"Should we sit back and proclaim that we cannot influence events and close our eyes to the menace of anti Jewish activity or do we react with our money and refuse to support the Turkish economy? I urge you to not purchase Turkish made goods...."
So, now, we have the same people who say they reject in principle the idea of critics of Israel boycotting them, launching a boycott against Turkey, insuring more vituperation and tension in the region.
You can expect parts of the US press to join in with more one-sided trash talk. Some in our media, including "experts" on Turkey are just bashers. One former Wall Street Journal editorial writer came here on a junket with neocon "Prince of Darkness" Richard Perle.
Once the Israeli Lobby goes on the ideological warpath, you can be sure that their fabricated issues will get lots of play from their media assets.
Turkey is now a player in this part of the world and can no longer be sidelined or ignored. I will have more on this emerging story soon.
