How cynical can a political leader get? Turkey’s government is not a secular ally of the west, but fast becoming a Taliban -esque extremist government which is fast becoming a detriment to western interests. Membership I the European Union is not going to change that, assuming Turkey is seriously about joining the European Union I the first place.
But that is all European and British pageantry. If Europe believes allowing Turkey into the club can stall Islamic extremism or create an ally to help keep Iran from getting the bomb, that is their pursuit. The same goes for the United Kingdom offering appeasement to various countries which are adamant supporters of Islamic terrorism. The spirit of Neville Chamberlain and all that rot.
But to attack Israel, the country’s longstanding ally in the Middle East y perpetuating the myth Gaza is being starved into submission is a blatant lie and betrayal for dubious political gain. Gaza just opened its first mega mall a week ago which attracted thousands of shoppers. These people are not starving, but claiming Israel is committing genocide is sadly politically advantageous, so Cameron went for it.
As I said, the political ramifications are Europe's problem, but I am reminded of a bigger issue besides political maneuverings. That is God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 21:31:
"I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you."We already have to worry about this thanks to Barack Obama's animosity towards Israel and his inability to appreciate the evil that extremist Islam can bring.
