Omri ,   Israel   (11.30.10)
2. Davutoglu: Lying Sack of Sheet
izzie irgun ,   zion   (11.30.10)
Typical anti semtic denial .. we love jews just hate Israel. Tell me the difference between that and a klan member saying he has a black friend. Truth is that Erdogen's government is clearly anti semitic and their desire to restrict Israelis, aka Jews, from owning land is proof. Talk about an arparthid state ... anyway, turkey is just conforming to muslim morns .. hate jews, hate Israel , hate infidels ... seek world domination. Reality is that Turkey has become a radical Islamic state in the fold of Syria and Iran. And if Davutoglu and Erdogen think that Israel will hesitate to take on Turkey it interferes in the Middle East they are sadly mistaken. Turkey's true intent is out in the open and no one in Europe or NATO trusts them any more. They are becoming pyriaahs in Europe and they will pay a heavy price for it unless they go back to some sort of secular society.
3. they don't hate israel, just want to help in destroying it
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.30.10)
tough love, you could say.
4. TURKISH FM:We dont hate Israel
JUDAH THE LION   (11.30.10)
but Turkey will note beSILENT if ISRAEL attack Lebanon or any Arab Country. They LOVE ISRAEL and Turkey will send an army to defend and help Israel. TWISTED MIND OF DAVUTOGKLU
5. davogolu and erdogan lies
alexi   (11.30.10)
You have to know this about Turkey-lies are truths depending on the day of the week and turkish honor canard. In real terms, both of them are criminal liars. Turkish honor, thehonor of the ottomans is used as a tactic to gain concessions. to show you what I mean, consider that dovotgolu recently told a conference of moslems that israel was an illegitmate state that would be replaced by a binational palestine which would be ruled and guaranteed by turkey. Compare this with what is reported in the article. Rafael Sadi, a former school friend of erdogan, says that erdogan uses his israel hate speech to win popular support. The Wikileak US cables show that he is insulated from real world events by his sycophantic islamic advisors so he looks at the video of the marmora rappelling and sees israel brutality. Lest you think it is only arabs and moslems who engage in lies are truths and honor canard, lool at the recent behaviour of olmert: 1) he maintained to shas that he was not negotiating jerusalem 2) when questionned over his corrupition charges bythe cops at his Jeruslame residence, he would say you cannot talk to the PM that way and then feigned illness and spent time in the washroon to reduce the number of questions during the allotted time period. 3) Given erdogan's ill treatment of israel and his coziness with syrian and now hezbollah, Olmert still says use him as a conduit to return the golan. 4) When livni complained to him during the hezbollah war that he was not including her in his now proven disastrous decisions, he said to her ..lady, can't you see I am talking to the chief of staff... I am the PM. Bibi's criticque of olmert on his STUPID decisioins and inability to take casualties was right on as only winograd came to the same conclusion. barnea,v erter, benn, oz, haber, peres,beilin all supported olmert in his conduct. Olmert is in the same league as erdogan and JEWS should admit this and never let him near power again-Olmert is a chronic liar, who manipulates the truth, and who has zero abilities to think through a security/military issue. His first instinct is to make concessions in the hope that the problem will be bandaged. Israelis should be very wary of livni, laid or any other golden candidate. Israel cannot afford to make a mistake. And learn from recent history that withdrawals and concessions do not bring peace.
6. Let's look at their actions
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.30.10)
They announce their support of terrorism against Israel. They launch a terrorist flotilla to attack Israel. They are attempting to pass an apartheid law to prevent Israelis from buying land in Turkey. Are Martians inhabiting Ankara where all these anti-Semitic actions are just taking place without any involvement from the Turkish government? I hardly believe that.
7. Another Wikileak ?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (11.30.10)
8. It makes sense.
John ,   London   (11.30.10)
About the other comments. He did not say he loved Israel. He said ''we don't hate Jews'', we dislike ''the government''. If one cannot make a difference between a country, it's population and it's government then seriously they should stop reading journals and politics. BTW, saying that the whole world is anti-semitic is annoying and FUELS anti-semitism.
9. of course they donot if any body else done to turkey
turkman ,   istanbul   (11.30.10)
what Israel did you should have seen war but we in turkey look at israel as a little spoiled boy or girl with aggressive tendencies so we take it easy on her just because she the dayghter of our big friend the usa but as this girl grow up she will be paying for her action regardless who her Daddy is
10. Hate Israel.
Ezra ,   Florida   (11.30.10)
Really? you could have fooled me. In any case, with friends like yours, we do not need enemies.
11. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.30.10)
So how would you characterize Turkey's slaughter of innocent Armenians in the last century? How would you characterize the ongoing slaughter of innocent Kurds in Turkey? I think most people would agree that both are indicative of Turkey's aggressive tendencies. You live in a glass house, dear. You should be a little more careful about throwing stones.
12. Love Hate Relationship
Yilmaz ,   US   (11.30.10)
Reading the above comments of the concerned citizens who love Kurds and Armenians and hate Turkey, I am thinking, if Erdogan hates Israel, I believe he just hates back. Try a little love next time.
13. #9
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (11.30.10)
Can you please explain why did you send a bunch of crazy terrorists looking for martyrdom to a little spoiled child?
14. to n° 8
d goldblatt ,   Paris   (11.30.10)
I don't buy the argument over distinguishin between Israel and its citizens in as much as Israel is a democractic country whose citizens elected the curent government. You an make this argument only re. a non-democratic country.
15. mmmm...
pini ,   usrael   (11.30.10)
and thats why Turkey is passing a bill making it illegal for israelis to buy property in their country. Mmmm ok ya..
16. Turkey should worry more about violating international law..
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.01.10)
... and less about what others, like Israel, think of it!
17. Turkey to Israel: We don't hate you but...
Adam Helberg ,   USA   (12.01.10)
to paraphrase Peter Lorre: I'm sorry but we must kill you.
18. "Disagreeing with the Israeli Government"
Jonathan ,   London UK   (12.01.10)
This catchphrase seems to be the modern equivalent of "Some of My Best Friends Are Jewish". Its ever so reassuring that in the 21st C, political antisemitism in the guise of "disagreements" maintains an air of not just acceptability but is even the centre of the progresssive agenda. Of course, all these disagreements with the abstract "government" will be taken out on the "agreeable" people on the ground. So whats the difference?
19. wether you like us or not israel exist am israel hai
dovdevan ,   paris,france   (11.30.10)
we don't trust you and erdogan the islamist who is backing hamas hezbollah iran and syria . you decided to LOOK eastward where your natural influence zone is . you think you can rebuild the ottoman empire on the back of israel you are wrong !!!
20. LOVE ISRAEL TO DEATH HONEST
turkman ,   ISTANBUL   (12.01.10)

21. if turkey were attacked from the rear?
meyer ,   israel/holland   (12.01.10)
if turkey were attacked by russia , from the rear, would greece help?
22. What a stupid commnet!
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.01.10)
We don't hate them but we'll help anyone who hates them. And we'll be quite when others attack them. But we'll keep talking if they attack. They should call it middle age and not middle east.
23. Sure, friends always ambush friends
BH ,   Iowa   (12.01.10)
By the way how's your tourism doing?

28. #9,12&20 Jerky boys
Hal ,   Usa   (12.01.10)
Your daddy is from Central Asia. Go back there where you belong and give Greece back their land!
29. Coulda Fooled Us!
Dallas ,   Canada   (12.01.10)

30. LOOK IN THE MIRROE
AMERICAN ,   Los Angeles   (12.01.10)
