Should Israel Commemorate Turkish Airmen?
The Monument to the Turkish airmen located near Kibbutz Haon in the Jordan Valley.
The white slab near the base of the monument:
The planned route of the Turkish airmen. They took off from Istanbul, flew to Beirut and Damascus, but then crashed at Haon, and never made it to Jerusalem, Cairo and Alexandria.
Two days ago, a ceremony was held in the Jordan Valley commemorating the memory of a Turkish pilot and his navigator who were killed when their plane crashed there in bad weather in February 1914. The ceremony took place at near Kibbutz Haon where a monument to the pilots was built.
Eventually the two Turks were buried in Damascus at the Great Mosque at the foot of Saladin’s mausoleum. They were hailed as heroes in Turkey where a city in southwestern Turkey was renamed with the name of the pilot and poems, stamps, and even a movie regale the airmen’s exploits.
Attending the ceremony yesterday were Kamal Okam, Turkey’s Ambassador to Israel, and a representative of Turkey’s military attache—both of whom spend most of their time trashing Israel and talking about a Muslim takeover of Jerusalem.
Your humble servant cannot understand why this celebration takes place. Granted the pilots were brave to fly their wood and fabric plane on a 13-leg journey of almost 1700 miles; however, theirs was a journey to restore the glory of the Muslim Ottoman Empire.
Which is precisely what radical Islamist Turkish PM Taycip Erdogan is attempting to do today. And precisely why the Turks were at Kibbutz Haon two days ago.
Should Israel promote this commemoration?
I leave it for you, dear reader, to decide.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
