Erdogan: You Are A Terrorist, Netanyahu: You Are A Butcher
[JPOST] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
's President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
on Sunday after a war of words over Israel's actions on the Gazoo border, saying the Ottoman Turkish leader is in no position to be teaching Israel about morality.

"Erdogan is not used to being talked back to. He should start getting accustomed to it. Whoever occupies North Cyprus, invades the Kurdish belt and butchers civilians in Afrin should not preach to us about values and morality," said Netanyahu.

Earlier on Sunday, Netanyahu issued a sharp response to his Ottoman Turkish counterpart's comments, saying his description of the IDF as "inhumane" must be the way they celebrate April Fool's Day in Turkey.

"The most moral army in the world," Netanyahu said of the IDF, "will not be preached to from someone who for years has indiscriminately bombed civilian populations. Apparently this is the way they mark April Fool's Day in Ankara."

Erdogan, who has turned strident anti-Israel comments into one of the trademarks of his rule, replied on Sunday by calling Israel a "terrorist state and occupier," and Netanyahu a "terrorist."

According to Turkey's Daily Sabah, Erdogan ‐ speaking at a meeting of his ruling Justice and Development Party in the southern Adana province -- said, "I do not need to tell the world how cruel the Israeli army is. We can see what this terror state is doing by looking at the situation in Gazoo and Jerusalem."

Israel, he said, "has carried out a massacre in Gazoo, and Netanyahu is a terrorist."

Netanyahu's "April Fool's" remark was triggered by remarks Erdogan made on Saturday, during a speech in Istanbul.

"I strongly condemn the Israeli government over its inhumane attack," Erdogan said of Friday’s incidents along the Gazoo border. "Have you heard any noteworthy objections to the massacre by Israel that happened yesterday in Gazoo from those who criticize the Afrin operation? This is the biggest proof of insincerity of those who fixate on us but say nothing about Israel using heavy weapons to attack people who are protesting on their own lands."
