1. erdogan is a liar
mohson   (06.01.10)
most of the words coming out of the mouth of erdogan are full of lies, distoritons, islamic exaggeration and israel hate. Erdogan has no military experience, has never set up a business, was brainwashed in islamic school. His only dues were time spent in jail. His wife is an arafat screeching arab on whose behalf he launches tirades against israel. By erdogan, turks show their worst side. Ataturk is rolling in his grave.
2. Erdogan leads Turkey to hell
Marina Asher ,   New York, USA   (06.01.10)

5. I am ashamed of Turkey
A true Turk ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (06.01.10)
Turkey has a glorious history, but today was not one of our better days. We have become a vassal of Iran without firing a shot. Down with Erdogan and down with AKP

8. Shame on Israel
Ray ,   USA   (06.01.10)
Once again Israel show us how they thank us for our support. We give them millions in cash and weapons and in return , they steal our secert and kill innocent protesters in high seas. Time to cut of our tax money once for all.
9. Takes one to know one
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (06.01.10)
Since the Likud are ideological descendents of fascist Zionists.
10. Sure,Turks are bad and Israel is Good?
Mark ,   USA   (06.01.10)
I am a Turkish-Jew and for you ingnorants Jews over there whom came from all over the World to Israel have no idea what have Turks did for Jews 500 years I am a live bcz of Turks, you should look at your Lunitic leaders who are taking Israel in a path of isolation ,you who are holding these signs are as lunitic as your leaders, smartest people on Earth are head by dummist leaders staring from Liberman,
11. They came for AID, NOT FOR FIGHT!
Ethan ,   Clifton, NJ, USA   (06.01.10)
We have you understand that, the people are here to help to babies, women and old people. We have to live in peace..
12. ERdogan's desperation
jerri i ,   NYC   (06.01.10)
It appears that the recent economic events and polls concerning popular support in Turkish politics have unnerved Erdogan to the point of desperation especially since 'Gandhi' was elected as head of the major opposition party to the Turkish Islamists. He is fishing for any possible event that will keep him in power and lead to the imposing of Sharia law on the Turkish people. Therefore he has become in public anti Israel and used his support of the aid armada to attempt to increase his support from the back country masses for his antisemitic stand in the election next year. The economic problems of Turkey in the last 3 years has decreased support for him and he is looking for a boogyman to attack in order to gain support. The man is desperate to destroy the Westernization of Turkey imposed by Ataturk.Note that outside of Istanbul in the Ottoman empire the Jews were treated harshly by the local Turkish authorities. One such example was the forced conversion of the Jewish population in Hebron in the mid 1700s (the city at that time was all Jewish).
13. We must support the Kurdish independence
Dan ,   USA   (06.01.10)
14. Erdogan intentionally sent turkish ship full of armed thugs
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (06.01.10)
in order to create this incident. He is the only one that knew how this would end and was ready with his reaction. The continuing build up of the israeli enemy will enable him to assume dictatorial powers at home and wipe out his opposition. this is a typical ruse of rising despots. Erdogan is the true murderer here.
15. Interference
Rami ,   Canada   (06.01.10)
how come i did not see any demonstrations when the US congress agreed to fund israel with 200 million dollars?? isn't that intereference?? isn't every US veto in the security council on behalf of israel a veto too???
16. last night saw Turks kursing jews and Israelis
ghostq   (06.01.10)
so much hate I guess it was always there. I talked to turk he called the 9 dead shaids - aka sucide act of terrorism, somehow Muslims like to blow things out of proportions they add number of dead to make it look bad. the injured r takeing care of in Israeli hospitals, I see that as really high moral, if it was other stat they would probably send to their homecountry as they r with their wounds. bravo Israel be strong we know the truth.
17. israel's excuse
ish ,   london   (06.01.10)
israel is a lier.... weapons on the ship? haha we have heard that excuse from george bush to many times - your having a laugh!
18. Hamas and Hizbullah are glorified in Turkey
Ron B. ,   Lod   (06.01.10)
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.

