From Winds of Jihad:
Turkey’s Jihad Against Israel
by sheikyermami on September 9, 2011
The increasing Islamization of Turkey has correlated with a dimmer outlook for its long-term stability, and an increase in the rash, confrontational policy-making we are observing now.
Turkey gives Israeli diplomats 2 days to leave
Turkey to step up naval patrols in waters where Israeli navy operates
The decision “raises the risk of a naval confrontation between the two powers,” and that’s exactly the idea. One must remember that all of this high-stakes brinkmanship stems from Turkey’s demand for an apology, though it’s not really about the apology. It is about boosting Turkey’s credentials among Islamic countries, and attempting to isolate and de-legitimize Israel.
More on this story, as the irony of Erdogan’s calling Israel a “spoiled boy” continues to mount.
Erdogan: Turkish warships will escort boats to Gaza

Iran’s latest offer to UN on nukes: You can watch us do what we please.
That’s if the UN cancels the sanctions against Iran. “Iran ready for ‘full’ UN oversight if sanctions go,” from Reuters, September 5:
TEHRAN - Iran would be ready to grant the UN atomic watchdog “full supervision” of its nuclear activities for five years if UN sanctions were lifted, a senior official was quoted as saying on Monday, an offer the West may greet with skepticism.
One would hope.
