A blog post in The Guardian addresses Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan's yesterday's speech in Egypt when the Turkish PM
condemned Israel, calling for the recognition of the Palestinean state.
Commenting on Erdogan's attacking remarks about Israel, blogger Matan
Meridor criticises Turkey, recommending the country to deal with its
problems before raising human rights issues.
"Israel is entering a new era where [a] mood against us is growing,"
she said. "I am very concerned about the situation. It frightens me
to think that consequences could be more bloodshed."
But Erdogan's demand that Israel respect human rights was dismissed by
Meridor. "Turkey doesn't even acknowledge the genocide of the Armenians
so it's the last nation to preach about human rights," she says.