19. Turkish pot is calling Israel black...
Matt K. ,   Victoria, BC, Canada   (06.01.10)
... what about the Turkish blockade of Christian Armenia, lasting over eighteen years?
20. MK Hanin Zoabi should be cast out of
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (06.01.10)
our Knesset. She joined the flotilla and took part in demonizing Israel and must have been aware of the fact that the passengers on the Turkish ship had no intention of protesting peacefully and she must have known that they hid weapons to be used against our military. So she was part of the deception, probably encouraged it, and took part in the aggression against our forces. Sabotage is a criminal activity the consequences of which are profound. Not only should be no longer be part of Israel's governing body but she should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. That would be justice.
21. to #17 they had weapons on the ship
ghostq   (06.01.10)
I saw rhe knives stun granades and metal rodes, they even snatched IDF weapon and strat using it. this is the truth.
22. NO 13 DAN THE SOB
ARMAN ,   ISTANBUL   (06.01.10)
no 13.DAN THE S.O.B. WHY DON'T YOU START WITH SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL INDIANS - NATIVE AMERICANS THAT YOUR F. ANCESTORS NEARLY WIPED OUT.
23. NO 19
ARMAN ,   ISTANBUL   (06.01.10)
TURKEY IS JUST KEEPING ITS BORDER TO armenia CLOSED. SO WHAAAAAT.
24. to #22 how would you know if he he British ancestor
ghostq   (06.01.10)
in the USA there r also afrikan amerikans and jews, he even can be native amerikan, this isn't Turkey when Mongul tribes who migrated to small asia conquer it and made kurds pay for being lokal. so you see you got nothing.
25. shame on you Israelis
david cohen ,   china   (06.01.10)
you should be THOUSANDS not only hundreds demonstrating in front of the Turkish Embassy. You should be holding signs asking: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GENOCIDE OR THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE AND THE KURDS? you should have people following Edrogan the Islamist in all his trips abroad and holding these signs about the Turkish bloody killing of the Christians and the Kurds!
26. It's over Turkey
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (06.01.10)
It looks like our relationship with Turkey is over. It is obvious that this . Islamofacist government prefers to align with the bad guys, ie Iran and Syria rather than with the west. We Israelis have to stop traveling there or buying their cheap pasta in the supermarket. Turkey has a lot of unemployment . They have an election next year and the current government's poll numbers are down. Since most people vote their pocketbooks it won't be good for them if people get laid off from hotels. When they get a normal secular government like they are supposed to have, maybe we can mend relations with them.
27. if there is any justice in this world...
eporue ,   europe   (06.01.10)
...then there will be an international trial in the hague over this massacre, with barak, ashkenazi and hopefully bibi...
28. to # 13
Murat ,   Antalya/Turkey   (06.01.10)
No reason for you to be be disapointed .Israel already has been supporting the PKK for more than 20 years. It does support the the so called sepaterist " kurds" in iran and syria as well. But we also know that israel is not doing this because they love the kurdish people...!Neither you love the armenians very much. Israel-USA-GB = the axis of evil. Shalom
29. NO 13 Dan the SOB
Brian ,   Los Angeles   (06.01.10)
Arman, you made Dan's point for him. Imagine how Turkey would react if there was a flotilla of "peace activists" sailing toward Turkey in support of the Kurdish rebellion against Turkey. Your impassioned response says it all. Don't you see how Turkey's initiating this flotilla is a assault on Israel? With Turkey now doing the bidding of Palestinian terrorists how can you complain of people supporting the Kurds?
30. to Arman 22
American patriot   (06.01.10)
Before opening your filthy mouth against the US you should rather focus on the Armanian genocide you comitted, and the daily massacre of Kurds (1900 deaths last year) before crying like a fool for your pallies..we are sick of your twiste dlogic, you muslim can slaughter people by thousand, but the kuffars we are, can't defend ourselves;. get lost..
