Its leaders may or may not be crypto-mullahs as the joke went in this column on Wednesday (amazing, there were readers who took it seriously!). But let\u2019s visit the \u201cTurkish side\u201d of the incident.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">Mr. Strategic Depth, otherwise known as Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, thinks the Israeli raid on the Gaza \u201caid\u201d flotilla was \u201cTurkey\u2019s 9\/11.\u201d Big words. But they hint at something serious.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\"><!--more--><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">The scenario plotted by very important Islamist Turks remains incomplete to this day. For a perfect closure, i.e., cashing in on the event for domestic and global Muslim popularity \u2013 the former to secure power and the latter to bolster neo-Ottomanist dreams \u2013 something bold should happen to inject one idea into the Muslim audience\u2019s mind: that Tayyip Bey gave the bloodthirsty Jews a big lesson!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">Many options are on the table, with their pros and cons, and the official Turkey sitting around various meeting tables pondering where, when and how to hit back best (best = maximum public impact, minimum political cost). There is plenty of time. Elections are more than a year ahead. But if I were an Israeli cabinet minister running into Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan at an international conference I would either run away immediately. Sadly, there will be a closure, and it won\u2019t come in a pleasant way.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">Mr. Erdo\u011fan made a very smart speech in Parliament when he warned angry Turks to distinguish among Israelis, Jews and the Israeli government. Echoing the big boss, Istanbul\u2019s new governor, H\u00fcseyin Avni Mutlu, has said, \u201cHe is perfectly confident every Turkish Jew was as safe as Muslims\u201d and that \u201cwe are certain no Turkish Jew feels threatened.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">I have an idea! Should the esteemed governor agree, we can put his \u201cconfidence\u201d to a little test.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">I suggest having the governor disguise himself perfectly as an Orthodox Jew and let him have a solo stroll on \u0130stiklal Avenue. If he can manage to safely reach halfway on \u0130stiklal, I\u2019ll confess I know nothing \u201cabout my own people.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">If I am right, the government will have to find a new governor for Istanbul. If that\u2019 too cruel, I could suggest the governor tour around Taksim in a civilian car bearing the Star of David, like millions around Turkey do with the Palestinian flag. If we go for the car experiment rather than the stroll at least the governor can have enough time to speed away.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">But why do the Turks have the \u201cPalestine fetish\u201d even though most of them can\u2019t point the Palestinian territories out on a map? Why did they not raise a finger when, for instance, the mullahs killed dissident Iranian Muslims? Why did the Turks not raise a finger when non-Muslim occupying forces killed a million Iraqi Muslims? Why did we not hear one single Turkish voice protesting the deaths of 300,000 Muslims in Darfur? Where were all these Turkish protestors when Israel was bombing Lebanon or when the Chinese police were using disproportionate force against their ethnic kin, the Uighurs?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">How many Turks protested when there was civil war in Algeria? How many volunteered for humanitarian aid missions for Sudan? Why were the protests too thin during the Serbian atrocities against Muslim Bosnians? What makes nine Gaza martyrs more sacred than all the other martyrs?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">Part of the explanation is that the Turks feel in solidarity with the Palestinians for exactly the same reasons why other nations feel in solidarity with the Palestinians: the intellectual drive to ally with the underdog. But that does not explain the whole picture.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">Another part is the political indoctrination Turkey\u2019s Islamists, communists and liberals and (even to a certain degree) ultra-nationalists went through in the early 1970s. These otherwise hostile groups in their ideological battles always united in pro-Palestinian rhetoric and (sometimes violent) action. The legend of the \u201cPalestinian cause\u201d has always been kept alive in the Crescent and Star.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">But still there is a big blank in the picture. Why, really, is there no one around when Muslims in different countries are brutalized or killed, yet \u201cevery Turk is Palestinian\u201d without or without death (say, the blockade on Gaza per se)? Whether we name it or not, whether we like it or not, whether it goes contrary to what the Islamist propaganda machine has been trying to persuade the West with the nice tag \u201cAlliance of Civilizations,\u201d the annoying explanation is that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is perceived by millions of Muslims (and very powerfully in Turkey) as a war of religions.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">Anyone curious why do the Turks, when they take to the streets for political demonstrations, carry placards written in Turkish, but in the case of Palestine the protest tools are often decorated with Arabic and Quranic scripts?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#003366\">Subconsciously (and sadly) the Muslim-Turkish thinking tolerates it if Muslims kill Muslims; does not tolerate it but does not turn the world upside down when Christians kill Muslims; pragmatically ignores it when too-powerful Christians kill Muslims; but is programmed to turn the world upside down when Jews kill Muslims.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Hurriyet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hurriyetdailynews.com\/n.php?n=why-is-palestine-8216a-second-cyprus8217-for-turks-2010-06-03\">http:\/\/www.hurriyetdailynews.com\/n.php?n=why-is-palestine-8216a-second-cyprus8217-for-turks-2010-06-03<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0391\u03bb\u03bb\u03ac \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03af \u03bf\u03b9 \u03a4\u03bf\u03cd\u03c1\u03ba\u03bf\u03b9 \u03ba\u03cc\u03c0\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03a0\u03b1\u03bb\u03b1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03af\u03bd\u03b9\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2, \u03bc\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd\u03cc\u03c4\u03b9 \u03bf\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c3\u03cc\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03b9 \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd \u03be\u03ad\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac \u03c0\u03bf\u03cd \u03c0\u03ad\u03c6\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03c4\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b1\u03bb\u03b1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd\u03b9\u03b1\u03ba\u03ac \u03b5\u03b4\u03ac\u03c6\u03b7 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03c7\u03ac\u03c1\u03c4\u03b7;
