Another Turkish twist of reality
The chief of Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport reacted with fury to claims by Turkish authorities that Israel had mistreated Turkish passengers departing from Ben Gurion to justify the way Kemal Ataturk Airport authorities treated 40 Israelis on Sunday. This is from the first link. "The attempt to tie security at Ben-Gurion Airport to the Israel-Turkey relationship does not reflect reality," Kobi Mor said.Again, unless you have a compelling reason to visit Turkey, it is strongly suggested that you not do so.
"The Airport Authority strongly rejects the attempts to tie security procedures undergone by the passengers at Ben Gurion Airport to the relationship between the two states," he said. "Security forces are doing their job day and night in safeguarding the planes and passengers, and there is no room for cynically exploiting their work."
"The fact that security officers cannot publicly respond to the hints and accusations leads to the distortion of reality," Mor charged. "Security officials at Ben-Gurion Airport operate in line with the instructiond of professional authorities and will continue to do whatever is necessary to ensure the safety of passengers at the airport."

Surely there are CCTV's all over the airport to prove these pathological liars wrong...

Shocking but not suprising?
The Turkish boycott of Israel is not going to hurt Israel as much as it will hurt Turkey.
The Turks made their bed and they should now lie down in it.
Heh
