Perhaps the most astounding development in the wake of the Gaza incursion was the revelation that Turkey had suddenly discovered that there is such a thing as “the conscience of humanity.”

Those were the very words used by that country’s foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu.

They surfaced during the endless ranting and raving by him and Turkey’s pathetic farce of a prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan against Israel.

It would be cool if Israel re-took Gaza, occupied it with tanks and weaponry, and then in a televised statement around the world, offered to withdraw if Turkey would publicly acknowledge and apologize for the Armenian genocide.
