1. What about the 9 months that Abbas wasted?
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (12.21.10)
Abbas wasted 9 of the 10 month freeze, and only when it became apparent that Bibi was going to keep his promise to resume building did Abbas start talking. Where is the blame for Abbas' wasting the 9 months he could have used to negotiate boarders to prevent the need for a new freeze?
2. HOW ERDOGAN RESEMBLES NASRALLAH
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (12.21.10)
They can both lie with a cheerful smile on his face. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL
3. Lets See Now...
Edward ,   New York USA   (12.21.10)
Abbas has declared that the PA will not compromise on territory or consider territorial exchanges, will not give up the right of return for refugees, want all of Eastern Jerusalem, will not allow Jews to own property or reside in the PA territory, still sponsors incitement and delegitimization, will not allow an IDF presence, and last but not least will not talk directly with Israel. In other words Abbas, like Erdogan doesn't want a negotiated settlement he wants Israeli surrender and the eventual dismantlement of the State of Israel. This will never happen!
4. Moron

(12.21.10)
terrorist organizations??? what are they going to do? fight and kill more kurds that want their independence??? the armenians are already gone, turkey. you finished off 1 million and more of them. now you go for the kurds together with syria and call these people terrorists???? you might as well fight the real terror organizations like hamas and hizbullah. but maybe you do not consider them terror organizations??? the netire world has both these on their major terror lists. the stage and players of the surreal world. but what can one expect of muslims and islamists. they are bound together by a murderous ideology and xenophobia.
7. Little weenie whiny erDOGan.
GOOD ,   USA   (12.21.10)

14. talk about intransigence
ezer   (12.21.10)
Hey Erdogan. We are still waiting for you to declare that Turkey committed genocide against Armenians. We are also waiting for Turkey to cease occupying North Cyprus and to cease torturing the Kurds.
15. Israel-Arab Peace Plan Principles
Mark Bernadiner ,   Pearland, USA   (12.21.10)
Starting in 1948 from very first day of recreation of the State of Israel on the part of Israel territory, Arab countries waged several wars to eliminate Israel from her historic land. Israel won all wars and now Arab countries propose a peace agreement with Israel under conditions, which they intended to dictate. However, only Israel, who won all the wars and defeated Arab countries, has legal rights to formulate and dictate peace agreement terms and conditions, which, in general, shell include the following provisions: 1. Palestinian muslims must compensate Jews for damages caused by Jews massacres (actually, it was Holocaust) conducted in Palestine in 1920s-1930s under British administration supervision, for providing Hitler with idea of Final Solution and for taking active part in implementing the idea in Europe. 2. Arab countries must compensate Israel for damages inflicted on Israel during wars launched by Arab countries. 3. Arab countries must compensate several million Jews expelled from Arab countries between 1948 and 1953, where they lived for centuries, for violation of international law and stealing Jewish properties. 4. Arab countries must recognize “Article 24 of the 1964 PLO charter addressed to UN, which stipulates: Palestinian muslims do not claim Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza their territories” which gives Israel full legal rights to remove muslims from occupied Israel land of Palestine. 5. Arab countries must comply with Geneva Convention, which recognizes Israel rights on Gaza, Judea and Samaria, historic Jewish land liberated by Israel in 1967 war from Jordan and Egypt occupation. 6. Arab countries must recognize Jerusalem as historic Israel capital. 7. Egypt and Jordan are obligated to relocate Palestinian muslims (their former citizens) from Gaza (Egypt), Judea and Samaria (Jordan) inside their territories within 1 (negotiable) year term. 8. Arab countries have no right to develop or acquire WMD or weapon that can be used against Israel. If any Arab country denies this peace terms and conditions, Israel has full legal rights for preemptive strike against this country using all available military power. All islamofascism organizations operating on Israel territory occupied by palestinian muslims, such as PLO&Fatah (created after WWII on the principles of Hitler’s ideology and with close ties to Nazi party and SS), Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Agsa Brigade, and Hezbullah must be totally, unconditionally, and immediately exterminated. All other Palestinian muslims must be relocated from Israel to Jordan, country created by britain in 1922 on stolen Israel land (britain stole over 77% of Israel territory) specifically for palestinian muslims. As the past agreement made by british and french idiots with Hitler clearly shows that any agreements with those who preoccupied with idea of global Caliphate is suicidal, the only logical solution is preemptive, total, and merciless extermination of Palestinian islamofascism organizations.
16. Erdogan
Haim ,   Hod Hasharon ISRAEL   (12.21.10)
Another Turkoish terrorist on the block When will these idiots learn to tell the truth. You can fool some of the people some of the time you cannot fool all of the people all of the time!!!
17. erDOGan's Turkey is a TERROR STATE.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (12.21.10)
This buffoon poses the greatest danger to Israel and the whole of Europe - we all now have a terrorist supporting state in our midst! It beggars belief Turkey is still part of NATO - all secrets will be passed on to the Irans and North Koreas of the world. BEWARE!
18. Teach your Arab brother Abbass & Arab League to
Martin ,   SA   (12.21.10)
Negotiate. They have a stone wall plan. Its boring after a while. Erdgn havent you got enough problem in Turkey. Concern yourself with uplifting all people u rule. Rather stay out of this. Intrasigence is your middle name. We look to better role models. Whom are your role model?. You'r showing weakness by being so angry. Perhaps the job you have is difficult. Try doing something else and learn to listen. Erdgn you talk past us all the time. We find it difficult to engage in meaningful discussions with u. You are no different to Abbass & the Arab league whom regular resolutions which in effects instructs Abbass to talk but negotiate. We still have our own misguided politicians whom have to impress the US Administration by instituting a de facto freeze. Stooges all of them. Photography has changed in the Middle East say FREEZE ye what a beutiful shot. We need to wake up. Is this freeze story the way to go? I doubt it. We need to move on, pleaase.
19. Settlement freeze in Cyprus
Egon B.E. Friberger ,   Brussels, Belgium   (12.21.10)
It is about time the EU, the USA and the UN, among others, (i.) insist with more vehemence on a settlement freeze in the occupied territories of Cyprus, (ii.) give a broad outline of the principles based upon which there (ii.a.) the frontiers will be determined, let alone (ii.b.) upon which they should be granted, and (iii.) remind the world of the fact that both India and Pakistan, among others, notwithstanding outstanding issues, have been dynamic and fair enough to build a viable state during the past 60 years. Those who have wasted the time and opportunity, why are they so much in a hurry all of a sudden? The bare perversity of their primitive drives is a reason in itself to put their subjects in the fridge but is most of all an unmasking disgrace to any state, politician or opinion maker encouraging such primitive, destructive drives. Because of the obvious political and historical anomalies, they are as such a disgrace to the entities they represent. But to stay focused: it is time for a settlement freeze in occupied Cyprus. And for acute freedom of opinion close protection and rescue programs. Especially now that Turkey's regiopolitical frivolity no longer looks like Aphrodyte.
20. With each crazy outburst and colorful (but empty) threat.
Eran ,   Singapore   (12.21.10)
With each crazy outburst and colorful (but empty) threat, The Turkish PM is sounding more and more to Western ears like his friend Ahmedinejad. I'm waiting for the day when he will declare the mother of all wars on America, the Zionist entity, and all of their allies
21. Erdogan
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.21.10)
Let him bark,he is toothless.
22. Who Care What This Shmuck Says
Dan ,   USA   (12.22.10)
23. I don't see either side trying to compromise for peace
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (12.22.10)
PA maybe better off declaring a one bi-national state of Israel and ask for fully citizenship. That would put them at 45% of population with left firmly in power and if only small percent of refugees from other countries returned they would soon be at 50%. Would a Muslim PM of Israel change things much?
24. Arsonist Erdogan
Dr.Ludwig ,   Belgium   (12.22.10)
Fanatic islamist Erdogan will unfortunately continue to provoke.For him is no problem to belong to a country wich is responsable for the genocide on 1,5 mill. Armenians and the killing of 40000 Kurds.He want to be an islamic leader.NATO and the European Com. don't need such dangerous people.

