Turkey's Erdogan threatens to invade Israel over war in Gaza as regional tensions grow

Turkey’s leader on Sunday threatened military intervention in Israel to stop Jerusalem’s war in Gaza in a significant escalation of rhetoric from NATO’s second-largest military.

In a meeting with his Justice and Development Party (AKP), President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Turkey "must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine."

"Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them," he said, according to a Reuters report.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz came back swinging and suggested Erdoğan would meet a similarly deadly fate as Iraq’s former president, Saddam Hussein, who was executed by hanging in 2006.

"Erdoğan follows in the footsteps of Saddam Hussein and threatens to attack Israel. Just let him remember what happened there and how it ended," Katz said in a message posted to X that included a picture of Erdoğan and the former Iraqi leader. ................

   Maybe somebody should remind you of the terrorist Türkiye has had to fight on your southern border.  Keep it up "Erdy".  Every day you prove that you are no Ertuğrul, whom you seem to want to imitate.  Watch as Türkiye becomes less and less of a tourist attraction.  Watch out if you do attack Israel!

Thank you.  I'm working on it -- it's about 50 pages..... I'll get there.

I have never understood how Turkey became a member of NATO.

I have never understood how Turkey became a member of NATO.

Turkey had been a secular republic up until the past thirty or forty years. But with the rise of fundamentalist Islam the Turks have been captivated by the siren call of a renewed Caliphate with Turkey leading that new Islamic Empire.

And if Turkey attacks Israel then I imagine their NATO membership will abruptly end.

Perhaps, but the concern is the size of Turkey's military...and the U.S. is an ally.

The very strategic Dardanelles Strait and the Bosphorus Strait bottle up the USSR's and Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

As bad as new as this is, it might be the one thing we need to get them kicked out.

It is virtually impossible to remove a nation state from NATO.

But Netanyahu needs to make it clear to Turkey, any effort on their part will result in Israel using the weaponry it has available.

I say nuke the bastards if necessary.

Until the world wakes from their Rip van Winkle slumber regarding mussies, they need to realize mussies are the enemy of humanity.  Israel IMHO has the right to kill every last person in Gaza.  It is a genocidal society, and their elimination is the only solution to endless war.

The death of the 12 children in Israel would have me rendering southern Lebanon uninhabitable for 1,000 years.  Enough of this nonsense from f***ing mussies.

Then perhaps the time has come to abolish NATO completely, and send the turks their own way.

We no longer should be in it, either.
Europe is turning to islam, actually faster than expected, and we should NOT be "defending" what these nations are becoming.

Sorry if you don't like this post.

Turkey became a member of NATO to keep it from going commie and to stop the Soviet Union from gaining direct influence over the Middle East.  We were picking up the pieces of the post World War II collapse of the British Empire.

IMHO ... Turkey wants Ottoman Empire v2.0.

NATO is a defensive alliance, so, if Turkey is the aggressor, NATO is not obligated to help Turkey.

If Turkey is the aggressor, engaging Israel, it would be the perfect opportunity for Russia and Iran to expand influence in the region by aiding Turkey.

The scenario of Russia and Iran joining Turkey in attacking Israel would be quite devastating to the U.S. What about our military base in Turkey?  Would this administration defend Israel??  We cannot count on Joe and his clowns to make the right call.
