Erdogan nixes rapprochement between Turkey and Israel
"The compensation talks on behalf of the victims of the Mavi Marmara, which are taking place between Ankara and Jerusalem, have not concluded," Erdogan said. "In the final stages, there will be a need to include a clause in the protocol that calls for the lifting of the siege on Gaza."
The premier's statements were all the more surprising given that just two days ago his foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, was quoted as saying that Turkey and Israel are as close as they have been yet to ending the long-running saga over the Mavi Marmara incident.This isn't about the Turkish 'victims' and it never has been. It's about Erdogan doing his share to extirpate the Jewish state, and it's about his showing how powerful he is. Well, maybe that horse can once again show him a thing or two.

An anti-Semite doesn't want to have anything to do with the Jews! That description fits Turkey's Prime Minister to a T.
Why is Israel even courting Erdogan? If the Turks want relations with Israel, they know how to contact Israel.
Its beneath Israel's dignity to act like a schnorrer in front of the Turks. What's the lesson here? Trying to get someone who hates you to like you is a tall order, indeed.
