Exactly, it is about politics and the ´issue´ is entirely politics.  In the cold war Soviet Strategistics talked about the "correlation of forces" which meant waging war by political means such as this.  

 Sorry for the somewhat redundant post, but the quote from the reference above makes the point magnificantly.

"Turkish leaders may wish to remember that the last time they irritated a prominent Jewish-American congressman, he retaliated by supporting congressional action on the Armenian Genocide. Cong. Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor and a staunch opponent of the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, surprised everyone in 2005 when he voted in favor of a congressional resolution on the Armenian Genocide in the House International Relations Committee. Lantos disclosed that he was backing the Armenian resolution in order to teach the Turks a lesson for not supporting the U.S. on the eve of the Iraqi War."

Oh, I don´t live in his district.  I never voted for him!

Turkey´s PM has received a hero´s welcome on his return to Istanbul

The video is not complete and it´s strange how they cut and softened his words.

RT Erdoðan to Peres:

"Your voice is very high. You are older than me, and I know that it´s because of your pyschology of guilt. My voice won´t be so high. Know this like that. Speaking of killing you know very well how to kill people.I know very well how you killed, how you shot children on the beaches. I remember two former prime ministers in your country who had said very important words to me. You have prime ministers who said "I felt myself somewhat happier" when they were able to enter Palestine on tanks. You have prime ministers who said "when I enter Palestine I become happy". And you´re giving me numbers. I can give you their name as well, maybe there´re people who wonder. I find it very sad that people applaud what you said.

And I also condemn people who have applauded this atrocity. I believe that applauding the ones who have killed children is not humanitarian. There have been many people killed."

 israil controlled his human emotions when bombing children with phosphorus bomb

Men exist with his own emotions

I am still not sure entirely it was the right thing to do from the foreign policies of Turkey..

Because Turkey was trying to play the role of mediator in the middle east as a country that is able to speak hamas, Israel, Iran, Syria..

The latest incident might be a bit harmful for this..
