    Yes, I agree. My problem with Mike remains not with his clear and outspoken support for Israel, but that he consistently sees the path towards pursuing that support thru a Turkish dominated lens, while ignoring the real world consequences of the fact, and it is a fact, that Turkey is, now more than ever, a major adversary to Israel – not an adversary based on political differences, but one based upon an Islamist ideology, specifically that of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has sought the obliteration of the Jews and the Jewish State well before there was a Jewish State to obliterate. This inexplicable distinction is one which I find conditioned on the replacement of a nuclear Iran with that of a conventional Turkey, which may be more acceptable to some within the US, but should be understood to be mutually exclusive to the survival of Israel, on which Mike routinely advocates on behalf. The obvious disparity in all of this is both toxic and worrisome. He has yet to be offered a role in Trump’s team, and though I expect that this will likely change, I couldn’t be happier if he were not offered a seat at the table of Trump’s advisors specifically and exclusively due to his role of selling Turkey as a stabilizing regional force, which it will never be.
