Israeli foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has compared Turkey with Iran prior to the 1979 Islamic revolution, saying Israel will “not be Turkey’s punching bag.” Writing in Thursday’s Jerusalem Post, Mr. Lieberman blamed the crisis in bilateral ties between Jerusalem and Ankara on internal developments in Turkey.
Here are two U.S. allies that have nothing to fight about at each others’ throats. Why? Because Islamist groups are gaining political ground in Turkey, which means that country must automatically begin to turn against Israel. A fine example of religion poisoning foreign relations.
