so why not give the Turks the chance to try something different? who else in the world has the legitimacy with all sides that Erdogan has? for years Turkey has been a friend of Israel at the expense of her relations with its neighbors; now it is just trying to balance this relationship.

Erdogan has been tough on Israel with his recent comments; but has gained a tremendous legitimacy & respect with Arab/Muslim masses which means when the well-reasoned Turks/Erdogan sits down to hear Israel`s demands for a comprehensive peace and sees that Israel is serious-he can go DIRECTLY to the Arab public telling them that HE THINKS this is a fair deal and MUST be signed on to by Hamas/Arabs even if the leadership of HAMAS and Arabs countries don`t want to because Erdogan can simply go to the Arab public directly now...please be wise and smart and don`t get blinded by emotion to ur (& Israel`s) detriment because an unstable/unsecure Israel does not benefit anyone incl. Turkey.
