He was just a little more covert about his Muslim Brotherhood leanings than his former "political" mentors.<br /><br />Latest news in Jpost is that Erdogan is saying no deal with Israel unless the "seige" is lifted from his friends in Gaza.<br /><br />http://www.jpost.com/Diplomacy-and-Politics/Erdogan-to-Israel-Lift-Gaza-siege-or-no-reconciliation-341170<br /><br />I guess we'll wait and see when and what Nitsana Darshan-Leitner (daughter of refugees from Iran) and Shurat HaDin does to extract some justice from Erdogan for his terror links.<br /><br />http://www.thetower.org/article/the-woman-who-makes-the-jihadis-squirm/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-37987635080492703912014-02-12T10:28:44.521+00:002014-02-12T10:28:44.521+00:00I'll add to give credit where credit is due th...I'll add to give credit where credit is due that it started while Rav Amar was in Colombia in support of the community when he met there with the Spanish ambassador who was not Jewish but very knowledgeable and very sympathetic to the Sephardim. And it went from there.
