#1 The relationship with Turkey is equivalet to a marriage of convenience. The main incentives for Israel are the military and political aspects.
I believe after what Abdullah Gul did to the US at their time of dire need in the north, we do not take our "allience" with them too seriously.

As they say here in the ME : "once a backstabber
always a backstabber".

Abdullah's name literally translates from arabic as "Allah's slave". The only thing now separating
turkey from the Sharia is the military establishment.
Turkey is a schizoid state torn between its poor moslem majority and the government need to economically integrate with western Europe.
As Eurostan steadily becomes Islamized,who knows
what will happen in turkey (maybe Murat ??)

#2 There can be no long term alliance between a Muslim country and a civilized country - not with Pakistan, not w/Saudi, not w/Turkey.

#3 Glereper,
I agree with you
that's why we cannot trust any Paleostinian State
If they ever get one.

#4 There could be a long term alliance when Turkey was kemalist since a real Kemalist will see Islam as something bad for Turkey and in fact a tool of Arab domination. But Turkey is no longer Kemalist.
