8. Long live Lieberman!
Wael ,   Palestine   (06.08.10)
Long live Moldova! May he serve as "israel" PM forever! Now watch your own society as it's run aground by this fool! Apparently his hysterical comments and racist tendencies have caught your imagination. He markets these evils as "patriotism" and being gullible, you've bought it. If only you knew he is serving us - by doing us a big favor, every day! Viva Lieberman!
9. Maybe Leiberman can help influence....
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (06.08.10)
LeBron James to sign a contract with the Knicks, and Clyde Frazier can try to convince the Turks to quit their suicidal alliance with Iran.
10. Turks resqued Jews from Spain 500 years ago
Natalia ,   Moscow   (06.08.10)
When Catholic Spanish soldiers started killing jews Ottomans sent shps and took them to Anatolia... In World War 2 many jews came to Turkey. Why Israel forget these? They just help who need help. Gaza need help... Dont blame Turks ans let us make holiday in Antalya togather...
11. DEAR NATALIA
(06.09.10)
THE TRUTH IS ONLY FOR THE PEOPLE WHOSE EYES -EARS- BRAIN AND HEARTHS OPEN FOR THE TRUTH.... DONT WASTE YOUR WORDS...WELCOME TURKEY NATALIA
12. #10 this a myth
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (06.09.10)
Turks needed Jewish artisans and financiers to help pay the infidel jyzia tax after the conquest of Costantinople, slaughtering of the Greeks and emptying the city. Ottomans had much need of non-Muslim subjects to benefit from and this why they allowed Jews to settle on their newly conquered territories. As far as Turkish ships sent to take Jews from Spain it is a myth, it never happened. Turks had no ships at that time. Spanish Jews paid heavily to Greek ships to take them to Ottoman lands.

well maybe if the israelis werent so greedy on land there wouldnt be a problem,its like my neighbor knockin down my fence and taking over my back yard,solutions so simple,but we need leaders with a heart,not guns
16. Lol @ George Brown
Ian ,   Australia   (06.09.10)
Yeah right on Gearge..let's all never forget any of the massacres throughout human history and let's never get over it...that way we can keep the resentments flowing and the wars raging...you don't happen to have shares in an arms manufacturer do you?.
17. Lieberman...
Malone ,   Hfx   (06.09.10)
Maybe not very diplomatic,but he speaks clearly,to the point and is right most often....cuts through all the bs and political correctness... I would love to see him as the next PM..
18. i didn't write #13......it's a fake
eporue ,   europe   (06.09.10)
shame on you!
19. Very good, now when is Israel will make a change?
(06.09.10)
Turkey letting the world know they are shifting towards political Islam. Their solidarity with Hamas, Iran, Syria, and turning their back on Israel is purely out of religious reasons. Fine. What strategic changes is Israel making?
20. Natasha @ 10, ne volnyites'.
leo ,   usa   (06.09.10)
Turki snesyt Erdogany bashky kogda pridet vremja i vse vstanet na krygi svoja.
21. #14 is an imposter - say, is it someone from the paper
eporue ,   europe   (06.09.10)
..who does do this ? this freak is so quick in replying, it was now (again i think) published the same time as my #13 comment...
22. To: 8: Wael, Palestine
Jonathan   (06.09.10)
I am so happy that you are happy with Liberman. So do we. I think that Liberman is doing you a big favor, like you say. But that's true for the whole of Israel. But if you continue like that, he might also do me a big favor. After which you, Salma, and other hate-preachers will never see the Internet again. Long live LIberman !
23. Turkey made a mistake
Jonathan   (06.09.10)
... and betrayed one of the best friends and neighbours it has in the region. But that's more true for their Prime Ministers, and less true for the whole Turkish nation. I am sure that the Turks know that, and hopefully they will vote correctly in their next elections.
24. #12 I totaly agree with you..
ace ,   san francisco   (06.09.10)
Here we have not one, but two racist states, going at it while each is claiming to be a "democracy"!! I have heard that the red indians are getting more and more money from their casinos in the US. They now have so much money that they are arranging their alliances and soon will be FORCING us AMERICANS to leave their fathers land. They are also starting to get all their red indian families scattered all over the diaspora back to the US.. Moreover, they are going to kick all the white, black and yellow, and everything in between out of the US and create their own RED INDIAN state. They may allow us to create a new US along the borders- not sure of this one, but they just might.. At a later pont in time, the whole world will be marching to Africa- the land of natural resources, the land of the FIRST homosapen. The whole world, including russians, poles, and scandenavians, will force Nigeria, Niger, and all other African states to give us back our fathers land... Thats the word, how crazy is that? Its not half as crazy as you lunies are..
25. Bravo Lieberman
Byzantine Greek ,   Greece   (06.09.10)
At least Israel realised after 60 years what a monster Turkey is and that Ankara has no real friends or to phrase it better, " only itself. Welcome to the world of Greece; having a neighbor that wants to steal your lands and revive the Ottoman Empire by any means. To-Da ...Long live Israel.
26. Just when you think it couldnt get any worse
Avi ,   Israel   (06.09.10)
Send in Liberman, a former night club bouncer, who was convicted for attacking a 12 year old and is now under criminal investigation, a man that is seem as a joke in International diplomatic circles and a liar and a cheat in Israel. Send in the clowns.....
27. thats exactly how the ROW thinks about israel
(06.09.10)
28. Lieberman, Turkey, USA, EU
American Guy ,   Chicago, USA   (06.09.10)
I don't know if Lieberman is good or bad. He seems to be a straight talker (not in style nowadays), and he is right about Turkey. I am still waiting for the leaders of the US and the EU to wake up and realize they have lost Turkey. Turkey has gone over to the dark side. They are allied with Iran. They still use their old alliance with the West where it helps them, but it is only a charade.
