Maxim ,   ISRAELOAMERICAN   (09.15.11)
You think your Egyptian country is in bad shape now. Under the turkish rule, there will be no Egypt... ErrrrrrDogan is a power monger maniac after the Arab world and is using Israel to get there. So, #6 Egyptian, be very! very! careful of your wishes. They will become hard and harsh reality for you to live with... One day, you and your people will wish if you have never broken the peace with Israel. Have A BON TURKEY ErrrrrDogan VOYAGE..
32. New Hero
Shola Badan ,   Maldives   (09.16.11)
Israel is upset that its leaders cannot treat Turkey the way they do their Arab neigbours. The Turks are prepared to fight if they are challenged by the Jews. And they mean it.
33. Truth
Elchin Baghirov ,   Chicago Usa   (09.16.11)
1)Erdogan is a good muslim which means leaders are servents of their people in Islam.which means if he is trying to be leader in region ,he actually willing to server the region and take responsibility.by taking respensibility i mean he will be questioned for evrything that happens in the region in Judgemnt day.But in west it is difrent presdent is doing what he wants.
34. Turkey’s Erdogan seeks to show Arabs "their place".
Moshe ,   Netanya   (09.16.11)
According to Turks it is in Arabia, Saudi or otherwise.
35. erdogan
jane ,   south africa   (09.16.11)
it comes a time when bullies need to be stopped Erdogan needs a klap to be put in his place bullies carry on and on if no one stops them
36. #23 who are you calling Dictator?
sohaib ,   Scotland   (09.16.11)
both Najad and Erdogan were dimocraticaly elected and that what makes a diffirence from other thugs arab dictators which keep serving the US and Israel in order to get their benidiction to stay forever in power. only elected and backed head of states can stand up to the tyrany the US and Israel is excerciising in the ME do you get it?
37. What I get is that..
Anton Orde   (09.16.11)
If Turkey is trying to invoke a war with Israel then now is as good a time as any to begin helping with - A Kurdish state that needs to be carved out of the belly of Turkey, Syria and Iraq. Assist Greece and Cyprus with the liberation of occupied northern cyprus from the Turks Israel should also assist Armenia deal with the issue of Turkish genocide over its people Israel should also assist Bulgaria deal with its bullyIng Turkish neighbor Israel should also assist Russia with it's problematic Turkish neighbor The good Turkish people should reject cunning neo-ottoman tendencies of Erdogan
38. #36 - Iranians disagree with you
William ,   Israel   (09.16.11)
There is much to show that A'jad wasn't democratically elected but that the election was stolen. Reacting violently by killing and torturing protesters doesn't add to the credibility of the govt's stance. Saddam was "elected" and he slaughtered hundreds of thousands. Some would say he's a dictator. They would be right.
39. #32 - or its full of bluster like all Arabs
William ,   Israel   (09.16.11)
It's not hard to see that this is all theatrics in the convoluted world of ME politics by typical tribal Arabs. Notice how Turkey keeps threatening Israel, than backs down. Warships to E. Med...but not any time soon. A threat to visit Gaza...but just not time. A call to sue Israel in the Hague...right after Kuwait pulled their lawsuit for fear of failure. And in Jerusalem...we just laugh...and laugh...and laugh. Because we see Arabs cannot treat Israel as the bastard sub-human they claim Jews to be...can you now?
40. #27 - listen to Erdogan's tirades...
William ,   Israel   (09.16.11)
it sounds like he's more furious than Israel is. He's screaming threats and curses, and Israel is calm or silent. Keep going crazy Erdogan...even the EU is finding it hard to keep quiet.
41. WHAT AN EMBARASSMENT. 'NUFF SAID
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (09.16.11)
42. When will jews understand?
Ed ,   Sweden   (09.16.11)
When are jews going to understand att molsims - no matter nationality hate christans and jews and will never be friend of them?
43. to #17
lidia ,   Israel   (09.17.11)
Obama is still lying on his ""Yes, you can couch"" and the world seems too indifferent to all the Middle East spring riots.
