The number of Israeli tourists visiting Turkey has plunged by a record 60.5 per cent in the first five months of the year, following Ankara’s fierce criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza.
Turkey attracted only 64,200 tourists from Israel between January and May, compared to 162,600 in the same period last year, the tourism ministry said Wednesday. A total of 558,200 Israelis traveled to Turkey in 2008, making it their top holiday destination.
The drastic decline followed a public row in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 29, when Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan accused Israel of «barbarian» acts and told Israeli President Peres,«you know well how to kill people».

My comment:
There is a simple principle that Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan needs to learn about how God will act towards him:
God spoke to Abraham, and his offsprings, his son Isaac and Jacob, later renamed Israel.
Genesis 12:3
«I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.»
When Erdogan curses Shimon Peres it will only harm him self. And since he is a leader, also the people he leads.
Now the Turkish tourism industry is bleeding, and the people of Israel stays home with more money in their bank account.
Its also funny to notice, that when ever a secular or leftist unions speaks about boycotting Israel, all true Christians and lovers of Israel runs to the shop to buy more Israeli products.
And the best part of it. Both they and the Jewish people are blessed.
