All of this goes far beyond the danger to Israel.
This is about the loss of Turkey as a moderating force in the middle east.
Erdogan has swung out of the western sphere and fully into the arms of Iran and the Islamist view.
That a NATO nation is now leading the charge for terrorists and against Israel is a disaster for any emerging democracy in the middle east as well as the only existing one, Israel.

You might want to study your history a bit, the military has overthrown the government there three times already and threatened the government back into line once. They have always supported a secular country and have had the power to enforce those views upon the government when it has tried to go Islamic. Let us all hope that that is still true today, I have no idea if it is, but at least we can hope that the Islamists have not managed to corrupt the military also.
