Turkey punishing Hamas?

David: you write "Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey quite correctly states with Allah's backing that perpetrating inhuman actions by shelling innocent Israeli men women & children for a decade deserves punishment. Hamas, which perpetrated these inhuman actions are now receiving their due punishment!".

Ah, but Turkey as a muslim country is not doing any kind of punishment of Hamas; it is simply relying on Allah (or should I say Jews) to do the punishment.

I wonder, if Turkey is not secretly helping Hamas and hence defying the will of Allah?
