naro ,   nyc   (06.14.13)
2. Erdogan you are fired anti-semitic moron
(06.14.13)
3. So Bad
(06.14.13)
Y-Net reporting. No where did Eregon say "Jewish Investors" are behind the disturbances. Not everything is always about Jewish. Such bad journalism.
4. Are you sure its not your long lost buddy Obama?
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (06.14.13)
He has a history of stirring up everything in the Middle East. He did stab Egypt's Mubarack in the back. Obama acts like he never knew the guy.
5. please don't put soros
arne ,   chicag usa   (06.14.13)
with anything jewish, he's as much a jew as the pope.
6. We knew that he sooner or later
Mira ,   Vienna   (06.14.13)
would play the Israeli joker, but to play a generally Jewish joker is new and shows us that Anbtisemitism is much the same than Antiisraelism though the mischieves all over the world deny it!
7. Said:"Those against whom we said ‘oneminute’are now delighte
Nyorker ,   New York   (06.14.13)
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reiterated his belief that the Gezi Park protests have external connections, adding that the interest lobby and foreign news outlets were also involved. “Those against whom we said ‘one minute’ are now delighted,” Erdoğan was quoted as saying during a meeting with the chairman of the Confederation of Turkish Craftsmen and Tradesmen (TESK) Bendevi Palandöken on June 12.
8. Erdogan
Chaim ,   Canada   (06.14.13)
This PM is such a jackass. He's an embarrassment to Turks I know in this country. Any opportunity he gets to spew his antisemitic bile, he opens his mouth and out it comes
9. Typical dictator from the eastern world..
Al   (06.14.13)
If you can't lead your people to happiness and contentment, blame the Jews. Its been done since the dawn of time. Turkey is a shit hole and will stay a shit hole forever. Progressive people have no future there whatsoever. As far as the Jews are concerned, they would rather ride the train to Auschwitz than admit there are living in an anti-Semitic shit hole.
10. didnt obama say he was one of his best friends?
JL   (06.14.13)
11. I looked up "predictable fascist" in the encyclopedia and>
HaifaGuy   (06.14.13)
LO AND BEHOLD: "Erdogan" came up! Honestly, Doggy, it's been long overdue. You made us filthy Jews wait too long for this shining example of Muslim perceptiveness, sense of justice and logic, self-awareness, and general intellect.
12. Regarding Soros
Devorah   (06.14.13)
Erdogan may have a point. Soros specializes in chaos, upheaval and war profiteering. It was his "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine that was behind the Libyan bombings. If you do a bit of research, you will find that Soros is connected to Arab Spring, the Syrian uprising and every other commotion in the ME. Oh, and guess who is closely tied to Soros -- Samantha Power who was just nominated by Barry to be the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.
13. #1, ErDOGan did say Turkish unrest makes Israel "happy".
Jake   (06.14.13)
14. Professional liar Dror
Hakim ,   Palestine   (06.14.13)
Cant take it that Nutinyahoo had to apologize to Turkey....
15. i didint hear
anton ,   istanbul   (06.14.13)
him saying somthing ike this
16. assad showed erdogan to be a coward
mustafa   (06.14.13)
erdogan knows how to shout but that is about it. He sells lies like candy perhaps at thebehest of his islamic wife. His hatred of israelis is huge and will not change even if israel becomes arabic. The turks need to continue their protests to force changes in this rotten corrupt governement.
17. REMEMBER PEOPLE
jeff ,   TLV   (06.14.13)
for him to say it it means he heard others bash jews, other such as us leaders
18. #14 that was because Obama told Bibi to apologize
Vlad   (06.14.13)
And Bibi, ever the desperate for international approval, did just that. A stronger leader, like Menachem Begin, would never have apologized. It wasn't because Turkey strong-armed Israel into doing so.
19. Strange
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.14.13)
We have been hearing for years how strong the Turkish economy is and when we point out that it is very fragile we have been told that we are wrong. Sounds like the Turkish economy is no where near as strong as portrayed, and Erdogan is setting up a "Dog ate my homework" defense.
20. Blood libel
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.14.13)
A formal protest should be lodged with the United Nations. This stunt by Erdogan is an absolute outrage. Israel should immediately rescind the apology issued to Erdogan over the MAVI MARMARA incident, and there are to be no payments to the family members of the dead terrorist scum. Erdogan must be close to losing control. The Arab spring seems to have morphed into a Moslem winter.
21. Hakim from Nevergonnahappenland: -)
HaifaGuy   (06.14.13)
Can't take it that it ain't never gonna happen,huh?
22. He should have said 'Leftists'
Eric ,   Istanbul   (06.14.13)
Outside Leftist groups are always encouraging Turks to demonstrate against Erdogan.
23. Old tune
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (06.14.13)
When in doubt blame the Jews. What else is new? The Elders would be proud of this small two timed jerk.
24. The old classic: "I'm in trouble--scapegoat the Jews"
Yaniv ,   Israel   (06.15.13)
25. anton
american american ,   istanbul, turkey   (06.15.13)
who is the 'interest rate lobby' and who did he say 'one minute' to?
26. To # 14
yosef ,   Jerusalem   (06.15.13)
There is not and will never be a creation called Palestine - and there most likely is no creature called Hakim either. Take your demented dreams up the next camel's arse
27. ah, anti-semitism the first resort of the scoundrel. sure
ralph   (06.15.13)
sign of a stealing, anti-democratic bastard.
28. He always appeals to the lowest common denominator
Jarred Sloane ,   London UK   (06.15.13)
He appeals to those that voted for him.These are the uneducated Turks that live in the remote parts of Turkey.The protesters on the other hand are the future of Turkey,they see through him,someone who is an Islamist who wants to turn Turkey into an Islamic state.He is already behaving like a Tyrannical Sultan..This Turkeys Goose is Cooked......
29. Erdogan is a Stuffed Peacock.....
Ahmet Beyati ,   Istanbul Turkey   (06.15.13)
He will have a lot of trouble from the more modern and enlightened Turkish people who don't want to live under an Islamic dictatorship.He just about lost it.He has insulted everyone,especially the Turkish people themselves.A man that has an over inflated ego,that will have his ego deflated.
30. What a joke...
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (06.15.13)
How unusual...another Muslim leader who blames the Jews for all their problems !!
