Turkish Prime Minister: Israel Has ‘Surpassed What Hitler Did To Them’
CBS DC ^ | Friday, July 25, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 07/25/2014 1:31:17 PM PDT by Star Traveler

WASHINGTON (CBS DC/AP) – Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ridiculed Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza, accusing the Israeli government of “barbarism that surpasses Hitler.”

Speaking at a political re-election rally in the Turkish city of Ordu, Turkey’s prime minister said that Israel has “surpassed what Hitler did to them” and declared the country a “terrorist state.”

“[Israelis] have no conscience, no honor, no pride. Those who condemn Hitler day and night have surpassed Hitler in barbarism,” said Erdoğan. He accused Israel of rejecting ceasefires that Hamas has proposed and “spitting death, spitting blood.”

Erdogan reiterated his opposition to Israel’s operations in the Gaza Strip and said that the Israel Defense Forces have had a “disproportionate” effect and will end any positive relations between Israel and Turkey. Despite the climbing death toll of Palestinians – with nearly 800 killed during the most recent Israeli offensive in Gaza – Erdogan said that the Turkish people should not take out their frustrations on Turkey’s own Jewish community.

Erdogan perpetuates the MYTH that Israel treats everyone in Gaza as "the enemy". Israel doesn't because Israel very clearly and specifically says that the Palestinian rtesidents are NOT the enemy - but Hamas and their terrorist operation is the enemy. Now no country is called a "terrorist state" for killing soldiers of another army when they are being attacked by that army. That's what Hamas consists of ... soldiers of an attacking army, but ALSO terrorists who attack civilians.

Israel doesn't attack civilians, but goes to the utmost extremes to avoid any collateral damage to them! Again, it's a MYTH that Israel thinks that EVERYONE in Gaza is an enemy. That's an absolutely false accusation that is meant to take the attention away from the true terrorists - HAMAS.

Dear Turkish Prime Minister,

Sincerely,

Here’s what the Israeli Ambassador said just a few days ago!

“THE GAZA RESIDENTS ARE NOT OUR ENEMY!”

Don’t let the enemies if Israel “spread the lie” that Israel treats all of Gaza as the enemy. It’s only Hamas!

— — —

Speaking at the conference, Israel’s ambassador to the body, Eviatar Manor told the debate that “Israel will destroy Hamas’ military infrastructure.” He also added that “the Gaza residents are not our enemy. Israel is fully committed to international law.” The ambassador also slammed the UN Human Rights Council saying they had “failed to protect the human rights of Israelis,” Haaretz reports.

Do you remember how Erdoğan pleaded with Hamas to stop unprovoked attacks against Israeli civilians?

Neither do I.

Turkey, the UN, Qatar and the USA are behind Hamas.

For Turkey, genocide has been their way.


Armenian civilians are marched to a nearby prison in Mezireh by armed Turkish soldiers. Kharpert, Ottoman Empire, April 1915.
Armenian children and infants were lined up with their heads 50 in a row
So the Turks see how far bullets would travel through infant brain.

Ankara not only adopted a more belligerent approach to Cyprus
but recklessly inserted itself in such sensitive topics as the Iranian nuclear buildup and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Most surprising of all has been its backing for IHH, a domestic Turkish "charity"
with documented ties to Al-Qaeda.
Erdogan has gratuitously discarded his carefully crafted image of a pro-Western "Muslim democrat,"
making it far easier to treat him as the Tehran-Damascus ally that he is."

Reductio ad Hitlerum aka Godwin's law (or Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"  —​ that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism. Promulgated by American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990, Godwin's Law originally referred, specifically, to Usenet newsgroup discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms and blog comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles and other rhetoric. In 2012, "Godwin's Law" became an entry in the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

The USA doesn’t give money or arms to Hamas, but the USA does give humanitarian aid to the People there in Gaza through agencies, such as UNRWA who administers the programs.

And Israel, who controls the goods that go into Gaza (they have a blockade around Gaza) does let the goods that the USA sends in through UNRWA go through their checkpoints, as Israel has no problem with that.

What Israel doesn’t let go through their checkpoints or past their blockade are arms and material for war going to Hamas.

Israel singles out Qatar as key Hamas terror sponsor
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3184241/posts

Gulf emirate is branded the villain behind Hamas belligerence, with PM’s former security adviser saying it funds tunnel diggers and rocket launchers.

President Shimon Peres accused Qatar on Wednesday of becoming “the world’s largest funder of terror” due to its financial support for Hamas in Gaza.

“Qatar does not have the right to send money for rockets and tunnels which are fired at innocent civilians,” the outgoing statesman told UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in Jerusalem. “Their funding of terror must stop. If they want to build then they should, but they must not be allowed to destroy.”

Qatar’s recently attempted to transfer funds for the salaries of Hamas civil servants in Gaza, following the formation of a Palestinian unity government, but was blocked by the United States, which pressured the Arab Bank not to process them. But former national security adviser Maj. Gen. (res) Yaakov Amidror told The Times of Israel that the emirate’s funding for the organization’s terror apparatus, including tunnel diggers and rocket launchers, has continued unabated.

Turkish Prime Minister: Israel Has ‘Surpassed What Hitler Did To Them’

Gee, I guess that would mean they also surpassed what the Turks did to the Armenians.

Kick Turkey out of NATO NOW!

Erdogan hosts Hamas leaders in Turkey! And Turkey is working together with Qatar, to offset Egypt and Israel in hitting back at Hamas.

Erdogan is raising the concept of “proportionality,” which IS part of accepted international rules for war. A case can be made for this.

However he is wrong, regarding the “distinction” of civilians and combatants.

That doesn't even justify a response from Israel. When you are surrounded by muslims, who's sole existence revolves around killing anyone that isn't a devout muslim, any rhetoric coming from the muslims will fall on deaf ears.
With the persecution of Israelis, and the purge of Christians in the middle east, the muslims should be forewarned: the presence of Christians and Jews in the middle east is the ONLY reason why we haven't turned the region into a smoldering radioactive crater, so keep pushing your luck, muslims. At some point, your luck will run out.
