Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman revanchism is heating up. One of his supporters is even claiming that Turks hold valid deeds to properties in Jerusalem, dating from the Ottoman era.
Behind this is a core element of Islam. Note that Erdogan says that “as Muslims” they will not step back over their supposed right to East Jerusalem. This is because their claim to East Jerusalem is not based on old Ottoman deeds or anything else except the Islamic principle that any land that was once ruled by Sharia belongs to Muslims forever. That is the basis for the Palestinian jihad, and the reason why a “two-state solution” or any other negotiated settlement will not end the conflict.
“Erdoğan slams Netanyahu’s ‘our city’ claim on Jerusalem,” Turkish Minute, September 17, 2025:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Wednesday condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declaration that Jerusalem belongs solely to Israel, vowing that Turkey will never abandon the Palestinians’ claim to East Jerusalem, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
Netanyahu made his remarks on September 15 at a ceremony in Jerusalem’s City of David, an archaeological park built over the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan just outside the Old City walls.
The event marked the unveiling of the “Pilgrimage Road,” a newly excavated underground passage that Israel says was once used by Jewish worshippers on their way to the ancient Temple Mount more than 2,000 years ago….
Netanyahu then pointedly addressed Erdoğan, saying: “This is our city, Mr. Erdoğan. It’s not your city. It’s our city. It will always be our city. It will not be divided again.”
Israeli media outlets claimed the words were a direct rebuttal to Erdoğan’s 2020 claim in Turkey’s parliament that “Jerusalem is our city, a city from us,” referencing the centuries of Ottoman rule over the city before World War I.
Erdoğan responded on Wednesday in a speech at a groundbreaking ceremony for Turkey’s new foreign ministry complex in Ankara.
“No one can stop us from standing with Gaza’s oppressed, who struggle to survive under Israel’s brutal attacks,” he said.
Erdoğan accused Israel of pursuing a genocidal campaign in Gaza, saying, “Those who think they can build a secure future through tyranny and genocide, at the cost of innocent children’s lives, will lose and drown in the blood they have shed.”
The Turkish president vowed to protect Jerusalem’s sanctity, saying, “We will not allow the Al-Quds al-Sharif [Jerusalem] to be defiled by unworthy hands.”
Referring to Netanyahu, Erdoğan added: “I know the resentment of these Hitler imitators will perhaps never fade. Let them continue their fits of rage. We, as Muslims, will not take a single step back from our rights over East Jerusalem.”
Erdoğan has time and again compared Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, while Netanyahu has accused Erdoğan of hypocrisy and antisemitism….
“In response to Netanyahu, Erdoğan: We will break back of those who seek to flood our region with blood,” A News, September 17,2025
In response to Israel’s war-criminal leader Benjamin Netanyahu, President Erdoğan underlined in his comments: “Jerusalem is the shared cause, memory, and heritage of the 2 billion Muslims of the Islamic world. We will not allow foreign hands to defile it. As Muslims, we will not take a single step back from our rights in Eastern Jerusalem. The followers of Hitler will never escape their torment.”…

The Islamic Empire Beast is against ALL Non-Muslims with discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111, etc). Islam is totalitarian and deceitful to conquer and subjugate every person.
ISLAM IS ANTICHRIST, AHISTORICAL, FALLACIOUS, DECEITFUL, AND POLITICAL against the USA Constitution and Western Laws to conquer and to subjugate Non-Muslims via a MUSLIM-TERRORIST-CRIMINAL-GANG ENTERPRISE using ISLAMIC LAW(SHARIA) and using CONTINUOUS, TERROR PROPAGANDA(Quran 3:28, 54; 7:99; 8:30, 16:106, etc.). Islam is a delusional fraud because there is NO MECCA, NO MUHAMMAD, and NO QURAN in the 7th century AD in Saudi Arabia despite the Muslim Standard Islamic Narrative(SIN) claims; the Deceitful House of Islam is founded on lies and deceit. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Again, Islam is a FACTITIOUS IDEOLOGY and CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION despicably fabricated over time into the 21sth century, and there is NO PEACE only genocidal obliteration with Islam and its deceitful Muslims(Quran 8:39: 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). Allah in Quran 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels[Non-Muslims] were your clear enemies.” As taught from Islam’s Quran, Islam should be banned for its incitement, funding, and promotion of violence, terrorism, hatred, human trafficking and discrimination against women, children, and Non-Muslims. Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day when Quran 5:14 says, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up enmity and hatred among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.”

“The followers of H*tler” include the Mufti Hajj Amin Husseini, his protégé, Yassir Arafat, and all the various branches of the Palestinian movement many of whose members cherish copies of Mein Kampf among their book collections.

Just East Jerusalem? In other words, he’d be fine w/ West Jerusalem remaining w/ Israel?
Anyway, no can do, since the Wailing Wall and Temple Mount is in East Jerusalem, and muslims have no business there, regardless of history. It belonged to the Jews first and was never voluntarily let go
Troybeam says
Unless God himself wrote those deeds, the deeds Erdogan is spouting zilch. Israel all of it belongs to the Jewish people as promised by God.
Is coexistence possible says
Can peace exist in the world while Islam exists in the world?
Is it time to declare Islam illegal across the globe?
Magooey says
There is a nice book with the title “Calcutta Quran Petition” which covers a lawsuit in India to get the Koran declared hate literature. The author is Sita Ram Goel. After lodging the case, Muslims engaged in violent riots and the judiciary closed the case down.
Getting the Koran listed as hate literature might be an example of lawfare to consider. It would help protect non Muslims.

Erdogan accuses Netanyahu of a genocidal campaign?

Yep. Muslims want all of Jerusalem, too.

After the Israeli War of Independence in the 1940s, the Arab Muslim countries threw their Jews out and confiscated their land. The land stolen from the Jews amounted to five times the size of Israel. This must be compensated by letting Israel have the same amount of land from Arab Muslim countries. Israel should get to choose which real estate to take in accord with its military, economic and diplomatic needs.
