Jerry ,   Israel   (12.16.11)
I want whatever hes on
32. Turkish posturings
Kibbitzer ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.16.11)
"Turkey has never remained silent in the face of oppression?" Try telling that to the Kurds and the Armenians! This man and his country have delusions of adequecy not to mention grandeur.
33. Idiot
hasan ,   ME   (12.16.11)
Israel needs to teach a good lesson to those peasants at the command of such a country as Turkey.
34. Why cant he bring Assad to his knees?
Ben ,   Belgium   (12.16.11)
Big mouth
35. To Sarah B.
sipahi ,   Istanbul   (12.16.11)
Sarah, you are not stupid, quite intelligent maybe, however delusional. Among those talkbacks, you are the only one who seems to recognize the issue. It is not about flotillas, accusations, etc. It is the struggle for the supremacy. Supremacy in the Eastern Mediterranian, and in the Middle East. The only thing you cannot seem to accept the fact is that Turkey will prevail. And it is very natural.
36. ISRAEL WILL TANGLE WITH TURKEY OFF CYPRUS
Zimbi ,   NJUSA   (12.16.11)
37. He is talking non sense...
Liviu ,   Cape Town, RSA   (12.16.11)
It looks like he doesn't know who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, does he...!?
38. I am rather glad to see ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.16.11)
.... that Turkey feels it "cannot remain silent" if one of its neighbors oppresses its people. I take that to mean that Israel is now perfectly free to do what is necessary to put an end to the vicious and ruthless ongoing Turkish oppression of the Kurdish people. Davotoglu just may have bitten off more than he can chew.
39. To: Ben at No. 34
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.16.11)
LOL! Davotoglu appears to suffer from what Americans call a severe case of alligator mouth and hummingbird ass. It will come back to bite him (pun intended).
40. To: Jerry at No. 31
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.16.11)
No, you don't. It's called dementia.
41. To: Rene at No. 18
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.16.11)
Let them. They need us far more than we need them. Especially since they crawled into bed with Iran. Turkey has a very long history of bad decision-making. This is just another in an extremely long line of bad decision-making. Turkey is just one of those countries that is fated to learn things the hard way. Like the two ill-fated voyages of the MAVI MARMARA. Israel can bring a great deal worse. If Turkey wishes to explore that, we cannot save them from themselves. About time, actually. Turkey -- a pathetic third world country -- is fated to discover this fact, yet again. Pass the popcorn. It's going to be amusing to watch them implode. Sometimes, you just cannot save countries from themselves.
42. To: No. 24
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.16.11)
We are no longer slaves. Today, we are the significant power in the Middle East. Can you spell "nuclear power?" Slave that, imbecile.
43. The Muslim psyche is truly disturbed!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (12.16.11)
God bless Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!
44. The only knee-action I see..
Taz Man ,   USA   (12.16.11)
...is Turkeys' knees shaking, along with all their Muslim (cowards) brothers. Yeah, empty words of false bravado are like a punk drinking booze for false courage. Real men's minds are clear, as opposed to those who are drunk with their own self-hatred. The clear of mind always wins! God bless Israel and His Jerusalem (Muslim free)! A Christian Zionist
45. This punk is, seriously, on some wacky-weed!
Z.Z. Coltrane ,   USA   (12.16.11)
God bless Israel! Yeah, don't worry about the Muslim clowns...they're too high on their own supply to be able to do anything constructive--like thinking outside of the box, or finding their car keys when needed. Truly some cognizantly deficient people; to the point of being laughable. We'll start our ABC's tomorrow for the Muslims. God bless Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!
46. a warped mindset
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (12.16.11)
Just to clean up some of the garbage this knuckle dragging simian has scattered... Regionally Israel has never been on better terms with more countries (eg. Greece and Cyprus) than she is today. Internationally there are more governments seeking closer economic ties with Israel (eg. South Korea, and China) and more airlines seeking landing rights in Israel than ever before. And I can think of a few countries where the Israeli passport today is far more welcome than the Turkish passport. But what is interesting is the warped mindset of Turkey's present leadership which can only think in terms of bringing other countries to their knees - Cyprus and the Kurds, quite apart from Israel. Turkey is no one's great friend.
47. To: Nibor at No. 26
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.16.11)
That can probably be arranged. But why bother? Turkey is well on its way to its appointment in Samara. From which it will not emerge.
