#1 A decade ago Erdogan used the Davos World Economic Forum to attack President Peres for Israel's 2009 war on the Gazan terrorists and he blamed Israel for indiscriminate attacks on civilians. In blocking NATO membership for Sweden and Finland, he continues a policy that included Turkey's many attempts to hinder all NATO activity with Israel. In decrying Israeli activity on the West Bank he omits his own miserable human rights record, which included the 1974 illegal occupation of Cyprus (a move respected by no nation); indeed, the European Commission of Human Rights has on numerous occasions attacked Erdogan's own record, including the massive attack on journalists which now has reduced Turkey's media opposition to near zero, and the continuing attacks on the Kurdish population. And attacks on Christians with the Muslim occupation of Hagia Sofia. And Washington allows Turkey to be the tail that wags the NATO dog. Ridiculous!
