Erdogan has never hesitated to publicly express his hatred of Israel’s decisions on how to handle its internal national security problems with Islamist terrorism from Gaza, Judea and Samaria. It has never occurred to the Turkish prime minister that the actions of the PKK and other terrorists in his own country precisely mirror those of Hamas and others in Israel.
No Turkish leader would ever have tolerated the antics of Hamas on Anatolian soil. But that has never stopped Erdogan’s endless claims that Israel is the aggressor in any conflict with Hamas, founded by the Muslim Brotherhood with which Islamist Erdogan has a close bond.
