( Levant) While the Islamic world washes its hands of the bloodshed currently ongoing in Syria. I mean contrast the response around the world to when Israel went into Gaza in 2009 in which to make Hamas pay for launching hundreds of missiles into their much larger neighbour (1500 dead majority Hamas gunmen) to the over 16000 people (majority civilians) murdered in Syria this past year. Yup there's that famous Simon and Garfunkel song playing in the background again.
Anyway after continuing to protest about Israel day in and day out over 5 Turkish thugs shot in 2010, the Turks remain very silent on the thousands killed next door by their so called new friend Syria. This stance was substantiated by how a Turkish F4 reconnaissance jet was shot by the Syrians last week. It seems that while happy to play hard ball with Israel (Well on paper anyway) they really don't wish to offend Syria for shooting down one of their jets. Well the Turks have called in NATO in an attempt to use their mantra of one for all, all for one as an excuse to have somebody who can fight in their corner.
Well today US intelligence have revealed that actually the Turkish jet was in Syrian airspace. Get that, the Turks were in the wrong and officially, the Syrians did nothing wrong. Oh dear instead of saying something (you know like they do on a daily basis with Israel) The Turks remain silent.
Funny that. Hat tip: Eye On The World
