The fact that you tend to minimize the genocide of the Armenians by the Turks(or Ottomans same difference) tells me that you are more likely then not a Turk.Even 1.5 MILLION murdured Armenians is too many!!Also, please don't start splitting hairs about weather Israel said anything about it as many individual Jews in prominent positions have spoken out about the Armenian genocide which is more then I can say about the Turks who insist that it NEVER happended!!!!.You also conveniantly ignored the ongoing oppression and persecution of the Kurds by the Turks.You are very selective indeed in how you choose to defend the Turks.
62. Poor Kurds
Robert Watkin ,   Panama   (12.12.12)
Have you mr president have forgotten hoy you burn your neighbors with mustard.
63. Hebron is the birthplace of Judaism. Ask Mr. Churchill.

64. Turkey is Doomed; Kurdistan on the Way
SteveR ,   Dallas USA   (12.12.12)
FREE KURDISTAN!!!. And in 25 -50 years when the Kurds are a majority - and the Turks are a minority - in Anatolia (and this day will come for sure), maybe we will support a small Turkish state around Istanbul. But no building in the Kurdish areas. (Note: The Turks are doomed - we just need to wait a bit).
65. If Israel is playing with fire then
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.12.12)
Turkey is playing with an inferno. Odumba exempted Turkey from the Iran oil and gas sanctions nearly six months ago. Turkey has done absolutely nothing to wean themselves off the Iranian gas tit. The US Senate is not going to allow another six months - Turkey is one cooked goose and it is all their own fault
66. End Illegal Turkish Occupation of Cyprus!
john ,   USA   (12.12.12)
The "real" illegal occupation that the world ignores. Google it!

68. Fire will come to Turket !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (12.12.12)
Turkey will soon Burn and Your allies will abandon You.. Arn. Sweden.

Justin   (12.12.12)
If your allies are outraged it says something about you. Your enemies dont always have to say something as you can surely guess what they think.
70. # 61 Splitting hairs. The official position of Israel
ben   (12.12.12)
Is that what happened to the Armenians was not Genocide. Powerful Israel lobbies work tirelessly to prevent the US congress from recognizing the Armenian Genocide. Israel teachers are discouraged from teaching the Armenian Genocide. Peres Apologized to Erdogen when Foxman [ ADL] was forced to ackowlege the Armenian Genocide. Yes it is true that some prominent Israle's like Nobel Prize Winner Elie Wiezman has taken a stand and spoken out about his country's stand regarding the armenian Genocide. But the official policy of Israel is to not recognize the genocide and to prevent the US congress from recognizing the Armenian genocide. It is amazing how many on this talkback board support Israel's position on this

Sabril ,   Telltilla   (12.12.12)
if the Israelis are not officially recognizing the Armenian genocide, it is because of the continuous blackmails and bullying they get from Turkey in terms of security issues. In general the Israeli society is very empathetic with Armenians who survived the first genocide of the 20th century.
72. #19 - E1
E1   (12.13.12)
All previous governments had E1 as part of Israel under every agreement. In fact there were plans in the previous agreements on how to build bypassing roads for the palestinians. Saying that E1 divides the west bank into two is a lie. E1 was never meant to be given away under any agreement.
73. TURKEY AND ISRAEL.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   HOORN NH, HOLLAND   (12.13.12)
IN THIS CASE TURKEY MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS THEN EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ALSO WILL DO THE SAME! PERHAPS WE WILL LIVE IN A BETTER WORLD THEN, WITH LESS CHANCE (OF A THREAT) OF WAR.
