I didn't say that. The Jews fear is understandable. Those in Turkey who wish to seek the destruction of Turkey-Israel ties are coming out, and they are anti-semetic and radical bigots mainly from the East of Turkey. For that reason it is understandable they feel threatened, but there security under our government is gaurenteed regardless and so is there citizenship and acceptance among others in Turkey.
Should the police get a medal for doing their job? This is evident that the anti-Israeli theme in Turkey is not on the goverment level only.
No, i am pointing to the fact that anti-semetism is only on a small scale in Turkish society as it is everywhere. Much of our population (Western Turkey, Istanbul areas) have always supported strong ties with Israel, especially those in area's who rely heavily on tourism and welcome thousands of Israeli's on a yearly bases.
Considering that the attack on the Marmara took place about a year after this riot and after all the other cases I've brought here, I can't see its relevance to the Turks' anger in those examples
I was referring in general, that anger was likely being thrown at Israel because of the Gaza raid. Agencies like the UN, BBC and other European news outlets publicized it hugely, mainly in a negative and pro-Palestinian light. That has been my experience, and with the added hand of Erdogan stirring the big tea cup, its no wonder tensions have become what they are.
And it took an attack on a basketball team, mass demonstrations with crouds crying "death to Israel" the chess incedent, two anti-Israeli TV shows and one Mavi Marmara provoketion to take a small group of Israelies out to the street.
Firstly, you make out our TV shows are created by the government.
Kurtlar vadisi is and always has been a highly controversial programme in Turkey that has stirred more than a few emotions in the past. It is no wonder they where the first to do what they done. However, believe it or not, we do not prevent the airring of a programme just because it is political (and fictional). And i can name more than a few examples in the past.
Two wrongs don't make a right. My point is Turkey aren't interested in reconcliliation and Israel should stop making efforts to reconcil
My point is, using a stupid poster made on MS paint doesn't signify anything.
Sorry, is homophobic anti-semic maniac who oppresses his own people better ?
Ain't arresting your opposition and suppressing mass demonstrations against the goverment by deadly force are the actions of a dictator?
Homophobic and anti-semetic. Supression of demonstrations.
This is what happens when you read YNet news. :roll:
