Foolish demand on Turkey's part - Israel was the victim. Israel - Don't apologize. Cut ties first. Turkey is no friend or ally.

I did not compose the post at No. 8. I would never write anything that vile. I am proud that I am a citizen of Israel; I live there six months of the year, and my loyalty is absolute. Greater, even, than my loyalty to the United States. I posted a note to the YNet Moderator asking that the post at No. 8 be deleted. Thus far, they have not complied.

hasta la vista baby!! chao!!

Let's see what Turkey gets out of their new friends in Iran & Syria. Islamism will put an end to freedom, reverse economic progress, there is nothing positive in Turkey's new orientation. This is a disaster for modern, secular Turks, the ultimate victims of Islam are always Muslims. Turks need to decide if they want to live in a country like Iran or Syria - the evidence of their future can easily be seen.

Nah. Not gonna happen. Turkey can dig itself out of this mess all by its lonesome. And it is one great big mess, I must say.

You're breaking our hearts!! Grow up... warm regards....Gregg bowman

Go, already.

One of the great leaders of the 20th century, Kamal Ataturk, formed a Secular Islamic democratic government in Turkey from the ashes of World War 1. He took great pains to prevent Turkey from becoming a authoritarian Islamic country like the other Arabic nations in the middle east. Today, Turkey is moving away from democracy and toward radical Islam. The great losers will be the Turkish people who enjoyed religious and economic freedom and a high standard of living. It is unfortunate that their political leaders have not studied their own history before changing political direction. More about Turkey : http://xrl.us/bhp37t

to say that I am in love with Israel, it is only about jealousy. We palestines do not have a country, because we do not want it, we would like to be juews, but we could not, we are fascinated with jews, and that make us angry...I wich I would be jew....shalom

'When you want want an apology, you don't use threats or ultimatums,' - Yigal Palmor Finally, someone with balls inside Netanyahu's government who knows when to call a spade a spade. Cut the ties with the backsttabing "nation" of Turkey.

The international community should break ties to Turkey if they don't apologize for having massacred 1.5 millions of Armenians. Ankara is not in the moral state to dictate especially because Turkey supported anti-Israel ship with terrorists on its board. Israel should freeze its relations and worldwide Jewish leaders should call their members to boycott the Islamist state of Turkey! Don't go to Turkish restaurants, don't buy Turkish goods, don't go on vacation to Antalya and elsewhere!

Do not apologize to these turkish criminals!!! Be strong and show yourself, the whole world that you are strong, determinated and a sovereign country. There are plenty of ciuntries which would lovely make business with you, which would import your technology, which would use you health innovations to save lifes..... DO NOT APOLOGIZE!!! BE STRONG!!! The hell with them!!!!

Turkey is the only friendly country Israel has in the area. Few months back the Turkish ambassador was humiliated by some Israeli official. Now, the killing of 9 peace activists, as they were described by president Peres himself. Why? The only thing left for Israel to do is become the 51:st state of the USA. Is that what the Israelis want? Don´t get me wrong, I love the USA. Apologize humbly and get it over with.

...And just imaging how we are fed up with racism and turcophobia from Israel and its supporters you can't imagine.. As for Israel being technologically superior and having a stronger military. Well it is not a crime to dream, but the outcome of a possible war with Turkey wouldn't favor Israel which is something you can be certain of...

For the murder of tens of thousand of Kurd and Armenians. Then we might just say we are sorry for killing a few terrorists on an illegal flotilla.

Thank you for being so honest, it is all about jealousy, but you are starting with the wrong people. It is the Jordanians that occupy your land, they occupy what was 76% of the mandate with a Palestinian population of 77% of the people. Jordan IS Palestine. Jordan was always meant to be the Palestinian homeland and everything west of the river the Jewish homeland.

Commentary? The blatant hypocrisy in the way they are bombing the Kurds mercilessly for doing the exact same things the palestinians do to us. Yet it's fine for them to carpet bomb, violate Iraqs territorial sovereignty, and have a complete disregard for civilians safety is disgusting. And yet we are supposed to apologize for 'humiliating' the ambassador by seating him on a lower chair? Or the fact that they actively sent terrorists who pre-planned attacks on our troops. Israel for it's self-dignity should not apologize. We maybe the Jew in the worlds family of nations, but it's time to re-define that Jew no longer means, humiliate, injure, and kill at will. Turkey can go to hell if this is their attitude!

@Gabriel, I live in germany, it's rather hard to boycott turkish producs since in germany almost 6Mio are turks but I try harder every day. I started the bycott losng time ago.... @Haider, "Now, the killing of 9 peace activists" are you kidding??? if those rats were peace activists whya did they carry weapons? why didn't they go to ashdod as the real peace activist did??? hypocrit !! @Karen, why all you moslems think Israel would be alone? why you all moslems dream of wars??? aren't you the "peace religion"??? your folk still thinks jews wouldn't defende theirself as during last 2000 years...keep on thinking like that, it will help you a lot, hahahaha BOYCOTT to TURKS !!

My, Oh, My! Another Turkish megalomaniac. Is this a new form of Ottoman Infallibity? '...but the outcome of a possible war with Turkey wouldn't favor Israel...' Are you planing to use the same method you're currently using against the Kurds? Or are you thinking about using the method you're most able to use against Armenians?

Hang my head in shame at our spineless leadership and resolve to vote for a more right wing government next time. What would you do?

your arrogance will never allow you to apologize to any crime comitted. After all you are god's chosen peoples. lets all see where this ends

where is Paleastine ?! i know only where is PALESTINE :P

and 'mean' you are Mr Ahmet Davitoglu. Strange coincidence, not long ago , Hitler, Stalin,Mao,pol pot, and some lesser dictators used the same worldly threats, in order to "convince' their opponents to cave in, or else. Unfortunately, the "or else' turned out to be in the 10's of millions.. Only cowards, imbeciles, or both would accept an "ultimatum" from a country governed by medieval Junta. That same Junta used the same dictate towards Cyprus, the Kurds, No point in elaborating the Armenian Slaughter, the world doesn't give a damn anyway. Bibi, just tel them to go to hell. If you feel incompetent, unable to stand up to them, just leave and let someone else take over and act like a PM should.

The way the country leaders are acting lately, they are holding true to this meaning.

Turkey wants to cut ties, so what? Israelis can go to Greece for their vacations and do something to help the struggling economy. Or even better, to Cyprus. The Greek side, of course.

After watching the mess Turkey created, the Hezbollah and Iranian flotilla retreated. Now Turkey is left holding the bag, practically begging Israel to grovel and help them save face. It's Turkey who owes Israel the apology. Using the Palestinians as a guise to create a provocation with Israel and sending Turkish jihadis to lynch Israeli soldiers. Primitive, barbaric behavior caught on tape for all to see. What was Turkish leadership thinking?

For applying international law in international waters? To defend themselves from weapons smugglings? Turkey, asking Israel to apologize, is putting a gravestone on their chances to be ever admittend in the EU. At this point I seriously think that Erdogan's Turkey it is not interested anymore to be part of Europe.