25. Erdogan, the empty suit. Blah blah blah.
Brad ,   USA   (12.22.10)
26. to #23
Brad ,   USA   (12.22.10)
1) Israel doesn't have to compromise. 2) Israel is in their own land. 3) Would a monkey brain between your ears, make that much of a difference?
27. Attacking Israel-Cyprus pact: Erdogan's looniness is showing
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (12.22.10)
Erdogan's Gaddafi-like irrationality and pro-Iran noises has attracted the US Congress, which is firing a shot over his bow with another stern Armenian Genocide resolution. Erdogan's Turkey, which illegally occupies Northern Cyprus (which unlike the PLO, never attacked Turks), has the loony gall to denounce Israel's defensive occupation of PLO-claimed land to prevent more rocket attacks. Even loonier, he threatens Israel and Cyprus with "naval intervention" over their sea bed economic zone treaty, demanding a share of the income for North Cyprus, which on the one hand has NO coast anywhere near the Israel-southern Cyprus economic zone, and thus no claim, but on the other hand, rejects the authority of the southern Cyprus government - Erdogan laughably thinks he can have it both ways!!!! This is Gaddafi-style irrationality and wildness is telling the US Congress to dump wild-card Turkey as an ally and NATO member before Erdogan starts a war with US-supplied weapons, If this continues, Congress will yank Turkey's F-35 deal, which they can do whether Obama likes it or not.
28. IT'S NOT ONLY ERDOGAN BUT...
AMERICAN ,   Los Angeles   (12.22.10)
all the turks that votes for him.Without the support of the turkish people he''ll never be even known.Turks are real friends with the muslims,not with infidels
29. what is the deal
pini ,   usrael   (12.22.10)

30. this quote is awsome
pini ,   usrael   (12.22.10)
"Our final goal is for the peace and friendship to expand to the whole region wave by wave," Erdogan said. haha, ya.
