The government of Israel is responsible for abandoning the residents of Sderot. Every further delay in a military operation in Gaza comes at the expense of the children of Sderot, and brings the threat closer to the children of Ashkelon and Ashdod as well. a state must protect its citizens, especially those who are threatened such as those in Sderot. Israel should hit the Palestinians with one fell swoop, defeating them. Otherwise, this cruel situation of today will continue year after year, decade after decade as explained at : http://xrl.us/biz8x

If anyone dared shoot missiles at their cities?

If he were PM of Turkey? The Turkish military would have removed him in a flash.

Miriam,Erdogan's party face closure trial and Erdogan himself face a possible ban from politics. They are no friend of secular Turks,secular instutituons of the State and the army. Different governments may have different styles but the Turkish State is ally of Israel,the current government can not change the traditional State policies. Turkey is not a banana Republic.

...Erdoğan doesn't represent all the citizens of Turkey and moreover he is not Turkish.
