Proud anti Zionist ,   Planet Earth   (09.20.11)
Just an average speech by a rambling Jew...
32. Typical!
Dano ,   Tokyo Japan   (09.20.11)
The usual impoliteness shown by these Turks. They are so full of their importance when they clearly have shown petulance, aggression and hypocrisy (criticize Israel, but bomb the you-know-what out of the Kurds WHO ARE THEIR OWN CITIZENS!!). Never mind them leaving when an Israeli speaks...they should never have been invited!
33. #24 we didn't call for the extermination of all turks and...
valentina ,   israel   (09.20.11)
turkey, but iran called for ours. Maybe you should concentrate more on facts before making stupid comparisons out of bitterness.
34. #12 - agree with you...
jonathan ,   london/ israel   (09.20.11)
If you read the Turkish English newspaper it is flooded with headlines about Israel and Turkey's rift. I am pleased to see that on ynet the same is not the case. Israel should totally blank Turkey. They do not warrant a moment of our time.

You are wrong.Ayalon is strong like Lieberman who can stand for the only JEWISH STATE in the world called ISRAEL. LONG LIVE ISRAEL,LONG LIVE LIEBERMAN,LONG LIVE AYALON.
36. I am a Turkophile (Love Turkey)
Tim ,   Brighton   (09.20.11)
But I really cant understand Diddy Davutoğlu and Egotistical Erdogan...getting carried away with this Ahamdinejad Chavez like gung ho machismo.... Perhaps they are one of a kind? Especially when it impresses no one. Not Turks, not Israelis, not Arabs.....
37. Well at least he did not cut the legs off his chair
Mark ,   Usa   (09.20.11)
I am sorry as much as l love israel all my life in this one Israel is wrong, and now Israel cries to US once more this time it is about Turks, and Nato, Israel can not stand the fact that Turks did not give free passage to Israel to bomb Iran. and that is understadbale bz Turks has a longest standing border with Iran and they do not want confilict in theri borders as it was in Iraq, if israel wants to fight Iran than let Israel do it alone without bringing everyone into confilict
38. Old hasbara speech
Nina ,   NYC   (09.20.11)
Iran blah blah blah. Nobody wants to hear it for the 1000th time.
39. Turkey vs Israel
R.M.T. ,   Rehovot, Israel   (09.20.11)
Israel may apologize to Turkey - after Turkey apologizes for the slaughter of the Arminians and the Kurds as well as the occupation of half of Cyprus.
40. To: No. 29
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.20.11)
By Israel and by the Palmer Report. Your problem?
41. Turkey ! Walk out,and stay out.
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (09.20.11)
Turkey used to be called,the sick man of Europe,today Turkey is the mad man of Europe.
42. And now they've got a blast
Oleg ,   USA   (09.20.11)
I would not be surprised, that they will accuse Israel for this. Idiots, nothing else can be said. They are still under impression, that they are Empire.
43. Turkish FM
Maryellen ,   Connecticut, USA   (09.20.11)
Ayalon's behavior showed ignorance and lack of civility. The Turks look for an opportunity to insult Israel, and he handed it to them. Turkey's government is maneuvering for leadership in the ME, but Iran will never let it happen. Turkey will be the big loser. Israel was a good friend, and they both benefited. Too bad.
44. #37 - what makes you think Israel asked for passage?
William ,   Israel   (09.20.11)
You assume that Israel made that request in the first place. Who's your source...Dick Cheney? Iran has already brought everyone else into the conflict, by supporting Taliban terrorists against NATO troops, by supporting Shiite terrorists in Iraq against coalition forces, and by sending illegal weapons to Hizbullah and Hamas via Turkey, and via Egypt, Sudan. They say love blinds a person. In this case, your blindness only shows your "un-love" for Israel.
45. #29 - Hamas was only listed as terrorist group by EU in 2003
William ,   Israel   (09.20.11)
but they still committed terrorist acts from 1987.
46. #27 - Yawn!
William ,   Israel   (09.20.11)
Turkey sends a boat load of violent blockade runners, against Intl Law, and you're upset that the Turkish ambassador had to sit in a lower chair AFTER the Turks offended Israel with yet another un-dilpomatic action. Hardly comparable.
47. #36
Maryellen ,   Connecticut, USA   (09.21.11)
The explanation is simple. The present government wants to undo all the progress Turkey has made as a Moslem but secular state. This governing group has dreams of returning Turkey into an Islamic state, and becoming the leader. They are doing it on the backs of Israel, hence the Marmara incident, and all the posuring by Erdogan......
48. To #31 Proud Anti-Semite
John ,   Alaska   (09.21.11)
Your one-sentence post addressed Israel not at all, and expressed distain for Jews in general. According to the dictionary, that means you are not a proud anti-Zionist, but a proud anti-Semite.
49. AHHAH!!!
IRAN#1   (09.21.11)
I likes it...marhaba Ahmet :)
50. #49 Wait till Ahmadinejad shows up
I Ran 2 ,   USA   (09.21.11)
The room will empty and monkey will be left talking to himself.
51. Megolamiac Jew Turks could not give a horse's back side abou
