Israel made the very grave mistake of murdering people aboard a Turkish ship in international waters. The foreign ministry has released this protest. I predict the recall of Turkey's ambassador to Israel (the same one Danny Ayalon treated like a retarded midget) and the possible severing of diplomatic relations. In fact, Amos Harel pretty much confirms my hunch. I predict a long hard couple of years of frigid relations with Turkey in which the current Islamist government will make life miserable for Israel in every international forum it can find. You want Goldstone before the Security Council? You got it. You want international arrest warrants against Israeli generals? You got it. Dimi Reider tweets: Spain, Greece and Turkey all summoned Israeli ambassadors [home]... Gaza Freedom March tweets that Sweden has withdrawn its ambassador and that Ireland has declared an emergency (not sure what this means). It's going to be a long hot couple of weeks for the foreign ministry. EU members don't take kindly to their members being murdered in cold blood on the high seas. How long will we wait for a similar response from Hillary?? http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/

I'm certain we will hear more tomorrow about the diplomatic stir.
