Quoting AEnigmamagnadea: Hadar I would take these "official" comments very lightly. Ask yourself how good the relationship is between muslims and jews (please feel free to refer to the Quran and see what the prophet Mohammad says about jews) and then ask yourself how many Turks are muslims - then draw your own conclusions 
If you are still in doubt, please let me know and I can provide you with links to threads on this website where Turkish members have given their very frank and candid opinions on Israel and Jews  |
We as a Turk can honestly say that, we have no problems with people and what they believe... If a couple of sick people say some nonsense... you cannot generalize..
This is was the first point... And secondly... i think i am the one who lives here and knows the reality better here...
the opinion about the Israel is consisting what governments do here...
its like greece and turkey... politics are bad... but society adore eachother...
And Hadar, dont hesitate about anything... just come and see by your own...

Yes, me too as a turk, I can assure you that Turkey is one of the best countries for jews. Even in europe there's much more hatred towards jews. That's why most muslim countries are angry about Turkey being so friendly with jews. The things some turks says consider rather some of the acts of the state of Israel, but let's look at the reality, Turkey and Israel get along really well, and they have very close relations. In Turkey and in Ottoman Empire there has never been an antisemitic movement.
As for the turkish jews, just ask them, how life is for them, and how they are accepted into the society. Me, too I know some jews in my university, or in my surrounding, I have never seen someone behave them differently.
If you know french, listen to this reportage with Ishak Alaton, a turkish jew, the owner of one of the biggest turkish companies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhzMeQMxpxY&feature=related
BTW I heard that Turkey is the number one holiday destination of Israel jews.

I think it's not just an idea, it comes from our observations and experiences on which she can rely on

Quoting AEnigmamagnadea: how many Turks are muslims |
In combination with your post about Muslim-Turks & alcohol, this statement doesn't make sense It means you think the majority of Turkish muslims do not think and act accordign to the book, and now, suddenly, you tell her to look at what the book says because Turkish people are Muslim.
My personal opinion anyway is that in Turkey it really differs from region to region, but I don't think religious discrimination is any more dangerous than, for example, in the Netherlands.
And it's always better to be Jewish than to be an atheist
