What is this? The Isreal bash Turkey thread?

  Whenever two factions within a Muslim state clash, one or both will eventually accuse the other of being Israeli stooges. The same charge is also commonly levelled at any external criticism of a Muslim state or faction. It's the Muslim world's equivalent of Godwin's Law.

    I have to wonder how effective that accusation is. It's so commonplace... like accusing someone of racism in the US.

    To be fair, someone did post a link to ynetnews, an Israeli news website which appears to have a rather pro-Israeli-government slant with all that entails. (It was quite entertaining when Turkey got a new government that was no longer friendly to Israel and suddenly all the Israeli politicians and news websites went from pretending the Armenian genocide didn't exist to making a big fuss about it.)

  God forbid there be any Israelis on Hacker News.
