He also seems to lack translation skills for he writes about the UN Palmer Report on the flotilla affair of last year, when Turkish terror-supporters attempted to kill Israeli soldiers who were engaged in a legal act, so:
My rough translation of its conclusion would be this message to Israel: You had the right to do it but what you did was way over the top and just plain dumb.
Cohen, roughage is something you really need to get rid of.
He never misses an opportunity to misinterpret anything to do with Israel.
He further asserts
Israel, increasingly isolated, should do just that. An apology is the right course and the smart course. What’s good for Egypt — an apology over lost lives — is good for Turkey, too.
Mr. Cohen, by the way, when has Turkey apologized for the Armenian Massacre? Wasn't that just a bit heavy-handed and disproportionate?

My comment did get published at the NYT.

I posted a comment about this column over on EOZ. Roger Cohen has a love affair with Islamists of all stripes. The Turkish leaders deeply hate Israel and just gave Israeli diplomats two days to leave their country and not because of anything Israel did. An apology would not have prevented Ankara from taking action against Israel.
And while we're on the subject of apologies, the dumb Cohen could have insisted the Turks offer apologies to the Kurds and the Greek Cypriots. Why single out Israel?
Israel did nothing wrong and the Palmer report confirmed it. Cohen may see the trees but he can't see the forest. Namely, that Israel was vindicated!
