Don’t ever forget that Turkey was the first Muslim country in 1950 that recognized the entity that had committed so many horrific crimes against the indigenous population of Palestine in 1948. So many Muslim countries have recognized the European Jews in Palestine as having a legitimate country and yet it was never legitimate because the land was stolen. The only reason that the Muslim countries would even bother to recognize this entity is not for the sake of the entity itself but because America is demanding that of them – and that and only that is the reason.
