Turkey, the country that carried out the first genocide of the twentieth century (mass murdering more than ONE MILLION ARMENIANS) and is still occupying Kurdistan is condemning Israel? Isn’t that a Joke?
Again the United Nations has given her floor over to rabid anti-Israel, one sided, racist rhetoric with her immediate meetings concerning the flotilla. You would never see such fast UN foot work concerning the daily outrages that occur in the Arab, Muslim world. The UN can’t be taken seriously and Israel should quickly toss any UN force from South Lebanon.
Turkey, now allied with Iran and Syria, is no longer a friend to Israel or the West; no matter how much Thomas Friedman loves her, as he wrote Wednesday in his New York Times column. Sadly, what people like Friedman forever refuse to acknowledge is the Muslim world’s sincere and single-minded intent to wipe Israel off the map, then move on to the Christian world.
Tom omits the fact that Turkey was once Democratic and secular. That is no longer the case. PM Erdogan loves his friends in Syria and Iran so much that he is now basing the “New Turkey” on the political blueprint of Syria and Iran. It’s called tyrannical dictatorship, using the Jews, or today, Israel, as an excuse for the need of this dictatorship. Friedman also chooses to ignore the alarming actions Erdogan has taken against some of his secular generals and the Turkish judiciary system in recent weeks, clearly indicating that he is moving closer and closer to that dreaded militant Islamic position.
On every front Israel and Israelis must cut ties with Turkey. No more flying to Turkish resorts just because they are willing to whore themselves to us for five minutes. No more $500 everything included deals. They clearly have become our enemy; that’s it!
Instead, Israel must work together with her allies in Congress to ensure the Armenian genocide is recognized by the US. Simultaneously, Israel should work with the US and Armenia to bring the Armenian genocide to the forefront of UN debate, until recognized by that body. Finally, Israel and her allies must work to have Turkey thrown out of NATO.
On the home front a whole new policy is needed.
If the Palestinian Authority maintains the policy of duplicity, saying they want peace while doing everything to deny, delegitimize and destroy Israel, then negotiations must be dropped. It is always the Palestinians that play the drama game; now it’s our turn. Let’s show President Obama and his cadre that we don’t need the negotiations; if he wants to achieve something, he’d better start whipping the Palestinians into shape.
If the Turks send another flotilla to Gaza, we won’t just board it; we will board it preparing for a battle not just with handguns and paint balls. Israel will then cut all electricity to the Strip.
If the Turks or any of their Arab buddies decide to take it to the UN, Israel will cut off water to the Gaza Strip.
After this, if the whole concept of us not messing around has not sunk in, Israel will cut off all humanitarian supplies and aid to the Gaza strip.
Plain and simple: Israel should finally REALLY enforce the blockade it is not truly enforcing.
THE FLOTILLA THAT STARTED IN TURKEY WAS A DECLARATION OF WAR.

YOU WON'T FIND THIS STUFF IN HAARETZ
By Schmoel Yitzhak
Why is it that every time I pick up a copy of Haaretz -- disinfectant in hand -- I think of one word, QUISLING?
There's an easy answer, friends.
Vidkun Quisling was Adolf Hitler's puppet as head of Norway's government after the Nazi's had annexed the country at the start of World War II.
As it happened, good, old Vidkun did his collaborative job so well that by the time he died in 1945, quisling had become part and parcel of our vocabulary.
And so even now, 65 years later, quisling is still defined as a traitor who serves as the puppet of the enemy.
Well, we don't have to look beyond the borders of Gaza, Lebanon -- alias Hezbollah-land -- and Syria to find Israel's quislings.
They are sprinkled throughout the nation, from Metulla to Eilat. Sometimes it's under a thin disguise, such as a newspaper columnist or television commentator. But they are there and each day they weaken Israel.
Like Norway's Vidkun, they're laboring under the misapprehension that they're doing their country a great big favor by undermining the government at every turn.
When it comes to quisling journalism, there isn't a periodical that can match Haaretz for unrelenting verbal assault against the lone democracy in the Middle East.
Just a glance at a couple of headlines explains my point.
Under a Gideon Levy byline we have: GAZA FLOTILLA DRIVES ISRAEL INTO A SEA OF STUPIDITY. Or, another Haaretz germ-filled gem: This filed by Zvi Bar'el: RACIST BILL EXPOSES THE TRUE FACE OF ISRAEL.
If one didn't know better, just reading the daily anti-government tirades, one would have to conclude that Haarettz either is funded by Hamas, Syria or that ever-lovable Nasrallah, hiding somewhere in his Lebanese rat hole.
Can you imagine just for a moment if the tables were turned and Levy dared write such undermining commentary as a Muslim journalist in any Arab country.
We could say, conservatively, that his life would be worth about five shekels -- in Monopoly money.
What puzzles me is the true aim of such quisling journalism.
Is Levy hoping to bring down the government ?
Does he wish that his country ultimately be weakened to a point where the Arab enemy achieves its lifetime goal of exterminating every Israeli?
Does he not realize that that also would result in the deaths of quisling Jews?
Make no mistake, the Jewish quislings -- during World War II they were identified as the Judenrat -- are liberally sprinkled across Europe and North America.
Writing in The Jerusalem Post, Isi Liebler identified the overseas quislings -- except he didn't employ our term -- as "bodies primarily controlled by anti-Israel activists." Among those he correctly cited were j Street and J Call, each of which might as well be more accurately labelled Quisling Street and Quisling Call.
"Today," writes Liebler, "these pseudo 'pro peace' bodies seek to undermine the only liberal democratic state in the region and divert attention from the reprehensible behavior and denial of human rights practiced by Israel's enemies."
I pick up Haaretz, think of Quisling and then mumble that hoary bromide: With friends like these who needs enemies?
Trouble is that it fits that newspaper to an H -- as in hideous.
