ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday waded into the controversy over comments by Turkey’s prime minister equating Zionism to a crime against humanity, rebuking the leader of the NATO ally by saying such remarks complicate efforts to find peace in the Middle East.
Comments
West Bank settlement activity is objectionable, land theft is objectionable, killing Palestinians with American supplied implements of death is objectionable, Netanyahu is objectionable, Lukid is objectionable ...
Denying recognition of Armenian genocide is objectionable. Illegally occupying northern Cyprus is objectionable. Killing Kurds in Iraq is objectionable. Pretending to be a legitamite NATO ally but obstructing efforts to curb Iran is objectionable. Equating Zionism to racism or to crimes against humanity is morally corrupt, Islamist propaganda, and, yes, objectionable!
