1. In short: whenever Israel commits act of partial suicide, we

gain favor with this or that country (like Turkey)?
Let's give up on everything then (including south Tel Aviv) and be loved even in Mecca!
2. Erdogan is a tyrant

You can't have a rational relationship with a tyrant, especially one bent on your extermination.

Armenians
That is the Jewish way

5. ERDOGAN'S MOUTH
Jeff Block ,   Margate, FL   (05.24.18)
Turkey is in NATO and erdogan should decide what side he's on and watch his mouth and if he can't do that he should be thrown out of NATO and go with the Russians in the Iranians there should be a cost to running off at the mouth
6. “Realpolitik” is crap, Trump has proven it! No need for us

to engage in it.
In the end courage& integrity are awarded victory in the real world.
7. Turkey has long history treating Israel as 2nd class country

and 800 year occupation.
8. no normal ties as long as Pal problem remains unresolved
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (05.24.18)
Besides, Turkey, like Israel, is getting less secular and more Islamic.
9. Turkey id s a democ. Muslim state unlike Arab states....
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (05.24.18)
And Muslims happen to be in a perpetual confrontation with Zionism, which will last for centuries until Israel's eventual demise.
10. The Turk and Persian are demonic despots
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (05.24.18)
The Turk goat herder despot and the Persian camel merchant are very evil entities, they cannot dictate terms of containment to Israel, its all about survival of Israel. Israel will do what is in the best interest of Israel not the Turks or the Persian dictator. The Turk is trying revive the Ottoman empire, whilst the Persian dictator is trying to revive the Persian Empire, at the demise of Israel. This not going to happen. Israel is super power, and have military might to defeat the Turkish goat herder and Persian camel merchant both are demonic despots.
