This is a follow-up to our posts about Prisoner X.
Our resident reader from Down Under s_dog sent me this link to Andrew Bolt’s blog, An Israeli tragedy, an Australian silence:
I have been sounding the warning siren about Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for years.
His mask of moderation has been slipping steadily, if it ever was there.
He has engaged in repeated rants against Israel, and now he has gone the full distance reviving the vile and rebuked Zionism is Racism...
