Turkey has lost 40000 innocent people to terrorism in the last 15 years and Israel helped us get the bastard responsible for it.

First of all, the Arabs were the ones that were stabbing the Ottomans in back when Jews and Turks were dying side by side, defending Jerusalem and the rest of the Middle East from British invasion. So as far as most Turks care, the Arabs can bend over and take everything they deserve up the taiipipe. Its their fault they got themselves into this mess and that's not only because they stabbed us in the back. The Middle East problem is entirely artificial and came up because the stubborn Arabs couldn't come to terms with the fact that Israel is there to stay and is not going anywhere whether they like it or not. Their greed about not letting Jews have that small piece of land to live in will cost them even more than it has in the wars they started and miserably tried to crush Israel only to be severely humiliated every time.
Next one must point out the fact that Turks would much rather have Israel as a neighbor than any Arab country. The Jews have never betrayed us and we have always tried to help them the best we could throughout the 700 years of our mutual history.
However, a friend is not someone that tells you what you want to hear all the time. A friend tries to guide you in the right direction and always says what's right for you whether it makes you happy at the time or not.
These words should be understood in this context. The extremely harsh attitude Sharon is taking towards the Palestinians is hurting Israel much more than it is hurting them. It's helping them gain support in the Arab and international community because undescriminant bombing of civilian areas is not an effective way to fight terrorism. The fact that those people mat sympathise with the terrorists is not important. The masses sympathise with those that offer them hope. People bombing them do not fit into this description.The way to fight these terrorist creatures is to find them one by one and take them out. No trial, no lawyers, no arrests. Israel is well capable of doing that. Nonone would object if Israel went after those bastards like it normally does and gives them what they deserve.
Another point is that, Arafat doesn't seem to have an alternative. Who else do you see that you can negotiate with among those bastards they have as leaders? The fact that the SoB is/was(?) a terrorist is not important. He's at least the most sensible guy among them. It is Israel that chose to live with the Palestinians when it chose not to kick them out when it had the chance 50 years ago (a civilized thing to do but who cares about civilized manner among Israel's neighbours?).
Sharon must keep a cool head and do what is best for his people. Starting another war is not the way to serve Israel's interests.
Remember who your real friends are and listen to them when they talk. There is a Turkish saying that goes soemthing like : "Friends talk bitter words"
Yes, but it might help keep some innocent Jews alive, you idiot Nevile Chamberlains.

france is long on rhetoric and short on actions. i expect that they will soon make it more difficult for the israelis to get french visas for travel to france, as retaliation.
