Don't worry, Turkey just picked some quarrel with Israel over who will "eat" more of American pie, really. Yes, Turkey is as big ally of US/UK as Israel, and they had those relations for centuries, much longer than what Israel has to boast of.

I'd say it looks like Israel is loosing that quarrel at the moment. It seems so from the rhetorics around pals and ongoing development in Turkey (I loved that radar deal personally, so much win, hehe).

With the ME being balkanized, Israel is not that needed in future, while Turkey will always be a good ol' knife at Russia's "belly". So, Turkey is using the right moment (as they certainly deserve some favor due to radar contract and their role in Libyan campaign) for their own good. If they were allowed to shoot as many kurds as they wanted this year, why not score some more? And with the recent discoveries of huge oil and gas fields in Levantine Sea and even more yet to discover, it should be no suprise they try to get more in control over it. But I don't see how real fight is possible between those two. It's all to be settled by how US decide.
