You see, Israel is supposed to feel bad that it stopped the breaking down of its borders by enemies seeking to destroy it

The Jerusalem Post reports:

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday it was “unthinkable” to normalize ties with Israel unless the Jewish state apologized for the killing of nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists aboard a Turkish ship bound for Gaza last year. Erdogan also said … that lifting an Israeli blockade on the Palestinian territory of Gaza and paying compensation to the victims of the raid were also conditions for the normalization of relations.

Let’s go to Bob Dylan’s great song about Israel, “Neighborhood Bully”:

When he knocked down a lynch mob, he was criticized.
Old women condemned him, said he should apologize.
When he destroyed the bomb factory, nobody was glad.
The bombs were meant for him, he was supposed to feel bad.
He’s the Neighborhood Bully.
