Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday told Russian President Vladimir Putin the international community should “give Israel a strong and deterrent lesson” as punishment for responding so strongly to deadly Palestinian terror rocket attacks.
AP reports the Turkish Presidential Communications Directorate said the two leaders talked by phone about the escalating conflict with Erdogan calling for an international strike back against Israel.
The statement said Erdogan stressed the need for “the international community to give Israel a strong and deterrent lesson” and pressed for the United Nations Security Council to rapidly intervene with “determined and clear messages” to Israel.
The statement said Erdogan suggested to Putin that an international protection force to “shield the Palestinians” should be considered even as Israel itself was being battered by Hamas rocket fire.
Meanwhile, thousands of people in Istanbul defied a nationwide coronavirus curfew late Tuesday to demonstrate against Israel’s response to the random rocket attacks.
A large convoy of cars drove toward the Israeli Consulate, waving Turkish and Palestinian flags. An image of the Palestinian and Turkish flags was projected onto the Israeli building.

Wait, let me get this straight. Israel is attacked with rockets, responds to these attacks. Then is condemned for a strong response and must be taught a lesson for such a strong response. I think whoever came up with this rationale might need a lesson.
Yeah right. Iran got W to take on Saddam. This outcome would be different.
More importantly why is Turkey still a member of NATO.
Yes.
Muslims are passive aggressive little bitches.
Just like Democrats, BLM, etc.
You have to keep in mind that Muslims and the left view Israel as an unjust, occupying force. Therefore this condemnation of the Israeli response to the Hamas rocket barrage is like a condemnation of the Nazi response to the Warsaw uprising. It’s not a peaceful people retaliating in response to a violent attack, it’s an extension of the repression of an apartheid state against freedom fighters.
Basically, in their view, Jews have no right to exist and everything they do is a crime.
Exactly
Good question.
Get the remnants of the Ottoman Empire out of NATO now. They are not partners in peace. They are the enemy.
........the last reported NET worth of Putin was 65 billion. He’s too smart to take on Israel and rock his own boat as Israel would surely do.
As he denies the Armeian genocide, occupies neighboring territory -- including Kurdistan -- and intervenes in Africa? What a maggot.
But we are too Turkey to do it ourselves:-)
It would seem to me that Erdogan put himself a little higher on the Mossad “interest” list.
Public communication between politicans is mostly theatrics to appease bases. They likely talk in private beforehand, “Hey, I’ve got to toss some red meat out to the savages. Just ignore it.” RINOs do this all the time with Demoncats.
