1. More garbage from our FM
Avi ,   Israel   (04.06.10)
As if anything Liberman has to say is taken seriously in diplomatic circles. How is the police investigation in to his criminal activty going, can we expect another cover up?
2. Wheathered Pharaoh by running away from him
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (04.06.10)
And you can also now weather this period by running away from Middle East leaving occupied land. As for Erdogan he is not turning to either of them, there is a near election in Turkey and Erdogan just tries to collect Muslim votes by speaking out against Israel Erdogan does not take any concrete action against Israel but only speaks, for Example Mauritania severed all ties with Israel but Turkey do not sever ties with Israel.
3. Once again, Lieberman is right; keep it simple stupid!!

simsim   (04.06.10)
sure turky is not moritania at least turky is not an arab state but sure the problem is --all of the arabs are wishing that their leaders is turning to erdogan ..if you think that erdogan do it for the election only so why the arab do not do it for the election ..i think democracy is presented in turky more than in any arab state and more than the blind democracy of israil
6. Lieberman speaking like a true Russian Bouncer
David ,   USA   (04.06.10)
Lieberman is nothing but a belligerent thug who is ruining Israel's standing in the World. Unfortunately, the more he takes his ultra-nationalist rhetoric, the more popular he becomes among Israelis. There is an ugly hard-line shift going on in Israel, and it will not end well for the country.
7. thank you, on holloween
ghostq   (04.06.10)
it will be good idea for costume, Avi if you only knew how this clown works you would not be so supportive, my neive friend, he just diverting cause he embezzle in Turkey tax money. ever since the beginning of his term he is taking some sums of money, trust me when I tell you Israelis politicians r such petty theives compare of what he is doing.
8. to #2 the offsprings of Moses r Israelis
ghostq   (04.06.10)
they belong in Israel, arabs back then didn't existed, since it was 3300 years ago, but you will find it shocking that the German tribes were in Israel, since Jericho was habitat by german tribe. Gideon spies story is amazing though. and as for Turkey you part of Nato, you killed arabs before, one famous was Dar el omar, you got long history of that. so give it a rest, you did much worse to arabs along the years.
9. unbelievable, that a FM (!) says such things...
eporue ,   europe   (04.06.10)
your FM sounds like some bully on an internet forum ... is this really necessary ? hart words - yes, anytime, but chose them wisely... to put a tense reply with diplomatic words is the art of the job...no, its a basic skill... this deluded crew is throwing israel to the dogs...
10. Lieberman and Gaddafi are Middle East jokes
Salma ,   Palestine   (04.06.10)
Mr. Lieberman not find analogy of Erdogan better than Gaddafi?!!!
11. Actually Erdogan worse than Ghadaffi!
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (04.06.10)
Mr. Erdogan is slowly but surely making Turkey a true islamic country once again. Gone are soon the days of the secular Turkey that we have learned to know. Ghadaffi in comparison is not that big a threat to anyone outside Libya (today).
12. Lieberman
tz   (04.06.10)
The talkbacks are so sad. I guess people don't like straight talk. Really sad!
13. Bravo, Avigdor! We love and trust you!
Inna   (04.06.10)
You are a brave son of Russian Jewry!!!
14. Bibi and Peace
Argo   (04.06.10)
No improvement, on any front, be it Palestinian, Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Saudi Arabian or Turkish, can be expected as long at the Netanyahu administration is in place. The problem is that by the time he is out of power, there may be nothing left to make peace over.....
15. Dont Give In, Lets Not Forget Palestinians Are Jordanians
Israel ,   Los Angeles   (04.06.10)
Lets not forget Palestinians are Jordanians. They came from Jordan. In the WAR Israel was victorious winning over the West Bank when they were attacked by the Joradinians. There was never Palestinians. These were Arabs that were expelled from Jordan. Israel let these Arabs reside in Israel, that was the mistake Israel made. Two state solution?? Why? Israel was attacked and Israel over ran the west bank. When you fight a war and there is blood shed, you cant expect the victorious country to give it back, let alone have the enemy want to create its own country from lost real estate it lost in war. It's to bad we listen to todays propaganda and the Arab pressure from around the world and not refer to history..Today we have a FM that refers to history, standing strong in what he believes, not letting Arab and world pressure loose our grip on whats right. We are a small nation with a small voice, and the Arab nations are large with a greater voice. One of the main reasons we have world pressure which is influenced from the Arab world is the smell of oil. Our FM is beeing straight up with regards to Israels interests. Palestinians do not have the right to demand anything. Whats in it for Israel? They should be happy Israel is willing to try to work somthing out with them. Israel is the size of LA county, the Arabs will never be happy, unless Israel is terminated. Dont forget our history and blood shed that took place for this Jewish nation to exist.
