1492 is remembered in the West for Christopher Columbus landing in the New World and claiming it for the Spanish Empire. In the Middle East, 1492 is remembered for the Turkish Ottoman Empire taking in 150,000 Sephardic Jews being persecuted by the Spanish Inquisition. In the Ottoman Empire and then Turkiye, they spoke "Ladino" at home and in the synagogues.

In the post-WII era, the Turkish and Israeli intelligence agencies cooperated at unparalleled levels along with the US.

After the rise of the Likud Party, Benjamin Netanyahu's blatant rubbishing of the Two-state solution, and the ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank, this core intelligence relationship has been Humpty-Dumptied.

In the US, headlines would report an Israeli hostage was freed (Yippee!); in Europe or the Middle East the headlines would report "another 20 Palestinians killed by the IDF."

Therefore European, Middle Eastern, and African animosity for Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli brutality is much stronger there than in the US, as witnessed by the massive labor actions in Italy and Greece, the food flotillas for Gaza, and the efforts to ban Israel from FIFA and Eurovision.

The despicable Benjamin Netanyahu has turned Israel into a Pariah nation and Rogue state, increased antisemitism globally, while inexplicably being applauded by sections of the American population.

Netanyahu Humpty-Dumptied Turco-Israeli relations possibly forever.
