Turkey accuses ally Israel of 'terrorism'

Turkey accuses ally Israel of 'terrorism': Turkey, which has close ties with Israel, has accused the Jewish state of "terrorism" after the assasination of Hamas spiritual leader Shaikh Ahmad Yasin.

1. Big surprise.

The Founding Fathers of Isreal were terrorists before they became leaders of the State.

2. And Arafat was one of Mother Teresa's girls.

I'd be more impressed if you could actually spell Israel.

The Stern Gang ain't a secret.

Neither is the story of Arafat's rise to power.

And your point here would be......?

4. Never said he was, did I?

So I misspelled Israel. Big fat hairy deal. If that's the only thing you could find then I have already won.

My point would be that they were terrorists. That they will not accpet that as an appropriate description. That they want to present themselves as driven snow alter boys. Additionally that is how most of the rest of the world wants to see them. Reality is a bit more of a bitch.

For the record, even Mother Theresa wasn't "Mother Theresa".

6. You Might Want To Look A Little More Deeply Into This, Sir

A list of who you consider the "founding fathers" of Israel, along with your grounds for the allegation in leading cases, might do for a start....

7. though I make my antipathy to the term clear,

that's a fair charge. The deeper one looks into the subject the more clear that seems. With more extended studies that in itself begins to appear as a consistant pattern, and one that remains such.

Would you care to refute it?

8. And so were the Founding Fathers of the US...

wanton destruction of property, tarring and feathering of duly authorised agents of the Crown, all that sort of thing. As the saying goes, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

3. Interesting timing

This just after the Islamic party took control in local elections in Turkey.

5. Actually it was before the local elections...

this statement was issued. Although local election results were definitely not a surprise; Erdogan's centre-right AKP was expected to get 40-50% of the votes, they got 42.5%.
