I perfectly remember that when Turkey has earthquakes we (Israel) are the first to respond. I perfectly remember that even though Turkey was "major league angry" with us over the whole MV Mavi Marmara (Gaza Flotilla) business when we had the Carmel fire Turkey was the first to respond. Yeah the Turks and more particularly their leader, Erdogan, are a pain in the left ear...but at the end of the day when we or they have a serious crisis we all know to behave as the very best of neighbors. So to all the TB haters...go on hate...but there are those of us who know better.
putin knows erdogan for what he is- a cheap sloganeer, a liar and crook.
bibi in his weakness pressured by ehud barak, obama and others paid a ransom payment, not one of his finest hours. erdogan is the brotherhood in a nice suit, never to be trusted
bibi is stronger now because he isheld up by leiberman and bennett. without them, he would be anotjher herzog.
It is beyond belief that periodically Israel fluctuates between a raprochment with Erdogan's Turkey and frigid incompatibility. Until the pseudo Caliph of Ankara finally meets his end as dictator it would be far better to permanently remove any diplomatic and economic relations with that basket case.
