Under Erdogan, now Turkey turns Antisemtic

Submitted by Ludvikus (United States), Jul 19, 2014 at 20:55

Who would have believed - before Erdogan was first elected its Prime Minister - that Ataturk's Turkey would turn into a full-blown Islamist Antisemitic country: the 17,000 Jews remaining in Turkey are to blame for Israel conduct in Gaza, and are asked to apologize; Ironically, Erdogan (elsewhere, today, or so) invokes Hitler to describe Israeli conduct, while it's precisely he who acts the demagogue in blaming Turkish citizen Jews:

"In the wake of Gaza events, increasingly hostile environment toward Jews in Turkey, Israel orders relatives of diplomats to return"
