Turkey Unmasked

Turkey,  Gaza,  Flotilla,  Islamists, Israel, Kurds, Armenia, Disney, pinocchio : Dry Bones cartoon.
About Turkish occupation of Armenian lands there's this current news item:

Armenians Press For Court Ruling Against Turkey in US

September 11, 2011

"US Armenians, pressing for a court decision against Turkey for violating the property rights of Ottoman Armenians during World War I, have complained that the Turkish government has ignored a lawsuit brought against Turkey in a Los Angeles court.

Plaintiffs argue that Turkey seized land belonging to their relatives when its owners fled Anatolia during what Armenians call a genocide campaign. The land in the southern province of Adana, which is now occupied by the İncirlik Air Base used by the US military, was then sold without the permission of the Armenian owners, according to the lawyers of the plaintiffs. The complaints target Turkey and two Turkish banks, the Central Bank of Turkey and Ziraat Bank.

Turkey had 60 day to answer the complaint, which expired on Aug. 19, 2011, but it has so far refused to answer. Lawyers for the plaintiffs announced that on Sept. 6 the Turkish government is in default for ignoring the lawsuit.

The default notice was entered on Sept. 1, 2011." -more

And the recent news about Turkey's disproportionate bombing response to Kurdish Freedom Fighters as reported by the BBC:

Turkey reports heavy PKK losses after week of bombing

Aug 23, 2011

"The Turkish army says it has killed up to 100 Kurdish rebels in a week of air and artillery strikes on suspected PKK bases in northern Iraq.

A statement on the army website said that, according to its estimates, between 90 and 100 were killed and more than 80 wounded.

The PKK has confirmed three deaths, while local reports say a family of seven were killed by the bombing.

Turkey began the strikes after deadly PKK attacks on its soldiers."-more

Why compare us tp a puppet? Who is oulling our strings?
You could have done better: Turkey has stated time and again that their argument is with Netanyahu and not with our country and certainly not with Jews.
Tread lightly. Turkey is a friend of Israel and a friend to Jews.
Like most of the world - they are no friend of Netanyahu, which is a completely different issue than what you tried to show in your (often excellent) cartoon.

Simon, I believe that Yaakov's cartoon has Israel as Pinochio after he became stringless.
I also believe that this cartoon recognizes the truth which has Islamic Turkey guilty of events that happened long before Netanyahu.
Be careful of what you say, your nose may begin to grow.
It is quite clear that the present Turkish government is creating the history it wants because of a policy and not because of Israel or Netanyahu or the Jews.
Many if not most Israelis believe that we have tread too lightly.

Shouldn't really have to say sorry to Walt Disney, considering his thoughts about the Jews!

Thanks, although the Assyrians and Chaldeans also suffered genocide in Turkey too.

Great Cartoon!!!
Arduan is power-hungry and thinks he can gain control over the entire Middle-East by kicking the Jews ass and getting the messed-up Arabs to kiss his ass.

Anonymous: You may want to read the Wikipedia section about Disney and antisemitism.

Although Disney was long accused of being an anti-semite, this appears to be a nasty case of guilt by association.
