The Turkish plot thickens

They made up already. Immediately after that incident Peres personally called Erdogan to say that there was a misunderstanding and that it was nothing personal. So much for Erdogan's theatrics. The guy can't hide his Islamist tendencies and made a clown out of himself. Serves him well. Not that he could care less about the Palestinians. That was only meant as an election ploy to win over the votes of the fundementalist-minded rabble here.

This has been such an spectacle that public opinion in Israel is going to have its say. Just because Shimon Peres called to "calm" things down does not mean it is over.

 

A few things also must be mentioned that this "outburst" is not an isolated event, it follows a set of declaration that strikes into the heart of Jewish States reality.

 

1) Erdogan called for banning Israel from the UN

2) He called IDF's actions as crimes against humanity

3) He said Hamas does not have advanced weapon for Israel to justify its use of modern and deadly weapons. He called the Hamas missiles as primitive and small weapons, as in saying they caused no harm to the Israelis. (A point that Israel vehemently rejects)

4) He called on the new Obama administration to reassess and redefine "terrorism" in the Middle East. And called for the inclusion of Hamas in direct talks with Israel.

 

plus Jews are stunned to see the level of Turkish hostility against Turkish Jews. In other words all talk of "friendship" was a big BS.

 

It remains to be seen also if the Turkish government is really interested in maintaining deep strategic ties with Israel. I cannot believe that this Turkish stance can only be attributed to an "angry" Prime Minister's follies.

Turkish Prime Minister redefines 'outrage'

 

 

Jack Kemp

 

Days ago, the Turkish Prime Minister walked off a stage in Davos,

Switzerland when he was engaged in a heated argument with Israeli

President Shimon Peres. Prime Minister Edrogan angrily stated to Peres

that "You are killing people" and "A finger-pointing Peres told

Erdogan at Thursday's panel that he would have done the same if

rockets had been falling on Istanbul."

 

Since the Turkish Prime Minister is so incensed about civilian

casualties caused largely by Hamas using human shields, forced or

otherwise, perhaps he should consider the glass house whose door he

has just opened.

 

Samantha Power's Pulitzer Prize winning 2002 book, "A Problem From

Hell, America and the Age of Genocide," points out, on page one, that

in 1921 the former Turkish Interior Minister Mehmet Talaat, was shot

on a street in Berlin by an Armenian. This was an organized revenge

killing for the Turkish genocide of one million Armenian civilians in

World War I. Years later, Ms. Power states, on page 23 that, "In 1942,

Hitler restored Talaat's ashes to Turkey, where the Turkish government

enshrined the fallen hero's remains in a mausoleum on the Hill of

Liberty in Istanbul.

 

Page eight of Ms. Power's book informs us in further detail exactly of

what type of "hero" Interior Minister Talaat was by the indirect open

admission of the liquidation of the Armenian population of Turkey he

made to an American diplomat at that time:

 

 

Talaat once asked (then American Ambassador) Morganthau whether the

United States could get the New York Life Insurance Company and

Equitable Life of New York, which for years had done business with the

Armenians, to send a complete list of the Armenians policy holders to

Turkish authorities. "They are practically all dead and have left no

heirs," Talaat said, "The government is the beneficiary now."

 

 

So we have the current prime minister of a country that killed one

million unarmed Armenians and honors, to this day, one of the chief

architects of that genocide with a hero's grave at a national cemetery

in his nation's capitol. This prime minister now states that he is

outraged by Israel waging war against an actual rocket-launching enemy

which resulted in some civilian casualties in Gaza, an area allowed

food and water to its' civilian population by the Israelis. There

still are approximately one million civilians living in Gaza.

 

 

Well, at least we all can better understand the origins of Prime

Minister Edrogan's mindset by seeing who his government honors. I

would like to know at what point (in terms of body count) and by what

means one becomes a hero rather than a murderer in Mr. Edrogan's

opinion.

 

 

Jack Kemp is not the politician of the same name.

Erdogan has said, with indignation, about justifying the Hamas response of firing on Israel, "how do you expect Hamas to remain calm and not react to the arrests and killings of their leaders by Israel"?

 

I wonder if he gives the same thought of Armenians "stabbing the back" of Ottoman Empire. If not he should be reminded, "How did you expect Armenians to have kept quiet and not react to the arrests and liquidation of Armenian leadership in 1915 and the so-called "deportations"?

 

These words should and will be used to shove down the throats of those Turks who have a hard time understanding the Armenian resistance movement.

GUL: TURKISH JEWS EQUAL CITIZENS

 

PanARMENIAN.Net

04.02.2009 18:09 GMT+04:00

 

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ All citizens of the Turkish Republic have equal

rights and Turkish Jews are not an exception from this firm principle,

President Abdullah Gul said yesterday, as he called on the Turkish

public to take pains to be more sensitive to the Jewish population

in its reactions to the loss of hundreds of civilians during Israel's

recent deadly offensive in the Gaza Strip.

 

"Our Jewish citizens are equal to me and you," Gul told reporters at

a press conference when reminded of news reports concerning Turkish

Jews' worries over rising anti-Semitism in the country.

 

"They [Turkish Jews] can also serve as deputies and as the

president. They also have rights in this country. Each and every

citizen of the Turkish Republic has equal rights. Any discrimination

against them [Turkish Jews] is out of the question. Israel is one

thing and our Jewish citizens in Turkey are another," Gul said while

speaking at the press conference. "I call on all my citizens.

 

Let no one behave rudely toward another," Gul said yesterday, calling

on the public to remind individuals who redirect their reactions

toward Israel to Turkish Jews, Today's Zaman reports.

 

Silvyo Ovadya, the leader of the Jewish community in Turkey claimed

yesterday that the biggest problem of Jews is that the majority of

the Turkish people eye them as foreigners.
