33. #28-Jews DONT hate Turks.Its Erdogan trying to be good Islam
Alan ,   SA   (01.18.11)
icist. He wants to re establish the glory of last Khalifa. He needs to vilify Israel to boost his prestige . So DONT write Jews hatred for Turks . We Jews been pushed around enough!We dont need nonsense from Erdogan . Last week he asked Germany for apology. Who is next . Nothing wrong with Turks-some of my best friends are Turkish.
34. Erdogan can scream and shout
EU Citizen   (01.18.11)
In frustration, but the truth is, he and Turkey will never be accepted into the EU full stop. Not even in his dreams.
35. Let our imagination soar!
Thomas ,   Dixieland USA   (01.18.11)
As of today Greece is building a wall on its border with Turkey to stop the flow of (non-Turkish) illegal immigrants who cross into Turkey without needing a visa. Now close you eyes and imagine Europe inundated with millions of legal Turks and millions more of every national from Asia and Africa. Can you see that landscape? And the pushers are the Brits and the Obamistas. Have fun.
36. Europe has brains that Erdogan badly needs
Heinrich ,   Berlin   (01.18.11)
What a despicable man this little man is.
37. Get your hand off it!

38. Yes talkbackers: He is everything you say
Israeli 2   (01.18.11)
that he is BUT the way Europe is going, I am INDEED puzzled why they do not embrace Turkey sooner than later.
39. cCcbaceli
Marc Bodman ,   Ft Myers   (01.18.11)
Well this Jew doesnt hate Turkey ir Turks and my family comes from Izmir. I think Turkey should join the EU and the EU has been racist.. I also think what happened with the current Turkish government inciting th eship to Gaza really challenges Israels security for no reason. Everyone wants peace, and I agree Turkey is a large and well respected power by all in the ME. I dont think the current regime has used its power and influence wisely to further Middle East Peace.. Nonetheless I still consider Turkey an ally of the US, Europe, and Israel. This is just one chapter in a long relationship, and I hope it gets better
40. Such propaganda. Turkey's economy is failing miserably.
Yaniv ,   Israel   (01.18.11)
41. Turkey as good for EU as torpedo against ship !
Ben Zion   (01.18.11)
Well, maybe EU is sinking anyway for its anti-Israel-stand.........''He who curses Israel will be cursed!''
42. Nr. 20, Selim
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium, EU   (01.18.11)
Selim, never mind the Jews, walk in the streets of Europe. Nobody wants Turkey to join the EU. Is that so difficult to understand ?
43. #20 You haven't had anything for 4000 years
Yaniv ,   Israel   (01.18.11)
If you change your culture several times, you are not the same people. Jews are the same people for thousands of years. Our culture and identity is the same. Jealous?
44. #30 Jeff
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (01.18.11)
Hi Jeff I believe you mean Selim #20, if you read my reply @#21 it refutes pretty much all that Selim says.
45. Anothrer arrogant islamist talking more garbage ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (01.18.11)
i really do hope NATO are watching this Ahmadinejad wannabe. I now really hate Turkey and will probably never visit again, besides i have a better job now and don't need to holiday in dirty cheap and nasty places like Turkey where poor people holiday. We need Turkey out of the EU, erDOGan is sounding more like nasrallah everyday..
46. Ref: For all Turkophobiacs please read
selim ,   uk   (01.18.11)
Turkishness is not in the blood of Turks but in the mind and spirit. Please do not condemn us with your racial comments. @45 should you loose your job in the future please do not hesitate to come to Turkey for holiday . @43 this is why you couldn`t have your own country for 4000 years and you had to beg others to have it back the world has changed but you never.We didnt change for couple of hundred years and we lost ottoman empire and we had to change and create turkish republic which is rising to become one of the leaders of 21st century. The problem with Israel is you do not know how to run a country because you never had one of your own. You are like a spoiled child with a new toy. I understand your excitement but dont forget we had ruled the land of Israel for 600 years with peace under Ottomans.
