And Turkey's relationship with Israel is explained how?

Look, I hear what you're saying, and on a very basic level I understand and agree, but I hold out hope that some folks there see the need to move on. Maybe I'm naive, I could be. Still, a chance for those who wish at least coexistence to emerge is better than just assuming that everyone whose parents raised them Moslem sees the extermination of Jews as their role in life is worth exploring. JMHO. Thanks.

There's not a single organization I'm aware of claiming to represent a significant portion of the palestinian population that has as it's objective anything other than the destruction of Israel. Actually, I don't think there are any, but who knows, maybe twenty guys in an internet cafe in Gaza have a different public view. Could they emerge, sure. 1967 was 37 years ago, they haven't emerged yet, even with significant US pressure. In fact, the arab world hasn't been moved an inch in letting Israel exist. It's time for a unilateral solution. When the peaceful palestinians emerge, they'll still have someone to talk to.

Turkey's not an Arab nation,that connection is gone. Fundamentalists, a problem Turkey had learned to deal with, harshly. Could things change in Gaza, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, et al. Sure, a couple of generations after the take "kill the Jews, monkeys and pigs" off TV and out of their textbooks, and that doesn't appear to be happening soon.
