The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged

- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Israelis ban Turkish coffee/hand out Armenian Genocide info

    sraelNN.com) Israeli coffee shop chain Ilan's has announced it will no longer serve its customers Turkish coffee, in protest of the airing of a grossly anti-Israeli scene in a Turkish television show. The scene showed IDF officers supposedly shooting Arab babies.

    Ilan's marketing manager said that “like all Israelis, we too were shocked to see the nauseating scenes from films showing IDF soldiers supposedly shooting small children. We believe everyone can take action [against the film] in his own way, and this is our modest and symbolic way.”

    The manager, Michal Shteg, said that "right now we have decided to stop selling 'Istanbul Coffee,' our Turkish blend, and we will continue like this until the situation improves.”

    "True, this is not a boycott that will hurt Turkey financially, it is not the boycott of IKEA - but this is a cultural boycott and a patriotic act, which expressed our lack of will to identify with those who act almost anti-Semitically. Because before everything – we are Israelis first."

    Armenian genocide reminder
    The "Im Tirzu" student movement will hold a protest rally at 12:30 on Friday opposite the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv. “Following the ugly anti-Semitic incitement of the past few days by the official Turkish TV station and the Turkish Prime Minister we will hold a performance to highlight the extent of the Turkish government's hypocrisy and lies,” the movement announced.

    "On the one hand,” it explained, “the Turks continue to deny the holocaust which they perpetrated against the Armenians between 1915 and 1918, and [yet] at the same time they dare to spread blood libels and lies about the State of Israel and the IDF.”

    The display will include photos from the Armenian genocide. Books about the genocide will be handed out to passersby and signs will be carried, calling on the Turks to take responsibility for the genocide they perpetrated.

    Re: Israelis ban Turkish coffee/hand out Armenian Genocide info

    In my opinion Israelis for now should listen to the advise of Defense Minister Barak and wait and see where this goes.

    Barak: “Turkey central actor in region, Israel should avoid hostility / Roni Sofer
    Following Turkey's cancellation of their joint military exercise with Israel, Jerusalem is trying to defuse flames. Defense minister says relations with Turkey are strategic: No place for getting pulled into fiery statements against them. Turkey: Cancellation not political.”

    Turkish TV show has IDF soldiers 'killing' Palestinian kids
    http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3790178,00.html
    New prime-time program on Ankara's state-sponsored channel TRT1 depicts monstrous image of Israeli military as bloodthirsty, murderous. Foreign Minister Lieberman summons acting Turkish ambassador following Ynet report, says 'This is a serious case of state-sponsored incitement'




    But to properly respond to this new Ankara prime-time program I suggest for Israel to send back the statue of Ataturk that was placed in Beer Cheva not too long ago……….the religious xxxs stopped it from being placed in Jerusalem.

    BTW, comment by Israelis in why they are not using the AG against the Turks is growing.

      Armenian Genocide recognition should be admission of a fact.

      Being used as a carrot and stick by a third party is an insult to those who died and the Armenian nation as a whole.

      Those bastard j.ews who play games with it should be ashamed of themselves if they have any decency.

      Also Armenians should be mature enough to see it as what it is.

      There is no conditional recognition or non recognition.
      Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
      Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
      Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

        The Israeli writer upgraded the annihilation of Armenians from "Genocide" status to "Holocaust" status in the article. They don't have the decency to recognize the events themselves but will damn well sit there and make a play on words and politics... disgusting and offensive to humanity.

          Turkey and Israel spar over Turkish television drama about Mideast conflict

          ISTANBUL, Turkey - Turkey on Friday shrugged off angry protests from Israel about a Turkish television drama that portrays Israeli soldiers as cruel and repressive and has deepened tension between the xxxish state and its key Muslim ally.

          The remarks by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu were the latest in a series of tart exchanges between two nations, whose close military and economic links have come under increasing strain since Israel's war against Islamic militants in Gaza at the beginning of this year.

          Davutoglu said Turkey is not "based on censorship" and that the state has no right to comment on the quality of broadcasts or the opinions expressed in them.

          "The Foreign Ministry is not an advisory body for TV series," he said a day after Israel rebuked Turkey's acting ambassador, warning the series could incite attacks against J3ws visiting Turkey.

          The 13-episode drama is "Ayrilik - Askta ve Savasta Filistin," which means Separation - Palestine in Love and War in Turkish, and tells a love story against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

          It appears on Turkey's state-owned TRT television, which is allowed some autonomy under the law, including the right to form joint ventures with private companies.

