A top Israel envoy criticized Turkey’s outreach to terror groups Friday, hours after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was quoted as saying Hamas is not a terrorist organization.

“Turkey has embraced the leaders of Iran and Hamas, all of whom called for Israel’s destruction,” declared Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren.

“Our policy has not changed but Turkey’s policy has changed, very much, over the last few years,” he said. “Under a different government with an Islamic orientation, Turkey has turned away from the West.”

Uhm.. so has Obama. If the U.S. told all these goat herders to pound sand, there would be no issue. We should say, “If you enter OUR or ISREAL’s sovereign territory, prepare to get a very quick case of dead.” — End of statement. But instead, we have the equivocator in chief.

I wonder if Turkey still thinks the KPP is a terrorist organization? Time for Israel to start organizing it’s own “peace armadas”. There’s enough real repression on the part of Muslim countries for Israel to have to fun too.
