What is it that they say about stones…
Turkey’s prime minister on Friday said Israel should be barred from the United Nations while it ignores the body’s calls to stop fighting in Gaza. “How is such a country, which does not implement resolutions of the UN Security Council, allowed to enter through the gates of the UN (headquarters)?” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. Erdogan spoke before UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon arrives in Ankara to discuss the conflict. His comments reflected a growing anger in Turkey, Israel’s best friend in the Muslim world, over Israel’s Gaza operation. Erdogan accused Israel of attacking civilians under the pretext of targeting Islamic militant group of Hamas.
… and glass houses:
Turkey’s military says its troops killed 696 Kurdish rebels in clashes in 2008. Military spokesman Brig. Gen. Metin Gurak says another 237 rebels were captured and 177 surrendered. Gurak said Friday that 171 security personnel including soldiers, police and government-paid village guards, were killed fighting the rebels.
In fairness to Erdogan the UN hasn’t passed any resolutions condemning Turkey’s war onthe Kurds, a stateless minority just like the vaunted Palestinian people. Convenient, that.
