What is wrong with us?
Turkey's Daily Hurriyet reports that Cemil Çiçek, the speaker of the Turkish parliament, has declined an invitation to visit Israel from his Israeli counterpart, Ruby Rivlin (pictured) (Hat Tip: Joshua I).Çiçek thanked the Israeli parliamentary speaker for his "kind" invitation, but said such a visit could only occur after relations between the two countries have improved.Why does Israel's political echelon continue to insist on prostrating itself before the evil Turkish government? Why are our 'leaders' such masochists?
"I am not accepting the invitation for the time being," Çiçek said. "I am sure you know the conditions set by Turkey for the normalization of relations between the two countries."
