Turkey on Thursday suspended all export and import operations with Israel due to what it described as its "aggression against Palestine in violation of international law and human rights," the Turkish Trade Ministry announced, according to the Anadolu news agency.

"Since the first day, our country has rushed to the aid of the people of Gaza, delivered tens of thousands of tons of humanitarian aid to the region by ships and planes, especially food, health and medical aid materials, evacuated thousands of patients and stood by our Palestinian brothers and sisters in these difficult days," the ministry said.

"However, the massacre, humanitarian catastrophe and physical destruction caused by Israel continued, and the Israeli government ignored international ceasefire efforts and prevented humanitarian aid," it added.

Turkey will strictly and decisively implement these new measures until the Israeli government allows the uninterrupted and sufficient flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza, it noted.

I agree about Iran (as in its present gov’t) being key, but there would still be some trouble, such as from ISIS/ ISIL, AQ, etc. Just less, and less well supported.

Well, it’s a good thing Thanksgiving is a long way off....

Kick Turkey out of NATO.

The only group in Israel that celebrates Thanksgiving is the Armenians, because they get to eat a Turkey.

Biden’s goon’s moves against Israel will backfire.

Oh, and South Africa? It’s become a hellhole. So much for ‘the world’s ‘great support’ - now South Africa’s just a third world place for the world to ignore.

Israel’s the only democracy in the region - and someday Arab countries will run out of oil - but Israel will never run out of being a modern first world country.

Apartheid had to go. It was not sustainable.

Apartheid had to go.

You're right on that - but in many cases the baby was thrown out with the bath water. Getting rid of evil is one thing - and necessary (thank God Apartheid is gone) - but tossing out sane laws and systems for 'pie in the sky 'we can have it all' crap didn't work.
