Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday continued his verbal assault on Israel, according to Saudi paper Al Wattan, which quoted him as saying that that al Aksa Mosque, the Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel’s Tomb “were not and never will be Jewish sites, but Islamic sites.”Boy oh boy, what is the use of wasting one's time with this crazy, vile scum. Erdogan is absolutely disgusting.
Erdogan was referring to Israel’s recent inclusion of the Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel’s Tomb on its national heritage list, but it was unclear why he mentioned the Aksa Mosque, since that site was not included.
Speaking to Palestinian journalists, Erdogan reportedly said, "Palestine [was] always at the top of Turkey’s priorities." He expressed his support for the renewal of indirect talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Donning a cloak of pan-Islamic identity, Erdogan told Al Wattan that he “loves my brothers in Fatah and my brothers in Hamas to the same degree, because they are my Muslim brothers and I cannot distinguish between them.”
Turkey’s prime minister began criticizing Israel in the wake of Operation Cast Lead last year, and has been punctilious in voicing his opinion on Israel’s actions since. In the recent past, he sharply criticized Israel during press conferences with the Lebanese prime minister and with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Turkey also recently distanced itself from the United States, withdrawing the ambassador from Washington after a congressional committee decided to recognize the killing of Armenians during World War I as a genocide. In a sign of tensions between Israel and Turkey, Ankara did not seek the help of Jewish lobbies in Washington, and these groups, which have traditionally advocated on behalf of Turkey, refrained this time from pressing Congress not to accept the resolution.
UPDATE (RELIAPUNDIT):
Israel offered aid to Turkey Monday after an earthquake struck the eastern part of the country. At least 57 people were killed in the quake, which measured 6 on the Richter scale, and there was widespread damage. Turkey refused the Israeli aid offer.
THINGS KEEP GETTING WORSE.
NO SURPRISE HERE: ERDOGAN AND HIS AKP ARE ISLAMISTS AND MORE ALLIED WITH IRAN THAN THE WEST.
TURKEY SHOULD BE THROWN OUT OF NATO.
AND BEFORE ISRAEL PREEMPTIVELY ATTACKS IRAN.

Astute . . Now and then I read something that triggers thoughts of Israel. Your blog about Erdogan is a good example.
When will ALL rational people finally accept Israel?
Well, outside of a few anti-Semitic pinheads here and there, the rational world already does.
The way I see it, 90% of the hostility towards Israel comes from the followers of Islam, and nobody else. The dysfunctional, medieval, radical, fundamentalist Muslims that cherry pick the Koran for it's nasty parts, interpret them literally, or mis-interpret them altogether, are the Muslims that threaten Israel.
Before there will be peace in Israel the teachings of Islamic evil will have to be carefully edited from the Koran - forever.
