1. Oh, stop teasing us!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.04.10)
Cut ties completely. We don't need you, and we don't want you. You have your good friends the Iranians. The Syrians. (Good luck with both, by the way; you'll need it.) Oh -- one quick word of advice. Make damn well sure that no harm comes to the Jews living in Turkey. Really sure. You don't want us coming after you. We're not the Armenians. We're not the Kurds. We can actually fight back. Like you can't imagine. Keep the Jews safe. Or else.
2. Don't wait for them CUT ALL TIES TO TURKEY NOW!
shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (06.04.10)
3. we dont need the TURKS or their friends !
Benjamin ,   singapore   (06.04.10)
4. Hi Erdogan: What was YOUR grandad doing in 1916?
Tomer ,   Herzeliyya   (06.04.10)
5. # 1 Sarah B: your reply epitomise's the arrogance of Israel
Peter ,   Glasgow, Uk   (06.04.10)
and arrogance is the downfall of all once powerful nations.. Turkey is no walkover..you have awakened a giant in the region
6. Dear Turkey...
Akiva   (06.04.10)
To be honest, we do not want your ties, as you are a terrorist state responsible for killing millions of Armenians and Kurds. Hope you realise you have no hope of getting into Europe with your support of terrorism and new Islamist approach. Sorry. Good Riddance, Israel
7. they didn't want you in europe before
sarah ,   zurich, switzerland   (06.04.10)
and now, having seen the boat of islamistic thugs that you sent to Gaza they will want you even less. You've caused yourselves more harm than good. You will never be leaders of the Muslim world, becuase you're not Arabs. On the other hand you've shown the Europeans that you're truly not worthy of joining the EU, all of whose members of civilized nations.
8. Civilized world should join Turkey....
Marco ,   Spain   (06.04.10)
in isolating Israel. Lets not forget that Israel was found to have commited war crimes by the U.N based on a report by Judge Goldstone.
9. Israëli-Turkish trade
peter ,   amsterdam NL   (06.04.10)
Quote Hürriyet: "The official data showed that Turkey's exports reached 1.9 billion dollars in 2008 from 1.6 billion dollars in 2007. Turkey's imports from Israel rose 36 percent in 2008 to 1.4 billion dollars". Don't forget bread & butter, Sarah B, trade means jobs. I agree with you on Armenians & Kurds, they're Turkeys weak spots. Turkish jews, like Iranian jews, won't make Aliyah any time soon. Better leave them out of the equation, they don't want to be involved.
10. We are naive!
Phil ,   Flushing,USA   (06.04.10)
Why did we ever deal with the current government of Turkey. Iran might be playing with more marbles. The Turks seem to want to use their marbles to shoot with slingshots. Good riddance we will not have to hear how they will resolve issues between Israel and Syria again. I hope for the Turkish people's sake that they elect a real government in the next election, and not one seeped in antisemitism and hatred.
11. Good for you Sarah
DAVID ,   USA/ISRAEL/EGYPT   (06.04.10)
To the Turks, Iranians, Syrians, lebanese and Palestinians. You will not WIN, get over it
12. Israel should cut ties with turkey completely
ygalg ,   israel   (06.04.10)

21. Still "May" SEVER ALL TIES AT ONCE AND FOR ALL
Tayfun_Turkey   (06.04.10)
As you wath Erdogan, AKP and his all Member are PRO ISRAELI they cannot react harsher than a latin american country Turkey recalled her Ambassador to Israel but Latin Amrican countries and South Africa did the same So There is no difference between a watcher government and AKP government who governs Turkey and lost 9 life in Israel raid Arab and muslim countries around DO NOT GET FOOLED WITH PM ERDOGAN AND HIS AKAP IN POWER THEY JUST PLAYING A GAME TO GAIN MUSLIM VOTES IN COMMING TURKISH ELECTIONS Otherwise AKP and Erdogan are True frieds of Israel and support Israel in all issues Just two week ago PM Erdogan and AKP ratified Israeli entry to OECD
22. To #1 Sarah
Ali ,   Ankara, Turkey   (06.04.10)
You seem to think you are better than the Kurd or Armenian people? Are you a superior race? Thats the arrogance that is killing Israel off. Give it 50 years or so, things aint going well for you. Its you that needs the good luck, as the tide has been turning against you for a while. And regarding fighting back like we cant imagine? just like in south Lebanon right? All you can do is sow destruction and cause death, you cant win a war anymore.
23. He still wants the drones
abe ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.04.10)
Teh scum still wants the drones form Israel. So he will cut off all other ties except for those advantageous to him Israel should cancel the deal
24. Severing Ties With Turkey
Shalom Hamou ,   Tel Aviv   (06.04.10)
What is the purpose of having any diplomatic relations with Turkey. Why not end them and recall both embassies and consulates personal?
25. breach of contract
Dina ,   uk   (06.04.10)
Can this be taken to court ?
26. #14 - you're either Christian or Muslim
Eyal ,   USA   (06.04.10)
And if you are a Muslim, than you have the same principals as Arabs.
27. Wouldn't it be easier for Turkey
Rick ,   US   (06.04.10)
To simply say, "we want to kiss Iran's oil rich ass and don't know how we can get closer to them."? I'm thinking of naming my book that. Or is it better, "My name is Mahmoud Achmadinijab (II can't spell my last name) and I am the savior of the Palestinians, who, when I get rid of Israel, can jump into the sea, for all I care"? Please help Turkey and me decide our big questions.
28. Turkey attacked Israel
ChanahS ,   Israel   (06.04.10)
Not the other way around.
29. Turkey committed genocide on 1.5 million Aramenians and...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.04.10)
...slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Kurds is upset that tiny Israel in an act of collective and personal self-defense killed 9 thugs who broke international law in the service of the Turkish want-to-be regional empire. How cynical some can be!!!
30. Stop importing Turkish goods!
David ,   Karmiel,Israel   (06.04.10)
There must me a total boycott of Turkish produce sold in our Supermarkets. The Shufersal and Mega stores as well as others should remove Turkish figs, pomegranate juice and the like from their shelves. Question: Why is our Ambassador in Turkey and why haven't we expelled the Turkish Ambassador?
