Enemy? Trade is booming between Israel and TurkeyReader comment on item: Futile Israeli Efforts to Win Ankara Back Submitted by Can Oz (United States), Feb 19, 2013 at 18:31 Follow the money, not the rhetoric.

I don't know which American pro-Israel interest groups you are thinking of but AIPAC for one has been quiet on the topic of Turkey. Reader comments (24) on this item
