All blue skies and rainbows over right-wing Israel... listening to some Israelis on this board.

Of course! It's better, than listening to to the crazed drivel of that eshek Hitleroglu, who went even crazier, threatening Armenia recently. What an ottomaniacal dumbass!

The Egyptian government was paid by the US to side with Israel. The people, however, have always supported the Palestinians.

So, they won't miss the Camp David payment, I guess.

Arab Spring ricochets at Israel...

Israel: Egypt Embassy Attack Is 'Blow' to Ties
September 10, 2011 - A senior Israeli official on Saturday denounced an overnight attack on his country's embassy in Cairo as a "blow to peaceful relations" between the two Mideast neighbors, adding to already growing tensions between the two nations six months after the ouster of Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, Israel's closest Arab ally.

Egypt put its police force on a state of alert after the overnight violence during which angry protesters broke into the Israeli Embassy in Cairo, tearing down a cement barrier around the high-rise building and trapping six staff members inside. The protesters dumped Hebrew language documents out of the embassy's windows. The rampage, in which hundreds were injured, further worsened already deteriorating ties between Israel and post-Mubarak Egypt. The Israeli ambassador, his family and most of the staff and their dependents — some 80 people — were evacuated out of the country by military aircraft overnight, the Israeli official said.

Only the deputy ambassador was still in Egypt, added the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject. "That the government of Egypt ultimately acted to rescue our people is noteworthy and we are thankful," the official said. "But what happened is a blow to the peaceful relations, and of course, a grave violation of accepted diplomatic behavior between sovereign states." Outside the Nile-side Israeli embassy in Cairo's neighborhood of Giza, thousands of protesters battled riot police and army troops into the early morning hours, hurling rocks at them. The police and army troops responded with tear and firing live ammunition into the air to try and disperse the crowd.

Several cars, police vehicles and trees on the streets outside the embassy were set ablaze. The violence subsided by around 6 a.m. The state MENA news agency said 837 people were injured in the overnight clashes, including at least 46 policemen, while 19 protesters were arrested. Earlier on Friday, hundreds of protesters tore down the embassy's security wall with sledgehammers and their bare hands. After nightfall about 30 protesters stormed into the embassy. Just before midnight, the mob reached a room on one of the embassy's lower floors at the top of the building and began dumping Hebrew-language documents from the windows, said an Egyptian security official.

In Jerusalem, an Israeli official said the protesters reached a waiting room on the lower floor. Israel's ambassador, Yitzhak Levanon, his family and other embassy staff were rushed to Cairo airport and left on a military plane for Israel, said Egyptian airport officials. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information or speak to the media. Since the February fall of Mubarak — who worked closely with the Israelis in his 29 years in power — ties have steadily worsened between the two countries.

Turkey is not officially part of the EU but is supported by the US in it's quest. Turkey is part of the Afghanistan war coalition and is part of NATO.

It's also being courted by the US to allow a missile defense system on it's soil.

Didn't Turkey refuse the US Led coalition forces access to Iraq through their country in the 2nd Gulf War?

Turkey is a major player in this region, has the support of the US but not all of the EU. It seems to be able to act independently in what it perceives as it's interest, but not always in harmony with US aims.

At the moment Israel is not number one on Turkey's hit parade. It seems the cause of the PAL's is definitely stressing/fracturing past stable, not necessarily friendly, relations between nations.

Whatever falls out of this Arab Spring will be historic and a good chance of being more bloody. All of the pieces are still in play, including Syria even though it may change leadership, it's stance will still be against Israel (Golan Heights is still an issue as is HAMAS and Iran ties).

This will keep the lights on in many of the world's Capitals.

Israel Reacts Strongly to Cairo Embassy Attack
September 10, 2011 - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the attack on the Israeli embassy in Cairo.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the attack on the Cairo Embassy a blatant violation of international norms that severely harms peaceful relations with Israel. However, his aides say he also thanked Egypt for its commandos' rescue of six Israelis trapped inside the embassy during the attack. Netanyahu has expressed relief that no Israelis were killed and that two Israeli air force planes brought the ambassador and about 80 embassy staff and families members safely back to Israel.

