A panel gone awry
Posted by Max Bergmann

For those of us who have had to organize panel discussions - my sympathies go out to the staffers at Davos who must have been flipping out as the panel on Gaza got heated and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan stormed off the stage (see video there). Erdogan and Israeli President Simon Peres were arguing about Gaza when the moderator - the Washington Post's David Ignatius - tried to move the discussion on - but Erdogan was not finished and stormed off the stage in protest. Later Erdogen said he did not leave because of the heated exchange with Peres but because of the moderator not alloting him time to respond. As he returned home however Erdogan was greeted as a hero for his defiance and clearly played to the crowd saying: "I only know that I have to protect the honour of Turkey and Turkish people."

The incident is potentially serious. Israel has had close diplomatic relations with Turkey, which have been particularly important in mediating talks or conflicts between Israel and its neighbors - especially with Syria. A further souring of these relations would only put in place another obstacle to rekindling the peace process.

I have moderated my share of panels too, and understand the challenges of managing the debate and time constraints at the same time. But Ignatius seemed supremely unconcerned about time constraints as he let Peres ramble on for 25 solid minutes, while Erdogan say quietly and patiently, writing notes for his response. To then cut Erdogan off was stunning, and will naturally be viewed as a contemptuous affront.

US foreign relations and our foreign reputation are not solely in the hands of our government, but are the mutual responsibility of each American acting abroad. Ignatius represents one of our flagship newspapers, and whether he intended to or not, he sent a message of American partiality toward Israel and contempt for the opinions of the Muslim world which undermines ten bland Al-Arabiyya interviews put together.

If I'm someone in the Middle East today, I'm going to be fuming with one of the oldest complaints against the US: "You don't listen!"

Like most people, I didn't watch the full one and a half-hours of the debate. I just watched the last eight minutes.

Let me just say that, if I were a debate moderator in a panel which included the UN Secretary General, Secretary General of the Arab League, the President of Israel and the Prime Minister of Turkey, I wouldn't try to cut one of them off by saying "we have to get people to dinner".

I watched the debate myself. I have to say the moderation was poor, and it was true that Erdogan was not given the chance to respond. Moreover moderator behaved inapproriately towards the prime minister. Erdogan did the right thing
Genc, Istanbul

It is interesting that the Turkish Prime Minister is so concerned for human rights of the Palestinians and yet look at what Turkey does to the Kurds. And let's not get started on the Armenians.
Michael Julian, London

This has been another clear example of Erdogan's hypocrisy. It was only last year when Erdogan was welcoming Omar al-Bashir, Sudan's president to Istanbul who has been accused of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur. If you disagree with killing of innocent people it should be on all grounds, not only for certain groups.
Engin Turan, London, UK

First and foremost, I do not support Israel's actions in Gaza, nor should any sane human being. I think the Turkish Prime Minister's action and his comments are commendable to say the least. I have never respected any Prime Minister or leader as much as I now respect him. He has proven that world leaders can defend justice. His people's welcome is a God given sign of God' blessing of his action.
Tina Saad, Al-Ain, UAE

Why should Erdogan be "hailed"? His actions showed an immaturity and a lack of ability to convey his thoughts. This is not the leadership qualities one would expect from a person in his position.
Sam, USA

Erdogan is certainly not regarded as a hero in Turkey. It's true that for some Turks, the Palestine-Israel conflict is almost like a matter of pride, they always react more on this issue than say Muslims dying in Iraq or Sudan. Erdogan just exploits these feelings before the elections. This is a guy who says "rage is a type of rhetoric" and insults everyone from farmers to ambassadors in Turkey too. USA and EU supported him so far, in the benefit of their companies exploiting resources of Turkey. To me, this is a story of Erdogan’s hypocrisy against the Western hypocrisy in the Middle East.
Ozge , Lancaster

I believe it is unfair that the Moderator didn't give Turkey PM enough time to respond to President Peres's speech. The Washington Post Moderator reason came out as though Dinner is much more important than what these people are in Davos for. Is it really Dinner that these Politicians, World Leaders and Business Leaders fly to Davos for every year? Someone has to explain this to the rest of the world. These people care less about the real world problems and a lot more about their stomach and face time. This is quite sad. No wonder we have so many problems in the world. Talking through tough issues, and finding friendly ways to solving them take the back seat. Dinner takes the front seat. It is really, really sad.
- Ed, SF, USA

One of the fundamental principles of debate is that both sides get a fair chance to present their arguments. Too often the media (including the BBC) fail in this when it comes to the Palestinian/Israeli issues. Erdogan did the right thing and I hope this highlights the lack of impartialty on their part due to the overbearing influence of Israel over the media.
Irshad Akhtar, London, UK

I support Israel now more than ever. The Israeli Government has the right to defend its people.
Eduardo Silva, Belo Horizonte - Brazil

The small businesses are getting ignored in these issues, especially when looking for small business loans or financing.
The big corporations don’t seem to have an issue raising money by selling bonds, big bank loans. Small business loans aren’t getting approved that’s why so many are looking to business cash advances to leverage their credit card receipts.

Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little as ten years ago, you cannot help being struck by the appearance of the women taking part. Their hair-styles and make-up look dated; their skirts look either too long or too short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous. The men taking part in the film, on the other hand, are clearly recognizable. There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that they belong to an entirely different age.

information is very clear. good and understandable explanation. super-topics. Thank you for sharing a very nice web site.

We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'
