"Israelis apologize to Turkey for insult" by Mark Lavie, Associated Press | January 14, 2010
JERUSALEM - Israel yesterday yielded to demands from Turkey and apologized over an insult to its ambassador, a government statement said, an attempt to defuse the latest crisis between the two nations.
When do I get mine from the newspaper?
On Monday, Israel’s deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon, summoned the Turkish ambassador to complain about a TV show. The ambassador was forced to sit on a low sofa without a handshake while Ayalon explained to local TV stations that the humiliation was intentional.
And they wonder why the world thinks they are a**holes?
Outraged, Turkey threatened to recall the ambassador.
Late yesterday, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said a letter of apology has been written. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey accepted the apology.
He's a better man than me because I never would have.
Not when it is INTENTIONAL!!
The crisis erupted Monday, when Ayalon summoned the Turkish ambassador to complain about a Turkish TV drama. The show, “The Valley of the Wolves,’’ depicts Israeli security forces kidnapping children and shooting old men.
What, NO WHITE PHOSPHOROUS BURNS or COLLAPSED APARTMENT BUILDINGS due to BOMBINGS? Why is Israel comlaining?
Over the past decade, the two states had built up a strong relationship, but recently tensions have risen.
Why, MSM? Why would that be? Why leave us hanging?

Is Turkey’s relationship with Israel going through a rocky patch or has it passed the point of no return?

"Truth Will Prevail
by Gilad Atzmon
The Israeli government doesn’t think twice before it orders a genocidal attack against civilians. Israeli military leaders do not think twice before they drop bombs on one of the most densely populated places on the planet. They also do not hesitate whether to use artillery shells against a UN refugee shelter. The Israeli people do not think twice before they approve en masse their army’s inhuman tactics. But for some bizarre reason, the Israelis are devastated to find out that the rest of humanity is coming to terms with their true nature. Once again it is a Turkish TV drama that exposes the Israelis for what they are. A murderous collective motivated by vengeance.....
If you wonder what the Israelis do when they are exposed for who and what they are, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon has an answer to offer. Ayalon went out of his way this week to snub Turkey's ambassador to Israel over his country's “persistent criticism of the Jewish state”. The Israeli official refused to shake the Turkish Ambassador’s hand and made him sit on a lower seat at a meeting. He also made sure that a cameraman was there to document the humiliation. Submerged in Jewish pride the Israeli Deputy Foreign minister was probably convinced that for Israel to get away with murder, treating a Goy diplomat with contempt must be the way forward.
The Israelis are boiling with anger with the Turks. They do not like to be seen through, they much prefer to be loved and admired regardless of their criminal record. For some peculiar reason Israelis lack the capacity to see themselves through others, they categorically insist on avoiding looking in the mirror. Instead they demand that the rest of humanity turns a blind eye to their war crimes and even apologizes for being witnesses to their horrific acts....
Of course, Israel will never apologize here. That would be like admitting to war crimes!
"Efforts to revive Mideast talks stall; Netanyahu, Abbas dismiss US pitch to negotiate anew" by Ben Hubbard, Associated Press | January 13, 2010
RAMALLAH, West Bank - An upcoming diplomatic mission by US Mideast envoy George Mitchell could be doomed from the outset....

Yeah, it pretty much does, doesn't it?
The United States has failed to get Israel to halt construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.....
I couldn't have put it better myself. Well, I could have, but....
The Obama administration has recently suggested bypassing the settlement issue by getting the two sides to discuss the borders of a Palestinian state, including a partition of Jerusalem.
Sure. HAVE ISRAEL RECOGNIZE PALESTINIAN BORDERS!
Oh, you mean they WON'T DO THAT?
Then f*** 'em!!!!
What the hell is to recognize, anyway?
I guess they COULD RECOGNIZE GAZA, huh?
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has said that by focusing on the endgame, such talks would defuse the problem of settlements....
Did she really say that, or is this more Zionist signals to the globalist pawns not to buck?
The United States lost credibility among Palestinians by backing down on settlements, an issue they see as an important test of Washington’s resolve. Under the US-backed “road map’’ plan, Israel is required to freeze all settlement construction.
Now they are saying its a slowdown, not a freeze.

