« A New Egypt | Main | Warning Warning » Israel and Turkey, Again
By Micah Halpern
Sunday February 1, 2009 I've Been Thinking: Remember the spat between Turkey and Israel at the World Economic Forum in Davos? Peres: These things can happen between friends. Erdogan: Firstly, of course. There is no doubt that such arguments can happen between friends. But nobody can even speak to a tribe leader so loudly and in front of the international community, and not to the leader of the Republic of Turkey. Peres: I raised my voice. In fact my friends tell me that I have a quite voice. This has nothing to do with my relationship with the prime minister of the Republic of Turkey. I am very sorry for what happened today. Erdogan: I heard that you are going to hold a press conference. Peres: Not today, but tomorrow. Erdogan: If you express these sincere feelings, which I believe you will, in tomorrow's press conference, I assume this problem will be mostly overcome. Peres: Of course I will publicly express these remarks. In conclusion: Paying attention to what Erdogan said, we hear that the problem will be mostly overcome if Peres apologizes publicly. Erdogan stressed that nobody can even speak to a tribal leader the way Peres spoke to him. A massive personal injury was done here. Unfortunately, while the insult is real the foundation for the argument is false. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
