Turkey: Armed men enter Istanbul Catholic church during mass, murder man
The report below portrays this as a targeted killing of the victim.

Turkey: Istanbul shopkeeper hangs sign in front of shop: ‘JEWS NOT ALLOWED’
This is another manifestation of the open Jew-hatred, not just opposition to Israel, that we see all over the world.
