they seem to want to focus on the greeks, which is interesting.
i have written widely about the liberation of constantinople being the end of a historical process, as turkey is a fake country full of illegal immigrants and they will eventually be deported back to asia. i've long assumed the russians will be the ones to correct this historical injustice, and there's good reasons for that.
however, in a very real sense, israel has become the new byzantium, particularly in terms of technological unevenness. if you want to get a grasp on what the byzantines were actually like in comparison to the much less advanced and barbarous arab groups in the region, the difference in technology between israel and the other countries in the region is a good demonstration.
i think the israelis are probably more interested in building an airfield on cyprus, for now, which is currently partly under brutal turkish occupation. that would be tremendously advantageous, especially considering that the iranians have broadcast they consider it a part of historical iran (which is nonsense. cyprus is heavily linked to lebanon, and the regions are deeply carthaginian/jewish).
it's become clear enough that the israelis need a turkish containment policy; that's something to keep an eye on.
