Erdogan bad mouths Israel--Netanyahu gives it back in spades

Istanbul -- Turkey has become increasingly a sharia guided nation and they don't take well to the Jewish State of Israel. Relations between the two countries appeared to have deteriorated Sunday as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Taqiyya Erdogan said that Israel is a terrorist state that kills children. He also said he would fight against the declaration recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, as it has been for thousands of years.

He was probably referring to the children that Hamas uses as human shields when firing rockets at Israeli school buses. Israel does everything reasonably possible to minimize "collateral damage" while Hamas does everything it can to increase it.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded in kind during an official visit to Paris, calling Erdogan a leader who bombs Kurdish villagers and supports terrorists.

Israel and Turkey had normalized relations in recent years, but the dual flare-ups did not help the situation.

President Trump's move to relocate the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem has sparked Muslims who want to make Jerusalem Islamic and have no historical support that predates the Jews claim to their capital.

When President Trump made the move to use Jerusalem for the embassy, Hamassholes called for 'three days of rage'-- something they do whenever they get the chance--this is the fourth time in eight months, by the way.

"Palestine is an innocent victim . . . As for Israel, it is a terrorist state, yes, terrorist!" Erdogan said, preaching to the choir in Sivas, a central Turkish city. 

Palestinians typically claim victimhood, even after they go on a killing rampage. It reminds me of Flip Wilson saying, "The devil made me do it." Never the fault of the perp, always the victim. Now we have another Islamic leader blaming the victim for being the terrorist--it's ridiculous.

"I am not used to receiving lectures about morality from a leader who bombs Kurdish villagers in his native Turkey, who jails journalists, who helps Iran go around international sanctions, and who helps terrorists, including in Gaza, kill innocent people," Netanyahu said. "That is not the man who is going to lecture us."

No country is perfect, but to pretend that Erdogan or the Palestinians own the moral high ground is as absurd as referring to Osama bin Laden as a kind, religious leader.
