Turkey meets Israel, without shaking hands

After the Arabs happily shook hands with Israeli leaders for the first time since Israel occupied the Palestine territories by force, Israel went on to execute its pet holocaust plan in Palestine, killing thousands innocent people there including old people, women and children and destroyed mosques, schools, hospitals and literally every thing that the fascist forces came across during the three-week conflict which began on 27 December..  Arab nations have been showing reluctance to stop the Israel aggressions in Palestine killing innocent people, including children there. In the face of mounting criticism of Israeli holocaust and demands for punitive measures against Israeli leaders, both civilian and military, Israel terrorists are trying to put the blame on the Hamas. US President Obama is yet make up mind on the issue of punishment to the fascist Israeli leaders.

At the recent WEF meet in Davos Turkey clashed with Israel but did not seek punishment for the Israeli terrorists. But the very act of openly criticisng in an internatinal forum the Zionist tendencies in Palestine is note worthy.

New perhaps to watch the tricky tactics of Israel, Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stormed off the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos on 28 Jan after a heated debate on Gaza with Israel's president Shimon Peres. Erdogan clashed with Shimon Peres, whose voice had risen as he made an impassioned defence of Israel's actions, jabbing his finger. Erdogan said Peres had spoken so loudly to conceal his "guilt". Before leaving the venue, Erdogan accused the moderator of not allowing him to speak and said he did not think he would return to Davos. The Turkish PM stressed later that he had left the debate not because of his disagreements with Peres but because he had been given much less time to speak than the Israeli leader. The WEF has no special love for Muslims and their leaders.  Late on 29 Jan, Thursday, a WEF official said that Peres and Erdogan had spoken by mobile telephone, and both men now considered the matter closed.

A NATO member and a close ally of the USA and a strong applicant for the EU against opposition by a few hard core Christian states, Turkey is one of the few Muslim countries to have dealings with Israel, but relations have been under strain since the Islamist-rooted AK Party was elected to power in 2002. Israel wants Turkey as an ally of USA, which is close to Israel, to continue to support the Jewish holocaust in Palestine.

During the debate on Thursday, Erdogan had clashed with Peres, whose voice had risen as he made an impassioned defence of Israel's actions, jabbing his finger. Erdogan said Peres had spoken so loudly to conceal his "guilt". He said many people had died in Gaza and he found it sad that anyone would applaud Peres for defending Israel's actions. He then accused the moderator of not allowing him to speak and said he did not think he would return to Davos. The Turkish PM stressed later that he had left the debate not because of his disagreements with Peres but because he had been given much less time to speak than the Israeli leader

As usual, the fascist Israel tried to justify the holocaust in Palestine. Peres had told the audience Israel was forced on to the offensive against Hamas by thousands of rockets and mortars fired into Israel. "The tragedy of Gaza is not Israel, it is Hamas," the Israeli leader said. He shamelessly bluffed to the global audience, "Why did they fire rockets? There was no siege against Gaza. Why did they fight us, what did they want? There was never a day of starvation in Gaza." The entire world knows that Palestinians are being butchered and harassed inside their own country by the fundamentalist Jewish occupiers supported and aided by the fundamentalist Christian nations.  

In the debate, Erdogan was cut off as he attempted to reply to Peres. The Turkish Prime Minister had made an address himself, describing Gaza as an "open-air prison". When the audience applauded Peres, he said: "I find it very sad that people applaud what you said. You killed people. And I think that it is very wrong." The moderator, one of the anti-Islamic media portals the Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, had given him a minute to reply, and then asked him to finish, saying that people needed to go to dinner, as if he talking to a street boy.  "I do not think I will be coming back to Davos after this because you do not let me speak,"  Erdogan shouted before marching off the stage in front of Peres, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and an "elite audience" of ministers and international officials.

Turkish leader was shocked to see he was being addressed as if he was a foot path seller as the Israelis treat every Palestinian. At news conference later on Thursday, Erdogan complained that he had been allowed to speak just 12 minutes to 25 for Peres. "I did not target at all in any way the Israeli people, President Peres or the Jewish people," he said. "I am a prime minister, a leader who has specifically expressly stated that anti-Semitism is a crime against humanity." Recep Tayyip Erdogan had reacted angrily when he was refused the chance to respond to Israeli President Shimon Peres' defence of the operation. Thousands of people turned out in the city to greet Erdogan's plane. He told them Peres' language and tone had been unacceptable, so he acted to stand up for Turkish honor. "I only know that I have to protect the honour of Turkey and Turkish people," said  Erdogan. "I am not a chief of a tribe. I am the prime minister of Turkey. I have to do what I have to do." In Davos, the entire world witnessed what has not been happening for many years. "This showed the power of Turks. It showed that Turks are standing on their feet in Europe, in the world." "Tonight I was really proud. I feel really happy," said Mustafa in the crowd.

Back at home, Turkey's PM has received a hero's welcome on his return to Istanbul after he stormed out of a debate about Gaza at the World Economic Forum in Davos. There had been huge anger in Turkey at Israel's operation in Gaza and there now appears to be widespread support for Erdogan's actions in Davos. Huge crowds were waiting at Istanbul airport in the early hours of the morning, with many people waving Turkish and Palestinian flags. The crowds were shouting "Turkey is with you," and that some were holding signs greeting Erdogan as "a new world leader".

When the entire Arab world watched the murder shows in Palestine unleashed by fascist Israel, in targeting Israel at WEF, Turkey premier seems to have touched the wounded minds of global  Muslims and his emotional outbursts have found complete cords with Islamic sentiments charged fully against anti-Islamic nations and forces.
