In late July the Israeli embassy was stormed and occupied by several angry Turks who sought to make their frustration notices. Indeed it is often difficult to separate the muslim vs. jewish mentality from the State of Israel and Territory of Palestine discussion. It is hard to make sensible and objective conclusions about the situation when such discussion runs deep within religious and ethnic divides.
All of the Turkish friends who I have 'friended' on Facebook are completely against Israeli attacks in Gaza and often post very pro Israel posts. It is easy to understand where they are coming from, however, as they feel that Israeli land occupation and violence is unjustifiable but are frustrated that nothing has changed or progressed since the conflict began.
