Report: Israeli cafe boycotts Turkish coffee amid tensions

Well i do like Greek Coffee since they cook it the Turkish way. You know anything about the history of coffee?

Before going to Cyprus (Greek part) I was told not to use the term "Turkish coffee" as it could offend the locals. After landing in Limasol and checking into the hotel, I sit down in the lobby and asked a young waiter for a cup of "Greek coffee". "You mean Turkish coffee?" was the answer. This guy is my cup of tea.

We really do not care. Actually, we will be happy if you stop drinking Turkish coffee for good. Why don't you call your ambassador, Gabby Levy, for consultations and make us a suprise and never send him back to Turkey. Really, we do not care anymore.

Instead of French Fries, we called here in the States Freedom Fries. For Israel: it should be defense coffee instead of T.coffee

a sensible reaction to an unsensible Middle East!

Habibi, Israelis and all the Jews around the world and our supporters can drink Greek coffee. Obviously we can put a bit of Armenian Cognac in the coffee (Armenian Cognac is the best in the world).

and you should train your solders with Sirian or Iraqis next time I heard they are very brave ones. 1000 years of good relationship down the drain for what? Just don't tell me that Etrogan cares about Palestinians so much.

Why does Turkey continually pick the wrong allies (Syria and Iran)? Do they see Obama as a weakling? Didn't they learn their lessons during WWI and WWII? At least Libya saw the writing on the wall in 2003 during the Iraq invasion.

..and Israel has 7.3 million citizen. Now, Turks are very proud people, and if they retaliate by boycotting Israelis products like pesticides, fertilisers or maybe even Intel chips (why not buy AMD instead?), well, who, do you think, will be hurt more? Do the math.

... also want to express my patriotism: from today I stopped eating turkey... taking Turkish baths and eating Turkish delight...

It'll drive em nuts! I had a greek neighbor and apparently its a very sensitive subject to both sides.

After the war crimes Israel has committed in Gaza and the way Israel chose settlements over peace...did they think there would be no consequences? There is a good reason why Israel has so few friends in the World. I hope Turkey cuts ties with Israel...and I hope more states follow.

Hello everyone, I am a turkish man living in Belgium. As i was thinking about the world today,relations between human from different kind of religions,the 'timespirit' which we all live in and can't change(captured in allways the same toughts and political realities),the meaning of life and death,the effect of massmedia on individuals i was wondering this simple question: shall i ever speak a jew before i die?a couple of months ago a jewish man invited me in his house, they were celebrating a special day, to pick up the electricity wire and so i did. I am a muslim guy but i was happy to enter a jewish house and meet this people.I'm not brainwashed by the television and understand that hate doesnt solve problems.I don't feel hate when a see a jew, i just think about how it came so far that people can hate so easily.Let me tell you hate is so dangerous,it's like a virus that can influence the whole world which we are living in, and no-one will benefit from it, at the end.

that's what I thought. thank you.

Boycoytt is a dangerous game that Israel should not promote. The history of the Jewish community in Turkey is a positive one, let 's not damage this.

Maybe you should remain Turkish Coffee as FREEDOM Coffee. Sounds familiar. Yep it would make you look just as pathetic as the Americans were with their freedom fries.

Well, we Turks will be happy when you stop drinking Turkish coffee. But do not do this protest on a temporary basis! Be mean and honest, stop drinking it. Kurdish coffee with Armenian creme is much better but it is tasteless! So what, no problem for us, lol

"Israeli tourism to Turkey plummeted by about 60%" But only when omitting that -60% of Israeli tourists means -1,4% of Turlish tourism overall. And that does not take into account that part of the 60% drop is attributable to the overall economic crisis. I know you don't like the truth, but the truth is that Israel cannot hurt any country economically. Even if it really tried.

Try boycotting all tourism to Turkey and the Turkish part of Cyprus, boycott all Turkish advertising sponsors and products, including vehicles assembled in Turkey. Boycott should hit the pocket books hard. Send a loud enough economic message and watch the dogs come with their tails beneath their legs.

So it looks like boycott games season is open. Can Israel win? I doubt.

Boycott turkish coffee, boycott turkish tourism how do you want, but that shows how much capacity of Democracy in Israel is. The Turks save jewish people and the jewish culture in their Land. Turkey and the old turkish Empires show respect for jewish people, but Israel is damage this with his boycotts. The statement of Turkish Goverment is not important than the Turkish people. I think Israel will lose a friendly ground in the middle east, and in the world. All Israelian jews should go to Turkey. There is no racism like another states. Critize Israel is not anti-semitic, Beeing jewish is not an Isralian Trademark or another thing. Democracy is a foreign word for Isralian goverment and their papers i think...
