"Moses
is Moses. Jesus is Jesus. And Business is business." — Western
Ambassador in Ankara.
Turkey's prime minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, expressed pride on Nov. 11,
that "Turkey was the [world's] loudest voice against Israel's
actions."
"From here, I once more call on Israel and Israel's brutal rulers:
Don't you dare considering resuming these attacks against al-Quds [Jerusalem]
and the al-Aqsa Mosque, regarding ... internal turmoil and tension in the
Islamic world as an opportunity. Even if everyone remains silent, the
government of the Republic of Turkey will not keep silent," Davutoglu
said.
"Moses is Moses, Jesus is Jesus and business is business," a
Western ambassador in Ankara said after shyly smiling at Davutoglu's
televised speech. He was right.
In a recent article in this journal, this author reminded that:
"At an international donors' conference for Gaza in March 2009, the
Turkish pledges stood at a mere $93 million. That pledge accounted for only
2.1 percent of all international pledges made at that conference.
