Why are people so stupid? Don't go there.
3. Is this how the road to Auswitz was paved?
John ,   Tel-Aviv   (09.05.11)
Probably it also looked quite innocent from the start - the Jews had to register as "bloody Jews" and then wear yellow stars of David. The world was silent. Now it's also silent. Nay! It's not silent at all! It condemns Israel, Israelis ( a.k.a Jews). Never again? Really? Are we all sure? The demons are just asleep, they haven't died. They can come back to life any moment.

When will Israeli's get some pride and completely boycot Turkey, their airlines, their holiday, hotels etc. There are enough airlines without Turkish Air and enough holiday destinations - Take Pride they are out to cause us as much provocation as possible - be proud of being Israeli and if Israel

13. Today's forbitten fruit, Turkey.eat it and suffer the conseq
yosef   (09.05.11)
Jew are smart?, but their stupidity do not seize to amaize me. Turkey is on the front page everyday with no indications as to their change of heart. Israelis who continue to delude themselves are in for a rude awakening. As far as I am concerned, they can enjoy the hospitality of world famed turkish prisons for the next 25 years.
14. addendum to my comment (yosef)
yosef   (09.05.11)
You are correct, Turkey is not israel's enemy, Olmert is.
15. There are bus advertisements going around town...
Deebo_ ,   Holon   (09.05.11)
"As always... Turkey welcomes you." We can now sue for false advertising.

18. allies?
eisnfeld ,   france   (09.05.11)
send E. Barak, is friend of them and he thinks that knows better than anybody how to do with this kind of friends: turcs and egyptians.
19. Shocked Israelis?
Bob ,   TA   (09.05.11)
Well, ask Arabs, even those with Western passports, what happens to them so often after arrival at Tel Aviv airport.. Strip search, passport confiscation, arrogant personal questions and humiliation just because of their ethnicity. After dozens of minutes or even hours released without explanation, not to mention an apology. Finally some Israelis see it from the same side.
20. Really???
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (09.05.11)
Explain this to Olmert, Barak, Ben-Eliezer and all the others who cry for being friends with the Turks. Time has come to talk the same language!
21. "Dina" How often have Israelis bombed something in Turkey ?
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE   (09.05.11)
When did they send the last Rockets at Turkish civillians? The last suicide bomber? The last time Israel said no peace ever with Turkey?
22. Erdogan is such a child
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.05.11)
A desperate move by a pouting child. He'll really have something to pout about when western travelers cancel trips to Turkey in disgust.
23. It is obvious
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.05.11)
that since Turkey's actions are out-of-line with the declared justification, Gaza, that Turkey is acting out of a premeditated plan filled with ulterior-motives that have nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with Erdogan's agenda to reestablish the influence of the Ottoman empire. This is the behavior of every anti-Semite, aggression or threat of aggression towards Jews, is always a coverup for fascists.
24. Thank you Turkey for showing your true barbarian face
Rolf ,   Netherlands   (09.05.11)
25. hazardous travel destinations
Camponuevo ,   Diaspora   (09.05.11)
Israel has always encouraged diaspora jews to spend their leisure time & money in Israel, which we do. yet Israelis spend their travel resources in "enemy" territory. people should learn to vote / make policy statementes with their feet...
26. See media Turkey.
Ali   (09.05.11)
Turks passengers came from the Israel and explained the ill-treatment.this event the same day.probably took revenge by
27. turkish flights
bg ,   jerusalem   (09.05.11)
Enough. Stop all flights between Turkey and Israel.
28. as they say: there'll be no babies in this marriage.
tom ,   tel aviv   (09.05.11)
Turkey is dead t us & vice versa!
29. so
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (09.05.11)
When Arabs come to Israel they are subject to extra questions. All of us here know that and understand that. We want to be protected and this is the way to do it. I don't know, nor do I care if the security at TLV is respectful or not. They have a job to do! Now Israeli's are getting the reverse. While it is most likely a response to the current political condition I think those who continue to visit Turkey ( why?) should expect it and just deal with it. While the Israelis are not coming to blow themselves or others up, the action ( re-action) is not unexpected. I realize I will be slammed for this--but the same way some who come here know and expect that due to the background they will be searched--now its the same. If you don't like it-don't go!
30. Why are Israelis still going to Turkey is beyond me
Mladen Andrijasevic ,   Be'er Sheva, Israel   (09.05.11)
