Blind rage. Remember that the Kurdish rebel group PKK is listed as a terrorist organization internationally, including by the U.S. And note the Israelis’ sudden concern with the treatment of minorities inside Turkey. Israeli Foreign Minister Lieberman is also planning to aid the “Armenian lobby” in the U.S. so as to undermine the Turks. Per Ynet, [http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4119984,00.html] and thanks to Blankfort:
Lieberman is also planning to set meetings with the heads of Kurdish rebel group PKK in Europe in order to “cooperate with them and boost them in every possible area.” In these meetings, the Kurds may ask Israel for military aid in the form of training and arms supplies, a move that would constitute a major anti-Turkish position should it materialize.
However, the violent clashes between Turkey and the Kurds only constitute one reason prompting accusations that Ankara is violating human rights. Hence, another means in Lieberman’s “toolbox” vis-à-vis Erdogan is a diplomatic campaign where Israeli missions worldwide will be instructed to join the fight and report illegal Turkish moves against minorities.
