1. Oh, that's okay
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.02.14)
For one thing, Turkey scarcely matters. For another thing, we handed them a humiliating "up yours" with respect to the MAVI MARMARA. Thirdly, they seem to be harboring some resentment over the fact that Israel is going to share the enormous profits of its two huge natural gas fields with Greek Cyprus, but with no other country -- including Turkey. All in all, I'd say if the Turks don't like Israel, we must be doing something very, very right!
2. for turks reading this
eran   (11.02.14)
I see you have forgotten which country helped your country when you had that earth quake..bloody losers..
3. Do Turks like anybody other than themselves?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.02.14)
What a bunch of hypocrite Asian Mongol supremacists who think that they are still the corrupt, oppressive and criminal Ottoman Empire
4. Take it as a compliment
Benji ,   US   (11.02.14)
Erdogan has done an excellent job isolating Turkey. Anyway, based on this article, the Turks don't like anyone.
5. Turks' dislike of "Israel"
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (11.02.14)
This should be no surprise. Anyone of any moral conscience dislikes that usurper state, which is the focal point of geopolitical infection in the Middle East and, yes, worldwide.
6. I think Israelis now need to go into a corner and cry))
Oleg ,   Canada   (11.02.14)
Wow!!! Turkey does not like Israel!! Turkey!!!! A country which had committed a full scale genocide and does not recognize it as a part of its own history! A country where you can be thrown into a jail for insulting "Turkishness")) Asking such people like Turks if they like Israel , you might as well ask Nazis if they like Israel)))
7. Turks dislike the world!
tiki ,   belgium   (11.02.14)
That's their problem. On the other hand, I don't think that Turkey & the Turks are on anyone favourite list either.
8. Correct the headline
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.02.14)
It should read: "Turks intensely hate all foreigners." Given that universal xenophobia is based on envy, it is actually a compliment to be hated by them most, since it means that Israelis are most worthy of envy in their eyes. Followed by Americans, Europeans, etc.,
9. I don't like the Turks...oh well.
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.02.14)
I NEVER DID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. They hate everybody they needed to ask if they hate themselv

12. I polled myself...
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.03.14)

13. the same is reciprocal end
jose ,   raanana israel   (11.03.14)
14. Turks Hate Everyone
Jake ,   Haifa   (11.03.14)
So what? They hate everyone because they know they once had a great Empire which was dismantled by force and now they have nothing but a rump state and soon they will lose Eastern Anatolia to the Kurds. They are unhappy people.
15. Sounds to me they're equal opportunity haters all around
shrimpocat ,   Netherlands   (11.03.14)
It's when the Turks don't hate you, that you should be worried.
16. Now, step up please for the next flight to cheap Turkish de-
(11.03.14)
lights!
17. Self-aggrandizement:
Scharp ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.03.14)
Both hilarious and scary. The era of globalization and internet was supposed to foster dialogue, tolerance, mutual respect, cooperation for the good of mankind, for all - and above all: we have to fight prejudice - about other individuals and nations. The turks are going in the opposite direction. New Turkey?
18. I am a Turk, yes I dislike Israel but I don't dislike Hamas
Onas   (11.03.14)
So, your poll is wrong concerning Hamas.
19. @18 you know NOTHING about statistics!
trump   (11.03.14)
Your opinion is NOT significant in a good sampling.
20. To: No. 18
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.03.14)
Good! Launch a flotilla, why don't you? Put your money where your stupid mouth is. Don't you even realize that Turkey is dying? How's it going so far, with ISIS at the Turkish gates? Are you planning to welcome them with open arms? Think Turkey has much of a future In NATO? American elections will be held tomorrow. The Republicans will have resounding victories on every level -- gubernatorial, representational and senatorial. Look for mealy-mouthed Turkey to get bounced out of NATO. Whatever will you do without those lucrative NATO bases? How do you propose that dead-broke Turkey will feed and succor the millions of Syrian refugees in your country? And ISIS is coming after you, next. How do you feel about Turkey now, asshole?
21. Not just Turkey, the world
Dan   (11.03.14)
Thanks to Sharon and Netanyahu and the settlers, the whole world hates Israel. Stay with Bibi and Israel will be gone in 5 years.
22. *18
Yahud ,   Litvanian   (11.03.14)
You are turk so no surprise here! Btw the fucking turks still deny massacre of 1000000 Armenians.

