It doesn't. So who's agitating these jerk Turks? The only way Turkey is connected is by way of the ummah- the global Islamic family. In this case, the 'family' is in danger of having more Israelis in the 'heart' of Islam- something that cannot be allowed- it's one of the pillars of jihad. The fact that the noise is coming from Turkey, a 'moderate' (ha!) country is very disturbing.

Turks need to face up to their Nazi genocide of the Armenian people before even dreaming of criticizing Israel. I urge everyone to organize an anti-turkish rally until they recognize their war crimes, which are exponentially worse than Israel has or ever will commit.

Stop appeasing these turks. They are your enemies.

The image of the news isn't from Istanbul, unless Arabs built another Al-Aqsa in Istanbul ? As a Turk, I really don't understand, why the heck anybody (including Turkish protesters) would care about a foreign country's expansion plans ? Especially when Turkey did and is still doing the same thing in Northern Cyprus ? It's pure ignorance and anti-Semitism...

to the israeli tourists. have a great vacation in turkey, israelis... well i'm not going there anymore. burn our flags? please, how old are we. now the turks fell deep to the terrorist's levels, burning flags, throwing rocks, could it be a flu maybe? some flu that no one has discovered yet? the anti-semite-flu...?

Don´t worry dear Israelis, these crazy people are against the Turkish state too. They would like to establich an Islamic state but won´t reach their goal.

WHEN TURKEY SHALL REURN ALEXANDRETTA TO SYRIA ,PERHAPS THEN I SHALL THINK ABOUT THE TURKISH PROTEST

Protests started after Friday prayers... the religion of peace.

Karma is a "b--tch": "What goes around, comes around." We all know the jist of it; just watch, Turkey will experience a massive earthquake that will shut them up for quite a while. Anti-semitic basterds!!!

International relations is exchanges mutual interests and benefits but Neither Israel nor USA has any bargaining chip to offer to Turkey Take Israel, it is very funny frequenty I read here ISRAELI TOURIST to Turkey. Israeli excursions to EVEN USA fell more than 30% due to economic crisis developing under the surface. In fact Israel has not significat number of Tourist to be considered in international relations. Israel has no other advantage to offer to Turkey, They do not buy anything from Turkey see Turkish Israeli export import figures. NO GOOD FOR TURKEY. The same for USA, therefore USA'on behalf of Israel) started to arouse TROUBLE with Armenian issue. So they just intimidate Turkey in the lack of any bargaining chip to offer to Turkey as they have nothing worth valuable consideration in their hand. This appoach is the same as Gangasters' who offer protection to people, when they object that they had no treat to afraid and seek protection, Gangasters offer protection from themselve if they do not pay they will be danger themselves for protected person. AS gangsters cannot dominate world, we are now on the verge of immediate collapse of USA-ISRAELI world domination.

Turkey have threatened to expell 100000 Armanian. The free world must organise demonstration against this unjustified behaviour

Radical Turkish Islamists have been organizing nightly programs in cities across Turkey under the slogan, “A free Al-Quds [the Muslim term for Jerusalem], A world without Israel.” The halls are decked out with photos of Hizbullah Chief Hassan Nasrallah and former Hamas Chief Ahmed Yassin. PLO flags are draped over the speaker’s podium. At the events, Hamas and Hizbullah are glorified as Israel and Western countries demonized, and jihadist speeches are delivered. Participants are offered the chance to donate to the groups or even to enroll in training to join them in their terrorist operations. Similar events are frequently held in the mainly Kurdish southeast and east of the country, with huge audiences turning out as efforts are increased to indoctrinate those populations.

fighter jets that no other country would do? And other defense equipment that Turkey buys from Israel like the Heron unmanned aircraft etc. But most importantly.... If Mr Davutoglu is sincere about friendly relationship with all countries in the neighborhood, well Israel is in that neighborhood.

There are only about 15 million Jews in the entire world that makes about 1% of the world population. If you are really believing that they intend to dominate the world I recommendt that you visit the MAZHAR OSMAN facilities in Bakirkoy. Neither Israel nor USA follow doctrines similar to the Turkish one called TURANCILIK of expansion. Ottoman empire once tried to dominate the world but could not do it.

On the streets of occupied Constantinople any human being should protest the past genocide of Armenians and the current genocides of Kurds, Cypriots and Greeks by Turks. As it turns out Turkish invaders of Asia Minor and Byzantium lands are not human beings.

