I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
If that situation keeps getting worse and Turkey pushes its strategy too far, I wouldn't be surprised if Israel went for payback through the Kurds.
The pissing contest was already under way before that, for instance when he refused to receive Sharon in 2003. After that, it's really been hot and cold between those countries.
