Ribit, loss of a significant trade partner's not good. I have to see if Turkey's presenting at the Durban III celebration at the UN later this month. that might explain it. My early perception is Turkey's trying to prove it's Islamic and if they're speaking at Durban, giving Israel the boot is exactly what they'd need to speak there, as it is a celebration of measures against a so-called racist Israel. Bunch of looney tunes at the UN.
Another factor is Israel's losing friendly neighbors at a rapid rate, due to the Arab Spring. Wonder if the whole thing's a plot. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize public uprising will result in Islamist states.
