Turkey's entry to the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest was "Love Me Back" by Can Bonomo. Although the bland love ballad was easily forgettable the stage show wasn't. It featured the star dressed as a sea captain surrounded by banner waving backing dancers. At the height of the performance the dancers surrounded the star and used their banners to form the shape of a sailing ship.
At first glance this looked like Turkey having a dig at Israel over the Mavi Marmara/flotilla incident. However at closer inspection the star looked quite a bit like Rudolf Martin - an actor who played Mossad/HAMAS double agent Ari Haswari David/Haswari in seasons 1&2 of US TV Show "NCIS." His costume was an almost perfect copy of the Turkish sea captain who was smuggling for Abu Sayyaf terrorists in the season 3 finale.
So the Turks were using actually using the contest to show the USA that they were making friends with the Israelis. This was largely a success with the judging panels including a notable single point from Israel.
So in summary; The Turkish PM is a man that really needs a war, Echelon might be picking this up and I really need to get a life. 14:29 on 23/6/12.
