Officials from the Turkish intelligence agencies are reporting that surveillance data collected by Israeli drones is being given to the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) in helping them plan operations against Turkish targets.
A new report says that the surveillance has been going on for awhile, and that Turkey has caught Israeli drones flying over its southern provinces. They also say that PKK leaders have repeatedly visited Israel in recent months, presumably to get access to the data.
The consequences of the move are so far unclear, but Turkish officials believe that the data was used to help the PKK set up training camps in Northern Syria in places where the presence of border patrol isn’t as strong.
The revelation could have serious consequences for Israel’s already strained relationship with Turkey. So far Israeli officials haven’t addressed the latest claims, but in September Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman urged Israel to begin arming the PKK to “punish” Turkey for perceived diplomatic slights.
Core Israeli political values: Deception. Duplicity. Destabilization.
You forgot murder.
israel may be used to do whatever it wants with and to the US and Europe, but with Turkey they're not going to find obedience and acquiescence. Turkey could be the key to putting an end to the rampant idiocy and mania of israel's current government.
Yes Rick, Israel is beginning to wage war against a NATO member country, Turkey. The US doesn´t even have a written mutual defense agreement with Israel. Under the NATO charter, all member countries are obligated to defend Turkey against outside aggression, in this case against a country with no mutual defense treaties with any other nations – Israel would be all alone. What an interesting predicament.
The hue and cry from the bought and owned Congress to support our "friend" Israel against a NATO treaty member would indeed be an interesting conundrum for Obama. It might even, finally, codify out relationship with the Israelis for the world to see. And if they decided to side with Israel it could be the end of NATO – which might not be a bad thing. It might also bring considerable pressure, not only from the US, on Israel to fly straight and act like a responsible world participant………not.
Well, what's more likely to happen is that israel will be made to join nato and all problems solved. Next time a Palestinian kid throws a rock in the direction of the apartheid wall, the US can intervene and bomb Palestine night and day.
Let's hope that Turkey can pull the upstart nation of Israel into line. Someone has to do it and soon!
If Israel attacks Iran, the bull will be out of the pen and there will be hell to pay in the Middle East.
Can the world not see the danger here? WW3 will be no joke and nukes will be used further damaging our battered Earth.
The Dark Kingdom is on the march. Fight it or succumb to it, it's your choice!
This is an act of war against a NATO ally. America has a treaty obligation to treat this, should Turkey request it, as casus belli. All that is lacking in Washington, however, is honor. The Turks will be treated the same way the crew of the USS Liberty was, as mere goyim, that is, cattle.
Turkey has the Biggest military in the region (second biggest in NATO) including Israel, their weapons are of similar quality to Israel and they have anti Aircraft weaponry, something Israeli Pilots have forgotten about, they also have F16s with EXACTLY the same armaments and an F16 factory so plenty of spares A bigger Navy than Israel. 2000 Main battle tanks 400 of which are top of the line Abrams WITH DU armour and Ammunition.
This is not a clever move!
I find it amazing that Israel did not put any of its troops into the Iraq effort but they are not above making a buck selling information to terrorist. Yes the terorist PKK are on the list of official terrorist list of the US government. Israel is starving the people of gaza for voting a group that Israel claims is on the list of terrorist but hey it is Israel an ally from hell. The crew of the USS Liberty will tell you the value of having an ally like Israel.
Israel's is Iago to America's Othello, and Turkey might turn out to be its' Desdemona. The Rick Perry moment in American politics has arrived and the big fool himself wasn't even involved. It can only be a lose-lose situation since no politician will ever dare to confront Israel no matter how huge the loss to our security. Othello, the outcome is in your hands. Will you dare to come to your senses now before it's too late?
