Israeli tourism to Turkey plummets

The storming of the Gaza Flotilla, led to feelings of uncertainty and the repercussions continue to ripple. Israeli tourist brokers have announced an almost total freeze in tourists planning trips to Turkey. Even in Turkey Israelis holidaying there fearing terrorist attacks have cancelled tours and excursions, returning to hotels and awaiting flights home. Turkey has been a favoured tourist destination for Israelis. According to statistics from the Airports Authority, in 2008, 530,000 Israelis visited Turkey, in 2009 that number was 300,000 but this year it will fall to barely a few thousand. That will lead to a fall in over $200m to the Turkish economy. Israelis will now have the choice of either staying at home or maybe visiting similar nearby Medierranena destininations such as Cyprus or Rhodes?

There are no genocicie in this world being not proven in 100 years in spite of all efforts put by Christian world. There are solid evidences like opened mass graves full of Muslim remains in East Anatolia..70% children and woman massacred brutally by Armenians.. same as in Cyprus. Not even one Greek child's grave killed by Turks exists in Cyprus but murdered and burned Turkish children graves in hundreds. Genocide is a Christian habbit not Turkish.. see recent Bosnian genocide by Christian Serbs

@deeptuber109, yeah, dumbass, the SEVERAL genocides the turks conducted are well-documented. whether the particular losers detained in malta (if any of this is factual) had something to do with it or not isn't the issue.

Not only were turks the inspiration for hitler's genocides, but they were conducted against armenians, greeks, assyrians and kurds. turkey's shameful history continues with the ongoing genocide against kurds and cypriots--FAR worse than israel's occupation of palestine.

@muslUnbounded British Foreign Office Washington representative, R. C. Craigie, wrote to Lord Curzon:

"I regret to inform your Lordship that there was nothing therein which could be used as evidence against the Turks detained at Malta ..no concrete facts given to constitute any incriminating evidence. The reports do not appear in any case to contain evidence against Turks even for the purpose of corroborating information already in the possession of His Majesty's Government.''

@muslUnbounded With those genocide tails you can only trick ignorant and prejudiced piteous bustards like yourself. A genocide recognized by an int'l court verdict.

After WW2 Hitler's and Germany's act was found guilty at Nurenberg Courts.

After WW1 High ranked Ottoman military personel and bureaucrats (122) were held in Malta for 2 years under arrest and all released as no evidence of any war crime found against them.

Read the following post.. Einstein ./..

@muslUnbounded

The British looked everywhere to find evidence against those who had been sent to Malta. Despite the complete cooperation of wome enthusraztic supporters such as the Ottoman Liberal Union (38) ANDONIAN, Aram, Documents Officiels concernant les Massacres Armenians, Paris, Armenian National Delegation, 1920. (39) Daily Telegraph, 29 May 1922. government, nothing incriminating could be found among the Ottoman government documents. ./..

@poyraz100, The turkish occupation of Cyprus is actually less just than the Israeli occupation of Palestine. You turks are just too stupid to see past your propaganda, even though your generals and previous leaders have admitted that TURKS committed most of the atrocities they used to "justify" the 1974 invasion.

The Israelis have been FAR more lawful than the turks. turkey is just an expansionistic piece of warmongering shit which will end up radioactive and extinct.

@thzrealist, you will see it in your lifetime. turkey wouldn't even exist if the West hadn't abandoned the Greeks in 1923 in order to keep you from their imperialistic domination. The West has plans for turkey, and they don't end well for you because of your stupid religion. The ultra-rich work for a church-state union where the rich are "nobles".

The Ultra-rich in Europe are doing VERY well. Even Germany is benefitting from the turmoil and that means the Ultra-rich are doing AMAZINGLY well.

@muslUnbounded  full of nonsense.... what an amazing fantasy (!) You Should Do a film about that, If you can show that ultra-rich europe slowly goes to end... LOL

@poyraz100, turks can always be relied on to make statements like a drunk. Cyprus is a Greek island, it has been populated by Greeks for at least 3000 years and probably much longer. Turks are nothing but an intrusive and incredibly rude form of jew who condemn israel for treating palestinians with MORE respect and humanity than turks treat Cypriots and Kurds. The Kurds will outnumber the turks in the future and Kurds will enslave the turks with cruelty. Those will be times of revenge.
