Foreign policy portfolio Turkey

Cheap groveling before the Turkish government definitely not understandable to me.
Are comparisons to Nazis, murderers, kidnappers and other babies of the same fruit imagination Turkey "pure" and "enlightened" not enough to provide a big hint?
More in the first incident that caused the "explosion" of relations between Turkey and Israel in semi formal (after all, Erdogan's antisemitism and his cronies began at the beginning of his tenure), when Turkish soldiers compared the Nazis with a heart of ice (the scene of an IDF soldier shoots child little after that I begged him to spare her life in the world definitely excited, but not us), were quick to "freedom fighters", Defense Minister Ehud Barak and good friend, Fuad Ben - Eliezer, make a small trip to Turkey in order to thaw the relationship.
And here exactly lies the problem - to why the thaw? Why do we, the Israelis, sorry - "Nazis", to fly to Turkey and try to reach an agreement? Why all this groveling our familiar?
This is not understood clearly.
It's time to sort out the foreign policy of the State of Israel - believe it or not = Turkey "plays into our hands." Turkey is the one that gives us the opportunity to strengthen our deterrent force in the world. Instead leverage this opportunity and show the country strong, not afraid to speak, protecting the good name of its soldiers (moral army in the world, no doubt at all) and maintains its own interests - we received a slap in the face follow - our defense minister, we are.
Lieberman can not alone, that's for sure. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helps a little, most diplomatic way possible, but it is not enough.

And this week, again a series of "quality" time gives the Turkish nickname "baby snatchers" Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad.
But this time - Israel "Not quiet on our laurels."
It was deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon, who called the Turkish ambassador in immediately in Israel, Ahmet Oguz Celikkol, his office and slammed him hard things.
Not only! Deputy Foreign Minister Ayalon, deliberately sat on a chair, the Turkish ambassador low compared to his opposite each other.
If there is something humiliating the Muslim nation, then this is in relation to height. Islam, for him, always commanded his subjects to sit as high as possible, of all people. The biggest humiliation could absorb Turkey, arrived yesterday straight from the office of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Action itself is as good. Even great. This is exactly what the people of Israel want to feel - superior strength. Especially the hostile state makes comparing extreme levels that can not be described.

But the fly in the ointment.
Although the action was essential message was that in the most correct, but the deputy minister made one critical mistake and - thank the public, publicly, for his actions.
It's one thing to perform the operation clearly implying that the way the situation itself and something else entirely - to translate the move.
I do not think that anyone who did not understand the magnitude of these strategic move, I doubt.
Those journalists who came to the meeting, asked the two to shake hands, and Ayalon refused - first mistake.
"The main thing is to show that he was sitting high and that low and we are here only one flag, and you see we're not smiling," hissed the deputy minister in Hebrew, in front of cameras and microphones - a second mistake.

Well, we're on the right path if we continue like this. Right way to restore the deterrent power of the State of Israel and show the world that "rag doll" in the past, has become a dangerous Lrobotrick Furious.
Israel not used to make strategic moves of attack, so there will be mistakes along the way, just as the deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon. But the line of thought, is - is the line that no doubt help us in the future.
