Not Mata
Hari
Regarding “Turkey
allows visit by consul to jailed Israeli couple” (November 16), this whole
incident is just too much. For heaven’s sake, if Israel can assassinate Mohsen
Fakhrizadeh using a computerized machine gun, bring from Iran half a ton of
nuclear files, disrupt the centrifuges through Stuxnet, then surely it does not
need to photograph Erdogan’s palace from a TV tower.
We do not
live in the times of Mata Hari and invisible ink, not even in the times of
Richard Sorge or Eli Cohen, so what the Israeli media should have done is
demonstrate how absurd the Turkish claims are.
It is also
high time that Israelis become more conscious of the character of the countries
they go on vacation to. Why pick one ruled by an Islamic fundamentalist with a
very antagonistic attitude toward Israel when they can choose from a number of
Mediterranean democracies? Appeasing dictators is never a good policy and that
applies not only to governments but to their citizens too.

And here are
the Mediterranean
democracies Israelis could pick to go on vacation
to instead of Turkey. Note that it applies only to The Republic of Cyprus and no the Turkish Republic of Northern
Cyprus
