We Turkish anti-Semites love the Jewish people so much.

Hi, dhimmi no more

Thanks for your reply!

> I could not find any links in Arabic. I did read about Ayrilik some time ago but I cannot find any Arabic translations on line so if you find any translations just let me know.<

On YouTube one scene where the Israelis murder a baby is available with English subtitles .

A friend of mine has translated for me the conversation between the two Jews in the scene linked to earlier.

" In the movie the commander tells to the younger guy:

-You always wanted to do big jobs and the ones given were never enough for you. When I took you you were still a child and I never spared from my own (? he could mean "I loved you like my own" or he has his own child also.) Now it's time to serve your country(he is telling about serving MAFU,I dont know what does that mean).

The young guy asks - How ?

Old guy continues:

-You will form a team with the ones you trust . It will appear without any connection to the army but you'll get the orders from the army.You see those muslims ? They have already reached the check-points. God bless their pilgrimage !

Young one replies:

-Amen !"

What kind of impudent liars and hypocrites the Turks are is visible from the fact that while showing the Jewish soldiers as bloodthirsty sadists, oppressors of Palestinian Arabs and mass murderers to the gloating public in Turkey, the producer of the Ayrilik series himself has the cheek to tell the Jews that the series is not about Israel at all !!! What is more, all involved in producing the Ayrilik in fact do love the Israeli people !!! ... Yes, the great news from Turkey is that Turkish anti-Semites love the Jews!!! ;)

" In an interview full of contradictions, Turkish television producer Selcuk Cobanoglu [...] told Israel Radio on Thursday that the soldiers depicted in the drama "are not Israeli soldiers" and that all of the program's staff love the Israeli people.

'The show is not about IDF soldiers. We also wrote this in a warning that appeared on the screen at the beginning of the program," Cobanoglu said. [...]

In Thursday's interview, Cobanoglu stressed that "all of our staff loves the Israeli people. This show isn't about Israeli soldiers but rather about a specific group that is responsible for all the murders."

Two and a half years ago Dr. Pipes saw a million 'moderate' Moslems in Turkey on the march towards a bright 'secular' future against Islam. It seems that their march continues – this time without any visible moderacy and/or secular masks - against Israel and for Islam.

Looking at the green shahid head ribbons with slogans in Arabic one might think it's not a rally taking place at the heart of the Turkish stronghold of "secularism" but at the heart of Islamic darkness in the West Bank or Syria.

Anti-Semitism is on the rise in the country of Ataturk which was euphorically called Israel's second-best ally. Jewish activists wrote in January in an open letter to imam Erdogan :

"Many recent incidents are gravely distressing [...]. Protestors besieging the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul have expressed their hatred of Jews. Billboards around Istanbul are full of anti-Jewish propaganda posters. The door of a Jewish-owned shop near Istanbul University was covered with a poster that said, 'Do not buy from here, since this shop is owned by a Jew.' The defacing of an Izmir synagogue has brought about the temporary closure of all but one of that city's synagogues."

Anyway, one might recall Israeli eulogies for imam Erdogan , the 2005 winner of the 'Courage to Care Award" Anti-Defamation League medal for combatting anti-Semitism. On that occasion he uttered his memorable words "Anti-Semitism is a disease of the mind". Now comparing that past parody of his with his more recent outstanding anti-Semitic exploits both in Davos or during Israel's war of self-defence against the Gazastani jihadists and afterwards, one is positively tempted to apply Erdogan's sagacious diagnosis to his own Islamic and anti-Semitic mind dressing up its disgust for Jews in a decorous parlance .

"There is military cooperation between Turkey and Israel...but currently there are diplomatic sensitivities that we have to take into consideration," AFP quoted Edrogan as telling the Dubai-based channel Al-Arabiya.

'We have taken the conscience of our people into consideration when we decided.... I had to be the voice that expresses the existence of my people and my people were rejecting Israel's participation.' "

A positive outcome of all these nasty developments in Turkey is that at last more and more Israelis pluck up courage to shake off the torpor imposed by the insidious and self-defeating political correctness and call a spade a spade.

"One government official was much less sanguine, however, saying that Ankara, 'drunk with its own importance and power in the region,' was playing a 'dangerous game.'

'Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones,' the official said, referring to Turkey's massacre of Armenians in the beginning of the century, its treatment of the Kurds, and its repression of freedom of speech inside its own country. A country that brings with it this kind of 'dowry,' the official said, should speak carefully.

The official bewailed what he said was Turkey's ingratitude, saying that Israel has helped the country 'in a thousand ways' over the years, including in Washington and Western Europe, often acting against its own moral conscience because of pragmatic political considerations - a reference to lobbying efforts in Washington for years against the perennial Armenian Genocide resolution.'

And many common Israeli citizens have already drawn their conclusions too. They have stopped flying to anti-Semitic Turkey that allegedly "loves" the Jewish people so much.

"I can't sell a Turkish air ticket going via Istanbul," Mark Feldman, CEO of Zion Tours, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.[...] 'Nobody, but nobody, wishes to fly there... packages are very cheap, the airline is a good airline... [but] people are voting with their feet'.
