fat , obnoxious family. But what's fair is fair. They do not disapprove teaching little arab children to hate, to kill, suicide (since it's wide spread in their sect, it must be OK). No objections as to honor killing ,being a family affair (private). Hear any UN objections to the stoning women to death lately?(a town square event very popular), or having the notorious gang of mullahs, ayatollahs, imams, exhort their flocks to kill, maim the infidels?,permissible according to their 'odious' koran, blessed by King Abdullah and " understood " by our inept and incompetent modern leaders. In England, they (the thugs) have placards " kill Israel, America " and " You must submit or die " and " we will conquer the world ".All under Elizabeth's benevolent eye. Not to be undone, the rest of Europe is getting a taste of it as well. America ?, well the yankees have voted for a brand new President and that's it. " Que sera, sera ". PS : To commentators. Don't bother to reply to Marco, as he is a reject to thr gods, ALL the gods.
53. DEAR TURKISH PRODUCERS.
Jojo ,   PRT WASH NY   (01.13.10)
War criminals? Isn't killing in a war, in the street, in the home a crime? Of course, Israel is no " match " to your Prowess, your knowledge, your experience in this " noble art ". Your expertise is with millions only: men, women, children, no discrimination. While little Israel is " picky, picky ". Thugs and criminals only are " targeted ". Armenians having being taken care off, are Kurds next ? Any TV show on the subject ?
54. #50 Michael Hess and his Batman, Marco
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.13.10)
The Goldstone Report is based on heresay. There is always collateral damage in warfare and no army in the world goes to the lengths of the IDF to minimise it..sending texts and dropping leaflets etc. There was an incident of a Palestinian doctor's family members being killed through bad communication in the IDF. He worked in Israel, proved his mettle and was well-respected. There are for sure a few other unfortunate incidents. On the whole, the Goldstone Report is a pre-Pallywood production and would never stand in court (by Goldstone's own admission)

we will crash you.Wait...
56. history
burak ,   turkey   (06.02.10)
all are speaking about their history knowledge. One shoud known that history is not same you have learned. history is written by the winner side always. winning does not mean to win the war. you can lose the war but win in years in other aspects. Israel is a country which is being feed with hate. Their end will not last so long. this is for sure. apart from who is claiming against about israel. It should be judged what israel has done. And for the humans israel is guilty from every angle.
