Erdogan is just doing what despots have always done when there are problems at home.They find a foreign Aunt Sally for the discontented to vent their anger and frustration on. For Erdogan,Israel is tailor made. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Loved the comment.

for YHWH, my refuge and my high tower, my strength and my avenger. You think that is hate. It is not. Hate is when you avenge yourself instead of waiting on YHWH to avenge you. Do you think King David's life was consumed with hate because he wanted YHWH to avenge him on his enemies? No. That is not hate. YHWH avenges in love of the person He loves who was harmed. The Apostle Paul asked YHWH to avenge him on Alexander the Coppersmith who did him much evil. Did that mean Paul's life was consumed with hate? No, it did not. It meant Paul wanted Alexander the Coppersmith to go to hell. He put that in YHWH's hands to avenge him. That is love, to ask YHWH to avenge you instead of avenging yourself.

I agree with you a hundred percent. So many Christains only know the one side of God. God is merciful but He is also revengful to the unjust.

DEAR RIKVAH - WHY DO YOU THEN WAIT FOR HIS AVENGE -? YOU DONT SEEMS TO BE FREE FROM IT, AS IT STILL LINGERS IN YOUR PERSONALITY, AND YOUR LIFE STILL SUFFERS FROM IT ? I SUPPOSE IT WAS MANY YEARS AGO IT HAPPENED ? THE Elohim CREATED MAN AND WOMEN IN HIS IMAGE - IF YOU WOULD BE BLESSED BY THE RESURECTIONAL POWER OF GOD IN JESUS CHRIST, RISING YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND TO LIFE AS MAN AND WOMAN AGAIN, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THIS IS NOT AN UGLY THING BUT A BLESSING. YHWH avenges in love of the person He loves who was harmed. YEHOWAH THE SHEEPHERDER, KILLS THE ATACKING WOLF, NOT BECAUSE OF HATE TO THE WOLF, BUT BECAUSE OF LOVE TO THE SHEEP. THIS IS NOT AN AVENGE, BUT A PREMTIVE STRIKE. WELL - I AM NOT LORD OVER YOUR FAITH, BUT, IF YOU ARE FREE AS I THINK YOU ARE NOT, YOU CAN THANK YEHOWAH FOR HIS AVENGE AND LEAVE IT THERE. BECAUSE IF ONE IS FREE, ONE DONT WISH FOR AVENGE ON FORMER EVILDOERS ABOUT ONESELF, BECAUSE ONE REALISES ONE IS AN EVILDOER ONESELF, AND DESERVES PUNISHMENT. BUT SINCE I AM AN CHRISTIAN, JESUS MY CHRIST AND LORD TOOK THE PUNISHMENT FOR MY SINS. ANYWAY - GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND - IN JESUS CHRIST MY LORD, Arn.

cause he is barking mad

take delight in the death of the wicked or in sending the wicked who reject Him to hell. But He is angry at the wicked every day and when His rage gets to a certain point, it takes many years for his fury to spend itself. I am like God in that it takes many years for my fury at the wicked to burn itself out. But there are some crimes that the fury at them cannot burn itself out until one is comforted by seeing the souls of those who harmed God's people in torment in hell. Evangelist Perry Stone said there is a window in the Dead Sea that the eternally saved can peer through to see the souls of the wicked dead in torment. That is a comfort, just as King David was comforted when YHWH showed him the fate of his enemies. Would you call David a hater? He was a man after God's own heart. He wanted the wicked to repent but they would not. For decades I asked the family of the devil who harmed my life to pay a settlement as a sign of repentance and they would not even so much as answer a letter, they were so entrenched in wickedness and unrepentance. So when the wicked do not repent, I take comfort in their eternal damnation. YHWH lets the wicked live long lives in some cases because He knows their fate is eternal torment. Do you think Moses and Joshua were downhearted when Pharoah drowned? Were they sad their enemy was dead? Heck, no. They rejoiced at YHWH"s vengeance not only on Pharoah but his whole army.

Sane people in positions of authority? I guess you have eliminated most of your friends from the arguement, felinus ignoramus. It sems that you are making a threat in the form of an Erdogan. Since there would be no reason for Israel to attack Lebanon unprovoked, you are fishing in troubled waters. Since you are another of the shameless cheerleaders for the Iranian Thugocracy, you are ingaging in cheap thrills when you threaten Israel. Believe me when I tell you that if your corpulant turbaned moron decides to pull another 2006 episode, no one, not your beloved nation of Iranocus tyranicus, Syrianna, Turkey or any other state will do a damned thing when Israel does the full-monty retalliation on this horriblly overweight troll. Too bad for Lebanon that no one there has invested 50 cents on the bullet that would put an end to this baboon. Persian, again you are out of your element. Take your cheerleading to the Taliban soccer fields of Afganistan. At least there they hang people for sport. Something as a frequent poster of Islamic nonsense you might appreciate.

They killed all these ppl 1915. HE WAS NOT EVEN BORN THEN! How can it be his fault? Erdagon is a fucking hero, who is not gonna take bulshit from Israel anymore. Most of the world will support Egypt and Lebanon if it is going to be war. GO ERDAGON!!!!!!

