FF ,   Brazil   (05.10.13)
And Erdogan dare to condemn Israel for interfering in the Syrian war. arabs, turkish and palestinian and the world most be stupids not to see that Israel is saving thousands of lives in the region doesn't metter if they are jews, muslims , christians or whatever.
5. Our burden?
Cameron ,   USA   (05.10.13)
Nay. For the neighbors of Syria & regional players to jump on. All yours.
6. Agreed Cameron!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (05.10.13)
The US should not interfere this time. Let one of the nations which receives millions of dollars in aid and weapons from the US jump in. This could be Turkey, Egypt, Jordan etc.
7. Chemical Arabs
DovidHuntington ,   Huntington ny   (05.11.13)
Chemical Ali and Saddam Hussein both swung from a rope because they authorized the use of chemical weapons against the Kurds in Iraq. I would pay to watch that pinhead Assad swing from a rope while his last breath was stolen from him.
8. Erdogan also using chemical weapons
David Israel ,   New York, YSA   (05.11.13)
Erdogan also is using chemical weapons such as mustard gas on his own people every time there is a demonstration against his administration.
9. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.11.13)
And when someone spirits out sarin (easy to conceal) and enters the United States and releases the sarin in the New York City subway, will it be your burden then? How about smallpox or weaponized anthrax? Will it be your burden then? The United States is the one with a great big bull's-eye painted on its back. Target No. 1. Not Israel. All yours.
10. @5 & 6 right u r u just deal with terrorist fallout...
(05.11.13)
just like you did with 9/11 in NYC and just like you will with Boston Marathon... that's right you deal with that bury your heads in the sand and sure thing everything is going to be just fine. For shure, For shure!
11. Syria's usage of chemical weapons :
DT ,   TA Israel   (05.11.13)
Here is the evidence that Obama will do nothing except dig for excuses not to do anything and Kerry is the perfect emissary- a failure in everything in his life.
12. Do Arabs Have Red Line...
ACortez ,   CA, USA   (05.11.13)
Or was Erdogan referencing Obama's red line? How cowardly are the Turks to allow this to continue when they KNOW the red line has been crossed? I thought the Islamic warriors fought for justice and peace. That must only be true when they are able to gang up and attack tiny Israel.
13. The Turkish government is behaving like...
Persian CAT   (05.11.13)
a child molester who put up fliers to find the missing kids. Erdogan and Davutoglu KNOW they have lost the game and thier sugar dadies, the Saudis and the "emir" of Qatar, will stop sending Turkey money to bring Assad down. That's where all the crocodile tears come from. All I can tell these two Turkish comedians is, better luck next time, effendis.

SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR PLANET OF EARTH   (05.11.13)
EARTH... IF THAT MESSAGE HAS BEEN PROVEN AS TRUE, THEN ALSO THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION HAS A TASK/DUTY TO DO, TO SERVE AND TO PROTECT EVERY PEOPLE/ HUMANITY/THE GLOBAL POPULATION, TO LIVE AND TO SURVIVE, SINCE 1945 (FOR THE TIME BEING...).
16. Holy Land Imperilled
Zechariahl   (05.11.13)
The Jews Arabs and Internationals twelve million plus face dire threat in the decades to come from jihadi Shahidism and PsychoCriminal Blood Cults and ought coexist in Truce to fight the common enemy .Human Rights and National Identifications ought be negotiated in mutual recognition and respect but Mass Security Defence and Offence ought be planned as of now.
17. to 6.
Aras ,   irvine   (05.11.13)
Turkey receives no aid from US and it does not need anyone's aid. Lets be more careful with our statements.
18. great point 6
Barney ,   USA   (05.11.13)
why shouldn't the recipients of USA military aid take the reins? Israel should stay put and let the arabs take care of their brothers. Since Israel is the enemy it would be too controversial to increase involvement. The saudis, jordanians, egyptians, and turks should handle this situation. alas, they only succeed at killing their own countrymen.
19. # 17...Our bases are parked in Turkey and that doesn't come
Edithann ,   USA   (05.11.13)
cheap...What makes you think Turkey should do it.? .Who told you Turkey doesn't get US aid? You read too many one sided Israel BS... As I said Israel gets the most aid..and a whole new $30 million missile defense system as we speak...Are they saving it for somethng big..like waiting for Iran missiles to hit? Do you realy think those Iron Domes will save your asses? TATA

21. No Chemical Weapons
Simon ,   Burbank, U.S.A.   (05.11.13)
These photos are BOGUS. If Assad had used chemical weapons they wouldn't have to dig for proof, the thousands dead in the streets would be proof. STOP trying to get the UNITED STATES involved in this Syrian conflict. To hell with Syria, and with Erdogan too.
22. Picture of "child" being treated for chem.

YEA RIGHT! Since when do children have beards AND are wearing CAMO? Yediot your mistake or more pallywood?

melissa ,   izmir   (05.11.13)
you are not able to hunt without glasses you got a splinter of a tree branch in your eyes?
24. Aras from Irvine CA
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.11.13)
Let me remind you that the moment that the US investors pull out their funds from the Istanbul money market (IMKB) the entire Turkish economy will collapse. In the past years even roumours about it creates havoc in IMKB.
25. Edithan
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.11.13)
I am sure you are hoping that the Iron Domes will fail, Israel will be destroyed and maybe even your friends will come to me in USA and try to destroy our communities but I can assure you this: Germans destroyed 6 Million of us and that made us stronger. As long as there are hateful people like you Jews and Israel will get stronger and stronger.
26. Izmirli Melissa
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.11.13)
I hope that all is well in Beautiful (guzel) Izmir after the heavy rains and Flooding.
27. #23
Eagelbeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.11.13)
There are no children in the pictures. Do you and your children have beards?
28. Obssesivefrom Turkey
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.11.13)
Yes you are selling 300 villas in a second plus you are giving away half of your country to others. This is what today you have so many death in Reyhanli. Finlay people are starting to wake up against Erdogan. As I said it before once US funds divests from IMKB Turkish economy will come to a stand still.
29. #28 Dear David
Obsessive ,   Turkey   (05.11.13)
no more IMKB. It is BIST. Central bank of Israel buys shares (one of the first central bank which buys stocks) Swiss central bank buys Turkish shares (This week between 400-800 million dollars in the record high stock exchange) New-normal financial era will be finished with an huge crisis but today cheap money is seeking an adress and they are stock exchanges and commodities. Enjoy the day. US is super power and doesnt need ME oil & becoming energy independent but it has 17 trillion dollar debt. Always prints money for the debt ceiling. London, Singapore, Tokyo, Frankfurt, New York & Gulf never reject lucrative higher Turkish interest rate. Nobody knows until when. Again, enjoy the day. Have a nice weekend.
30. DO I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.11.13)
That it was the imported rebels who actually made use of chemical weapons.Did not Turkey find few of the victims of chemical weapons then? Anyway,Turkey has very little to do but render back-stage support to the Saudis and Qatar to ensure continuation of aid in form of money. What one can easily assume is Turkey had started all this but will end up paying a fairly high price for their role
