It has become a trend. Israeli terrorists kill Turkish civilians and the lousy Turkish government (which never impressed me even a year ago when there was such popular enthusiasm for Turkey which I regarded as misplaced) asks for a mere apology in order to restore the close relations with Israel. The apology never came of course. And Israeli terrorists kill Egyptian soldiers at a time of heightened Egyptian nationalism, and the Egyptian military council asks for a mere apology to restore the relationship of subservience with Israel, as ordered by the big master in Washington, DC. But when Arabs kill Israeli terrorists or clients of the US (like Rafiq Hariri), there is such an uproar around the world and UN Security Council resolutions and calls for international inquiries and the puppet prosecutor of the ICC receives orders from DC to act immediately. From now on, when Arabs commits acts of violence that Western governments don't like, they should resort to the Israeli stance: that they are willing to negotiate nothing more than the offer of an apology.
