1. Go to turkey and get welcomed by angry lynch protest mobs
Bo ,   Israel   (06.01.10)
No one is stupid enough to believe Turkey's ad propaganda anymore. Even if they pay us to go we're going elsewhere. Mykonos is awesome island! Sorry Turkey, the facts don't lie.
2. Eilat
"What's Up" the Observatory in Eilat ,   Eilat   (06.01.10)
Negotiate hard for fair prices from Eilat hotels then get out of the hotels and enjoy all of the wonderful things that Eilat has to offer.
3. good decision!

Daniela   (06.01.10)
don't worry ! nobody will come to Turkey, a country against Israel who support terror. We will not give you a single euro. I'm sure that your hotels and tourism industry will start to cry very soon.

ED ,   MEXICO   (06.02.10)

Ali ,   villanova -PA- USA   (06.02.10)
TURKEY KNEW this was coming and is FINALLY a REALITY..Turkey can and will do without the Israelis... For Tourism, the ARABS will make Turkey their FAVORITE destination. And to add INSULT to INJURY, Lot of ARAB OIL REVENUES is BEING invested NOW more than ever..... The Present LEADERSHIP is NOT doing anything RIGHT...They are BENT on ISOLATING Israel and Bringing ONLY an ARMAGEDDON the JEWISH can do without...
10. go to Turkey, be in their face
(06.02.10)
many of the world's most hateful countries towards jews are countries that has no jews in them. for most arabs and muslims, a jew is something they only see on tv. don't make the same mistake with the Turks. Keep going to Turkey, be in their face, so they'll know that we know that not all Turks support the recent anti Israeli agenda.
11. Leila- you tirks murdered 1.5 mil armenias you murder kurds

15. to Rani Rahav
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (06.02.10)
Sorry, nobody is going to take their life in their hands by traveling to Turkey. It is time for you to change your business and send people to a different, more friendly country. it is obvious that the current government in Turkey is more interested in aligning itself with the bad guys, ie Iran and Syria, than in maintaining good relations with Israel. I have never been to Turkey, but as of now I am no longer buying their cheap pasta or any other products made there.
16. Better
mario ,   new mexico. U.S   (06.02.10)
We are better off without Israeli tourists who steal hotel blankets
17. Attaturk is Dead! Viva Islamic Revolution and Iran
turkistan is born   (06.02.10)
18. israeli tourist
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (06.02.10)
@1 dont worry arabs already covered the loss of israelı tourısts. win-win
19. Solidarity with Israeli workers
Adam ,   U.K   (06.02.10)
In solidarity with Israeli workers,I with my familly (5 of us) will cancel our summer holidays for august.
20. #9 Turkish travel industry lost millions
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.03.10)
Travel industry representatives came to Israel begging to reverse the cancellations. My Israeli friends and relatives have had no problem finding more cost effective travel destinations. At this rate, Turkey will eventually end up like Iran. Mostly business travel with nice hotels remaining empty.
21. turky
ami ,   israel   (06.03.10)
dont go to turky and spent your money elswhere also they wont have to many tourist from europe because of the financel crisis there let them eat what they cooked
22. Mark, USA
Rosie   (06.05.10)
How many years of elementary school do you have? Judging by your spelling and grammar, not more than one. Learn first, write later.
23. Becoming a minority in own country
A.S. ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (06.07.10)
With Erdogan's win of elections, an era closed in Turkey. Fundamendal Islam is making a comeback. With failing in all areas, economy, huge debts, population explosion with most of the people young and jobless, terror on the rise, the only way to get popularity is moves like sending people to Gaza. Note that fundamentalists burning Turkish opposition people alive will not stop anywhere. as a member of the generation with western upbringing and can see a campaign to bury my conuntry into dark ages. The irony is, Erdogan is now being used by the fundamentalists. I would be sorry for any tourists or minorities hurt here.
24. # 23 A.S.
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.25.10)
A.S. ! Erdogan is to Turkey, what Obama is to the USA and the free world,while Erdogan is trying to place Turkey under the domination of the Muslim brotherhood,Obama wishes to turn the USA into another Cuba,how sad.
25. leila #3 u wrong
