Turkey and Israel are at it again, but this time it's over reports that Turkey has added Israel to its so-called "Red Book," the top-secret security document that lists the country's threats and enemies.
Israeli tourism minister Stas Misezhnikov struck back on Sunday by calling on Israelis to boycott Turkey as a tourist destination out of "national honor."
According to Turkish media, the Red Book, which is amended every five years, now identifies Israel as a "strategic threat" to Turkey.
The document, which is drawn up by Turkey's National Security Council, accuses Israel of being a destabilizing force and says Israeli actions could provoke a regional arms race.
Conflicting reports emerged over whether or not Iran, considered a major security threat by Turkey's NATO allies, had been removed from the same list.
Although the contents of the Red Book are ostensibly a state secret, leaks to the Turkish press indicate Ankara is losing patience with Israel and wants to send a message.

Precisely: WITH the Armenians.
An Israeli to a friend with whom he’s fallen out says: “Lech, tchapes et hachaverim shelcha (Go look for your friends)”. Turkey is no longer our friend. Let’s find some new ones within Turkey, Armenia, Syria and Iran. “Self-determination for the oppressed Kurdish and Armenian peoples!” We could form an organization called the Non-Arabian/Turkic Nations’ Alliance (NANA), and have a mint leaf for our logo (”Nana” is mint in Hebrew). Turkey has its new friends, and we’ll have ours.
The (modern) Turks are not Arabs, though they are Moslems.
Islamofascists for now? Unfortunately Turks cannot rid themselves of their identity. They are what they are: Always been in since Turks converted to Islam.
Don’t kid yourself. There is no such “animal” as a respectable nice secular Turk. There are only Muslim Turks and the few remaining who lurk fearfully are Christian Turks: Protestant, Catholics and Orthodox.
Strange bedfellows you have there. Kemal Mustafa is the leading genocidaire of the 20th century. He and his turk dogs were responsible for the genocide of over 3 million Christians.
This country if it is to survive must wash its hands of kow towing to monsters like this and the regimes they create.
