between Iran and turkey.Non Same islamo fascist type of gvernment and same anti -semitic media and populace.

Is Islam compatible with freedom of believe ?.certainly the christians who live in Turkey don't believe so.

here are the diffrence between turky an iran turkey is democracy iran is not turkey respect human rights still lacks alot yet she does, most would agree beter than israel turkey not islamic republic Religion is not part of turkeys politic unlike iran and israel turkey is secular unlike iran and israel one has mullahs in power other claims to be speacil people of god :) turkey is moder country while iran is not turkey has european values unlike iran turkey doesnt not threaten to wipe off jews unlike iran and isral latter tryies to wipe off palis slowly now you tell me whats the diffrence between israel and iran apart form using diffrent methods?

So far you are correct, Turkey is not like Iran for each point you've made. But...Turkey is trending in that direction. If the AK gets the constitution it wants, it will be a slippery slope down the hill toward Islamo-fascism. Let's hope Turkey remains a democracy, since the future does not look bright in that regard.

It must have been conflicting for them...whether to protest Israel or to protest science.

Really, what has the scientific community in Turkey, contributed to mankind in the last 60 years? If you type into Address bar "really cool facts about Israel", watch the video. Israel wins hands down over Turkey and every other country in the region combined. So on that front the Case is Closed, When it comes to freedom and Democracy. Well, Israel has one of the most respected legal systems in the world for protecting freedom. Free elections (unlike Iran and rigged elections), complete freedom of the press. Israel has more in common with Western values than any other country in the region. The Israeli people and the people of the USA have more in common than Turkey will ever have, stay away fro the Kool-Aid you've drinking, or least get backs on your Meds.

Don't you throw people in jail for uttering any negative comment against Turkey or Ataturk? Doesn't seem very respectful to me. Let's then talk about the abuse of Cypriots and Kurds at the hands of Turks. Again, not very respectful. Infact, you don't seem to be very respectful of the truth either. Please explain the accusation "Israel...tries to wipe of palis slowly" Exactly how are they doing this, when Israel (unlike Turkey) has never committed a mass killing nor ethnic cleansing in its history, and the population of "Palestinians" (and standard of living) has only increased over time. "palestinians" are actually rated HIGHER than Turkey in life expectancy and literacy. Not bad for people being "wiped out slowly".

You seem to be singing from a sheet that only idiots like you still think is the "right" description of Turkey! The rest of the world sees a different Turkey. The real Turkey's record of human rights is abysmal. "Turkey has european values...". Really?! The Europeans sure don't think so. Heck they don't even want to have Turkey server them tea a crumpets let alone sharing their values. OK, fine...I agree. The Europeans don't mind you guys sweeping their streets. You call that having the same values?! FYI, Iran has NOT threatened to wipe off the "jews". How do you explain the fact that Iran is the homeland of thousands of Jews without ANY news about threats to "wipe off" the Jews?!!! I am sorry an idiot like you has tried to speak for Turkey. Where are the smart one? BTW, what the heck is a "moder country"? If you meant "modern" you better look again. Somehow that kind of reputation has eluded Turkey. Only in the mind of the delusional, maybe.

for you to needlessly censor just because I submitted it. In fact, here's some more motivation for your suppression of my opinions: I love Israel!!!

Thanks for your kind words :) seems like i touched your nerves with bitter truth sorry to break this to you but iran is a disgrace to civilized world face it with stoning womans hanging gays etc i wont question your iq level seems you have enough to write on the other hand its seems weird to me that you ask questions implying you are interested in stupid antons answers :) do you have any idea how jews are living under iranian regime? or any minorty for that matter the only reason they are alive probbaly the fact that they dont speak agaisnt tyrant Didint your president state that israel shoud be erased from map here is criticial question who lives in israel? penguins? i wont even metion the deniying holocaust thats how deluded iranians are As for turkeys human right as i said not perfect yet improving wher is iran on this matter dear persian kitten :) Eu turkey balance are changing day by day as you can see turkey has its own policies not desperate to join to eu in fact she may offcially stop to join the union in coming years lastly modern country means everything iran not :)

As usual, the idiots, the misinformed, the goons, the pro-islamic gangs are protesting Israel's participation in an int'l science fair .How liberal can these " handful "of medieval relics be.The only " massacres " Known to theTturks and these thugs are; Armenia, Cyprus, Kurds. That the UN commission has concluded that Turkey was guilty of piracy on the hi-seas is irrelevant. That is why Erdogan wet his pants and rushed to NY in order to see if the JEWS could " help " and alter the report somewhat. That's as far as Science in Turkey go.

Maybe you should find out how much Islam and Muslims has contributed to science, including the Holy Quran's description of certain scientific facts not known at the time it was made.

First off, it's Arab not Arub. Secondly, the people who created Hasbara are talking about Arabs lieing? Isn't that ironic.

Swedish King who escaped from Russians and many Medieval Kings were seeking shelter in Ottoman Istanbul. Iranian Armenians immigrated Turkey for money like TODAY's Armenia Armenians. Thousands of Anti-Communist Russians in Istanbul(1920) also Socialist Trocky in Istanbul. Greeks that escaped from NAZI's(40's) Iranians were crying in the parks of Istanbul(80's) Saddam's Iraqi Kurds (90's) Polish,Hungarians, Romanians and Russians after CCCP (80-90's) in Istanbul. Father of Israel David Ben Gurion and Moshe Sharett were living and working in Istanbul. MOSSAD established in Istanbul. Assad's Syrians today here in Turkey. .....contributed to mankind in the last 60 years? Go and ask US universities. US is stealing since 60 years!!! Unfortunately we were very weak at Hitler's time and we couldnt save European Jewry but we did for Spanish Jews in 1492. Turkey is not SADISTIC as Europe and we are the CENTER of the WORLD, the REAL EDEN !! Turkey has saved lives of 100 Japanese in Tehran during revolution like we did for Canadians in Lebanon a couple of years ago!! Being ungrateful is SIN.

