31. Erdogan is not Turkey.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (03.26.13)
Prime Minister Erdogan, in fact, has been hostile to Israel. But he, and his party, don't represent Turkish people; only a part of it. Turkey, since Kemal Ataturk till today, is a laic and pluralistic republic. She has an almost developed economy and strong armed forces. As a friend of yours, I think Netaniahu acted well; above all, politically. Turkish public opinion, as a whole, is different. Israel doesn't need more enemies in Middle East. God bless Her.
32. reply #31 ...but they vote for him.

You write that Erdogan does not represent Turkey. The turkish people voted him to power, and reelected him too. How does that make him non representative to Turkey? Thank You for blessing Israel but I must disagree with you on this matter. The Turkish people must assume responsibility for their leaders actions. If the public opinion is, as you say, different (from Erdogans) then they must vote him and his party out of power. While they still can.
