Students hurl eggs at car of Israel's ambassador to Turkey

Is there a difference between eggs and phospherous munitions and flechettes? I thought there was.

When Saddam attacked innocent Kurds in Halepce which country open borders can you englight me?When French etc. accepting 1-2 immigrants with checkin their teeths!

of Israeli civillians with years of Qassam bombings?? Massacre?? If thats what Israel wanted in Gaza they could have done it in half an hour from the air,not fighting house to house against men with no honor and no uniforms. If you do not like massacres maybe you should protest to Syria-Hama,Jordan-PLO or the Palestinians for Damur etc etc. Occupation? Remember Kurdistan.? So tell us what is your REAL problem. Anti semitism? Look at what is published by the media in Islamic countries.!Racist lies that are not about Israel just Jews.

Palestinian Semitic people are, according to Shlomo Zand (Professor, European History, University of Tel Aviv), descendants of the original Jewish/Hebrew inhabitants of Bible (and converted to either Christianity or to Islam, whereas the vast majority of those that Israel deems to be Jews, are, in fact, converts to Judaism with absolutely no link to the ancient Hebrews of the Bible, the Prophet Abraham, or even to the Middle East except insofar as they have adopted such an identity for themselves. For example, Professor Zand (see attached links:http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=16285&pst=1333138), has now shown that Ashkenazim (European Jews) are descendants of the Khazar Tribe who converted to Judaism between ninth and eleventh centuries, many Jewish people of North African origin are descended from the Berbers, and other Jewish people are regional converts to Judaism (again no link to historic Palestine), and, that, therefore, there is no return to the Pronmised Land.

of Israeli actions against Palestinian civilians. Defense is one thing, but thinking only of Israeli citizens and let everyone else be damned is a road to becoming a pariah with everyone in the world except the US Congress. No, you are not a victim, but a cruel victimizer.

we've all seen the videos of your nretheren spitting and throwing things at those poor pal women, don't like it when it happens to you, do you?

A recent survey showed that more than 60 percent of Turks "dislike" Jews (not just Israelis). I wonder what the imams preach in the mosques? I am angry too at what happened to civilians in Gaza, but even Turkey's recent record is too incriminating - just think of the ethnic cleansing of Eastern Turkey the last 15 years - to proclaim moral superiority. Erdogan is a populist Islamist and he will use any means possible to gain popularity - and disguised hatred of Jews (or xenophobia in general terms) and Israel bashing can help him achieve that. A lot of Turks might be easy to fool because of still wide-spread ignorance, but not inlightened people. The Erdogan government can bash Israel as much as it wants and flirt with totalitarian regimes in the Middle East, but it will only push Turkey farther away from the EU. Is that what we want?

isn't it? You sit at home in your plush midtown condo, reading your Toronto Star...probably never have even visited Israel. You know nothing and you have no right to judge what it takes to stop terror. Israel had the right to do whatever it had to do to stop Hamas. Period.

Its not about boycotting Turkey, its about not going where Jews are in danger. Clearly there is an air of anger and animosity towards the Jews and Israel in Turkey. Sharon is just saying it like it is. Once again, you UK liberals are so blinded by god knows what, that you can't see reality.

Every dead person is a tragedy - but still one had to look at relative numbers - what did Turkey kill in Kurds, what about Sudan in Darfur, Syria, Jordan, etc, etc- It is documented that Arab regimes are responsible for 12Million death in the 20th century alone. We have not seen Turkey TV produce any Shows or Movies similar to what they have done re Israel. Ignoring the fact that Hamas actually was firing on Israel. Where were the movies re Hamas attack on Fatah members (or reverse) - What about the 800+ Palestinians that the PA has killed, etc, etc. This all is equal to Bias. Also are you ignorant of all the publications re Israel & Jews ?? - Where is the indignation re Palestinians civilians killed by lebanon recently ? where is the indignation that in fact there are 3 generations of Palestinians in Lebanon camps with second class status (70 occupations not allowed, can't buy property, etc) - Yet the Great Satan America, and others are allow similar refugees to gain citizenships

Contempt for the world, breeds contempt from the world.

15 - if Israel was not powerfull it would not exist as the Arabs keep stating. Hamas Charter is clearly not around 67 borders - and Fatah claimed just as well (they did not sign up with the PLO). Before Israel was created there were massacres of Jews in virtually all Arab countries - before even the Balfour Deceleration - and up to and after the creation of Israel (nothing to do with 48, 67, etc). Look at Coptic Christians in Egypt (and Egypt is considered Moderate), Look at Christians in Lebanon, In fact look at treatment of Christians in Palestinian Territories, Look at the bastion of tolerance (the so called moderate) Saudi Arabia, look at all the 44 hot spots around the world which are with Islam (86% of all conflicts around the world)- none to do with 67 - all have one common item - Islam - if it is in Sudan, Indonesia, Pakistan, etc,etc - When Palestinians supported Sadam Hussain invasion of Kuwait was it because of Israel 67 boarders ? 12Million dead in 20th C by Islam!!!

