Dutch Freedom party MP blasts Turkey at international conference
At the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Dubrovnik on Sunday, Dutch Freedom party representative Wim Kortenoeven blasted Turkish imperialism. Here's the part of his speech that relates to Israel: Mister chairman,Read the whole thing.
Turkey, a member state of NATO, is also increasingly belligerent towards the Jewish State of Israel. Threats and baseless accusations are issued against Israel – ever more frequently. And provocations are rampant. Israeli freighters are harressed by Turkish warships.
Turkey also objects to Israel’s legitimate desire to drill for natural gas in its own exclusive economic zone. Turkish warships are backing up threats against Israel’s sovereignty.
A simple mistake in this combustible situation might spark a military confrontation.
Also troubling and dangerous are Turkey’s sympathy for the Hamas terror organization and Turkey’s attempts to undermine Israel’s legitimate right to supervise the maritime routes to Gaza.
The Freedom party is Geert Wilders' party so these sentiments are not quite so surprising. The real question is how many other Europeans agree with them and whether they will act on those beliefs.
