If supporting a deliberate provocation complete with weapons, and airing soap operas demoninzing our population is the act of a friendly nation, who needs friends like these? When the Turkish people manage to oust the current backwards government, then we may be able to have friendly ties. Not now. Not till the Turkish government apologizes for their part in the provocation and for their nationals attacking our soldiers.

Israel's enemies be warned: Israel will never turn the other cheek. Turkey will never be a real friend for as long as it cooperates with Israel's mortal enemies: Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas. Turkey's friendship with these murderous and racist criminals means that Turkey supports a genocide against Israel. Israel will never be Armenia! Turkey's official media incitement, on-going blood libel and diplomatic provocations are not consistent with "friendship". Turkey is lying to the Americans because it is still dependent on their support, but let there be no doubt: under the corrent Islamist government, TURKEY HAS DECLARED ITSELF AN ENEMY OF ISRAEL, ACTS AS AN ENEMY IF ISRAEL AND ALLIES ITSELF WITH ISRAEL'S AND AMERICA'S WORST ENEMIES, despite its recent sweet talk. So if Turkey wants to prove its friendship to Israel, it has to ACT, nit talk, and meet the following conditions: 1. Cut its ties with Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas. 2. Stop its support for terror organizations. 3. Stop the incitement and blood-libels in Turkish media. 4. APOLOGIZE for and ACKNOWLEDGE the past provocations, especially the "Terror Flotilla". Only AFTER ALL these conditions are met, Turkey will be able to expect to be considered again a true friend of Israel. Until then, all the sweet words coming from Ankara are just that: empty lies, coming from the treacherous mouth if a mortal enemy.

Turkey has already burned the bridge. This started from before the Hate/terror Flotilla incident. Turkey has aligned itself with the axius of Evil: Syria-Iran-Hezbollah-Hamas-PLO/PA. They continue to do war crimes against Kurds and occupy Kurdish land. They use Israeli technology to kill Kurds now and have no doubt passed on Israeli tech to Iran, Syria, Hezbollah. Dangerousl

If your 'overture of Turkish friendship for Israel' isn't taqiyya...PROVE IT....Start by formally waiving your demand for us to apologise for the consequences of YOUR fortzilla, of YOUR provocation to 'your friend' You've seriously p*ssed us off already

...Obama's show of hostility toward the nation-state of the Jewish people. It did not start with the desire for confrontation through the IHH flotilla. As I recall, the attack at Israel's President, Shimon Perest in Davos took place long, long before the latest case. And the anti-Jewish/anti-Israel TV series aired on Turkish state television was planned long before the flotilla. But all of the above came after Obama's visit to Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt and his humiliating approach towards Israel's Prime Minister and show of hostility towards Israel's other elected officials, Israel's courts and in general against the Jewish people for whom Israel is its nation-state and the only sovereign home. The person who should repent is Obama...!!

a wolf in sheeps clothing

the pepole of israel' and the srate of israel do not need arodan or turky to their frainds.. you cant dance on tow wedeings at the same time mr. arodan!!

...are you friends with Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas? Then you are Enemy! Are you inciting against us? Then you are Enemy! Are you supporting Islamic Terror? Then you are Enemy! Your arrogance and condescence do not help. We will see Turkey as a self-declared enemy of Israel whatever it says, unless it acts to change. Israel is not part of the Ottoman Empire anymore and Turkish violence and arrogance do not impress us anymore. Turkey, get your act together or GET OUT!

Yes, the Turks under Erdogan have become anti-Israeli, but are they Israel's worst enemies? Obama denies the Jewish historical connection to Israel, denies Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state and doesn't see secure borders for Israel as a requirement for peace. Abbas is a holocaust denier. Both these men are worse than Erdogan, but are treated with more respect. Israel should be smart and try to develop an alliance with Iran and Turkey against Obama and the Arabs.

This is the best outcome that could have happened now lets just wait for someone else to replace Erdogan so they can cut ties with Hezbollah and Hamas.

Thank you for your ideas but... they are childish. Obama is indeed dangerous to Israel, but it never threatened to wipe it off with Nukes. Iran on the other hand says that every day, every hour. The majority of the American people supports Israel and, following the pathetic "performance" of Obama, this majority will replace him in the next elections. This will never happen in the Iranian Dictatorship, unless a new revolution takes place. Besides, I don't remember Ahmedinejad proposing an anti-American coalition with Israel. Do you? In my opinion you are either completely disconnected from reality, under drugs, or just another Islamist impostor, trying to seed self-destructing ideas, hoping that we'll make your impossible dreams of genocide, a reality. Either way, get lost!

Turkey needs to urgently meets the four conditions stated by talkbacker No.3 if it wants any improvement of relations with the state of Israel.

Turkey has long counted on Jews in US and their Israeli counterparts to support their interests in Washington, believing that "the road to Washington went through Jerusalem". Now they're sensing that dumping on Israel isn't cost-free. Yet they are so committed to their narrative - still claiming the incident was all Israel's fault, that their problem is "only" with Israel's government - that they're still demanding an apology and compensation! Forget getting into the EU. I think it's time Turkey's place in NATO was reassessed.

Keep bashing on Turkey and you will have no friends then the israily lobby in the US. And dont think that the american Emprie gonna last for ever to protect your behind. I Think you forget that the Israilis are the ones who killed Turkish citizens on open sea. If another country did that with Israilie citizens you would bomb them rightaway. So stop bashing on Turkey.

