Supporting America's enemy

Israel’s Charge’ d’Affairs for Turkey, Roey Gilad, wrote a piece in Turkish media on Thursday that argues that Israel and Turkey have common interests.

With all due respect to Israel, we do not share enemies in the situation.  Jared's meaningless dribble does not count, we are still fighting Sunni terrorism from Saudi Arabia.

Trump has managed to put us in a precarious position.  Jared's nonsense is not real American policy.

Al-Jazirah:

ERDOGAN IS BLACKMAILING THE SYRIAN FACTIONSAl-Jazirah, Saudi Arabia, May 14I know that the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the dirtiest political movements of the modern era, using whatever means necessary to achieve its political goals, regardless of what is permissible and moral. However, even I did not imagine the extent to which it would be willing to go. Specifically, I’m referring to blackmailing and forcing militant factions to abide by the Brotherhood’s rule.

It goes without saying that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a Brotherhood member through and through. Erdogan is working to achieve his Ottoman ambitions by restoring Turkey’s influence in Libya, with the hope of ultimately establishing a foothold in both Egypt and Algeria. At the same time, he knows that deploying Turkish troops to North Africa and incurring human losses will cause a political upheaval at home, which may threaten his regime. Therefore, he found an innovative way to pursue his ambition: recruit terrorist factions operating in Syria that have allied with Turkey in the battle over the country, and divert them to the Libyan battlefield. With the help of his intelligence services, Erdogan launched a blackmail campaign against leaders of these factions. He threatened that unless they carry out his wishes, he will personally ensure their demise.

Not Al Queda, but Al Qeada was an off shoot in Saudi Arabia and still are allied.  Hillary tried being friends with the group, didn't work out obviously.
