Erdogan of Turkey Attacks Israeli Nukes

Here is the difference between Israeli nukes and Iranian nukes: no Arab country has ever made a big deal about Israeli nukes until now because they understood Israel's purpose for the Bomb -- as a final point of defense against Arab onslaught, not as a tool with which to terrorize its neighbors into submission, and therefore it was not worth their political embarrassment to raise publicly (the Arab street -- "Then why don't WE have nukes"). Ask the Saudis or the Egyptians how much they fear an Israeli nuke vs an Iranian one. Erdogan is simply an evil Turk trying to reestablish Turkey's Middle Eastern empire by moving the Turks towards lowest common denominator common cause with the Arab street. The best thing the entire civilized world can do with him is to show him the respect he deserves -- none.
By the way -- why don't I hear anything from Erdogan about proven Pakistani nuclear proliferation to terrorists, or Indian nuclear weapons? Answer: the traditional anti-Israel double standard.
Whether the US administration vigorously protects Israel from these evil attacks will be a litmus test of the US administration's intent to throw Israel under a bus and tie Israeli disarmament to Iran's. This would be an elegant way to explain away Obama's diplomatic failure at stopping the Iranian nuclear effort -- blame it on the intransigent Jews.
