Here's a very interesting article (thanks Ian) inspired by response to a recent speech by Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan. It's a very balanced view which I recommend to you. The writer is Philip Giraldi, and the article can be found on 'Antiwar.com':
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
is in trouble again with Washington and Tel Aviv because he dared to equate
Zionism with fascism and anti-Semitism as an ideology or political movement
that has brought oppression. Erdogan was speaking at a United Nations sponsored
Alliance of Civilizations conference in Vienna dealing with instilling
tolerance. He spoke in Turkish, but his words as translated into English were,
"It is necessary that we must consider – just like Zionism or anti-Semitism
or fascism – Islamophobia is a crime against humanity." Erdogan was
immediately pounced upon by the usual suspects and new American Secretary of
State John Kerry was also quick to pull the trigger by saying, "We not
only disagree with it. We found it objectionable." He also stated that the
comments did not help the Israel-Palestine peace process. That there is no
peace process due to Israel’s unwillingness to countenance an actual
Palestinian state with genuine sovereignty is apparently irrelevant, but then
again it has been irrelevant to American policymakers ever since 1967, when the
Israelis first occupied the remaining land that they had not already taken in
the aftermath of the 1947 partition of Palestine. Read more
