Sarah for a person who claims to live in Israel for 6 months of the year I have never seen a post from you where you are in Israel, you have only posted from the U.S. frankly I doubt you have ever visited Israel let alone lived there as your lack of knowledge on Israel has been astounding at times.
62. IHH - 0f world fame...!
joe   (07.05.10)
The new Zillionaire supporting terror with $$$ and plenty of it. It even paid cash to the families of suicide bombers. The Danish Institute for International Studies and the French Intelligence reports confirm that. This idiot by the name of Bulen Yildirim (their grand Vizir) suggested that a " declaration of war " should be the order of the day, should Israel oppose the flotilla --- another demented turk.!
63. Turkey should apologize first for killing Kurdish civilians
Supporter ,   of Kurdistan   (07.05.10)
as they say : "practices what he preaches".
64. Apologize!!!
Ros ,   Tel Aviv   (07.05.10)
Turkey never intended to come in peace. The world should apologize to Israel for denying her the right to self-defence. And if they were coming in peace - why could they not mention how Gilat Shalit is being treated!!!!
65. # 53 Right thing is: Apologize - time/places not in our side

66. THERE IS NO POINT IN CONTINUING THE TIES WITH THE ISRAELI ..
SINGER ,   SINGAPORE   (07.05.10)
CRIMINALS...JUST CUT IT...N TREAT THE WHOLE EPISODE AS A BAD OMEN
67. cut ties with Turkey now!
Mike Diaz ,   San Juan, U.S.A.   (07.05.10)
Is Netanyahu going to act as the Mohel to "cut" ties with Turkey? >:-)
68. To: No. 47
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.05.10)
Yeah. We saw how well Turkey acquitted itself in Cyprus in 1974. Dream on, Karen. You people made a really, really bad choice linking up with the Islamofascists in Iran. Not the first mistake Turkey has made, but very possibly the last. Of that, you can be certain.
69. To: No. 61
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.05.10)
How would you know where I am when I post? Oh, that's right! You wouldn't. At least half of my posts are made from my home in Savion. The balance from my home in New York. Are you so prescient that you can tell? I think not. Therefore, "Judah" (from wherever you may post) STFU.
70. #51, #52, #59
Karen ,   Turkey   (07.05.10)
#51, And you assume that the 'Christians' in the EU and US will send you a couple of soldiers in your aid 'in time' and that will make all the difference? And through out history these people just ran to the aid of the Jews.. right, what are you smoking? Go ahead and boycott couldn't careless, maybe Turks should also boycott your country along with Israel. #52; The things you mention are about historically accurate as talking about a Nazi genocide committed by Jews in WW2; in short it is absurd. Take a look at wars fought by Turks both historically and by Turkey in modern times you might learn a couple of things besides your daily brainwashes by your medias.. #59, Turkey is about as much an Islamic country as the US is a Buddhist one, so the countries / people you refer to as buddies is meaningless.
71. Sarah
Judah ,   Israel   (07.05.10)
Looks like I hit a nerve by voicing my opinion, and that is all it was Sarah a opinion. If half of you posts are written in Israel I would expect you to have a better insight and knowledge of what is happening in our country but all you comments seem to be written from the U.S. I doubt very much if you are a citizen of our country.
72. What an arrogant demand! Turkey has commited an Act of War!
(07.05.10)
It is Turkey which must apologize, not Israel! Turkey has attaked Israel by organizing and supporting the ships which tried to break a legally imposed military blockade, in a region of armed conflict. Israel has acted according to ANY International law - despite the lies and claims coming from its enemies which now include Turkey. Turkey has proven amply that it is an enemy of Israel both politically and militarily. Its racism and hatred towards the Jews in general and Israel in particular have been proven already on any occasion and on any official and unofficial platform. There is no point in talking to the current Turkish government which has alredy decided ever since the Davos conference that it is interested more in building a relationshipp with tyrannies like Syria and Iran, and sever its ties with the Free and Democratic World. Let Turkey to the Turks. I am sure that too many dislike the current dictatorship to let it live longer than its current term anyway. Cut ALL discussions and ties with them. Let them enjoy the new Muslim Pit the're currretly jumping into. "We know what we want. We are right in our means: NO APOLOGIES AND NO TALKS WITH A HATEFUL AND RACIST TURKISH DICTATORSHIP!"
