You have to hand it to Turkey's Islamist leaders. They sure know how to get their way. In the seven years since they first took power, the Islamist AKP party has successfully transformed Turkey from a staunch ally of the US and Israel and a member of NATO into a staunch ally of Iran and a member of NATO.
And that's not all. Turkey's Islamist leaders have used the Western language of democracy and freedom not only to abandon the West. They have used that language to destroy the foundations of Turkey's Western-style secular democracy and transform the governing system of NATO's sole Muslim member into a hybrid of Putinist autocracy and Iranian theocracy.
On September 12, the AKP took an enormous step toward consolidating its achievements and expanding its power. The Islamist regime won a national plebiscite on constitutional amendments that remove the remaining obstacles to its absolute power.
This week's Tribal Update, the television-on-internet satire program produced by Latma, the Hebrew language media satire website I edit, centers on Yom Kippur that begins tonight. Many of our regular contributors ask for forgiveness for their sins. This includes our media icon Flock Builder who asks for forgiveness from what is about to happen if Israel goes ahead with the phony peace process the media so supports.
We also feature Yariv Googleheimer from Peace Now who presents Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jung Il and Osama Bin Laden's words of peace for the Jewish people.
Here's the whole episode.
