Hmmm. NATO is attacking a muslim country(Libya)A NATO member(Turkey)is threatening the ally(Israel) of the main lynchpin of the NATO alliance(U.S.)
If Turkey attacks Israel will NATO side with their fellow NATO member? Or do the usual, that being nothing, and run their mouths making empty threats and saying meaningless platitudes?
The U.S. under obama will do nothing. Israel is on their own. That is why Turkey is puffing out their chest.

NATO will do nothing. Most NATO countries, especially Germany, England, Belgium and France, have massive Muslim populations that need to be placated. The last time somebody tried to wipe out the Jews the French and Belgians stood by and did nothing. The Brits considered it only a secondary concern. And of course the Germans were doing the exterminating.

So Europe will probably cheer Turkey. But they won't actually help Turkey. Israel has nukes as well as missiles capable of reaching Brussels, Paris, Berlin and London. The Turks may be willing to die for the glory of Islam. The French, not so much.