73. #66 another Malay/Indonesian racist parrot. Ignore!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.05.10)
Yes, it's a bad omen allright: that's why Iran stopped their "peace flotilla" too. Even they are not ready to face the Israeli wrath if provoked beyond a certain red line. Turkey is making an historical strategic mistake that potentially will bring it to civil war and instability, making it an easy pick for the Persians. Turkey (like yourself) are pathetic clowns. They will never make it to EU and by aligning themselves with racist animals like yoursef, have doomed themselves to backwardness and dispair, just like ALL the other Muslim dictatorships. You have nothing to be proud of "Singer". All of Singapore's achievements are there thanks to the local 97.5% hard-working Chinese majority and their full cooperation with Israel. Singapore is where it is today NOT thanks to racist scum like you so don't insult Singapore's name by attaching it to your lame alias. I am hapy that this makes you mad like hell. That means that we are doing something right after all! Now go and burst a vein!
74. #65 Yes, DO keep your breath until that happens!
(07.05.10)
75. #47 Reality check: Turkey is falling the extremism pit!
(07.05.10)
Just take a look at how people live in Muslim tyrannies around the world and get used to it: you will live the same life - especially if Turkey will make the mistake of attacking Israel. Just talk to Assad, Nasrallah and other Muslim cowards. But don't worry - Turkey will not dare attack Israel. That will be its ticket OUT of NATO and OUT of any possibility to keep its normal ties with the free world. Yes, you must hate racism very much. I can feel you just LOVE Jews, don't you!
76. #70 There is no Ottoman Empire left! Live with it!
(07.05.10)
And LOL about Turkey boycotts: I've seen how far your coward leadership went when they took on the Chinese massacre of the Uyghur. He put his tail behind his hind legs and ran under the bed whining at the first airing of a documentary about the Armenian Genocide on the official Chinese TV! As usual, the Muslims are brave when they think they can, and shut up when they are shown a big stick. I guess that your racist government hasn't seen a big Jewish stick yet and I hope that time will never come. But I think that the flotilla Turkish fiasco was a small but visible smack on its nose, and now the Arduan dog is looking for a face-saving "sorry" from Israel. Guess what: he will never get it! Furthermore, his barking behind the fence does not impress anybody here anymore. We know that hehates our guts (like you do) and no amount of logic and civilized behavior will bring him to his senses. He decided to live with the Iranian and Syrian dogs so he will be treated as such. No take your arrogance, hatred, racism and frustration back and leave us alone. I would like YOU to boycott this forum and take your pathetic self to greener pastures like Al Jazeera or Haaretz!
77. There is nothing for which Israel need to apologize, nothing
George ,   Palm Beach, FL USA   (07.05.10)
78. Is megalomania Turkey's national sport?
Menachem ,   Israel   (07.05.10)
Most Israelis are not against Turks as a people but against your Islamo-fascist and antisemitic regime. A reality-check wouldn't hurt regarding the military/technology balance between Turkey and Israel: last time I checked the technology flow went from Jerusalem to Ankara and not the other way around. Israel is Turkey's second most important provider of military technology after the US so I would be more humble if I were you. Turkey's military "accomplishments" are limited to genocide of 1,5 million Armenians and massacres of defenseless Kurds. People like you disgust me and are a bunch of racist hypocrites.
79. We Jews will NEVER apologize for defending ourselves.....
Eyal ,   Israel   (07.05.10)
against Islamo-fascists from the middle ages. Hell will freeze before Turkey will receive an "apology" for their own initiated aggression.
80. Number 66
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (07.05.10)
Why don't YOU cut ties with us, too, and stop posting on an Israeli website? Your surly vitriole would not be missed.
81. Do we at some stage need to import water from Turkey ?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (07.05.10)
82. Breaking Israel
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.05.10)
The message from everyone to Israel is clear ;Get on your knees and beg and when you are done beg some more and then we demand more concessions or else we will threaten and squeeze you some more. The Islamists are never treated this way by the West. This should awaken up Israel to the reality ? That is what the 'peace process' has always been about. Now we see the fait acompi with old friends telling israel to get on her knees or else. The peace proces was engineered to weaken Israel and it has been a stark raving success. Can Israel's leaders who have become experts at capitulation stand up to the pressure from mythical friends and foes alike ? Not without SEEKING the Holy One of Israel !
