the foreign minister of israel's guy by the by the name of lieberman and uh...
he is a hawk to say the least
he he fancies himself a tough guy and he thinks hey you know what they have uh...
other countries don't
uh... cooperate with us and stand up to our bullying
well then we're going to show them
and right now he's got turkey in his cross hairs about turkey uh... has at
you know severed militarily ship with israel
the huge blow design honestly the church's was not good for anybody
uh... they've severed uh...
the financial times as well
and they have withdrawn their diplomat so that this is a very serious strain so
one little thing they were asking for was an apology
for the a ma beam armor full tower the one i was going to gaza
remember nine that tradition is overkill including one for sure american
an american citizen was killed by the israelis of course the u_s_o_c_ one
apology for that who cares as i can do whatever they want
but and this is a utilize citizens
you got there at the very least give us an apology israel thanks to lieberman
pressure netanyahu says no we want to paula jones we have some regrets but no
real politic ok you had a cup
so turkey response with the actions that i just told you witnesses okay i got a
great idea
uh... when i go back down toward the escalate
now subtle escalation is understandable i'm gonna tell you what it is
others is disastrous
first he says hey you know well
we gotta have use everything in our diplomatic as security toolbox against
the turks
he says when is your travel warning to all israeli military veterans
saying don't let me thirty and not only that building into a connecting flight
centre
alot thats diplomatic pressure that's economic pressure i think that's wholly
within the bounds of reason you might not agree with that but pasted furtado
and turkeys responding in in israel's responding in
in responsible okay i got no problems with okay
so as far as things that are within the playing field ok of diplomacy in
financial stuff
fine book in a sense
uh... we will also meet with armenia lobby here in the u_s_
uh... to help them
with uh... armenian genocide resolutions and to put a lot of pressure on turkey
here in the united states again i think that that's fair but that's injury or
disagree is within the normal bounds of diplomacy and pressure that you put on
another country
so
so both sides are doing this so far in my estimation oprah
here we go into trouble
the third thing that lieberman is suggesting that israel do
argue that the armenians should simply take a piece of turkeys territory
and attach it to their country
okay do you cross the line now your questions territorial integrity of
turkey
if turkey said hey you know what i think that uh... israel should give up i put
in tel aviv
and give it to whoever palestinians egyptians jordanians
israel would lose their mind over let me say are you crazy
okay so
and then when you are charging you say how much a piece of your territory
that is not going to be received well that is an escalation that is not smart
but i haven't gotten to the worst of it even if it was within that
you know maybe you could make an argument for being really tough
diplomatically
they don't really mean if they're not really going to push for maybe right
although lee room is very serious about it
here comes the killer
and maybe literally
lieberman says
that israel should work with the p k k
terrorist kurdish organization
to help them in every way imaginable
in fact let me be the exact quote
he says
we should call cooperate with them and bruce them
every possible area
there's a terrorist organization
can you imagine if turkey came and said hey you know what hamas
i would like to help you and every imaginable way including some of the tax
feel which is blowing up israeli citizens eight killing them
now what kind of trouble we have on our heads
so here comes israel's foreign minister to say yeah
we should help the p_t_a_ cake chill turkish citizens
way beyond any reasonable diplomacy that say hey why don't we go to war wouldn't
that be fun all in terms of against bust is gaining momentum he morlan
unacceptable in all the condemnation or terrorism against you know we love in
fact we wanna financially support it
could here's a at what he says at the end of referring to terry's leader
everyone he says quote will exact a price romero on
that will prove
that messing with israel doesn't pay off charging their treat us with respect and
common decency
so you are asking for respecting common decency
by saying we will help terrorist kill your citizens
and you expect respect in common decency
no this lieberman guy is that
mass of danger not just of the region and not just
certainly not just a turkey
attorney to handle itself he's a massive danger d israel you cannot have guys
this right wing
going around antagonizing what you should be among the top allies turkey
was the first muslim nation in the world to recognize is rolling back in nineteen
forty nine they'd have a strong as military ties until those right wing
israeli government amen and people like lieberman antagonize antagonized and
then they turn around and go wow what widely of course we want you to do
terrorism against turkey about what we just one respect and decency that's not
how you get it that is this is the diplomacy this is madness
