Erdogan Builds a War Tower

by Leave a Comment

Looks like war, smells like war...

There is a risk that this whole thing is actually diplomacy, however if it sounds like war, looks like war and smells lie war, it’s probably war.

The prime minister of Turkey had his day in the sun today, his glory moment finally arrived when he went all out against his country’s old ally and friend Israel in front of the Arab League members, who are not to difficult to convince that this country is a problem.

Arriving at the very edge of war statements, Erdogan has promised acts of punishment and declared his nations anger with Israeli behavior, calling the flotilla event (which happened 15 months ago) “a cause for war” and sending his navy to park in front of Israel’s shores.

Now it looks like there is nothing more to do than sit and watch, unless someone wakes up and stops this madness. Erdogan makes it clear that he has now abandoned his enthusiasm for fighting for the Syrian people, his next door neighbors who are slaughtered for the past 7 months, and that he does not have enough with carpet bombing the Kurdish in the north of the country, he understands that his path to Arab glory passes through the armed confrontation with Israel.

A Bunch of Religious Issues in the Mid East

It is not even worth trying covering all of it, but in what might seem like a serious regression the whole area moves back to its religious fights, and it is not exclusively Muslim-Jewish thing, its only the continuous riots in Syria (yes, still going on, no one cares really) the suffocation of the liberal democratic revolution in Egypt by the Muslim brotherhood and much more, so here is just a taste of what is going on in that part of the world –

No Apology on that Terror Flotilla? Public Humiliation for Israelis

(here is the link to the article) On the escalating situation between Turkey and Israel, now the Israeli diplomats have been expelled from Istanbul, and officials in the airport have harassed Israelis coming into Turkey (which is almost nuts, to bother tourists coming in to your country).

Title – Israeli Settlers Burn Mosque Near Nablus

Jews Can Get Crazy Too, in the West Bank

(link to the story) The West Bank Jewish Settlers take advantage of the situation in the south of the country and the political system inability to deal with extreme Jews harassing the Arab-Palestinian population and torch a local mosque, adding graffiti in Hebrew on the walls, just to make sure everyone knows its a Jewish thing.

From Africa – Title – Youth Kill Family of 8 in restive central Nigeria (which should actually read “Christian Family of 8 Slaughtered in Nigeria”, link here)

Killings on Both Sides in Nigeria

The bloody history of Muslims and Christians in this part of Africa does not let go, and it is becoming a bloodier present. This evergreen hatred between the two religions is now at a boiling point, with killings on both sides going on daily.
