Erdogan, AKK & Co.:  A bunch of schmucks trying to ride the wave of anti-Israel sentiment within vocal population and mass media.  Finger-pointing Israel for the Gaza War is no better than a pot calling a kettle black.  Got slapped back by Israel with regards to the über-sensitive uniquely Turkish constipation known as the Turks vs. the Kurds and the Turks vs. the Armenians?  Tit for tat, and these Turkish politicos do not even have the nutsacks to suck it up.  Not to mention that Israel could care less about what the Turks do to the Kurds, any more than Turkey care about what the Israelis do to the Palestinians from strategic points of view ... LOL!

 

At any rate, deliberately pissing off Israel may be what these assholes are really after.  Any Turkish politician will have to wave the flag when foreigners criticize Turkey for its maligned history vis-á-vis Kurdistan and Armenia.  Pretty darn sleazy, but hey ... it works.

Some of our turk friends - in Turkey - has asked me about the cartoons.

 

I very simply answered, that I personally found it a much bigger problem, that Erdogan could not keep religion and state seperate - which was a point Atatürk tried to make. And I must say it cannot be a Danish problem that the prime minister of Turkey is at odds with the Turkish Constitution!

This directly led to more civilised conversation - in my very rotten Turkish.

 

Turkey doesn´t seem to understand, that Denmark is one of the few countries, that appreciate the problems Turkey have.

We do support a modern Turkey; but will not pay for a köylular domination.
