Do not apologize. Show those Turks who is the Idiot here, oooops I mean who is the man...

then best that Jews know who their friends are than pander to unstable irrational regimes.

I now have more regard for assad 1)for telling erdogan to shove it 2) elimiinating some of the brotherhood in hama 3) marrying an attractive woman in asma What do we have- a pack of apologists from barak to merridor with bibi who should know better, dangling in the wind. turn the state over to landau, gallant, eitam and yaalon while ayalon can provide diplomatic language. We have had enough of the olmerts, amir orens, livnis and ehud baraks.

Remember Davos?? This was always the intention of Erdogan and his party -the only thing new is that the UN validated Israel's blockade of Gaza. Erdogan sees a weak Obama and figures the USA will kiss his---- to get him to cooperate... Israel wil unfortunately just have to lay low on this one...

Can Israeli Hasbara ever stay on topic? How many comments are about issues/events completely unrelated to the topic or article? Answer: too many.

Boy, oh boy, someone REALLY needs to find a life .... To the imposter: You need help. Really, you do. Get some.

Who the hell he thinks he is?-dictating terms to Israel.What would Edrogan & Davutoglu do if they were slogged with iron rods stabbed with knifes & thrown overboard? This same question should be addressed to,President Obama & the Palmer Reports.

As far as I am concerned they are a bunch of losers that endorse terrorism and are too chicken to stand up for what is right in this world.

Israel must not let Turkey make the running and should sever all diplomatic ties now. Israel should then support the moves to recognise the Armenian genocide and the illegal occupation of northern Cyprus. Take the gloves off! Better an open enemy than a treacherous 'ally'.

Wecan all boycott holidays in Turkey. We can all fume and spit and curse and be racists like some of those nice European Talkbackers. But 1st we should turn our fury on our government lead by Bib the implacable spin-meister, and Yvet who has taken the pharse 'Israel a Pariah state' to new depths. For now we are isolated and later this month thanks to them, and bolstered by the arrogant blind chauvinism of so many Talbackers in these columns, we will be more isolated than ever before. And what will the chauvinists say? It'll be the usual mix of verbal biyuv, paranoia and xenophobia, the normal "we don't need the world, they've got it wrong, remember the Shoah and our existence in the Galut, what have they to teach us?" But now that world will yawn and move on without us. And the joke is on us, for in today's constrained circumstances, we need the world. Oh and we could have done with the lucrative Turkish military contracts, because the secret's out - we're not doing as well as the government leads us to believe economically. It's '3-Monkies-thinking' this and we'll be paying for it for a long time to come. Shabbat Shalom

I am with you, my brother - LONG BE A GREAT SPARTA. I was only 17 when I asked why are we dealing with turks, a bunch of criminals - we should be co-operating with our natural friends, Greeks. It has taken 40 years, but we are on the way to making it happened. All the best to you and your Land of proud People. Evi

Why is Turkey allowed to continue on this path? Read the headlines: Turkey is allowing the early warning radar to be stationed in Turkey. Of course, if Obama had not reneged on Bush's promise to Poland and the Czech Republic, it wouldn't be necessary. And of course, if both had done or would do something about Iran, it wouldn't be necessary.

The hell with the turkey PM and FM. Israel needs turkey as a whole in the head.

The truth, because they were bought off by the Iranians and Islamic influence the Turks decided to move from a pro - israel policy to an anti-israeli, anti-semitic policy. Unfortunate, but reality.

Ever since the Islamists took over Turkey, it was just a matter of time until it joined Saudi Arabia, etc. in having no relations with Israel. Their goal is regaining their control, hegemony this time rather than complete control, over their old empire. They have finally buried Kamal Ataturk who had a better vision for Turkey. Israel should complete the process before Turkey does and break off all relations with Turkey.

When will Turkey apologize for the massacre of Armenians and Cypriots? Mr. Erdogan does not like to be reminded of the massacre of Armenians. He also does not like to be asked about his government's invasion of Cyprus and the expulsion of Greek Cypriots. Mr. Erdogan is one big hypocrite.

Someone here think that we are stupid to belive you will post such an idiotic comment. Don't worry, most of us ignored him long before you made it clear he is not you. Shabat Shalom.

Israel should thank Turkey for saving us the effort of replacing Gabby at the end of the month. It was hard to find someone that would take the Ambassador position in such a backwards country.

It is Turkey and not Israel that suffers from extensive xenophobic racism and chauvinism. The current crisis is a direct result of Turkey's aggressive neo-ottoman policy dreams. Israel's economy is doing far better than Turkey's and most in the EU. You miss the most important lesson from our galut history: only a economically and militarily strong Israel can defend the Jewish people and only a strong Israel will be respected by the same world which for centuries looked on Jewish minorities with contempt.

9 Turkish citizens were killed, but was 4 to Kurdish origin.Protects the rights of all citizens of Turkey.

TURKEY SEEKS APOLOGY FROM ISRAEL TO WHITEWASH ITS HANDS FROM THE ARMENIAN HOLOCAUST. TURKEY GUILTY OF THE MURDER OF 1 MILLION ARMENIANS.

There are some cowards on this talkback who hide behind other names to spew their hate. #21 is one of them. But he or she is also an idiot, as we all know Sarah, and we know she would not make such stupid statements.

Now that Erdogan has seen that Israel acted according to International Law and acted in self defense he is having a tantrum like a 5 year old child! Is this the kind of ally the US, Israel or Nato really want? Maybe the US Congress should over ride the State Dept. and demand an apology from Turkey for the killing of thousands of Kurdish Civilians.

I would have liked it better had Turkey totally broken all relations with the Zionist regime, but this is a good start in the right direction. When, oh, when will the USA and other nations do the right thing and follow suit? I think that will happen soon, perhaps after President Obama's reelection next year.

"Davutoğlu added that despite the Palmer Report findings, Turkey does not recognize the legality of the Israeli blockade on Gaza." Despite the Palmer report findings, Israel knows that, Turkey which once raped this land and murdered in this land, like it is doing to the Kurds, we know you are guilty of causing this conflict.