Israel Intends to Keep All Settlements
Later yesterday, Netanyahu’s office issued a statement saying that “in any peace agreement, a united Jerusalem will remain under Israeli sovereignty in secure Israeli borders that will not include a return to the 1967 borders.’’
But NO PRECONDITIONS, right, Bibi?
The statement was issued in response to an Israeli newspaper report that suggested Netanyahu had softened his positions.
Also yesterday, Israel arrested two prominent Palestinian organizers of weekly protests against Israel’s West Bank separation barrier.
Yeah, ADD THAT to the END! Don't HEADLINE IT!!!
Activists accuse Israel of trying to stifle political dissent with an arrest campaign. Dozens of protesters have been rounded up since the summer.
And I HAVE SEEN NOTHING OF IT in my Israeli, 'er, Zionist newspaper.
The West Bank has been largely pacified, and the barrier protests in the villages of Naalin and Bilin are among the last pockets of unrest.
These ORWELLIAN TERMS are DISGUSTING, readers!!!
The barrier separates Palestinians from nearly 10 percent of the West Bank, in what they view as a land grab.
Yeah, THAT is what is, all right!

Of course, THIS PROTEST is WORTH a PHOTOGRAPH:

"Sarkozy’s party seeks ban on burqa in France" by Bloomberg News | January 13, 2010
Talk about a ZIONIST TOOL!!!
PARIS - President Nicolas Sarkozy’s party plans to ban the wearing in public of Muslim head-to-toe robes including the burqa and the niqab under a bill introduced yesterday in France’s National Assembly.
No other problems to worry about, 'eh, Nico?
“We must produce a firm response in face of new forms of delinquency and burgeoning radical behavior that have no place in our republic,’’ the Union for a Popular Movement party in Parliament’s lower chamber in Paris said in an e-mailed text of the bill....
How about the MASS-MURDER of INNOCENTS in ILLEGAL WARS?
How DELINQUENT and burgeoning are those, 'eh?
You know, those ROBES are NOT STOPPING SHRAPNEL and BOMBS!!!!
About 1,900 Muslim women in the country wear the burqa or niqab, according to Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux. Most wearers are under the age of 30....
THAT'S IT??!!
How do you say MAKING a MOUNTAIN out of a MOLEHILL in French?
The law would fine people who wear clothing covering their face in public $1,087. The bill comes after Sarkozy said in June that the burqa is “not welcome’’ in France.
But ISRAELI WAR CRIMINALS will!
The planned burqa ban has stirred debate in France with opponents warning that it might fuel tensions and be difficult to enforce.
The Zionist can ONLY HOPE, huh?
“We’ll have Al Qaeda’s number two chief Al-Zawahiri on Al-Jazeera television and there will be threats,’’ Marc Trevidic, France’s top antiterrorism judge, told Journal du Dimanche newspaper Sunday. “Are police officers going to fine the emirs visiting with their veiled wives in a five-star hotel?’’
No.
The LAW is for POOR FOLK, not ELITES who are ABOVE IT ALL!!!!

Yup.
And the Zionist AmeriKan MSM should apologize for not reporting these:
Days after an acid attack in downtown Hong Kong, and in preparation for a non-conventional attack on Israel, the National Emergency Authority (NEA) will hold the largest-ever exercise to train security forces how to respond to a citywide biological attack. Defense officials said Tuesday that Israel needs to be prepared for a biological attack.
"We need to be ready for everything that can happen," said one senior official, who is involved in planning the drill. "There are crazy people running around the world who, with the right materials and access to the Internet, can carry out such an attack."
Israel Dragging Gaza to New War: Analysts
Yeah, ANY WAR they can FIND! It's been about time.
Ever notice every two years or so, Israel has to attack and draw Arab blood?
IOF troops bulldoze land in Gaza, detain Jerusalemites for planting olives
• Why would the US Army need to operate out of Israel?
• Who does the US Army perceive to be the enemy (Gaza, Lebanon or Syria)?
• Why would a requirement exist to stockpile in Israel when they have access to both Turkey on one side and Egypt and Jordan on the other?
• Will the arms that are intended for use by the IDF still be process via the President or Congress?
It is obvious that this new tactic is a way of smuggling (some would say gun running) weapons into Israel for their own usage against Gaza and Iran.
Two Palestinians and one child were injured on Tuesday as Israeli forces prohibited farmers from tending to their land in Safa village in the northern Hebron governorate, solidarity workers said. “While the farmers were planting olive trees, Israeli forces attacked them and clashes erupted between both sides,” said media spokesman for the Palestine Solidarity Project Mohammad Awad.
What happened, MSM? Fall asleep again?

Massive Israeli Biological Attack Drill Begins
A two-day exercise simulating a response to a biological warfare attack will begin Wednesday in the Dan region. The exercise, which will be the largest of its kind in Israel's history, will be carried out in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Holon, seeks to evaluate the ability of the Home Front, medical services, rescue teams and municipal authorities to respond to conditions created by a biological catastrophe caused either by terrorists or by some kind of accident.
