Hey if israel retaliates after it would mean israel attacked a NATO country

Not if Turkiye attacks first. NATO is only a mutual defense pact, it doesn't back first strikes

Edit: I felt like I need to point out that this is what's on paper. That hasn't always been the case historically.

I'm sure Israel would never attack first and never launch a retaliatory strike that is not proportional.

On the other hand I would remind Turkish citizens to not litter the streets of Israel or risk Turkey being bombed.
