Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday stormed off the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, red-faced after verbally sparring with President Shimon Peres over the recent fighting in Gaza. Erdogan was angry after being cut off by a panel moderator after listening to an impassioned monologue by Peres defending Israel's recent 22-day offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Just a note: Many Muslim believe that Attaturk, the leader at the time of the Armenian genocide was a secret Jew.

Darn. Did a search too.

Erdogan told Peres: "You are killing people."

Sometimes that is a thing that must be done. Israel must defend herself.

nickcarraway did the right thing. I’m glad he did it because now I can read the earlier comments.

I know that sometimes, no matter how much you search, you can’t find the existing article.

another popular lie. The russians said the same thing back in the late 1880s as a way to keep support for the Tsars.

And today we have similar idiocy which thinks that jews were behind the 9/11 attack and that Jews were all called at home and told not to show up at work that day so they wouldn’t be accidentally killed.

Insanity is old and it never gets any better.

Perez is a wuss.

I watch the whole Peres talk about why Israel took action on c-span, before the Turkish prime minister walked off. It was EXCELLENT! President Shimon Peres expressed the whole situation with clarity and passion. Will the networks report that? No, instead they'll report this Turkey who made absolutely no sense in what he was saying and acted like a child.

Mustafa Ataturk was a pedophile syphilitic nightmare butcher on a par with Hitler/Stalin.
