So the Prime Minister of Turkey calls Israel “a festering boil in the Middle East that spreads hate and enmity,”….

For all his (Turkish PM) denunciations of Israel’s alleged brutality in Monday’s raid, he was among the first foreign leaders to congratulate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his “victory” in last year’s presidential election. He’s also had no trouble getting close to Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, despite the U.N.’s investigation into Syria’s role in the 2005 assassination of Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri.

So much, then, for the notion that Jerusalem has needlessly junked its friendship with Ankara for the sake of stopping a mere ship of fools. That “friendship” had already been degraded by a Turkish government that appears to have an ingrained hostility toward the Jewish state, remarkable sympathies for nearby radical regimes, and an attitude toward extremist groups like the IHH that borders on complicity.

The first response to Turkey’s drift to Islamic fascism would be to suspend their involvement in the Joint Strike Fighter programme, cancelling their JSF industrial contracts, with an investigation into their continued membership in NATO. Denying Turkey access to key military hardware and information would over time greatly erode their military and industrial edge over Israel. Giving Turkey access to this type of technology would be a back-door way for Iran to re-constitute, to some extend, their phantom Air Force and other aspects of their military. Now that it is becoming more apparent just how virulently anti-Semitic the Turkish government is, Australia could not in all good conscience continue its membership in a programme as important as the JSF, of which  Turkey is a foundation member. If the US does not move to suspend Turkey’s involvement in JSF, Australia should withdraw from the programme and hold a competitive tendering process to replace our Hornets.

Australia should remove the Turkish flag from the Kemal Atatürk Memorial in Canberra. If this results in a tick for tat reaction at ANZAC Cove so be it. Australia had a crucial role in liberating Palestine from Ottoman rule in WWI – an essential pre-condition for the establishment of the Israeli state. We were the first country to vote to give the Jews a homeland. Australia’s greatest general was a Jew. Given this historical background, Australia in all good conscience cannot continue to have the flag of an increasingly radicalised government fly in such a prominent location in our national capital. It is becoming embarrassing.

Enact a two year moratorium on immigration from Turkey and other like minded radicalised Islamic nation-states. Unfund the teaching of Turkish in Australian public schools.

UPDATE

In case you needed anymore convincing:

TURKEY’S Prime Minister says he doesn’t view radical Palestinian group Hamas, Israel’s arch-foe, as a terrorist organisation.

“Hamas are resistance fighters who are struggling to defend their land. They have won an election,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said yesterday in a speech broadcast live on television.

“I have told this to US officials… I do not accept Hamas as a terrorist organisation. I think the same today. They are defending their land.”

So Turkey is basically aligning itself with Hamas, who is at war with Israel, the USA and virtually every other western country.

ASHLEY HALL: So do you think that Turkey, the Turkish government engineered this situation to turn the two countries into enemies?

ELY KARMON: In my view, it is no doubt that this was organised, plannified. On the one hand to try to break the Israeli-Turkish alliance, but on the other hand also to support Hamas because Hamas actually is a faction of the Muslim Brotherhood, is a brotherly party of the AKP.

AKP is the governing party in Turkey. However the ABC keeps on referring to the flotilla as ‘aid ships’, as if it was a factual reference. It is highly contentious. They are blockade busting ships. The Israel offered to transport their ‘aid’ to Gaza over land but the offer was refused. Is there any humanitarian ‘aid’ on the ships? It has not been confirmed. There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza anyway. The whole place is paid for by the UN.

The newspaper Yeni Safak, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s daily read, claimed that Americans were tossing so many Iraqi bodies into the Euphrates that local mullahs had issued a fatwa ordering residents not to eat the fish. The same paper repeatedly claimed that the U.S. used chemical weapons in Fallujah. And it reported that Israeli soldiers had been deployed alongside U.S. forces in Iraq and that U.S. forces were harvesting the innards of dead Iraqis for sale on the U.S. “organ market.”

More or less the equivalent lunacy whipped up on the ABC’s Q&A on a weekly basis.

The secular Hurriyet newspaper, meanwhile, accused Israeli soldiers of assassinating Turkish security personnel in Mosul and said the U.S. was starting an occupation of (Muslim) Indonesia under the guise of humanitarian assistance. Then U.S. ambassador to Turkey Eric Edelman actually felt the need to organize a conference call to explain to the Turkish media that secret U.S. nuclear testing did not cause the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. One of the craziest theories circulating in Ankara was that the U.S. was colonizing the Middle East because its scientists were aware of an impending asteroid strike on North America.

