ghostq   (01.13.10)
and some r realy scared from the sharp turn to religious islam in Turkey, I don't say that to bash anyone I say that cause I know people from Turkey.
32. We do not care EU !
Emre ,   Istanbul   (01.13.10)
We dont care EU anymore.. We have already reached 13.000 $ income per capita a year. So nobody helped us to reach this level. And maybe Israelis do not know that Turkey is the most growing 5 Countries in the world. Every Statistics shows that if we continue like this in 2050 we will be a world power. We have the biggest 16. Economy in the world right now which is 3-4 times bigger than Israel. Who cares EU,
33. Turks are the most provocative and ignorant people to exist
(01.13.10)

Madeleine ,   Israel   (01.13.10)
Socome here and see for yourself. Another anti-Semite prepared to judge us on the strength of vicious blood libels.
35. HOLLYWOOD TO ISRAEL'S RESCUE
Frank-el ,   Detroit USA   (01.13.10)
Not to worry, the fat cats in Hollyweird are now sharpeneing their film knives to further denigrate the Muslim world with a new twist towards villifying Turks. They will also continue to worship all things Jewish in the strangest ways. We are now calling these odd pro-Jewish references and themes in movies as "Jew-mercials". Also watch the "world press" shift towards more anti-Turk propoganda in subtle ways.
36. Emre are you sure nobody helped?
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (01.13.10)
In 1974 after Turkey invaded Cyprus USA imposed an arms embargo to Turkey. This crippled the Turkish economy during the year ahead. The media reported at one time that PM Ecevit complaining that the treasury was in needeven for 1dollar to make payments. 1USD equalled to 1.5 Millon TL and became the subject of jokes at Howard Stern show who was giving away 1 million TL to his guests telling them now you are a Turkish Millionaire. Do you know how Turkey got out of this embargo? Turkish Jews like Jak Kamhi, Uzeyir Garih(Murdered) Silvio Ovadia used their time and money and Israel influenced USA. Every April an Armenian Genocide bill is presented to US congress. If it passes Armenians World Wide will sue turkey for billions of dollars of compensation. Do you know who prevents these bills from passing? Israel is the answer. Don't be like Nasreddin hoca cutting the branch that he is sitting on.
37. Turks should never forget how they got a free ride
Jake   (01.13.10)
due to influential Jews who believed that Turkey was a different kind of Moslem country, a modern secular one and an example for the Moslem world to follow. So, influential Jewish historians like Bernard Lewis wrote a sanitized version of history, making the Turks into the benevolent good guys, and DENYING THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. Jewish organizations and lobby groups, also due to this naieve thinking, helped get the Turks off the hook and lobbied the US Congress not to recognize the Armenian Genocide. This is an immoral stain on our people. Well folks, the tables have turned. While we were busy being naieve and stupid, Turkey did a number on us and stabbed us at the back, aligning itself with the inveterate enemies of Israel and Jewry, launching bitter attacks and blood-libels against Israel, and becoming a breeding ground for the most virulent anti-Semitism. Let this be a lesson for the future, or we won't have a future.
38. David #36, This was an excellent post.
Jake   (01.13.10)
You should send it as an e-mail to the Turkish government.
39. #36 please
Cem Pasha ,   Antalya TURKIYE   (01.13.10)
Dear David, you are missin' something. Of course we are appreciate to these names like Mr.Kamhi or late Mr.Garih. These all are Turkish citizens. We have no problem with Turkish jews actually. We are working with them back to back and collaborated.
40. #36 DEAR DAVID
Emre ,   Istanbul   (01.13.10)
Dear David we always appreciate any Turk for their contribution. But be sure whoever gives to Turkey got more than they give, because we are such a civilization, we dont get without giving. On the other hand Turks are also very hardworking people. You meant that America and some jews have helped us but i know some of Americans and jews helped PKK terror as well. We have spent around 500 billion Dollars for the last 20 years. Who is going to pay that my friend ? To stop or decelerate our growth many countries including Israel,Greece even USA have helped them. I exclude Obama, he is very appreciated by us. Best Regards.
41. israel is aggressive and arrogant war criminal
(01.13.10)
that's why nobody likes israel. israelis killed 1400 people. and it expect to be respected. no way. arrogant child which is nothing without the so called usa.
42. Emre then you shouyld appreciate Israel
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (01.13.10)
Because it was after all Israeli government who put the final pressure to end the Embargo. Mr. Kamhi, Garih, Ovadia and others (BTW Even I played some small role) only facilitated the support of the American Jewish Congress and Israel. And for the PKK: Israel sent its own unmanned Herons to Turkey on a loan with Israeli soldiers to use it against the PKK. Israel provides intelligence to Turkey in the fight against the PKK. Israeli and US intelligence helped the capture of Abdullah Ocalan. And as for payback: The land and properties that were confiscated from my family during Varlik Vergisi are worth millions of dollars today not to mention interest. Since you give more then you take are you ready just to pay back for those. If you do My children would not have to worry to make a living for the rest of their lives. Only one building at Bankalar caddesi near Tunel would be enough. Dear Emre. Neither your side or my side is perfect or the most righteous. Stop preaching Israel or any other nation and concentrate on your own issues which there are many. The last time Turks got involved in world conflicts in a big way was WW I and lost the most of the empire. Learn from history.
43. David
Emre   (01.13.10)
I can understand that you or your family have lived in Turkey. I hope within the laws you can get in time your rights, if you really have them. There is saying that "there is no winning side at wars" my friend. As a person who understands the results of the war, i hope as a smart man you will fight against the war around Israel region as well. My best regards , Shalom
44. Emre - Jews don't like wars
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (01.13.10)
Jews and Israelis do not like wars. In fact In Turkey we used to be called KORKAK YAHUDI for that reason. We prefer to spend our times inventing, science, medicine, arts, philosophy etc. In USA there is a joke about Jews saying that when a Jew wants to hang a picture on the wall he uses a big book to drive the nail. I saw my father doing this many times. However as President Obama said in his Nobel acceptance speech there are times when wars are forced on us to defend our people and ways of life. For Israel this is a matter of existence or no existence at all since it is smaller than Konya with 5 million Jewish population. For 100 million Arabs and over 1 Billion Muslims it is another story. When they are ready for peace Israel will be ready too. After all Israel made peace with Egypt and Jordan.