You are giving the treatment of gays and Jews in Iran as examples of bad democracy to Persian Cat. Well I ask you Anton, when was the last time the gays had a Pride parade in Istanbul like they do in all other major civilized countries including Israel (Tel Aviv just had its own last month). And I ask you Anton, why is it that Jews rarely were yamukas or kipas in the streets of Turkey like they do in the US, Canada, UK or France? Is it because, like the gays, they think they would be attacked? Before you give democracy lessons to Iran you should clean your own dirty back yard.

You were not able to refute or prove (the poster # 1)"American", wrong in his single point, which is: Iran and Turkey are having different type of governments, but the same anti-semitic media and population, supporting it... Can you reply to that?

is there

well accual if you search you will see gays had kinda of an parade here in istanbul i slighty remember seeing it in news my point was they are not being hanged in turky like iran btw did you read the comments made here after tel aviv gay parade :) it wasnt looking so good maurice as for jews they wear kippa freely i seen myself but if they fear wearing it now then its cause of the tension between turkey and israel i belive if i walked down with turkish t shirt on me in israel i probbaly would be killed under the pretex of being flotilla activist :) and since when you advocate for iran ?

Hate to brake it to you, but freedomhouse ranks Israel as completely free with highest score, whereas Turkey has color yellow, which is between green (free) and red (totalitarian). However, you do lead the world in self-righteousness and ego-tripping.

as Akcam belonged to the organization which kidnapped and killed Israeli diplomat Efraim Elrom. How ridiculous and ignorant of you that you follow Akcam's words and actions as the truth!

Tell me the definition of anti semite if it means anyone who oppose israeliis anti semite then i will accept myself and my goverment with that notion i belive most of you dont even think before you say that word its probbaly the most used word in arguments in israel dear american number 1 :) wasnt right in his assesment of turkey he couldnt be more wrong turkey doesnt have islamofasict goverment i dont know how to prove this to you if you can think of any way let me know :) about turkish media i dont see much news about israel as noone cares here but here in y net i see tons of anti turkish news and i dont call you anti turk why? long story short you guys only see things from one side that never changes i observed here alot, to israelis everyone is wrong but them what can i say ? only mazal tov

Should i ask gideon levy how free israel is? your logic is poor

for speaking his mind.

Turning right and wrong around. Israel does have its' demons, but its' in the area of hurting its' own people, not in what it does or doesn't do to the Palestinians. I don't even know if the Palestinians can be officially classified as "enemies" (one step above terrorists) as they are not even an organized country yet.

journalists go to jail for criticisng the govt. Your judiciary is not independent Can you explain how with an ever increasing Pal population and a low imfant mortality,they are slowly being wiped out? While you are at it you might want to explain why you are occupying Kurdistan and Cyprus and by what right?

Freedom House is an INTERNATIONALLY respected organisation that measures political RIGHTS and civil LIBERTIES. On the other hand, , GL is one the resident SOUR PUSSIES at haaretz who believes Israel MUST always surrender to its enemies. Outside of LEFTIST anti Israel circles, he is NOTHING. But then again, it is NO surprise that YOUR choice is that of a RABIDLY biased source.

BBC report (2010 - 2011) : - THOUSANDS of Kurdish villages were destroyed by the Turkish army in a SCORCH-EARTH program. - HUNDREDS of young CHILDREN between the ages of 13 and 17 are serving sentences in ADULT prisons. - Kids SUSPECTED of taking part in PKK demonstrations was ENOUGH to be convicted of SUPPORTING a terrorist organisation. - Scores of KIDS serve LONG prison sentence WITHOUT being convicted. - "Turkish society has a kind of PARANOIA about disintegration, secession," says Ergun Ozbudun, one of the country's most RENOWED legal scholars (my EMPHASIS) The EU states that Turkey is ILLEGALLY occupying northen Cyrus.. And you of course prefer to HIDE the inconvenient TRUTH about the Amernian GENOCIDE committed by Turkey.

I don't advocate for Iran. Everyone already knows what sort of place unfortunately Iran has become. What bothers me is that you don't see that before YOU can put Iran down you should look at your own backyard. Regarding the gay parade in Istanbul, please send me the documentation before you want me to believe in it. It was probably some low key protest by some desparete gays who know very well they would be cruelly beaten if they ever demonstrated in the same way as it was done in the Tel-Aviv parade. And the people who criticized the Tel Aviv parade here on Ynet were just religious zealots which are just another element of the free Israeli society. But the clear fact remains that in Israel everyone can speak their minds and demonstrate as long as they don't cause trouble and disturbance like the recent flytilla participants wanted to do. Finally, NOTHING would happen to you if you walked with a Turkish T-shirt in israel. I just came back from Tel-Aviv where I saw many Turkish restaurants with Turkish names and Turkish cooks and full of Israelis eating there! Please don't mislead the readers here. Israel is an open democratic society where people are civilized and do not attack minorites in the streets, and where journalists and generals are not jailed like they have recently been in Turkey for talking their minds! Remember the Ergenekon?
