1. Erdogan's tough-guy posturing is all a facade
Expat ,   Adelaide   (04.11.13)
The economic ties with Israel are too important for Turkey to relinquish. Not to mention, the grave ramifications on Turkey's dealings and relationship with Europe and America, if it imposes a trade embargo on Israel. Erdogan knows that well, and for that reason, he would never dare to make such move. Yet for internal propaganda purposes, in order to gain popularity with the simple people on the streets - he postures as some tough-guy with militant rhetoric on Israel. But it's all a facade. His son's dealings with Israel is hardly a surprise.