anton ,   istanbul   (11.03.14)
Parrot of the year has spoken again wanna bet on nato? :)
24. Onas # 18
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (11.03.14)
I bet you also dislike the great Ataturk. Did you know that in 1974 when Turkey was intervening in Cyprus the Turkish Air force shot Turkish ships by mistake. and it was Israeli school ship that rescued the Turkish marines in the sea? You are a NANKOR.
25. Well I Can See Sarah Is Making Some More Friends
World Citzen ,   the world   (11.03.14)
The more I read her posts the more I envision an acne-pocked teenager sitting in her bedroom with a laptop, drinking a diet soda, eating a candy bar and endlessly punching out ad hominem attacks all over the internet. My G_d she couldn't possibly be of the same culture (race?) that gave us fractional reserve banking?
26. Turks Surprised on IS Matter
Nabuquduriuzhur ,   Oregon, US   (11.03.14)
I'm surprised that the Turks didn't invade the parts of Syria and Iraq under IS control when Erdogan was given that power by the Turkish legislature. Turkey has been making noises about a new caliphate and taking IS-stolen territory would have been a way to triple the size of Turkey with little risk to themselves. It's one thing for IS to fight a cowardly and badly trained group like the Iraqi military. It's quite another for IS to try to stop a professional military with NATO weapons and almost 9 million reservists. IS wouldn't even slow them down, and Turkey would reach the Persian Gulf in less than 2 weeks. The oil fields alone would make it worth doing. Since he's said no adamantly to such, it suggests that Erdogan is all wind when it comes to claiming the Turks will expand.
27. A New Kemal Attaturk Needed
Nabuquduriuzhur ,   Oregon, US   (11.03.14)
It's been suggested that since no one is left from the period of the Sultanate, that no one in modern Turkey knows first hand just how bad things were prior to Attaturk's reforms. I believe that is correct. The Turks look at the territory they used to control, and how they invaded Asia Minor, and have a weird wish to return to those days. They don't think of the oppression that marked everyday life for Turks and their subjects under the sultanate. While Turkey is not free like Europe or Israel, they still have far more freedom than they did prior to Attaturk.
28. Anton is wrong again. Turkey was the role model for Nazis.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.03.14)

lucifer69 ,   Berlin   (11.03.14)
The Nobel price for Hate should be alloted to Turkey for acting like a clown this year.
30. To nr 18 Onas wants to announce to the whole Internet...
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.04.14)
....and the whole universe that he dislikes Israel - and he wants to announce it in an ISRAELI newspaper so that Jews/Israelis will get his message - yet he cannot explain what exactly has Israel done to Turkey and the Turks - besides existing as a Jewish state in our ancient homeland, defending ourselves against foreign attacks, claiming our capital and country and defending our independence and sovereignty. Existing, defending one's national identity and historical and legal rights to one's land, defending one's independence and sovereignty and claiming one's capital and country and defending one's territory, borders, airspace and waters and defending one's ethnic, demographic, territorial, legal and political integrity - these are minimum requirements for a nation to even exist. That's why Turkey hates Israel - Turkey hates Israel because Israel is a Jewish state. Turkey's problem with Israel is that it is a JEWISH state. It's the JEWS that the Turks hate. The fact that Turks invaded Africa, Middle East, the Balkans, Europe, Southern Russia and massacred Kurds, Armenians and Greeks seem to be less of a problem to the easily aggrevied Turks.
