I hope that things will get better between the two countries and for Erdogan to return home but the protest is legitimate and not violant and I really think its important for the israelis to make a point and say that we will not accept this behavior from the Turkish government or any other government

The mayor of antalya opposes the boss's policy.How long will he still be mayor?? The Anti Israel anti semetic policy of turkey is the OFFICIAL POLICY there will not be friendly relations again

for presidency and Erdogan to circus with dancing chimpanzees and everything will be as it was before, only much more entertaining.

You'll have to get PM Erdogan to make a public apology to the Israelis and to our President Peres for his biased and humiliating behavior and remarks, first before I'd consider visiting again.

Once the word gets out that Israelis are no longer going to Antalya, many others will flock there to enjoy its beaches if they know that the rude and arrogant ones will not be showing up. Have patience, there are many nice people to whom you can court.

I respect you, you sounds like a decent guy, yet you cannot expect people, who were spit upon, to be making their way back, surely with the current Anti-Israeli policy.

theGreek islands, got a great deal with a casino.The Turks cant get my money never again.The Turks burn my Israelie flag,they say they hate the Jews.On the shop doors is written,no Israelies children killers.

As we all know, the arab terrorists have a huge presence in Turkey, pretty much with a majority support of their terror-islamic, palestinian-supporting, virulently anti-Jewish and anti-Israel populace. It is a disease of (nazi) propaganda indoctrination which has bread several generations of violent muslims throughout the middle east, not just in Turkey. This fanaticism, all based on lies, has fed into the terror-islamic kidnappings & murders of Jews, Israelis, INNOCENTS, usually without a favorable outcome.

...packed with buy-buy Israelis a decade ago, and I am certainly not interested now!

How come this protest/boycott works and any atempt to protest/boycott of israeli establishments won't ?

...money, and this is not good enough for us, Jews!!! Your prime minister, backed up by his government and most of the parliament, has humiliated our president, Shimon Peres. Your state run TV producers have developed and aired anti-Semitic series that border on a blood libel against Jews. Your public was ready to lynch our sportsmen and women in when they came to play in Turkey. You better clean your collective act before we, Jews, from Israel and elsewhere, will show our faces in your country. P.S. And, by the way, we also expect you and your prime minister to apologize to us, to the Armenian people, to the Kurdish people and to the Cypriot people for your disgusting, brutal and genocidal acts against all of these people.

If you want turist,don't vote for islamo-fashists.

mind all along.

Something very wrong with you, to hang around this site. Are you a masochist ? Go and join your moron friends and stay away

Let me remind you mustafa incase you don't know jews they never forget and they never forgive please honor your leader he's hero

Now, they both are anti-Israel. Goes to show that you can't trust Muslims and that the conflict is with Islam not Arabs per se.

Turkey continues drawing closer to their Syrian and Iranian allies, even exposing sensitive Israeli technology to them - the stuff Israel should not be selling to them. The Turkish government continues to insult, demean, libel and incite against Israel. Any Israeli Jew who nonetheless returns to Turkey because of a "good deal" has no self-respect. OK, so the mayor sees there's an economic cost to the Turkish campaign, but others in Turkey (including some talkbackers) insist they don't need the Israelis, that others (including Israeli Arabs) will take their place. Can't have it both ways.

p.m. erdogan is in office, and not until he appologizes for his anti-semetic behavior. With friends like him who needs enemies.

the mayor only wants your money nothing more israelies are not welcomed as long as they dont apologize simple as that stay where you are

I wonder who are your real friends in the world the Germans , Americans , Arabs or Muslims i feel dizzy and sick about this racism

you won't see me in Turkey

Oh! You like our Zionist money. Enjoy your FIBA hosting. It will be the last one. You can go ahead and ask Mahmmod and c/o to fill up your beaches. Ot just ask for money upfront form him.

On the one hand, Akaydin says " the Israelis' money is not as important as the friendly relations between both nations." Than on the other hand he says, " Antalya's economy is dependent on tourism, particularly from Israel," I think what he is trying to say is, "why, some of my best friends are Jewish (as long as they stay away from my daughter!)"