48. More islamofascist arab Bullshit
(12.16.11)

49. To: #11--Your not too bright(ton)!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (12.16.11)
God bless Israel!
50. #35 Turkey is on brink of financial meltdown - its next
Scott ,   Sunshine Coast   (12.16.11)
Nothing to do with asserting "Eastern Mediterranean supremacy". Its about distraction. All the indicators show that Turkey is in a disaterous financial position and is the next to meltdown. http://www.worldcrunch.com/beware-turkish-economic-bust-2012-and-dont-blame-it-foreigners/4304 Erdogan and co, are doing their utmost to cover up the impending recession. Dont say its not the case - Greece, Italy, Portugal all denied it before the axe fell. Your PM and FM are all about distraction and of course Israel is just the perfect fit for this ruse. Cheap. Meanwhile Israel enjoys a fabulous economy - the envy of many. Not bad for a nation "on its knees". Dont you know just how stupid these kind of remarks are seen? I thought our Julia Gillard was an embarrassment - she's definitely a few rungs below these guys.
51. Ezekiel & Turkey
Rick ,   Houston USA   (12.16.11)
The armies of Turkey, Russia, and Persia (Iran) will be on their knees when the Almighty brings them down on the land of Israel for the purpose of their destruction. Perhaps these nations should ready the 38th and 39th Chapters of the book of Ezekiel.
52. The idiot is hallucinating!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (12.16.11)
"It is our policies in the region which have brought Israel to its knees before us... " Has Israel apologized to these idiots? NO! Has Israel paid compensation to these idiots? NO! Has Israel lifted the bockade? NO! And he claims that Israel was brought to its knees! That is for you Turkish perception of reality which is becoming more and more like Arab perception of reality.
53. To #35
Chaim ,   Arad   (12.16.11)
Just for grins and giggles, venture out and read chapter 38 of Ezekiel....all of it. You will be surprised to see your country's ancient name mentioned in there and coming against Israel. (Remember, this is prophecy and has not happened yet) Isn't this exciting? Keep reading and you will see your cities destroyed by HaShem and your armies eyeballs melt in their sockets. Like I said, isn't this exciting?
54. INCOMPETANT POLICY OF DAVUTOGLU !
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (12.16.11)
Because his wrong policy which is incapable to distinguish who is FRIENDand who is the ENEMY he is bringing to WAR Turkey and Syria according Debka ! Maybe he already implored for HELP from ISRAEL because the situation on Turkish- Syrian border is ALARMING !!!
55. That's why we will never buy anything from Turkey
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.16.11)
in the United States. We agree on boycotting morons as well.
56. Spahi the one thing that you forget
David Israel ,   New Yok, USA   (12.16.11)
If t was not for the help of the Jewish lobby in the USA, Turkish economy would still be under the 1974 embargo. By now 1USD would have been 5 million TL. The Turkish treasury in need of even 70 cents (As once PM Ecevit said). You are correct when you say that this is the Turkish (or Davutoglu's) struggle for supremacy. But isn't t interesting that teh polices are very much slppery? (Kaypak in your words) The 0 problem policy on one hand the attacks on once best friend Assad of Syria on the other hand. Also let me remind you that in this age of high technology as we all observe, wars are conducted from 10s of thousands of miles away using unmanned drones. n the coming years the military strategic importance of Turkey will be less and less. No Oil in Turkey. Just like the years of the Ottoman the foreign debt s rising rapidly (Read Serdar Turgut's article from yesterday). Sipahi dostum. I am sorry f I turned your bright day into a dark one but these are some of the realities that you must face sooner then later.
57. how much you wanna bet...
mb   (12.16.11)
...that the mighty Turks will be begging for Israel's help when Assad launches his Scuds at Turkey? Who do you think Assad has a better chance of defeating? A highly trained IDF or an inexperienced Turkish military? Then we'll see who will be on its knees begging for help.
58. Turkeys are idiots and they show it.
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (12.16.11)
These ignorant people are typical muslims, racist, fascists and devoid of brains. We should support the Kurds with weapons to attack and kill as many of these racists as possible. They support arabs against Israel, Israel should support Kurds against moronic turkeys.
59. no. 24 - I thought 'we' run the world
Shaul R   (12.16.11)
so which one is it? LOL
60. isolation
Oleg ,   NY   (12.16.11)
I wonder, what kind of tobaco he smockes?
