The hate never stops, does it? Just when you thought you had heard every insult and demonization, along comes one which just makes the head shake faster.
"Ungrateful burden" is the new vitriol.
Israeli patience is running out, her enemies has better start to think twice about the words they use, for there will come a time when words will no longer be tolerated and action will be required. Israels enemies may talk a fair game, but are they willing to step up and put on the big boy pants is a question best answered by their coming decision.
From The Jerusalem Post September 9
Turkish President Abdullah Gül said on Thursday that Israel is an ungrateful burden to its allies, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Daily News reported.
On his way to a multicultural conference in Russia, Gül accused Israel of offering to apologize four times for the Mavi Marmara incident, but then reneging each time.
Not true, Turkey and Gul kept moving the goal line, making it impossible for Israel to stay within it's own moral umbrella.
According to the Turkish president, Israel should consider an "honorable peace" with its Arab neighbors and stop acting as if the world, especially Turkey, owes it favors, the report said.
He also criticized what he called Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's inability to receive as warm a welcome to the his own Knesset as he does when he speaks before the American Congress, referring to a speech he gave in the United States earlier in the summer.
The Turkish president's comments came after on Thursday he stated that Turkey never harassed Israeli tourists at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport, despite reports that some 40 passengers were singled out and underwent more stringent security procedures than other travelers.
Gül said that the deterioration of ties between Ankara and Jerusalem was not being directed towards "individuals."
Speaking to pan-Arab Al-Arabiya, Gül also restated Turkish plans to head to the International Criminal Court to determine the legality of the blockade on the Gaza Strip adding that Ankara rejected the UN-backed Palmer report which legitimized the IDF blockade.
Of course, if you do not like the result just demand a do-over, with yourself as the referee.
