    Of all the loose saber-rattlers, I never would have picked Turkey.

    Netanyahu’s zealot settler government is getting incrementally more strident and fascist all the time. The fallout with Turkey is just the latest telling tale of this fact.

    Jules go and look for Jim. Do not turn the omelette. The islamo fascists poor venom against Israel against the Jews. Israel is a democracy free fair honest. Israel has 20%of the population Arabs Moslem and Christian. Full Israeli citizens with full rights. The Israeli Arabs say it loud and clear we would not live in any of the islamo fascist countries. Israel is our country. So you see Jules you either are an Iranian paid blogger, or simply ignorant and bigoted anti Israel enemy, this is an oxymoron. Jules shut up and go look for Jim for good sex that will calm your misdirected hatred.
