Turkey's Putrefied Fish.

"Turkey's Putrefied Fish.

By Raphael Israeli

An old Jewish story tells the tale of a Jew in Poland, who was threatened by his Gentile landlord that unless he ate a pound of rotten fish, he would be evicted from his land. He ended up both suffering the stench and revulsion of eating, and then of being deported from the land. What took place last week in Davos, when the Turkish Prime Minister coarsely attacked the Israeli President , hurling at him :”you have murdered children” !, was not only a disproportionate eruption of hatred and arrogance, but it may also augur ill for the future relations between the two countries."