She cannot dominate even her own backyard. FREEDOM TO INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN IS REAL! IT WILL HAPPEN IN 20 YEARS! IT WILL BECOME THE LARGEST NON-VIOLENT COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE EAST! IT WILL BE COMPRISED OF HALF TURKEY, HALF IRAN, HALF IRAQ AND HALF SYRIA! VIVA FREE KURDISTAN! TO HELL WITH TURKEY!

IF ANY ISRAELI GOES ON THEIR VACATION TO TURKEY THIS YEAR , THEY NEED THEIR HEAD EXAMINIED,THE HATRED OF JEWS IN TURKEY IS THROUGHOUT THEIR SOCIETY,EVEN JEWISH MERCHANTS THAT I KNOW NOT EVEN FROM ISRAEL BUT FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE BEEN LEAVING TURKEY THESE LAST FEW MONTHS BECAUSE OF THE HATRED AND GOVERNMENT INSPECTERS WHO ARE MAKING THEIR LIVES UNBEARABLE,UNION CERTIFICATION PERMITS WHICH DONT EVEN EXIST THERE ARE BEING ASKED FROM THE JEWISH SOUNDING NAMES,ITS TIME THAT WE ALL LEAVE THIS ANTI SEMITIC, ANTI ISRAEL COUNTRY, THEY HAVE ARRESTED DOZEN TURKISH GENERAS THE LAST 2 WEEKS FROM ACTIONS 7 YEARS AGO AND THE ONLY THINGS YOU READ IN THE LOCAL PRESS IS THE HATRED OF ISRAEL,ITS TIME TO CLOSE UP SHOP THERE FOR THE JEWS.

Turks are like the arabs; mobs, insults, screams, pantomime(dress, flags, signs, etc.). Without the acquiescence of the Govt, it could never happen. Crushing the Kurds, stealing 1/2 Cyprus (same excuse Nazis had for Alsace Lorraine), denying the Armenian massacre, does make them expert in the muslim world I suppose. Unfortunately, Israelis are stupid enough for subsidising them for their rejection of our country.

It looks like Turkey took some time out from their "We hate the Armenians" fest, to make sure that we didn't forget that they also have a "We hate the Jews" fest. And, here I thought that Islam was the "religion of peace". You Turks need to know something. When the Messiah returns to judge the world, he is not going to be the mild teddy bear he was almost 2000 years ago. He's going to crush His enemies, and throw them into the lake of fire. Oh, by the way, His enemies, and Israel's enemies are the same thing.

It is a fact that some Turks who post here are just anti-Semites and trying to get into the nerves of Israelis. I guess Tayfun is the best example to that. However Turkey is not made only of Tayfuns. There is a well educated secular and modern Turkish society. While they too may be critical of some Israeli actions - some with merit some not - they are people of common sense and friends of Israel and the modern western civilization. For Israelis the goal is to embrace that part of the Turkish society and build bridges instead of widening the gap. in fact building bridges is to the benefits of both countries. This is not to say that we should not reply to those who unfairly attack Israel - like Tayfun - but I think we should do it by using straight facts and with much diplomacy. Just because he does not use facts and diplomacy should not turn us to one like him. The bottom line is in the community of nations the more friends you have the stronger you are.

Why no-one insist on correcting the media that it is NORTH Jerusalem and NOT EAST Jerusalem

A few hundred Muslim Brotherhood demonstrating shows the movement in Turkey is nothing. It shows most Turks don't want anything to do with the crazies. The government is pandering to these cretins ... let 'em. They will be voted out or thrown out soon enough. Islamism in Turkey is a loser idea. Turkey has evolved beyond this.

were on the verge of becoming a modern progressive muslim country but that regressive gene just can't be supressed and so they are destined to be on the dung heap of all the other backwardl,ignorant, hateful, violent islamic countries. as frank zappa said "do you know what you are-you are what you is-you is what you am- a cow don't make ham" they are what they is!

Jerusalem is the only holy city the jews ever had in their history. We will never give a square meter of it to the palestinians. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and it must remain individed, exactly as Obama said before his election.

You have no idea how many Israelis went and are still going to Turkey on vacations. For your information tourism is one of the best way for a country to make money. But you know, until your new islamic president Ergogan, israelis were welcome in your country, we were friends and had good relashionship . today that president spread islamic hate to all of you and we start to become enemies little by little. An Islamic fanatic govenment is the worst thing can happen to a country.

Tell the whole story. Educate readers. The second half of this issue is that for the last few years, the Saudis have poured tens of millions into Turkey as a means to counter the secular government.
