TURKEY THREATENS TO BREAK ALL TIES WITH ISRAEL

BBC:

Turkey has for the first time threatened to break diplomatic ties with Israel over its raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in May.

Turkey's foreign minister said a break could only be averted if Israel either apologised or accepted the outcome of an international inquiry into the raid.

The Israeli government said it had nothing to apologise for.

DIPLOMATICALLY, THIS WOULD PUT TURKEY ON PAR WITH SYRIA.

IT PROVES - ONCE AGAIN - THAT TURKEY IS MORE ALLIED TO IRAN AND HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH THAN TO ISRAEL OR NATO AND THE USA AND THE WEST.

IT'S TIME WE THREW THEM OUT OF NATO.
