Israel Matzav: Turks pelt Israeli ambassador with eggs

Turks pelt Israeli ambassador with eggs

Israel's ambassador to Turkey was pelted with eggs on Wednesday on a visit to a university in the Black Sea port of Trabzon. Ambassador Gabi Levy did not leave his car. 'Students' screamed "Israel is a murderer." On Thursday, dozens of Turkish students shouted the same chant as Levy visited the office of the Mayor of the town of Gumushane as Levy continued a tour of the Black Sea area.

But this is the part Israelis ought to hear.

Levy was already embarrassed Tuesday in nearby Rize, where local Mayor Halil Bakirci condemned Israel's "policies of expansion and occupation" and said that self-defense should not involve "killing children."

Referring to Israelis visiting Turkey's Black Sea region, he also told Levy that "due to Israel's policies, we are worried that something undesirable may happen to those tourists and we do our best so that it does not."

Anyone still want to visit Turkey? I didn't think so.

What could go wrong?
