The One Times Two
“Israel is vindicated on the Gaza flotilla, but Turkey still pouts,” writes the WSJ below.
Except that what Turkey is currently doing is more than just pouting or throwing (faux) hissy fits. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s Islamist Prime Minister, is doing what he’s long been dreaming of doing and that’s become the Islamic version of The One.

~ Anthony Grant, jourrnalist who has written for many major newspapers and worked in television at Paris and Tel Aviv, interviewing former PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, at the outset of Mr. Netanyahu's new book (more here).
