1. Israel Sounds Disappointed
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (07.16.16)
Israel saying it 'respects the democratic process' comes off sounding like Israel is disappointed that Turkey doesn't now have a military dictatorship in place. Netanyahu is kinda transparent. He urged the US invasion of Iraq promising Congress that is would positively impact Iran. He opposed the getting rid of the arch-terrorist Gadhafi who ordered the deaths of hundreds of Americans. He supported the military overthrow of the elected government in Egypt, and he is not interested is getting ISIS out of Iraq or Syria, at least as far ans anybody can see. Makes one wonder if there are any common values shared by Israel and the US anymore.
2. Talk about gift wrapping ...

I certainty do feel that this coup attempt if successful would have brought Syrian style outcomes to Turkey. On the other hand I can't imagine a more effective tool gift wrapped for Erdogan's political party. This coup attempt is not over by a long shot. Watch and learn. Watch and learn.

The people of Egypt DEMANDED Morsi step down as he and Erdogan both usurped their own constitutions and became tyrannical dictators.
Turkey has a long history of military coups.
Try and educate yourself you should be embarrassed.

Shame, Shame, the coup did not succeed. Erdogan is " ISIS in a suit" and a repugnant dictator. Typical PC world condemning and shame on you, Israel. Better you kept your mouth shut
