1. GAZA
Do ,   USA   (04.07.10)
We all know that Israel is to blame for the Gaza situation. Why not free the palestinians, they have suffered enough. Give them thier state, or include them in one state. They are beating daily by the Israeli army, and the Arabs are sleeping while the palestinians are suffering.
2. he sound like bad flash driver.
ghostq   (04.07.10)
and since Israel doesn't tells him who will be in the gov it would be nice if Turks will do the same cause forign medling in someone gov or ruleing is as good as declaring war, knowing soviranity is loose.
3. why do we continue to put up with this idiot?
Yitzchak ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.07.10)
Why do we allow ourselves to daily be insulted by this Jew-hater? Why have we not thrown the Turkish ambassador out of this country and why have not broken off relationships with Turkey. They don't need us and we don't need them.
4. The man is out of his mind. I am surprised the Turks have
Petra ,   EU, on the road   (04.07.10)
not noticed it yet and dealt with it..., but then Stalin went out of his mind as was Hitler, Ahmadinijad and a few others. I feel sorry for the Turkish people whom this man embarrass greatly, I am sure.

6.  Israel main threat to Mideast peace
psalms83 ,   selah   (04.07.10)
So goes the story...and will go so long as there is an israel in the mid-east....it does not matter if israel gives into a two state solution ... once completed the second stage of the Eviction Hudna process begins.....and won't end till there is no viable state of israel in the mid-east area.......
7. Islam is the #1 threat to the world!
(04.07.10)
8. EXISTENCE of Israel is Muslims' casus belli
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (04.07.10)
Beyond that, the only thing that matters to Arab and other Muslims (e.g., Persian & Turkish) is whatever concession Israel might make toward national suicide or whatever resistance Israel demonstrates to eventual disappearance from the Middle East map.
9. God help Turkey
Mary   (04.07.10)
It will become another extreme Islamic state. This Erdogan is nuts.
10. Hey Erdogan
Yaron ,   USA   (04.07.10)
Tell you what, how about you stop killing Kurds and give them their right to self-autonomy. Once there is a Kurdistan we will sit down and create a Palestine. Until then, don't be a typical Muslim extremist. It does seem fair given how much longer your conflict with the Kurds goes back relative to the Israeli-Pal conflict. You, Mr Erdogan are a hypocrite of the highest order and deserve what awaits you in the Muslim world.
11. His BS is way more threatening world peace
(04.07.10)
12. honesty
alp ,   oxford   (04.07.10)
i am pretty sure if Erdogan was a minister in the secand world war,he would a back up the Jews and put same presure to Germany.All jews,history is full of evidance how muslims Turks deal with you.When you have been treted so badley Ottoman open the borders in 16.cent.and many other exp.Muslim Turks always been honest to every one,no matter where you come from and what religion you follow.Please come to your senses and be a decente human been.You should do this now,because judgement day will be fair to every one,no cheat no money will safe any troble makers.come to your senses and safe your souls.For Hz.Musa(peace be upon him) sake.
13. ''Our attitude is a humanitarian one''
eddie ,   london UK   (04.07.10)
Yes, the Turkish ottomans were very humanitarian in their masascre of 1.5 Million Armenians. SOme call it genocide, but Obama wishes to whitewash (in the white house) this term.
14. What a clown. Muhammedans are killing on every continent.
Yaniv ,   Israel   (04.07.10)
15. Why does Erdogan always look like he just said "yoghurt?"
Yaniv ,   Israel   (04.07.10)
16. Erdogan is a complete dolt
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.07.10)
How is Israel responsible for the Sunni/Shi'ite violence in Iraq? How is Israel responsible for Iran's ceaseless attempts to destabilize Saudi Arabia? How is Israel responsible for an emergent Moslem Brotherhood in Egypt? How is Israel responsible for Syria's non-stop interference in Lebanon? How is Israel responsible for Turkey's massacre of innocent Kurdish civilians? No wonder the European Union doesn't want Turkey as a member.
17. Another Day Another Erdogen Attack
izzie ,   usa   (04.07.10)
This guy must have a neurological disease since he keeps repeating himself and making no sense. Just yesterday iIn iraq, muslims killed 37 innocent muslim civilians and in Afganistan, over 75 and he gripes about gaza. Myopic and foolish is not a foreign policy. It is apparent to the world that Turkey has joined the dark side and is promoting Iran's interest at the expense of Turkeys. I am not sure when this jokers trem expires but it will interesting to see what comes next. Perhpas one day this fool will realize the damage he has done to Turkeys international standing. Reality is that the world already hates Israel so his comments are simply lost in the daily barrage of incitement. But to Europe, this joke has played some very bad cards and emabarassing Sarkozy who supports Israel was not smart. the turks can't have it both ways, be a modern democratic nato ally and influential in arab/muslim relations with the west and being a stooge for iran and extremists. His choosing Iran shows how reckless and blind to reality he is.
18. Israel a threat?
Antonio ,   Spain   (04.07.10)
This Erdogan is a joker. Perhaps he should ask himself why UE doesn't want anything from Turkey. Perhaps why do they occcupied Ciprus and they continue to. Perhaps why they attacked Kurds with quimical weapons. Perhaps why a raising radical islamic wave is taken positions on government... Perhaps Turkey is the real menace in Mid East, NOT ISRAEL.
19. Yeah, release 'Gazans' to their homeland in Egypt
AK   (04.07.10)
Gazans are not suffering; people in Congo and Darfur are suffering. People in Liberia are suffering. Christians in Nigeria are suffering. The standard of living of people of Gaza are higher than that of average Egyptian, which is amazing considering that they don't even have to earn their keep. Turkey is turning into Iran right before our eyes. The first step was taken with the arrest of the secular members of the military on a trumped up charges. I hope Israel is no longer selling sophisticated weapons to this enemy country.
20.  Goldstone and his report
AK   (04.07.10)
The damage Goldsone has done to Jews and Israel is huge. It is simply amazing what damage the self-promoting Jews are willing to inflict upon their brethren in the furtherance of their own careers. All the anti-Semites have to do is cite one of those self-promoters to make their points and they never fail to do so.
21. to #12 ha? in ww1 Turkey sided with
ghostq   (04.07.10)

