31. Looks like Ynet news are presently obsessed with Turkey.
Irshaad ,   New World   (09.18.11)
Why can't the media play an active role in peace rather than stroking tensions between people and States. Looks like Ynet news are obsessed with Erdogan....

What does Liberman have to do with the fact Erdogan has a few screws loose? If your refering to the fact that Israel refuses to apologise for the flotilla thats not Liberman being childish its because if Israel says we are sorry its admitting we committed a crime on the Mavi Mara which it did not. If we say sorry then we will not longer be able to enforce the Gaza blockade. Bibi has expressed his sadness at the loss of life which is the closest thing he can offer politically. Liberman can't be held responsible for the fact Erdogan is sending warships to fire on any Israeli ships enforcing a blockade or changed the F16 source codes so Turkish planes can fire on Israeli ones. How is Liberman responsible for Erdogan making trouble with the EU? How is Liberman responsible for the fact Erdogan is now best buddy with Ahmadinejad? Liberman is no diplomat but he is not responsible for this trouble with Erdogan who overestimates his importance in world affairs.

Sidney ,   USA   (09.19.11)
It is a financial millstone that is absolutely worthless.
37. We will do as we wish in international waters
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.19.11)
If Turkey thinks that they can prevent us from doing as we please in any international waters they will find out how well their sailors can swim. It happens to be international law that every nation has that right, oh and by the way Turkey you will not restrict us in any way whatsoever.
38. Looks like Turkey isn't in the mood to make 'nice' with
Edithann ,   USA   (09.19.11)

It's all your fault...its always been your fault.. TATA

40. #38... Well if Peres did that to Erdogan some time ago......
valentina ,   israel   (09.19.11)
then it seems he was a pretty good judge of character. Claiming to lead a country when really he's just reacting on impulses because he's bitter, is not leadership. This man will Turkey into the ground, and he'll only have himself and people like you to blame for supporting such childish acts :) TATA

42. SOUNDS ALOT LIKE AN EX-LOVER
Iranian Jew ,   La   (09.19.11)
Who can't get over the break up. Get over it. We are not friends anymore. You sleep with our enemies. Stop begging for apology. We know now that you pretended to be friends and just waited to get what yo needed from us. Now, go back to your Persian Monkey to get new orders. Turkey has become the door mat of Iran.

51. #38 edithann
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.19.11)
We won't rely on memory, just give the specifics when and what Israel stuck to Erdogan "I think", what the hell does that mean? that isn't a fact, just a thought TATA My M'Tum Tam Assholes like you in the USA are the biggest bores, writing about what you've never seen and too cowardly to come and see it
52. Israel should then threaten...
Vlad   (09.19.11)
That for every one tantrum Erdogan throws, it will send one ton of military aid to the PKK, and if Turkey complains about Israel sending aid to "terrorists" or whines to NATO, it will send ten tons.
53. Turkey is Finished. What LOSERS
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (09.19.11)
What a pack of arrogant jerks the Turks have openly revealed to the world so flagrantly. Perhaps THE most arrogant group of putz's the world has ever known. They think they're so damn important but if turkey fell off the map today, the world would lose nothing, aside from some scenery. And that is where turkey is heading: off the map. What a bunch of JERKS. NATO should kick them out like the garbage they are and when their economic bubble POPS, we should simply ignore them and let them all tank, completely. The 'nice' turks didn't stand up to the thuggery of their government and let them be railroaded into oblivion so I have little sympathy for them. Shame on all of turkey; they deserve whats coming and its not going to be nice. Israel doesn't need NATO; it has the US as its best friend and military ally; as the JCOS said: NO ONE has the special and close relations with the US military that Israel does: not NATO, england, denmark, germany, not ANYONE...and certainly not the murderous turks. To hell with turkey!
54. What a wonderful photo. The devil with his horns and
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.19.11)
the star above him. I don't get it. Davutoglu is saying that Turkey is so powerful that it calls the shots for NATO? Clearly, he is saying that if NATO members are in favour of some initiative that the almighty Turkey can stop it? Well, this has to be the height of conceit. So, feasibility is not a factor, only what Turkey wants? And Turkey decides? And furthermore, is he saying that Turkey can reverse course and ALLOW the initiative to go through, depending on it being politically advantageous to Turkey? Well the Turkish leadership must think Turks and Arabs are morons because he could not possible be directing this foolishness to western minds. I guess the Turkish leadership thinks that everyone is in awe of every word and syllable uttered by and on behalf of the new Turkish caliph.
55. AKP is a dangerous party if they get majority in parliament!
Jouko ,   Finland   (09.19.11)
It is strange how little the Turks understand about politic. I wonder how Mr. Erdogan managed to get such a many votes at the elections even if he is clearly a demagogue - in line with Ahmadinejad and Hitler and Chavez.
56. #38, Edithann, our fault?
israeli ,   israel   (09.19.11)
How is it our fault that you are a complete twat?
57. Turkey is a valuable NATO member
John ,   USA   (09.19.11)
Turkey unlike Israel is an actual asset to an alliance. The worst thing that can happen to NATO is to get involved with Israel.
58. John Islamist Turkey that buddies up to Ahmadinejjad
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (09.19.11)
may be valuable to you but not to NATO. Much more like a security risk to NATO.
59. #57 John, you are wrong. Turkey is a liability to NATO.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.19.11)
Turkey in the past was useful to NATO but under present management, it is a liability. The west is looking at Erdogan with consternation. The pompous a** was dragged up in a gutter and you know the saying: you can take a man out of the gutter, but you can't take the gutter out of him.
60. palmer UN showed it was Turkish responsibility
ghostq   (09.19.11)
in the escalation in the area, turks think that they r bater than some UN law makers, they got selective acceptance of laws and verdicts, I reckon, but too late for that now Turkey just showed that in time of need better let her out of NATO and Euroe union.
