Israel Not Doing Anything The US Has Not Already Done

The failure to see the metamorphosis of the Turkish leadership after decades of vacillation between the western influences and the rudimentary Middle Eastern ties to its Islamist base is going to be proximal to the missed message of how the war in the Middle East moved to its more virulent mode of the assured upcoming attack against Israel. Israel's overtures to the Turkish for a potential hedge to the overflow of Iranian backed Syrian hostilities will not ameliorate the underlying tensions that will lead to the entreaty of international intervention to contain the supposed dangers of Israel's 'Zionist' oppression of the region.

If this is not the epitome of futility, then what is?