The incident reinforces one of Israel's deepest fears since the Egyptian Revolution: that anti-Israel sentiment would spill onto the streets and harm the 32-year-old peace treaty between the two countries. Relations took a turn for the worse last month following a deadly border clash that sparked outrage in Egypt. Israeli troops killed five Egyptian policemen while pursuing Palestinian gunmen who crossed into Israel from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and killed eight Israelis.

Zvi Mazel, a former Israeli ambassador to Egypt, says the Egyptian mood had turned anti-Israeli before the border incident. Mazel told Israel Radio the only thing that has united the fractious political groups and parties in Egypt since the revolution is hostility toward Israel. He said factions are vying for power, security has collapsed, and Israel is a "scapegoat" for the "anarchy" that is sweeping Egypt.

Israel sees the peace treaty as a strategic asset, but in the wake of the embassy attack, concern is growing about what will happen after the Egyptian elections. Israeli officials fear that if the radical Muslim Brotherhood makes a strong showing in the vote, Egypt will annul the two countries' peace agreement.

Egypt Announces Emergency Measures Following Embassy Attack
September 10, 2011 - Egypt has announced emergency measures to restore order following a mob attack on the Israeli Embassy in the Cairo suburb of Giza Friday night. Protesters had spent much of the day tearing down a protective wall, before finally breaking through Egyptian Army lines.

Information Minister Osama Hassan Heikal said Saturday that legal measures were being taken to transfer suspects detained for Friday's violence to an emergency state security court. Earlier, the state-run MENA news agency said military police had arrested 19 people for their alleged roles in the attack. Tensions had been mounting throughout the day Friday after a rowdy crowd of mostly young people began hammering away at a wall in front of the building, tearing most of it down. Security forces tried to push back the crowd by firing teargas, but were slowly overwhelmed allowing protesters to enter the mostly residential building that houses the Israeli Embassy on the 17th and 18th floors. The Egyptian government says at least three people were killed in the melee and more than 1,000 were wounded. Several people were arrested. Security forces are on high alert.

One middle-aged Egyptian man complained to al-Hurra television that the security forces in front of the embassy should not have intervened to protect it, because it is the people's will to tear down the wall in front of the building. He says it was a supreme display of the will of the Egyptian people, who demanded that the wall protecting the embassy come down, and they brought it down. He says Egypt's ruling military council must respect the demands of the people, because they are governing in the name of the people.

Veteran Egyptian editor and publisher Hisham Kassem says an overwhelming majority of Egyptians were horrified by the violence at the Israeli Embassy. "About 95 percent of the Egyptians are disgusted at the attack on the embassy and any other violence that took place," he said. "Even commentators who appeared on channels like Jazeera ... who normally have a very anti-Israeli position, were saying, 'This is wrong. We can't attack an embassy.'"

Kassem worries, however, that Egypt's ruling military council may use the attack on the embassy as a pretext to use force in the coming months to deal with other protests and other incidents of violence. "Once the United States says that you can't use force against demonstrators, the answer could be, 'Excuse me, do you mean we can use force to defend the Israeli Embassy, but not the rest of the country?'" he said. U.S. President Barack Obama had urged Egypt on Friday to intervene to protect the Israeli Embassy. Egyptian sources say the army commandos stormed the embassy building to rescue Israeli diplomats, who were flown to Israel.

Americans ramsacked my neighbors house a few weeks ago.
Who do I need to declare war on?

You really should engage your brain before you post. An embassy is considered the national soil of the nation it represents. Therefore, attacking an embassy is a direct attack on that country - ergo, an act of war.

That's actually nothing like someone ransacking (not ramsacking), your neighbor's house at all.

Moron.

We did not declare war on Iran when they took over our embassy and took the staff as hostages.

No we didn't. But, according to International Law, we were absolutely entitled to. You may not like it, but it is International Law. Your opinion - my opinion - both meaningless. It is about the law. Simple concept that may be incomprehensible to you, given your limited IQ.

So... What are their reasons? Masses don't *just* become enraged and destructive. There's obviously more that isn't being mentioned.

Since when have muslims required anything but the slightest of excuses to go on the rampage against infidels? Let's face it, a cartoon will cause murder and mayhem!

Why is it being a 'bitch' to point out that international law is more relevant than opinion? Clearly, you struggle on an intellectual level, otherwise you wouldn't have responded as you did.

Speaking of international law, how about: It is inadmissible to acquire land through the threat or use of force?