22. Let us Hear Erdogan Critisize USA for Depleted Uranium Shell
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (04.07.10)

24. Our goal is integration with the Western world
George ,   Antwerp   (04.07.10)
NO NO. Stay where you are. We don't need you here in Europe!!
25. israel main threat to ME and the world
Paco ,   Canada   (04.07.10)
without israel in the ME, peace would have prevailed in the ME for decades. Arabs are able to live in peace with one and another.
26. He's right and you can't take it.
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (04.07.10)
Unfortunately, too may Israelis are so brain dead they can't accept the truth. The Holocaust does not give you a free pass to ignore the injustices committed in the name of a 'Jewish' state. Justice may be defined as 'what is good for 'A' is likewise good for 'B', and likewise an act that is criminal when committed by 'A' is likewise criminal if committed by 'B'. This idea of equal protection is anathema to most Israelis who want to believe in the myth of a workable 'Jewish' state, freely dispossessing all non-Jews to a lesser status of humanity. Now the bill for your actions is coming due. Amd the real question is: Where do you go from here?
27. Islamist-Jihadism is the main threat to the world
Brod ,   USA   (04.07.10)
Erdogan the Islamist-Jihadist is a spokesman of Islamist-Jihadism which is the main threat to the region and the world.
28. Erdogan smart. Nobody talks about
Rehavam ,   Israel   (04.07.10)
recognition of armenian genocide any more. Shift attention. Simple.
29. To Paco Rabane
jb ,   Canada   (04.07.10)
Where do you get your info, you moron. Living in peace??? Hahahah They have been slaughtering each other for centuries. Shia vs Sunni vs every little offshoot that claims to be the true rep. of mohammed. I guess you never heard of the Iran/Iraq war, shithead? Check it out to see how they live in peace. Israel is the only thing keeping a mideast war from happening. Your ignorance and stupidity is beyond belief!
30. Agree with Ardogan 100% Israeli don't want peace.
Sami ,   Lebanon   (04.07.10)
The historical lies comes up to an end and the masque is unveiled even to best friend and ally ,the American.
