Turkey’s Islamist Erdogan Rejects New U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem
Breitbart ^ | 14 May 2018 | Simon Kent

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country rejects the move of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, adding that the U.S. has “lost its role as mediator” in the Middle East in the process.

“With its latest step America has chosen to be a part of the problem, not a solution, and lost its mediator role in the Middle East peace process”, Erdogan told the Chatham House global affairs think tank on Monday.

“We are rejecting once again this decision which violates international law and which is against UN resolutions,” he said.

Erdogan chided the U.S. embassy move to Israel’s capital as “very, very unfortunate” and said it “will increase tensions and ignite an even greater fire between communities”.

“The international community must do its part as soon as possible and take swift action to put an end to Israel’s increasing aggression,” he went on.

“The establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is the only way for lasting peace and stability,” he said.

Erdogan started a three-day visit to Britain on Sunday. The Turkish leader is scheduled to meet Queen Elizabeth II and British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday.

The great “founding fathers” of Brittan would be ashamed of what has happened to the nation they bled and died for. It has reached the point where the only option is nothing less than another crusade to eliminate the evil filth disguising itself as a religon of peace. I hope my fellow Americans wake up before its too late for us as well.

Correct, it is illegal to discuss the past in Turkey, because it destroys all illusion of credibility.

Take note, his rage will soon increase. In Iran their currency has dropped 50% in value over the past 2 months.

Turkey is next. It is already happening.

We are witnessing a shift that will really make his head explode.

Turkey’s Islamist Erdogan Rejects New U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem

Does that mean we have to take it back to Tel Aviv? Just how can Erdogan "reject" our embassy in Jerusalem? Is he implying that Jerusalem is Turkish territory? That would be very Ottoman of him and terribly anachronistic.

Of course, he believes he will resurrect the bones of the Ottoman Empire and rule the world.

Forget that crap. I believe Erdogan’s own hate will soon literally consume him.

I’ve read stories about Spontaneous human combustion, Erdogan the Islamist’s hate is so strong that he may actually be a candidate for such a thing.

I do not think Erdogan will laugh much today.

Rage? Like that of the bunker scene of Hitler?

Sorry, is it just me or does anyone else find it difficult to take someone named “Tayyip” seriously?

Wonder what he’d say if we moved our embassy from Ankara to Adana? Should we have embassies where the other countries considers their capital to be, or where it works best for political purposes of 3rd parties?

Are there any other countries where our embassy is not in the capital? I don’t know of any but I don’t have a lot of knowledge in that area. I’d suggest that if any country complains about Jerusalem, we should immediately announce a move out of their capital city.
