Erdogan’s ongoing violence against the Kurds emanates from the fact that the Kurds seek their own independent state.
Kurdish fighters performed heroically and were a critical American ally at the height of the battle against the Islamic State. Yet Erdogan abuses the Kurds unceasingly, while he accuses Israel of genocide. It is obscene that Turkey remains in NATO.
Erdogan, along with Qatar, is an ardent Muslim Brotherhood supporter. Hamas is an offshoot of the Brotherhood. In the weeks following October 7, Erdogan “addressed hundreds of thousands of supporters” in a massive pro-Hamas rally in Istanbul:
We will tell the whole world that Israel is a war criminal. We are making preparations for this. We will declare Israel a war criminal.
Erdogan also reiterated his support for Hamas and declared that Hamas was not a terrorist organization.
A couple of months after October 7, as the world focused on Gaza, Turkey renewed its ruthless attacks on the Kurds.
Now Erdogan is backing his fellow Muslim country, Iran; both countries belong to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which seeks to unite the Muslim ummah and prioritize the Palestinian “resistance.”
The entire West should be standing with its ally Israel.
“Erdoğan accuses Israel of genocide, and then bombs the Kurds,” by Lior Ben Ari, YNet News, October 28, 2024:
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has emerged as one of Israel’s most vocal critics since the onset of the war. He has urged the Arab world to unite against Israel, claiming that it has no intention of stopping in Gaza and will extend its actions to Turkey.
Erdoğan repeatedly refers to the ongoing war against Hamas as “genocide,” even labeling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “the Hitler of our time.” Meanwhile, Erdoğan continues to carry out ruthless operations against the Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iraq.
Wednesday marked a new escalation in the already strained relations between Turkey and the Kurdish groups seeking independence. An attack targeted the headquarters of Turkey’s aerospace industry company TUSAS in Ankara, resulting in five fatalities and 22 injuries….
Even before the PKK took responsibility, Turkey launched intensive air and ground strikes against Kurdish positions in Syria and Iraq….

The mozlum ghoul, like all of the others, believes it’s his *right* to murder whomever he wishes, but reserves that *right* to himself and other mozlums.
“The one saying, “do not steal,” do you steal”?
Romans 2:21 ” you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery?”
The turkey dictator ‘preaches’ against Israel as it engages in self-defense by destroying those who have murdered and intend to do further murders, but then he attacks people who may have had nothing to do with what happened to the other turks.
But what else can one expect from a rabid adherent of islam?

Well, if anyone knows what a genocide looks like, it’s the Turks.

Turkish President Erdoğan accuses Israel of genocide, then bombs the Kurds
…………………………….
A real perpetrator of genocide falsely accusing a democratic state of genocide. No one should be surprised by this–but all too many will believe it.
OLD GUY says
Erdogan is a bad actor and Turkey needs to get rid of him before he destroys their country.

Israel should have kept the Sinai and should never give an inch to this envious death cult. No question of the legitimacy of Israeli settlements. All land is God’s land anyway and it should go to the merciful and righteous. Muslims believe they have a right to everyone’s land so why should they keep any of it? They spread after all by the sword, stealing the lands of others. Plus Israel is industrious and a startup hub. They even have one of the world’s largest vegan/vegetarian and animal rights movements—that’s how liberal they are, and I use that term in its true traditional sense the way Thomas Jefferson was a liberal, not the modern hijacked version that means frothing at the mouth, left of Stalin extremists. After all Adam & Eve were vegetarians who named all the animals in Eden. That’s why so many rabbis and Christian monks and denominations (like seventh day adventists) are vegetarian. In fact there was a vegan/vegetarian Jewish pizzeria near me but someone after Oct 7 smashed the glass door in and wrecked it so they closed down (I’m sure the authorities are still looking for a motive). These are the blessings of the merciful compassionate religion of peace. Albeit there are many Muslim gentlemen but they are usually westernized and don’t take their religion as seriously. The Middle East needs to be colonized like Africa or Cuba etc. for their own welfare. Compare the latter with Hawaii and tell me who is better off, Honolulu or Havana. White man’s burden is real. Imagine these psychos all get nukes. God forbid. Of course I’m preaching to the choir.
