More moral equivalence: Turkey this time

But this is a new one: Comparing the persecution of the Jews in Spain and Portugal to the self-defense against an enemy whose officially stated goal is Israel's destruction. This coming from a country that is directly responsible for and GUILTY OF the murder of between 600.000 and 2.000.000 Armenians. A true genocide, eclipsed only by their former allies of WW1.
A country that to this very day as a matter of policy systematically persecutes the Kurds.

Quote: 'Israel was "bombing civilians, killing people without any considerations - children, women, the elderly - razing buildings using bulldozers'

But this one takes the biscuit: '"Saying 'I am the strong one, so I can name anyone I want as a terrorist and anyone I want as a criminal and just kill them and go' - that mentality is wrong," he said.'

Apart from the glaring errors in his statements (if they're not outright deliberate lies), for Turkey of all countries to accuse Israel of strong arm tactics is chutzpah - and they can ask the Jews what that means.

Turkey these days is ruled by a party with strong Muslim roots. It seems their thin layer of secularism has started eroding already. And guess who the first victims of their renewed Muslim vigour will be?

UPDATE: Turkey (why does the name sound apt for the country?) has withdrawn its ambassador from Israel over this issue.
Imagine what you'd have to do to Turkey (that NAME!) to convey your disagreement with the way they treat the Kurds... Islamists are in power in Turkey (heehee...) and they just can't hide their true nature. I'm just glad we didn't already vote them into the EU.
