Turkey Ratchets Up Tensions With Israel

Turkey is systematically ratcheting up tensions with Israel, using the Gaza flotilla incident:



Erdogan & Co are obviously doing this to make themselves the big kids on the Islamic bloc.
But will they be able to continue riding this tiger, or will things blow up in their face?

I'd always felt that the Israelis made a deep strategic error in forging a longterm strategic alliance with the Turks. It was inevitable that Kemalist secularism would collapse in the long run. Now that it has, what will the Israelis do? They have now left themselves in a strategic wilderness.

If I were them, I would quickly try to improve ties with Greece, including even its crooked socialists.

The Swedish Modoggie Archives

The above is a link to Gates of Vienna's archive on the Swedish Modoggie affair.

Has Shikhandi MMS issued demarches to the Swedes yet on behalf of the world's largest dhimmocracy? Or is GOI going to express it's secular displeasure by removing the Gripen
fighter from the IAF's shortlist?

Yeah, those Scandinavians do have a sense of humour. Yet, if there is another dhimmi country
on this planet with the dhimmitude to match that of the Indian seculars, it is Sweden
closely followed by Denmark. The Vegetable lasagna Scandinavian dhimmis are as guilty as
the insufferable Englishmen when it comes to hectoring India on Kashmir, "minority rights",
"religious freedom" etc.

While I do appreciate the satire and the attempt to incite debate about European
self-censorship in matters pertaining to Islam, freedom of expression etc, wouldn't
their interests be better served by deporting the millions of Muslims in Sweden who indulge
in loot, murder and rapine of the natives at will?
