Turkey's Erdogan Fans the Flames of Anti-Semitism

In recent days, rage directed at the United States, Israel, and Jews has caught fire in Istanbul’s roiling streets. Making matters worse, Turkey’s Islamist president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan seems to have intentionally fanned the flames.

This all began Dec. 6, when President Donald Trump declared: “In 1995, Congress adopted the Jerusalem Embassy Act, urging the federal government to relocate the American embassy to Jerusalem and to recognize that that city — and so importantly — is Israel’s capital. This act passed Congress by an overwhelming bipartisan majority and was reaffirmed by a unanimous vote of the Senate only six months ago.

President Erdogan responded with a Hadith — one that is often quoted by jihadis.

“Those who think they are the owners of Jerusalem today will not even be able to find trees to hide behind tomorrow.”

This is a short excerpt.

My friend Uzay explained to the author the meaning of the Hadith that Erdogan quoted.

No explanation is needed in Turkey and the surrounding area. Extreme hatred for race and creed is very common.

Time to pull the plug on all money we send to Turkey, (billions and billions) in the past 50 years. We must arm his opposition so they can overwhelm the Turk security forces. This cat must go before he starts WWIII.

PS>>>send the money normally sent to Turkey to the Kurds and arm them with top notch weapons. Great deterrent against all forms of islamic extremists.

Like he intentionally planned his own coup to gain more power and clean house?

Mssr. Erdogan bethinks himself the reincarnation of one ‘ataturk’, which is delusional.

The Ottoman Empire died almost 100 years ago.

Mssr. Erdogan thinks he, like little fat man kim jung un, can bellow and the world cower in fear, is quite disillusioned.

Too bad Erdogan. You’re not going to be able to deal with the Jews like your kind did to the poor Armenian Christians with your genocidal Islamic forebearers.

Of course Erdogan intentionally fanned the flames. He’s looking to be Sultan over the Islamic world and it takes very little to fan the flames of Islam..they’re wired for it...... So he’s playing on the emotions of the people to ‘unite behind Him” as their spokesman and leader.

More like the anti-ataturk. Ataturk instituted a Seperation of Mosque and state, Erdogon is an Islamic fanatic.

This would be the same Erdogan who has been smuggling arms to jihadists in Germany.

All of you make valid points. It is clear that Erdogan the Islamist is a threat.

Yeah, quote that Hadith Ergogan. You are going to eat those words big time.

Seems quite possible he will participate in Ezekiel 38.

As an ally of Iran, He’ll suffer the same fate they do.

.The proud Turks have adored Ataturk over the decades and any opposition forces taking up his colors and banner would have a solid shot at taking out our little two bit dictator.

I believe that those that oppose Israel and her people will suffer greatly.

If the Kurds attacked Turkey from the rear, do you think Greece would help?

I think only the King James Version renders it this way (I’d have to look at other versions again):

(God speaking) “I will leave but the sixth part of thee”.

Approximately 16.6%. By the time Ezekiel 39 comes to pass.

Ezekiel 39:2 King James Version

2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
