IT'S TIME TO EXPEL TURKEY FROM NATO

From the Astute Bloggers:

ERDOGAN CALLED ISRAEL A THREAT TO WORLD PEACE:

Until recently, Turkey had been a solid ally of Israel's from the Muslim world. However, Ankara has taken a stance against Israel over last year's war in the Gaza Strip, leading to a deterioration of ties.

"Is the Israeli government in favor of peace or not?" Erdogan said. "Gaza was bombed again yesterday. Why?... There were no rocket attacks."

Erdogan was referring to an Israel Air Force strike Sunday on a rocket-launching ground in central Gaza, where three Islamic Jihad militants posing to fire at Israel were killed. Approximately four mortar shells were also fired from Gaza toward the western Negev on Sunday.

UPDATE: Turkey also airs TV shows which would make Hitler and Nasrallah happy.

FRANCE RECALLED ITS AMBASSADOR.

WHAT WILL OBAMA DO?

PROBABLY SAY ERDGONA'S SPEECH AND THE TV SHOW ARE JUST WORDS.

UPDATE #2: Gaza rocket hits Israel for fifth consecutive day

A Qassam rocket fired by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip struck the Western Negev on Monday, a day after an Israel Air Force assault killed three Islamic Jihad men posed at a launching ground in the coastal territory.

There were no casualties or damages reported in the incident Monday. Israeli security forces were summoned to the area to identify the location of the rocket.

The IAF strike Sunday came hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a "powerful response" to recent rocket and mortar shell attacks from the coastal territory. The strike targeted a cell as its members, which included a senior Jihad field commander, were launching rockets at Israel.

Four mortar shells were also fired at Israel from Gaza on Sunday, but they exploded on the Palestinian side of the border.

Addressing an increase of rocket fire into Israel from Gaza, Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Monday advised Gaza's Hamas rulers to "watch their step, and not to cry crocodile tears if they force [Israel] to take action."

ERDOGAN IS WRONG ABOUT WHETHER THERE HAVE BEEN ROCKET ATTACKS, THE IDF, AND WRONG ABOUT ISRAEL'S RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE.

ERDOGAN IS AN ISLAMIST WHO HAS TAKEN TURKEY OUT OF THE WEST AND PLANTED IT FIRMLY IN THE ENEMY CAMP.

THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF AN ISLAMIST TURKEY MORE ALIGNED TO IRAN THAN NATO IS A THREAT TO NATO AND OUR MUTUAL SECURITY.
