1. Further Turkish Push To Harm Israel
joyce fraser ,   USA   (09.10.14)
As long as it's bad for Israel, Turkey's Erdogan will be happy. Erdogan continues to seek ways to undermine Israel.
2. The beauty of natural gas...
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (09.09.14)
It remains in the ground till it is needed. Erdogan will not be around forever. The gas will.... and at a higher price each year it rests there. Screw Erdogan. Screw Turkey.

Israel does not need Turkey to sell gas. even Arabs will buy it. under sea pipeline to Greece etc.
4. Typical Turkish Hypocrisy
SG ,   NY   (09.10.14)
Turkey does not boycott Israel. It happily trades with Israel when products critical to its needs and self-interest are involved. However, if not critical, Erdogan will take the bully pulpit and excoriate Israel at every opportune moment. Turks will ultimately rue the day that they let Islamists take over the government.
5. Turkey's backward progress catching up with Iran
Zev ,   Haifa. London   (09.10.14)
Turkey cuts off its nose to spite its face. Israel have already started negotiations with Greece to act as the Israeli gaz portal to Europe. Greece, as an EEC country, is more suitable for the task rather than Turkey who will never be admitted to the club.
6. Natural gas/oil revenues
Toby   (09.11.14)
Once these revenues start paying off costs, Israel should consider reducing the tax rates for its citizens.
7. Turkey snubs energy deals with Israel over Gaza op
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (09.11.14)
I was not aware that Israel was banging on the Turks door to be permitted to sell them anything, least of all the precious and in demand gas by all other nearby nations, it appears that the Turks do protest too much; are they really hinting that please let us have your cheap energy as we are up a creek without a paddle.
8. Israel Zyprus Greek
Udo Lum ,   berlin   (09.12.14)
Europe need a pipeline that doesnt go thru muslim countries/russia/Ukraine. A pipeline thru Zyprus and then to Greek will be the best,Greek have a lot of gas but they wait till the euro dies and this will be soon...
