The difference nowadays is that Israel can eliminate any enemy or enemies it feels it necessary to remove from earth. In a single day. With no difficulty at all. This is why the current Turkish “leader” is careful to mostly limit himself to making only verbal threats. CThe Kurds appear quite brave but they lack this technological and scientific expertise.