          Scenes in the series, which began Tuesday, include a soldier shooting a young girl, and a Palestinian man holding up a baby as he tries to cross a checkpoint - the baby is shot dead by a suspicious soldier. The next episode will air on Oct. 20.

          "TRT is, above all, an autonomous institution and the company that produced the series is a private company," Davutoglu said.

          Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, who oversees TRT, said the government rejected anti-Semitism and did not intend to spoil "good relations" with Israel. He said Israel's objections had boosted the show's ratings, and that another 13 episodes might be filmed if the first series is a success.

          "Is there anything in the series that is imaginary?" TRT's Web site quoted Bulent Erdinc, the series co-ordinator, as saying. "It is possible to find photographs of what Israelis did to Palestinians on the Internet."

          Turkey's Anatolia news agency quoted Erdinc as saying: "In the past, didn't Nazis persecute xxxs, the French persecute the Algerians, the Italians the Tunisians, the Americans the Vietnamese? Weren't Muslims subjected to genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina? Films were made about these issues."

          Last week, Turkey cancelled a military exercise in which Israeli pilots were to have participated. The decision appeared to be linked to Muslim anger over the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

          "Turkey cannot be seen as being in military relations with Israel at such a sensitive time, when there are no peace efforts, when peace has not gained momentum," Davutoglu said. "We cannot ignore what is going on in Gaza."

          Israeli officials are also concerned about warming ties between Turkey and Syria, which recently held high-level talk,s and are discussing joint military exercises. Last year, Turkey hosted indirect negotiations between longtime foes Israel and Syria.

          Media in Israel, where Turkey has long been seen as an ally and a popular tourist destination, have covered the friction extensively. The daily Yediot Ahronot reported that major workers' unions had decided to cancel planned vacations in Turkish resort towns.

          The paper quoted Yona Goldschlager, an official at the First International Bank of Israel, as saying that last year the bank took 500 managers to Turkey, but would not do so again.

          "This time, because of the cancellation of the exercise with the (Israeli military) and the anti-Semitic TV series, we are simply erasing it from our map," he said.

          But not all Israelis were calling off their trips. Next to the article on the cancellations, the paper ran a photo of smiling Israelis boarding a flight to Turkey on Thursday.

            Protest demanding to recognize Genocide in Israel



            October 16, “Im Tirtzu” Israeli movement held protest action near the Turkish Embassy in Israel. The movement activists organized an improvised display of photographs on Armenian Genocide and called on Turkish government to recognize the fact of “Armenian Holocaust” in Ottoman Empire. Im Tirtzu movement was founded by Israeli Universities’ students after the Second Lebanese war. The movement is aimed at enforcement and restoration of Zionist values in Israeli society.

            The protest was held in the context of Israeli-Turkish relations’ deterioration.

                This is all cover story, behind the scenes the Turkish and Israeli intelligence and military are going out to lunch and having cups of coffee. It's all a political game, and Israel just wants to threaten Turkey into line again.

                  The Israelis worked with the turks most powerfully and diligently in the US congress for more than 30 years to have the Armenian Genocide denied by the US Congress so that Armenians won't get any reparations or lands back; and now that the turks/US/Russians/France/EU pushed Armenia to the end to sign the bloody protocols, now suddenly the turks are bad for the Israelis that they denied the AG? Both US and Israel purposely created the March 1 illegitimacy of Serje Sarksyan's polls and presidential nomination so that the US and Israel could push Sarksyan to sign the deadly protocols as if to forget Sarksyan's presidential illegitimacy. Who are they kidding?

                  The AG now surely is being used by Israel against turkey for their purposes.

                    Re: Israelis ban Turkish coffee/hand out Armenian Genocide info

                    Under Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davutoglu, Turkey seems to be making moves to make it a regional (Middle Eastern) power. They already had the military and economic leverage for quite some time, however with their official policy of "Ataturkism" (complete Western orientation by "breaking with the past") they were still an outsider in the Arab and Muslim worlds. Starting in early 2000s, Turkey has been actively "embracing" its "Ottoman roots" as Davutoglu has gone as far as to formulate a policy of Neo-Ottomanism.

                    Israel is worried that Turkey might slip away. The majority of the population of Turkey (even metropolitan) still remained traditional, which means even if nominal adhering to Islam and its values, thus sharing more of a connection with the Palestinians than the Israelis.
