| Turkey PM urges US to engage in 'self-criticism' over Gaza |
| 2014-07-21 |
| [DAWN] Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi only they haven't dumped him yet... on Sunday called on its NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... ally the United States to engage in "self-criticism" after it labelled his comments on Israel's Gazoo assault "offensive". "If America still says 'Israel is using its right to self-defence' it is America that needs to engage in self-criticism," Erdogan told the TGRT news channel. A staunch advocate of the Paleostinian cause, Erdogan has stepped up his criticism of Israel's operation in the besieged Gazoo Strip, accusing the Jewish state of carrying out "state terrorism ... any action taken by a non-Moslem state that constrains the violent impulses of Moslems or their allies ... " and a "genocide" of Paleostinians. On Friday, US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki branded Erdogan's comments "offensive and wrong". "When there are concerns we have about comments made or actions taken, even when it is a NATO ally, we certainly don't hesitate to make those concerns known," she said. Erdogan said Sunday he was sticking to his comments, accusing Israel of using "disproportionate force" and killing Paleostinians "mercilessly. " "How can we ignore this? How can a country like the United States turn a blind eye to this?" he asked. "As a member of the UN Security Council, it needs to act fairly. "More than 60 Paleostinians were killed Sunday as Israeli forces pounded northern Gazoo, taking the toll from the deadliest assault on the enclave in five years to over 400. |

| #6 Erdogan reciting from the Obama playbook. Effective 'self-criticism' must first begin with a international apology tour. A denial of 'American Exceptionalism' and 'leading from behind' must soon follow. |

| #4 #1worthless mooslim wanker. I'm going steal that line Boeseker. It is like f&ck, it applies in so many situations. I'll engage in self-criticism as soon as pigs fly or mooslims stop spreading their filth of murder, lying and supremacy. There are too many on the left in the U.S. who already engage in self-loathing. Self-loathing or self-criticism sounds so "communist." |

| #3 If by "self-criticism" you mean asking ourselves why we would give that nest of vipers in Gaza even a nanocent, I'd say he has a point. |

| #2 After you, Erdogan - the world has been waiting for almost a century for Turkish "self-criticism" over Armenian genocide (1915-1917)... |