16. #9 eporue, europe
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.06.10)
"When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck." - James Whitcomb Riley The same applies to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Dear Leader of the Turks.
17. The Two States solution has reduced the prospects for peace.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (04.06.10)
The Two States solution is based on a series of erroneous assumptions, ignoring documented precedents, and therefore constituting an erroneous policy. "Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace," while the PLO and Hamas have been engaged in a horrific civil war, while there has not been inter-Arab peace during the last 1,400 years, while there has not been inter-Arab compliance with most inter-Arab agreements during the last 1,400 years, while there has not been a single Arab democracy during the last 1,400 years??? The Two States solution has exacerbated regional turbulence, has fueled terrorism, has promoted war and has reduced the prospects for peace, thus undermining the national security of both the US and Israel. As to the legitimacy : http://xrl.us/benher
18. Give em hell, Evette !!
St. Joe ,   Jerusalem   (04.06.10)
19. to #9 relax the right winger in europ
ghostq   (04.06.10)
is also share his point of view and I heard they get alot of support these days.
20. to #10 quit the opposite
ghostq   (04.06.10)
while Gadafi expelled jews from lybia in the 60's Liberman make sure none will expelle jews from their homes anymore. I think Jews should file law suit against Gadafi for the porperties he took.
21. No to extremists
Hope ,   Istanbul- Turkey   (04.06.10)
Extremists on both pour oil into fire.. Dont let them bark but let peacehope survive
22. Give Peace a chance
Cagri ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (04.06.10)
No matter what Liberman says, No matter what Erdogan says, they are unfortunate life forms that seem to Represent 2 Countries. Erdogan speaks to increase his votes in next years elections. He speaks for his Party, hopefully whom will not be in charge after next year. Turks and İsraelis should be friends, not Potential enemies..
23. Is Erdogan is turning into Gaddafi....
Marco Van Harris ,   Spain   (04.06.10)
Lieberman is already the spitting image of Robert Mugabe.
24. Gaddafi forced his way to power...
Marco Van Harris ,   Spain   (04.06.10)
and the Libyans had no choice but to accept this eccentric fellow. Whats your excuse in Israel for having a retard like Lieberman in power? You have become the laughing stock of the civilized world.
25. This guy has guts! Give them hell
Mongo ,   Paris   (04.06.10)
Leiberman for PM!
26. GOD WILL STAND WITH ISRAEL AND FIGHT FOR HER
tony ,   abuja   (04.06.10)
THANK YOU LIEBERMAN. DON'T GIVE A DAM TO MULLAH HUSSEIN OBAMA. THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB (ISRAEL) WILL STAND WITH ISRAEL AND FIGHT FOR HER. NEHEMIAH OVER 3 YEARS AGO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM REBUILDING JERUSALEM WHEN IT WAS BURNED DOWN AND HE OVERCAME AGAINST ALL ODDS BECAUSE GOD WAS HIM. GOD IS WITH ISRAEL AND WILL FIGHT FOR ISRAEL. ISRAEL SHULD RETURN TO THE TORAH AND DEPEND ON GOD ONLY. YOU WILL SEE THE WONDERS THAT HE WILL DO FOR ISRAEL AGAINST HER ENEMIES.
27. Lieberman is right
EDL supporter ,   EU   (04.06.10)
finally a true leader coming from free world. We need more like Lieberman, Geert Wilders and Wafa Sultan. Political correctness will kill Europe.
28. Accept the reality....
Ibrahim ,   Ankara, Turkey   (04.06.10)
His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdogan is Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey. A democratically elected leader who came to power with 47% of the Turkish publics vote. There is no legitimacy issue with the Turkish PM's election. The same could not be said about Colonel Gadafi on the other hand. It's about time Israel used diplomacy and dealt with States rather than base it's polictics on the personal qualities of PM's. Respectability comes from self-respect.
29. Ibrahim - Democracy vs democratically elected
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (04.06.10)
Democracy is not only about getting the most votes. After all Hitler was also democratically elected. In a democracy the ruling party can not ignore the rights and aspirations of those who did not vote for them. That would be dictatorship. Right now as you know very well AKP leader Erdogan and the major opposing party leader Baykal have not met to discuss any issues for the past 10 months. This is a first in Turkish history. Eevn on the subject of the new constitution that AKP would like to offer they are not looking for a consensus, instead they are acting like real dictators. Let me repeat it again: As Erdogan once said, they are still riding on the democracy bus on the way to Arabism and Sheria. As soon as they will reach that stop they will get off this bus. Iyi geceler Ibrahim
30. agree one hundred percent.
joe ,   SF, US   (04.06.10)