83. to#70 Karen
Marcelo ,   Berlin / Eurabia   (07.05.10)
who was talking about eurabia, turk? In case you would like to boycott EU, please, do it and by all means, but also take your landsmen with you, all of them, who don't belong here at all and split the society and increasy the hate due to your moslem roots...please, take them all....make the world a gib huge favor....
84. I hope that the suicidal Turkish government reads this forum
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.05.10)
...and understands that they are MORE THAN WELCOME to cut the ties. As a matter of fact, WE ARE ALL FED UP with their arrogant and racist masquerade. Enough is enough! Take your "embassy of hatred" from Israel and close the building. Maybe we should even open a Museum of Armenian Holocaust in the building after the staff has cleaned it. That would be a nice balance to their racist media incitement. After all, that's exactly what the Chinese did: they slapped the arrogant Erduan with an "Armenian Genocide" movie on the state TV and Erduan suddenly shut up and disappeared. Erduan tried that on the US and got slapped back by a "watch it or else" threat, and now he's back at Israel, hoping that he can show his "manhood" somehow, after being humiliated so many times - PUBLICLY. Well Erduan - don't hold your breath: you won't get any apology this time and you can take your embassy and what it represents these days and shove it up your legendary @$$. I don't hate the Turkish people - I don't even hate Erduan. I only pity them for the fateful bad choices they've been making recently. With every step with which they get closer to Iran and Syria, they are dooming themselves to a life of poverty, ignorance, hatred, lack of human rights and freedom. These are not the right ingredients for a bright and civilized future, as we can see by examining ALL the Muslim countries - with the notable exception of small Gulf States which still have enough oil money to afford to be civilized without actually having to WORK and CREATE anything. When oil dries up, and when all of us will be driving Echo-friendly cars, the Gulf States will also become tyrannies, because that's exactly what the Quran teaches its followers - submit to bloodthirsty tyrants or else! History doesn't lie. In the long run Jews have proven themselves more resilient than ALL the empires which attacked and committed genocide against them. Jews have out-lived the Roman, Egyption, Persian, Greek, Ottoman and British empires, and it will out-live Turkey and its new friends by far, regardless of how much money and racism Turkey and their new allies put into their plans of destroying Israel and the Jews. As Churchill once said: "We shall NEVER SURENDER"
85. #81 Today, Turkey export only racism and hatred!
(07.05.10)
Thankfully, Israel did not need to go through with the "water from Turkey" deal, and we'll soon be independent on that department too - at least for as long as the Mediterannean Sea keeps its current level. But I think that Erduan will lose the next elections anyway. Many Turks are fed up with this clown. Now he is busy with fixing his humiliation by the Americans and the Chinese. Of course many agitators and impersonators on this forum will try to convince us otherwise, but I'll just sit down, wait and see what new mistakes the current Turkish gov will do on its way to its own demise. The Turkish silent but powerful majority will know what to do when time comes ;)
86. T wants ties "they way they were before the raid"
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (07.05.10)
"Davutoglu said he wants ties between Turkey and Israel to be restored to the way they were before the raid." Here's sampling of how things were "before the raid": A series of anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli movie/TV productions ("Valley of the Wolves"); Erdogan's outburst at Davos; Turkey's refusal to allow Israeli participation in 2009 military exercises; threats over Israel's delayed delivery of drones (due to integration of Turkish components); and so on. Ah, the good old days...

89. To Karen of Turkey
Marion ,   NYC, USA   (07.05.10)
"Nazi genocide commited by the Jews in WW2"???????????? dear Karen, who should be learning history? You should be ashamed of your ignorance and keep it hidden. How dare you!! Perhaps you have heard of another REAL genocide -the Armenians' commited by your sacred, humane Turks - more recent - what about the Kurds?? you would do better to shut up.
90. turkey, don't wait up!
OZ   (07.05.10)
