Turkey is considering recalling its ambassador to Israel in the wake of an extremely rude reprimand given to him by Lieberman’s deputy, Danny Ayalon.
Ayalon clearly acted on orders from Lieberman, who also minced no words about Turkey’s behavior.
In the end, Ayalon had to apologize before the Turkish ambassador, though it was actually Turkey which started this round of crisis by launching an anti-Semitic TV show.
It takes a Soviet Union to conduct brutish, Soviet-style diplomacy.
Lack of diplomacy Ayalon demonstrates is the general tendency in Israel. But Jews adore going to extremes and may start showing too much respect in reference to this or that country. Jewish diplomacy Ayalon has laughed at is one among many other problems of Israelis nowadays.
That’s why Westerners in Iran should never get surprised. And neither those who are in the East in general.
