Turkish PM Walks Off During Davos Debate on Gaza

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan stormed off the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos after an argument with Israel’s president.
Mr Erdogan clashed with Shimon Peres in a discussion on the recent fighting in the Gaza Strip, telling him: “You are killing people.”
I watched the whole debate and was very surprised at the attitude of the Israeli President in defending the war, the non-acceptance of democratic vote, and how no Gazan had missed a meal in the 20+ day offense in Gaza. Sadly, the point of Israel doing everything in its power to hide the identities of the soldiers that fought in Gaza to protect them from war crimes tribunals.
Mr Peres had told the audience Israel was forced on to the offensive against Hamas by thousands of rockets and mortars fired into Israel.
More than 1,300 Palestinians and 14 Israelis were killed during the three-week conflict which began on 27 December.
Watch the whole 1 hour debate here:
this is the reason i agree to the suggestion of shifting the OIC to Venezuala and making Hugo Chavez its president.

I completely agree, but the problem is with the entire Muslim leadership. No Muslim country, except Iran, has had the guts to stare the Israelis in the eye and call them terrorists. With Egypt, Jordan and Saudi’s governments complicity in standing by quietly as other Muslims die, they are just as much to blame as the Israelis and the United States. We need to stop blaming everyone else for our problems and stand as one people only then will life in the Muslim world get better.
do our leaders have the courage even to stare in the eyes of the Israelis, i guess they will wet their pants even at the mere thought of it
