This was disturbing. Is Turkey looking to consolidate power by taking up sides with the New Egypt? This Arab spring looks to be growing into summer.

Nothing to do with Egypt, nor power seeking. The fall out happened long before the "Spring". Turkey was until recently Israel's best friend in the Muslim World.

"Over the past 18 months the two countries have lurched from one diplomatic crisis to another, culminating in the furious Turkish response to Israel's raid on the convoy of ships trying to reach Gaza."

Turkey is no ally of ours.
They should be treated as the scum that they are.
