Israel is the country most hated by Turkish citizens, a Pew Research Center poll released last week found. Responders were asked whether they have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of a selection of states (US, China, Brazil, Russia, Iran, Israel) and entities (such as the European Union and Nation).
Israel was found the most disliked country of the offered options, with 86 percent of responders saying they have an unfavorable opinion of Israel and only 2 percent seeing Israel in a positive light...

So you don’t support democracies? Or you don’t support the Jewish right to the land of their forefathers? Do you support the Islamic Totalitarian regimes calling for death to the Jews and firing missiles into Israel each day?
“Turkey could use Ataturk these days... badly”
Oh yeah, lovely man. Presided over the massacre of 250,000 Greek Orthodox civilians in Smyrna in September 1922. Of course, they were Eastern Christians so who on FR cares about them?!
yes, the cufrent regime in Turkey is IslamoNazi at its core, which is why O likes it so much, of course...
Mustapha Kemal Ataturk:
Secularized Turkish society
Outlawed the fez & the veil
Latinized written Turkish & abolished Arabic script
Gave women the right to vote
Ataturk did all of this because he recognized the EVIL of Islam; IIRC he called Islam “the Arabian disease”.
Yes, he is missed by any Turk who loves liberty. Watch for two upcoming events: Hagia Sophia will reopen as a mosque, and the Ataturk mausoleum will be closed to the public.
Jesus has not forgotten about them! They are with him in glory and has wiped the tears from their eyes. When he comes back in judgment, the Islamic nations will bear most of his wrath...
Read it again Jan-Sobieski.
True; you will never see over 90-99% of fungi. Are you implying anything?
So the Turks are upset about what they consider genocide by the Israelis? Now that’s what I call having a lot of brass or whatever it’s called in Turkey.
Sorry if I misunderstood...reading the words of the post it is hard to not draw my conclusion.
If this is supposed to...
...make me think Israel isn’t worth supporting...
...it didn’t work.
I agree! Turkey is perhaps the least qualified to identify or blame others for Genocide (with the exception of Russia, Germany, and all Islamic Regimes). They still will not admit to killing over 1.5 million Armenians.
Ooopps. Very sorry! I don’t know how I read this incorrectly. Must be a senior moment!
Don’t fret. No problem. Take care.
Gee, I wonder who is #2?
Me either...so glad they cleared that one up.
Historical reasons.Armenia an Iran have been tied together historically since at least 500 BC
Never put down to malevolence what can be explained by ignorance. I doubt most freepers, leave alone most Americans have heard of that. Some have heard of the Armenian genocide but a small %. Btw I now think that Ataturks slaughter was a direct consequence of the west not pushing the treaty of sevres hard enough. Also we mist not forget how we christians squabbles after the successes’ of the first Balkan war