1-Turkish military would not move a finger for Arabs. It is those Arabs who backstabbed and massacred Turks in collaboration with the British, French and Armenians during WWI. 2-Turkish military would not follow Erdogan's decision as they are rivals. Turkish military seems quite now, but when it comes to a war decision for Arabs, only a few religious lunatics would die for Arabs, not Turkish military and not Turks. Erdogan is a Gruzni and his wife is Arab&Armenian. Abdullah Gul the President is a Kurd&Armenian. Their mentalities are not Turk despite them being ctizens of Republic of Turkiye. The real Turks are the biggest anti-Arabs. 3-To Salma. Palestinians are receiving what they deserve after their backstabbing in WWI and after their support to Kurdish and Armenian terrorist organizations against Turks. 4-Erdogan is just trying to capture Arab money and markets. It is too easy to fool Arabs, all you need is to bash Israel and broadcast some low-level TV shows for Arabs. Then enjoy Arabs money...This is what Erdogan is doing now. Otherwise, Turks and Jews are the real brothers, people must read history to understand this.

Using your own words: erdogan may be fucking.. but maybe only his wife, but he is certainly no hero. !!! He is a boot licker to some of the Arabs liek Hizbolla and others. I am sure that The Armenias and the Kurds agree that Erdogan is a fucker.. but not a hero. Hope they publish my response... too many f..word?? By the way Agnes , is the freezing weather in Iceland frezing your brain... have a great day !!!!!

Hope more decent Turkish people will join you against this mental sick man erdogan.You asre right the arabs hsave stabbed the Turkish empire, and you cannot trust arabs,they will do it again.

How is Iceland now a days? dead

This ambitious little man has dreams of rebuilding the Ottoman empire and Turkey taking a leading role over the Muslims. I suggest they remember what it was the last time under Turkish rule, less than 100 years ago. As for the verbal attacks, what pre-emptive shallow crap! But let us not underestimate this fanatic buying in to what he perceives as the popular trend.

I arab countries are weak, and cannot fulfil their duties toward muslims in Gaza, south bank and Lebanon. Then some one has to act.

Turkey was always known as the "Sick Man of Europe" Erdogan continues to prove that they're still sick Turkey should keep in mind that Israel isn't the helpless Armenians, or the Kurdish Minority that they've bombed in Northern Iraq He should take his hanky, wipe his nose and keep it out of what doesn't concern him

Like Babbo did, Babbo's went bankrupt, so will Erdogan and his efforts He only proves that Turkey is still the "Sick man of Europe" Seinfeld had a good long run, Ergodan's will be much shorter

Shut up. See if the Armenians and the Kurds believe you, you idiot.

wrong, either. At the beginning of the 1900's was the alleged genocide of Armenians by Turks. In the 1980's, many decades later, a young Turkish woman was selected as Azalea Queen in Norfolk, Virginia, for the NATO Command pageant. This young girl had nothing to do with killing Armenians and was born many decades after the conflict between the Armenians and the Turks. But she was terrorized at every appearance by Armenian protesting a Turkish Azalea Festival Queen. The Armenians need to look at themselves to see why the Turks hated them so. My experience is that Armenians are not human, so they must be Nephillim, part fallen angel and part human in their blackness of heart and soul. Ancient Canaanites were Nephillim as were Philistines and Goliath and his brothers were examples of Philistine Nephillim. Philistines are now called Palestinians. Palestinians and Armenians and some other races are likely not all human which is why they are so evil.

It's a nonsense having this radical muslim in Nato.For sure.in case of conflict between the west and Iran he will act as a trojan horse.

Glad to here from a reasonable Turk like you once in a while. It keeps to believe that there is still hope for Turkey to get back on Ataturk's path. And BTW your subject line "Istanbul Istanbul' reminded me of an old song from Mark Aryan (You may b e too young to remember)

Ataturk's followers in Turkiye haven't disappeared yet, and will not disappear either. I'm in my 20s, my grandparents and parents built and worked for this country, I will not leave my dear country in the hands of Arab wannabe corrupt Islamists. Of course things are not easy especially with Erdogan's fascism, but at least the half of Turkish population are aware of Erdogan&co's intentions and wrongdoings. Dear David Israel, you are right, I didn't know this song and Mark Aryan. I've just listened to 'Istanbul Istanbul' online now...Wow!...what a nice song. Thank you for that. Today, the sun is shining and the sky is bright in Istanbul, I'll be enjoying raki, meze, music, friendship, and of course beautiful Istanbul views. Istanbul'dan saygilar...

Acting and doing are two entirely two different things Erdogan will lose more than a boat if he acts against Israel, he's gonna get his teeth kicked in Arab countries had attacked Israele in the past, they lost, If Erdogan tries, hei''ll wind up with the same results

Are you awake or is this whole experiment is turning into a bad nightmare!?!?!?

Due to Erdogans obvious hostility against Israel, people of Israel are able to understand how greeks were feeling all those years facing the turkish expansionism. All israelis are welcome to Greece. During WW2 greeks fought against the nazi regime who tried to annihilate jews too, while turks were siting and watching which side will prevail in order to go with that. Now you feel first hand how is it to deal with turkish foreign policy.The turkish people are kind , but their foreign policy is ruthless.Their real intentions about Greece can be understood, if you watch the scenario of Efes 2010 invasion excercise.Now you also have to prepare your strict countermeasures as we have already done.

Speaking of experiments #zero, Dr Frankenstein is looking for you. It seems that you gave him the slip when he went out for a cigarette. Another day another Iranian nightrmare. Are you awake or are you still in the Nightmare Republic of Iran?

Listen to your historical ally. Probably it is the result of what you people have been doing with other human beings
