Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has proclaimed that “‘Jews in Israel’ beat Palestinian woman and children, telling his audience at an Istanbul meeting of the Turkey Youth Foundation that Muslims must ensure Israelis are ‘taught a lesson.'” He went on:
“But as Muslims, will confront these people [the Jews] if they have courage to deal with us and we’ll teach them a lesson.”
The article below describes Erdogan as “unhinged,” but he really isn’t except by Western standards. He is a jihadist, and they are also all “unhinged” by Western standards. He and all jihadists (stealth and violent) are hateful propagandists who are called to jihad as a duty although many of them hide their agenda.
Propaganda against Jews is routine in the Palestinian territories and in Islamic states, including bizarre blood libel accusations; meanwhile, “how to stab a Jew” is taught to Palestinian children.
The Turkish daily newspaper Yeni Şafak, which is said to be close to Erdogan and his ruling AKP party, published an article some months ago titled “A Call for Urgent Action.” The article called on Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states “to form a joint ‘Army of Islam’ to besiege and attack the state of Israel.”
“Erdogan Unhinged: ‘Jews in Israel’ Kick Women and Children,” by Simon Kent, Breitbart, December 23, 2018:
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday claimed “Jews in Israel” beat Palestinian woman and children, telling his audience at an Istanbul meeting of the Turkey Youth Foundation that Muslims must ensure Israelis are “taught a lesson.”
“The Jews in Israel kick people laying on the ground. In fact, Jews don’t kick men but also women and children when they fall on the ground,” Erdogan said.
“But as Muslims, will confront these people [the Jews] if they have courage to deal with us and we’ll teach them a lesson,” Erdogan added, according to the Times of Israel.
Erdogan also said Turkey “cautiously” welcomes U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw US troops from Syria, revealing Turkey will postpone a military operation against Kurdish forces in northeast Syria as a consequence.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded immediately to Erdogan’s taunts, stating the Turkish leader was hardly in any position to be preaching morality.
“Erdogan – the occupier of northern Cyprus, whose army massacres women and children in Kurdish villages, inside and outside Turkey should not preach to Israel,” Netanyahu said on Twitter.
Saturday’s rhetorical attack on Israel by Erdogan is the second instance this month of his obsession with the Jewish state.
Last week he lashed out at Israel and compared it to Nazi Germany, accusing it of “trying to erase the traces of the Islamic heritage in Jerusalem for the last 50 years.”
“You [Israel] will not be able to wipe them out,” Erdogan said at the second “Conference of the Association of Parliamentarians for Al-Quds [Jerusalem],” in Istanbul.
“Today, the Palestinians are subjected to pressures, violence and intimidation policies no less grave than the oppression done to the Jews during WWII,” the president said, according to an online transcript of his speech…..
