Yeah.
Just how is this Israel/Newly-Muslim Turkey thing supposed to work out?

My two cents comes first from my reading of David Ben Gurion’s recollections from the early 1960’s.

When Israel’s first Prime Minister and one of its key founding father’s arrived in Israel around 1900 the territory was Turkish controlled and part of the Ottoman Empire.

Ben Gurion and other Jews went to Turkey (the mother country) studied Turkish, studied Turkish law etc. etc.

There is a tradition of closeness between the Jews of Israel and Turks, but Erdogan’s Turkey gives me really bad vibes.

But still I’m not excited at all about the Israeli-Turkish friendship at all.

I think Israel’s propaganda organs have deliberately tried to downplay this.

Debka was claiming on its site in an article recently published that a Russian-Turkish-Iranian alliance was forming.

Then we see this apparent appeasement going on at the direction of the Israeli government?????
