if this info is accurate (I see no reason to doubt it) then Erdogan is not only supportive of the Hamas terrorists and this blockage running, he is an actual major sponsor of the 'Hate-illa' group of ships, with violent operatives pre-positioned onboard.

Erdogan & co. are part of the global jihad, not merely ideological sympathizers.

Time to recognize that Turkey (1) must not be trusted, (2) no longer belongs in NATO, and (3) is sliding back into the jihad cesspool no matter how much we kiss up to them.

This, which will of course be widely and frequently disseminated by the global media, will no doubt turn world opinion around in a hurry.

I heard a brief comment that this new Turkish leader may be trying to bring back the glory and power of the old Turkish Ottaman Empire. This would not be surprising since nations often try to bring back their glory days in history.

This should be interesting since Turkey would be vying with Saudi Arabia as the kingpin of the Islamic world.

It seems that many leaders are trying to catch the brass ring of the Islamic world - destroying Israel.
