The Turks Cut Ties

The Turkish government has given up on diplomacy:

# has severed all ties with #, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Wednesday. # made the comments to journalists aboard his plane following visits to # and #.

“The government of the Republic of Turkey, under the leadership of Tayyip Erdogan, will not continue or develop relations with Israel,” Erdogan said. “[Our ruling coalition] is resolute in its decision to cut ties with Israel, and we will maintain this stance in the future as well. We, as the Republic of Turkey and its government, have currently severed all relations with Israel.”
The # was clearly a step too far for many # around the # to accept. While there are still a fair number of # in the # who cling to the “plucky little Israel” rhetoric, the rest of the world has been # by the # of the #. Fair or not, in the binary thinking of world opinion, they are the bad guys now. Because there are acts that no provocation, rationalization, or justification will suffice to explain away.

Especially when all you’ve got to offer is a green flag.
