Does Zionist arrogance know no bounds?
"U.S. President Barack Obama earlier this month reportedly warned Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that his country's strained ties with Israel and increasing support of Iran could hinder an arms deal between Ankara and Washington. The White House later denied giving Ankara an ultimatum. However, Washington has also expressed displeasure with Turkey's "no" vote at the United Nations on tough new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program. A U.S. Treasury delegation visited Turkey last week with the intention of demanding an end to trade with Iran, but was unsuccessful. Following Israel's offensive in Gaza, Turkey called off a joint military drill with Israel, and relations were strained further after Israel rebuked the then Turkish envoy over a television show depicting Israeli soldiers as cold-blooded killers. The most critical blow to Israeli-Turkish relations, however, came this year on May 31, when Israeli commandos raided a Turkish aid convoy trying to break the naval blockade on Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of nine Turkish activists. Turkey had threatened to cut off diplomatic ties with Israel, and continues to demand an official apology over the raid. Turkey is taking over the UN Security Council presidency, starting September 1, for a month-long term." more >>

Police Review: magazine cartoon - "In staggeringly poor taste"
from J4J campaign, 18 November 2008: We would imagine that, in the midst of the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, publications aimed at and widely read by serving police officers would show greater sensitivity in the way they talk about fatal shootings by the police. But evidently not. The magazine "Police Review", in its 14 November edition, decided that the introduction of new rules preventing firearms officers from conferring after a shooting was best illustrated by this appalling cartoon. more