Please dont forget that the you are the ones who killed Turkish citizens on open sea. Stealing all the flotilla members equipment (laptops,cams,phones, wallets,etc..) When the jewish people magane to oust the racist israily government then perhaps we could be firends again. You guys realy must be from Mars completely lost the realy in this woldl

Iran has never attacked Israel, and the Persians never had a war with the Jews. These two peoples are traditional allies. Ahmadinejad has nothing to gain and everything to lose by actually attacking Israel. His only real enemies are the US and Saudi Arabia, so he uses Israel as a pawn against them. Saudi Arabia is interested in ethnically cleansing the Middle-East of all non-Arabs, and the evidence is that Obama agrees. And face it, there is no chance that the Saudis could ever accept the existence of Israel. As long as Israel is America's lackey, the American's will treat Israel like dirt, telling Olmert to enter through the back entrance, Clinton calling Netanyahu on Shabbat to berate him, Bidet standing Netanyahu up for dinner, or Obama talking to Netanyahu with his shoes on the table. When Israel shows some independence, the Americans will start showing some respect.

A bit pretentious from you to claim you are a citizen of the world when you display total ignorance. First correct your spelling mistakes...I bet you are a muslim from the way you spell. So in short, as one american muslim on the BBC said the other day: WE the moderate muslims have to take responsibility publically and stand gainst the interpretation of Jihad ( as your friends from the Turkish flotila interprted!) and not stay silent... are you ready to do it???

Persia was a relativly ally to ancient jhodia but this isnt persia anymore ITS IRAN. Unlike persia's respect to all religions Iran is a radical islamist country that wants the destruction of israel more then saudi arabi, more then obama, more then egypt, and more then most arabs. Obama is no enemy to israel and neither is the US the fact he doesnt support us like bush doesnt mean he is an enemy.

You must be a jew attacking people personally instead of coming with arguments dont you think? Dont forget that Turkey was the first muslim country to recognize the Jewish state. When you gonna stand up against your racist jewish government and not gonna stay silent ... are you ready to do that ???

They seem to think the Govt is separated from the Israeli people? How naive is that.Turkey's Erdogan should remember the Israeli Public and its Government are BOTH THE SAME Anot a separate entity. Erdogn please keep your unwanted friendship giving with one hand slapping the other. That you are cynically tring to make friends is fine by Israel.BUT NO PRECONDITIONS will ever be acceptable.You began your adventure and yiou are stuck with it. IWILL REMIND YOU ERDOGAN THE ISRAELI PUBLIC AND THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT ARE JOINED AT THE HIP AND WILL NEVER BE SEPARATED.By the same token would your people separate themselves from your Islamicism? YOU ARE MERELY PROJECTING. Jews are older than Islam by at least 2000 years.Therefore we are not fooled by you and yours. Friendship is a two way street.You chose A ONE WAY STREET.Live with it.But not Israel thanks

Dis-moi qui tu frequentes – je te dirais qui tu hais. Exactly right..Turkey is now out of bounds by making all the wrong decisions of his latest friends with: IRAN SYRIA,HAZBOLLAH ,LEBANON . Let him live with it.Arrogance is their mode theyseem to tink are living from th etime of the ancient empire days? Well tough,people have moved on and you are still stuck (as with the rest of th eIslamists) in the 7th century .

And you are definitely a Turk who may be living in Holland. You must also be an extreme religious one with not much education based on the way you spelled "israily".

Egypt does not matter, Saudi Arabia wants and needs the destruction of any non-muslim non-arab group in land they consider Wakf like Israel. Obama does not care about Israel one way or the other, he cares about Saudi Arabia. The Saudis say they need an ethnically-pure Arab state called Palestine and a mixed state with an Arab Muslim majority called Israel, he agrees. I disagree that Iran wants to destroy Israel because they gain nothing from it. I think they want to destroy Saudi Arabia because they are Sunnis, they have oil, and they financed Saddam's murder of more than 1 million Iranians with gas and missiles.

You Muslims are the biggest racist in the world.How many mosques in Europe,Israel,USA, and non Muslims countries.The answer is THOUSANDS. How many SYNAGOGUES,TEMPLES, CHURCHES,in Saudi Arabia.the answer is 00000000ZEROOOOOO. Can Christians celebrate X'MAS & EASTER HOLIDAYS in Saudi.the answer is will go to jail. Who is the racist BROTHER OR SISTER

I appreciate the Turkish people, but I don't appreciate the direction their priminister is taking them..and talking about racism? don't make me laugh ! when is the last time , if ever, you have looked at the school books and education system of the palestinian authority??? They can teach you a lot about "racism" (have you heard about the "protocols od zion"?) you consider yourself lucky to live in an open and democratic society like Holland. You want to talk about racism ? how about the murder of Van-Goh in Holland ? HOW ABOUT AN "INFIDEL" LIKE ME TRYING TO COMMENT ON AN iRANIAN? OR SERIAN WEB SITE? CAN i DO IT??

If saudi wants israel dead so much then why did they let israel make an airbase in their teretory? As for obama remember USA is a close ally, always was and always wil be. 1 president cant change that and it doesnt seem as if his even trieng to do it. Iran will gain alot from marking israel as an enemy- make an ally palastinian state, ally Iran with many other muslim countries and best of all after Israel is gone the muslim world would be free to work on India, USA, more on turkey and ofc europe.
