    This is a ridiculous question. When you ask a hypothetical question you get a hypothetical answer. Unlike the USA, Canada, Australia, Israel is a Jewish state like Hungary where the population is mostly Hungarian, Poland where the population is Polish, etc.

    The modern Israel on the historical Jewish land was specifically set up to become a refuge for the persecuted Jews. Everybody needs a home. The Arabs have 22 large, very large and small homes. The Swedes have a home, the Germans, the Russians and now even the Jews have a place they can call home. The Jewish home is a tiny one, a piece of real estate where a Jew can always escape to from the persecution and anti-Semitism in France or an Arab land like Tunis.

    You obviously have the wrong idea about the Israeli Jews. Israel is moving forward technologically, economically, etc. precisely because the Jews do not harbor the hatred against anyone. It is hard but it is necessary. As much as the Jews remember the past they look forward toward the brighter future without the tragedies of the past. Take a look at the Jewish adversaries. All of them are wasting their energies on pure hate. Consequently, they are backward, tyrannical and economically inferior.

    As for Turkey, the relationship between the 2 countries is not always easy but it is very hard to dislike the Ottomans who gave refuge to the Jews.

    The problem is not with "muslims." It is with Arab occupation of our homeland and their attempts to exterminate us. Nobody cares about their religion, and nobody here really cares if there are some Turks living here.

    please get real...a non-suspicious Turkish citizen passes through the Israeli custom/border control just as easy as a non-suspicious American does. Some Turks are living in the area since the Ottomans ruled the area.

    A good question, Toga. Especially, as he now lives in Finland.

    Finland is one of the very expensive country in EU. I have lot's of good Jewish-Turk friends and far relatives living in Israel. My mission is education in a foreign country for a while. I believe Israeli Universities are 10 times better than Europeans...

    I also want to learn Hebrew and taste the Israeli culture.

    Israel has rich cultural and religious history, natural and architectural beauty, colorful society, and outstanding academic institutions has made it one of the top ten study-abroad destinations.

    And i think Israelis are very friendly to us.

    My political mission of living in Israel is the terrorism and it's tragedies. I could report opinions from Israel and try to make a lobby in my own country; take anti-semitism level as down as i can.

    Another reason is the racism; especially Neo-Nazism in Europe. I just got bored of the neo-nazi skinhead groups on the streets

    Is it so bad?

    Serdar my Uncle lived for half a year in Israel, he said people were very warm and hospitable and as a Turk the cultures arnt that distant.

    He said Turkish Coffee is popular and they call it by that name, not imitation names like Lebanease of something else.

    The music apparently is very vibrant and lively. He told us that there are alot of people who can communicate in Turkish and know about Ottoman Istanbul and its lifestyle.

    Technology is very advanced and it is very modern.

    Follow your ideals, promoting Israeli-Turkish friendship can be built up stronger by representatives visiting Israel and Turkey and founding NGO movements to promote cultural, economic, literary, tourism etc etc projects.

    I'm not knocking your particular reasoning for you as an individual to move to Israel (though the first time an Israeli military/police roadblock or such mistakes you for a Palestinian you might feel differently yourself) - but I find the whole of your inquiry here bordering on the absurd.

    BTW the proper term would be Yemeni Coffee...just because the Turks have taken credit for Austrian misattribution and haven't bothered to correct anyone (who mistakenly believes that the origin of such coffee to be Turkish) in 5+ centuries does not mean that it is the "true" name for it and others' claims are imitation. It is just like (some) Turks to claim that which rightly belongs to another culture as their own and be the ones to take offense when others point out that in fact such things were not Turkish invention or origination.

    I take it you have no desire for Turkey to join the EU then...and do you believe that the great many Turks now residing in Germany should return home?

    I won't address the issue of who is truely "native" to Anatolia as I do accept that it is (for the most part) properly "Turkey" now (and that the greater portion of those who call themselves "Turks" are in fact more properly descended from locals/nearby peoples of the past)...but consider that if Osman felt as you do - you might be living in Turkmenistan even now (if you would ever be born as "you" at all....I don't suppose you could likley ethnically claim to be 100% pure "Turk" from the Asian Steppe now could you? ...just how folded-over are your eyelids anyway?)...so perhaps there are legitimate reasons why people are motivated to consider different pastures...and also consider that many people have no choice...their homeland (native country) no longer welcomes them (or more properly the occupying government of such does not)....Jews should understand this quite well...