Avoid Turkey - use the tourist $$$ is Australia or USA - much nicer places and both know how to deal with Islamic extremists. If you visit Australia - you will see a whole continent (no other country can boast that). At the same time you also avoid Londistan and Eurobia - for a peaceful down under experience.

But then again, at this stage of the game, Turkey is more civilized than Israel. I never thought I'd write that, but today it's true.

I think you'll find everyone's just had a gutful of Israel's behaviour as a nation and as a people. The "anti senitism cannard does't really fly anymore. You need to rebrand.

Cengiz, I like Turks who like Jews. You are right that this could have happened anywhere, but if it HAD happened to the Turkish ambassador in Israel, there would have been international condemnation of Israel. We would never have heard the end of the uproar. Turkey would have recalled its egg-stained ambassador and would have called for diplomatic ties to be severed. But since it happened in Turkey to the Israeli ambassador, well, these things happen--just kids making a fuss--it couldn't have been prevented, etc. etc. etc. Israel is held to impossible standards.

Turkey should end Cyprus occupation immediately

I am a student of this university. Some people talk without any knowledge, this is a protest against siyonist occupation and massacres. Those are leftist students and they also opposes current government. those people do not think that "jews are bad" these people stand against occupations in palestine. So think twice when talking about anti semitism. I know your only argument is "anti semitism" but ıt is not true. the fact that israil killed almost seven hundered mostly civilians in Gaza. and you are still talking about anti semitism. what a shame!

When will the Kurds be given their state? The Kurds are citizens of Turkey, the queswtion is when will Israel give the Palestinians citizenship?

Nice of Czarkazem to correlate Israel with Turkish treatment of the Kurds, Afrikaner treatment of blacks, etc. Not too far off the truth. And bravo Turkey for growing a pair. This expansionism should be met with international sanctions by the international community - oh that's right I forgot: international law is just a hypothetical concept...

Pre '67 found NO palestinian nationalists. Just Jordanians and Egyptians. Pre '67 doesn't exist now, Israel can't give those territories back to their pre '67 owners, they don't want the "palestinians" either.

Otherwise he might have been blown up by a white phosphorous shell. He got off easy. Prison time is in the cards for some Israeli officers.

I pitty the Kurds if they are to be 'saved' by the Turks! Or is 'shaved' from the throat upwards! Come to the plain historical facts Turkey's only histoty its her Criminal Record!

with you. Israel is the most powerful country in the region including Turkey. Using the excuse that you are defending yourself in order to expand Israel's boundaries and oppress the Palestinians is B.S.

...then the Turks wouldn't care. They might even applaud Israel's efforts. Hopefully the Hutu and the Afrikaners will also express their distaste for Israel's oppression of the Palestinians.

Of perfectly good eggs. Why don't the just spit on him the way jews spit at catholic priests?

Even in cynicism or in jest, there is never a justification for suggesting suicide bombings. My brother was a victim,as were thousands around the world. Shame!

Jews defending themselves stokes antisemitism. They only love dead jews.

Uk is also very "friendly"(!) country.We can watch everyday what happens to Pakistani and other Muslims in Uk.Pls you,don't come to Turkey.We don't like people like you. The Jews can come :) I like them. If Gabby visits a nationalist university,surely it happens.This can be in every country.The protesters(student group) is also against AKP government,Kurds..etc..

Greeks have committed the worst crimes against Kurds, Greeks and Armenians. Hypocrites.

Why does the world ignore the Kurd's right to their own State encompassing part of Turkey? Perhaps the Kurds should resort to terrorism and suicide bombings to win world and UN support?

So it's Boycott Turkey as well now is it? Seems as though whenever I check this site out there is an irate Jew demanding the boycott of some country or another. There won't be many places left for you to travel soon...short of the USA of course.

These acts of violence that go unpunished in Turkey against Israel's ambassador are hostile acts that could be misconstrued and considered a prelude to war historically speaking.

It seems that Turkey has gone more and more to become Islamic extremist. That is a shame as it was becoming more modern.

Kind of doubt it.

oppression of the Palestinians does more to stoke antisemitism than anything that Erdogan does.

All Jews must avoid Turkey. There is a dangerous shadow of bigotry, ruthlessness, ignorance and antisemitism which is hidden behind the intoxicating beauties of it's nature : don't go there!

He was in prison for inciting religious hatred;now he is PM. This is the man Bnai Brith chose as man of the year after he was elected. Shame on Bnai Brith,
