Ottoman Dreams: Why Are Americans Surprised by Turkey’s Islamic Turn?
Interesting that you focus on Lieberman. I will not debate his views here, since they are complicated thought not nearly as right-wing as some claim. In Israel there is coalition politics. That is why there is Ehud Barak, with his Oslo legacy. You don’t seem to have a problem with Barak, who helped bring Israel to this pass by his appeasements of Arafat and his night flight from Lebanon. By focusing on Lieberman, you indicate (by omission) that you will only like an Israel that retreats.
Thus it makes sense that you ‘morally level’ between Israel and current, Erdogan Turkey, when this is grossly unfair.
