Washington – The White House is strongly condemning the Turkish prime minister’s accusation that Israel was behind the ouster of Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest says that suggestion is offensive, unsubstantiated and wrong. He says such statements only distract from the need for all countries in the region to work together constructively.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan (REH’-jehp TY’-ihp UR’-doh-wahn) made the claim in a nationally-televised speech. His only evidence was a statement by a Jewish French intellectual during a meeting with an Israeli official.
Erdogan also took a swipe at Muslim nations, accusing them of betraying Egypt by supporting the country’s military-backed new leaders.
This Turkish Turk has gone from a fool to a nebech case, how sad, for his country!
They should stop playing the word game with him and all him a Jew hater.
This erdogan is mentally very very disturbed,i hope he starts mental treatment soon.
Erdogan – what a loser.
The Turkish Prime Minister is not letting up the tirade; now it’s Morsi’s downfall being blamed on Israel. Ahmadinejad is history, but Erdogan is ensuring his legacy. The beloved leader of Turkey who has no opposition besides for the “diaspora” evidently decided that getting along with Israel is just not worth it.
This racist dictator is hastening his own downfall..!
time to have this turkey cooked….may he burn in hell !!!!!!
How about the massacre of the arminians? whose fault was that? If anything turkey has a history of violence and there is room to say that they are behind all of the trouble in egypt
There needs to be a boycott of Jewish travel and business w Turkey. And plans for an airlift of Jews out of that country.
The chidush is not Turkey’s anti-Israel stance in recent years; the real chidush is the fact that they were ever allied with Israel in the first place!