US colonising Indonesia? Hadn’t heard about it. If you read the rest of the article, what becomes even more crazy is that the Turkish PM in the interview with the WSJ won’t condemn, denounce or call the myths floating around the Turkish media and government as lies.

There can be little doubt the Turkish flotilla that challenged the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza was organized with his approval, if not encouragement. Mr. Erodogan’s foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, is a proponent of a philosophy which calls on Turkey to loosen Western ties to the U.S., NATO and the European Union and seek its own sphere of influence to the east. Turkey’s recent deal to help Iran enrich uranium should come as no surprise.

Turkey is the country that should be called to account. More from the National Review Online:

….all the Ergodan government is accomplishing through its loud rhetoric and veiled threats is to turn off both elite and popular opinion in the United States, where we are collectively asking, “Are we really allied with such a country and its values, and what are our responsibilities to it under the NATO accords?” Indeed, the more we review the Turkish question, the more it becomes clear that Turkish ambitions are growing antithetical to our own.

And to think that the three major parties in the UK seem officially to have no problem with Turkey joining the EU. Parallels are being drawn over Turkish ships trying to break the Gaza blockade. For instance a flotilla to the Kurds in Turkey or the US in Guantanamo Bay. How about a flotilla to ‘free the refugees’ in Christmas Island or in Naru, etc… How would Rudd react?

…..a spokesperson has confirmed that the Canadian Humanitarian Appeal for Relief of Tamils known as Canadian HART sent a delegation to Venezuela, requesting that the government consider accepting Tamil refugees, currently located in Indonesia.

Paradise awaits.

So when the ABC describes the flotilla as ‘aid ships’ and full of ‘activists’ it merely shows how well Hamas is running its PR campaign and how deluded the ABC has become with its own fashionable political views.

The reason that it did not want to allow this flotilla is because, as the spokesman for the flotilla said herself, this was not about humanitarian relief. It was about breaking the blockade….

….the proof of that is the fact that if you look at a map of Gaza, you’ll see that Israelis only control three sides of this rectangle. There’s a fourth side on the Egyptian side. So it is an Egyptian-Israeli blockade….

 So why do they have exactly the same blockade? Because Gaza is run by Hamas, a terror entity that wants to import weaponry and resume the war against Israel.

The Egyptians even have a contract with the US Army to build a wall on the Gaza border.

The 75 member Sri Lankan Tamil asylum seekers who have are presently detained in Malaysia have threatened to go on a fast unto death if their demands of seeking asylum are not met by the Malaysian Authorities.

According to reports reaching Colombo, the group of asylum seekers were stranded in a Multi-day fishing trawler off the coast of Tanjong Piandang, Perak in Malaysia on April 19 when their boat had given engine trouble.

The group of asylum seekers had left Sri Lanka hoping to enter either Australia or New Zealand via Malaysia.

And where is the ABC, Rudd, etc….?

In parliament, Kevin Rudd ridiculed Mr Abbott’s idea as retrograde. “I notice that the once-great Liberal Party hauled out the white flag on tax and returned to old faithful,” the Prime Minister said.

Sickening. 163 people are dead and Rudd ridicules the idea of stopping the flow of illegal immigrants.

Only a Tory without principles would demonise the Right. David Cameron’s coalition will stop at nothing to smear those who believe in traditional values.

Even though the UK economy and finances are completely and utterly in a shambles, its society broken with soft totalitarian types running rampant over people’s freedoms and the continuing anti-democratic attacks of the much hated EU, Cameron still couldn’t deliever an election victory.

Mr Cameron and those modernisers from the Conservative benches who have gone laughing into coalition with him do not want a debate that would expose so many illusions and betrayals. They fear their party will realise the truth sooner or later, and end up splitting; that would be inconvenient for those for whom power is not so much an aphrodisiac as an addiction.

The Daily Mail has a revealing take on the Cameron’s capitulation on getting rid of the Human Rights Act. Probably the most perverse piece of legislation in the UK. For instance:

Only yesterday, a court ruled that two men who plotted to kill thousands of Britons in a terrorist atrocity could not be sent home because it would infringe their human rights…

It has been blamed for hampering searches for foreign prisoners wrongly released by the Government because police were fearful that ‘Wanted’ posters would contravene the ‘right to respect for private and family life’.

Attempts to seize the assets of major criminals have been thwarted by legal challenges brought under the Act.

And rapist Anthony Rice was wrongly freed to murder because officials were concerned he might sue them for breaching human rights.

Even senior Labour Party figure Jack Straw once described it as ‘a villain’s charter’. Of course the left in Australia wanted something similar though Rudd backed down on the move. It will be interesting to see how long Cameron and the Conservative Party lasts.
