Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.29.11)
- what kind of an Fool is this ?. I have lost all confidense in this man, even though I have seen Him in a Vision, inviting me to come along. Turkey is a Looser, and will soon be defeated Militarily , crying for help, though Militarily successfull to begin with. God bevere ! Arn.Sweden.
33. Never! Never! Never!

No apology unless they apologize to us. A boycott of Turkish products: check the country of origin in the supermarket, no eggplant salad, no sugar, NOTHING that says Made in Turkey on it, no tiles for the wall, no knitting yarn, no vacations in Turkey, no flying Turkish Air to Europe, NOTHING, not one shekel goes to Turkey until they outlaw the IHH and put its leaders in jail.
34. Time for the Napoleon to leave: I know an island ....

What rhymes with Barak?
38. barak, even more incompetent than peres, IF POSSIBLE.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (07.29.11)
39. A bad, bad boy...
Hertzel ,   Tveria Israel   (07.29.11)
This guy is the epitome of disaster for Israel !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not Surprising though...
40. This guy...
Hertzel ,   Tveria Israel   (07.29.11)
He has NO MANDATE from the people, he created his own party by stabbing his party members in the back, that way he could stay a defense minster, even that he is worth about 3-4 seats (nearly zero in electorates) and he speaks for Israel in the highest places????? THIS IS ONE SKEWED POLITICAL SYSTEM!
41. when has this clown been right about anything?
dante ,   uk   (07.29.11)
barak has a near perfect record: perfect disregard for the national interest; total elevation of his personal interests over those of Israel. and, it might not be corruption; it is quite possible that it is stupidity or folly. barak is, nonetheless, a disaster. and, he does not have a clue.
42. Oh my God no!
Deebo_ ,   Holon   (07.29.11)
Apologizing for defending ourselves against an invasion?? The only reason Barak wants to apologize is so that Turkey shuts up and stops being so childish about it already. But there are so many precedents and implications that an apology involves that it would prevent us from defending our borders when we really need to. Don't. Do. It. Turkey provoked, they should apologize. This isn't Backwardsland.
43. Yes, apologise
Hunt S Cross ,   England   (07.29.11)
Who physically attacked whom? Who declared their readyness to die as "martyrs" ahead of embarking on the flotilla? The Israelis were engaged in a legitimate operation, as the Palmer report appears to say. But Barak is right. There needs to be an apology in the contxt of the Palmer report for having sent the soldiers into danger with only paintball guns available to defend themselves.
44. Then step down if you want to apologize!
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (07.29.11)
you ok'd the raid, you fool. Then you should be sent to international court for war crimes. ... who the hell is this clown? You apolgize then they will sue you for war crimes, you jack ass! Bibi already apologized for loss of life.
45. You will apologize down on your knees...
(07.29.11)
46. Barak flees once again. He must go.
Ben Yisrael ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.29.11)
47. I beg of
Hertzel ,   Tveria Israel   (07.29.11)
the only real man in this coalition, Liberman, which I helped to elect, to say something about this little clown efforts is destroying Israel's name, owner, security, and ability to defend itself. A coalition crisis MUST BE CREATED, AND NOW ! to shut this joke of a "defense" minister up, and the sooner the better.
48. Nr 29. This cant be the real Sarah !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.29.11)
49. Barak & Erdogan both must apologise
john   (07.29.11)
Barak must apologise to the boys of the IDF for sending them on a mission equipped with paint ball guns in which they had to fight for their lives from terrorists.Erdogan must apologise for coordinating and sending brutal terrorists on board the flotilla to break the completely legitimate blockade.
50. apologising for what?????
tiki ,   belgium   (07.29.11)
It's like burglers come into my house, smash the place up, beat members of my familie into hospital, take my belongings, ravage my house. I have a gun, hurt 2 of them and kill one. There is a trial........and the JUDGE tells me that "I" have to appologise, or worse "I will be punished for shooting to protect my property. "I" should NOT have shot and wounded/kill these savages entering my house, "I" should have called and waited for the police. The world upside down, that's what law & order is today and yes Barak is like this judge. D I S G U S T I N G !
51. Barak's Powerful
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (07.29.11)
B"H As an ex secret services chief, Barak evidently has enough material to blackmail the entire cabinet and no one has the courage and the power to stop him. He is far more powerful than his electoral force would suggest and for all practical purpuses he might be seen as the one who runs the country, through his own underground securitate network. Even at this talkbacks level I got threats, I think.from his thugs.
52. The post at No. 29 is not mine ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.29.11)
... needless to say. They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but I would hope that the wily imposter learns how to use punctuation properly. Commas, to be more specific.
53. To: No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.29.11)
Israel defended a fully legal and internationally recognized blockade of the Gaza Strip. The MAVI MARMARA attempted to breach that fully legal and internationally recognized blockade. It is a well known precept of international law that deadly force may be used to prevent such a breach. The MAVI MARMARA got off rather lightly. Israel could have fired a missile amidships rather than risk the lives of its soldiers. Please do keep that in mind.
54. Repulsive
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.29.11)
Even American's don't hold by this present administration, and this Barak is ready to defy any rational sense of morality and bow down to this immoral hypocritical regime in Turkey, why, because America wants it. BTW, there are two streets parallel to each in Baka, Jerusalem. One called Edud the other Barak, and they are both dead-ends.
55. Barak:We must apologise
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (07.29.11)
What a whimp Mr Barak.No way Israeltoi apologise
56. To apologise to the enemy
JUDAH THE LION   (07.29.11)
No way,Israelto apologise to the Turkish Israel not at fault.Hopfully our wimp Defence minister will be kicked out soon Not to Vote him.KICK HIM OUT NOW
57. Barak would sell his children to please Uncle Sam
(07.29.11)
58. Sorry for what?
David ,   Melbourne, Australia   (07.29.11)
Sorry for what? A ship sailed into Israeli waters without permission, the people on it acted with violance against Israelis, and Israel has to say sorry? If anything, the PM for Turkey should say sorry for the anti Israel crap that has come out of his mouth, Turkish TV, the actions of Turkish fans at a Euroleague match against an Israeli side, and even for storming off at forum during operation cast lead. Why is it that Israel must say sorry and give up so much all the time?
59. to nr. 11.
cosmopolitist ,   global-municipality   (07.29.11)
take care that you become yourself d.m., p.m or president of "israel". much success.
60. Getting "reasonable relations" is the reason not to apologis
Moshe ,   Usa   (07.29.11)
In a thousand years, we will have peace with the arubs. They are a cancer that believes that they are the most moral & ethical people in the world. The truth is that they are worst people in the world. They have violence everywhere they live. If we will have peace with turnkey, it will only come based upon moral & ethical terms. Moshe
