Apologize to Turkey? Netanyahu Tells Clinton, ‘No Thanks’
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has turned down U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s requests and will not apologize to Turkey for the IDF’s counter terrorist action that killed nine IHH terror activists in the flotilla clash a year ago, Army Radio reported Wednesday.
Senior members of the Cabinet have strongly opposed the apology that Turkey has demanded and they said that if anyone should say he is sorry, it should be Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. His country has funded and encouraged the IHH-terror linked organization in its effort to engage the IDF in conflict on the high seas by trying to challenge Israel’s sovereignty over the coastal waters of Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Likud Ministers Benny Begin and Moshe Ya’alon, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman of Yisrael Beiteinu and Interior Minister Eli Yishai of Shas have said that Israel has nothing to apologize for.
The Obama administration has been anxious to improve ties between Jerusalem and Ankara, which was friendly with Israel for two decades until the three-week counter terrorist Operation Cast Lead campaign in the winter of 2008-2009.
A United Nations report by the Palmer investigation committee is due to be published next week, but previously released reports stated that it determined Israel’s actions as legal but disproportionate. The report also is expected to partly blame Turkey for the confrontation, a charge that has caused Erdogan to work to suppress the report.
FYI, I would have also told the U.N to kiss my ass. You can read the rest of the article hereIsraeli.

I’d like to say something optimistic about Israel’s position in the Middle East. I’d like to, but I can’t. What a mess.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could have used Lt. Col. Aleen West’s template letter
This is nuts. Also Turkey should be at least suspended
from NATO until the Islamist government is replaced.

It seems that the US is demanding that Israel apologize to those who came to kill them. Got that?
A. Turkey attacks Israel (running a naval blockade is act of war).
B. In doing so they bring guns, knives, clubs and attack practically unarmed soldiers.
C. In self-defense, the attackers are subdued.
D. The attackers demand that the victim apologize.
E. The victim offers to do so under specific terms.
F. The Attacker rejects the terms, and demands more.
G. The U.S. (A supposed ally of the victim) gets involved and demands that the victim apologize to its attackers.
Oy.
But, of course, that isn’t enough for Turkey. (is it ever?): Erdogan: Apology not enough, demands end of blockade. (don’t forget that the border between Gaza & Egypt is completely open)
