Turkish FM asks why Syria didn't attack Israel, says Turkey will not stand idly by if Israel attacks a Muslim country

The rapidly re-Islamizing Turks are irked that Assad didn't respond to Israel's recent air strike. This is of a piece with their support for the Syrian jihadists, who are Sunnis and are fighting to overthrow the Assad regime, which is a client of the Iranian Shi'ites.

"Is Turkey urging Syria to retaliate Israeli strike?," from Ynet News, February 2 (thanks to Golem):

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu slammed Israel's alleged strike in Syria, urging Damascus to retaliate, the Hurriyet news agency reported.

"Why didn't (Bashar) Assad even throw a pebble when Israeli jets were flying over his palace and playing with the dignity of his country?" Davutoglu told reporters Saturday on his way to an international conference on Syria in Munich, which Defense Minister Ehud Barak is also expected to attend.

"Why didn't the Syrian Army, which has been attacking its own innocent people for 22 months now from the air with jets and by land with tanks and artillery fire, respond to Israel's operation? Why can't Assad, who gave order to fire SCUD missiles at Aleppo, do anything against Israel?" Davutoglu added.

The foreign minister suggested there might exist a collaborative conspiracy between Israel and Assad's regime. "Is there a secret agreement between Assad and Israel? The Assad regime only abuses. Why don't you use the same power that you use against defenseless women against Israel, which you have seen as an enemy since its foundation," he said.

The Turkish Minister insisted that Turkey will not stand by as Israel attacks a Muslim country....

Islamists. They are the school ground bullies who egg on their fellows with chants of "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Truly childish.

""Is there a secret agreement between Assad and Israel?"---

Yes, an agreement that allows Israel to attack Assad's own forces and hecnhmen. *sigh*...

The conspiracy theories of these pedophile worshippers are equal or worse than those found in the 'Elders of Zion'. And to think that these islamonazis are part of NATO and will recieve the F-35 at some point.

@Cuda

"Truly childish"---

No!. Truly sociopathic. Islam is a -pathologically- sociopathic ideology.

It's long past time we kicked Turkey out of NATO (which we can easily do, by threatening to leave it ourselves).

"Why didn't (Bashar) Assad even throw a pebble when Israeli jets were flying over his palace and playing with the dignity of his country?" Davutoglu told reporters


Why didn't Turkeys Ergodan?.

Memo to Davutoglu: The Syrian state has no "dignity" left for Israel to "play with." Somehow, it got swept away in the tide of murder, blood, and torture that the world knows as the Syrian Revolution.

And, Mr. Davutoglu, your assertion that Turkey won't "stand by as Israel attacks a Muslim country" is startling for its hypocrisy, double standards, and myopia. Apparently it's not the "attack on a Muslim country" part that bothers you (Turkey attacks Muslim Kurds, Assad attacks Muslim Syrians, Sunni and Shia Muslims routinely attack each other in various conflicts, and Muslim-on-Muslim violence is endemic to many parts of the Middle East and north Africa—and Turkey says little). It must be the "Israel" part that bothers you.

True to form, you are reminding us that Turkey never misses an opportunity to slam Israel.

Will Turkey demand that NATO Patriot missile batteries (US, German and Dutch) near the Syrian frontier be used to target IDF planes in Syrian airspace? That's why Turkey wanted those units isn't it?

Let us not forget that Turkish Muslims - the 'Ottoman Empire' - used to rule over a vast swath of the Islamosphere, all the way from the Barbary States of the North African littoral, through Egypt, the Levant (including eretz Israel, and places now known as Jordan, Lebanon and Syria), Iraq, and most of the Arabian Peninsula.

They were hated and resented by the Arab Muslims, because Arab Muslims look down on non-Arab Muslims.

And they 'tolerated' dhimmi Jews, if suitably bribed, but life under Ottoman Turkish Muslim rule was NOT peaches and roses for Jews, far from it.

As we see from this blunt summation of the situation, by a humble Aussie lighthorseman, Trooper no. 135, Ion L Idriess, in his book ' The Desert Column' (which as well as describing Gallipoli, also describes the magnificent WWI mostly-on-horseback campaign of the British and Australians against the Ottoman Turkish Muslims, from Egypt up as far as Jaffa where Idriess got the wound that put him out of the war):


The Desert Column, Chapter 50, Page 183:

"I think this is the 17th (December, 1917). Yesterday we rode by numbers of vividly pretty little red-roofed towns. The inhabitants are very fair skinned, mostly Jews. They are by far the most cleanly people we have yet met. They are very hospitable although they do charge us a hefty/ p. 184 / price for brown bread, honey and tobacco.

"Lots of them have had a hard time from the [Muslim - dda] Turks.

"They seem to live between two devils, the Turk and the Arab.
(Both, of course, Muslim - dda).

'Apparently the Turk prevents the Arab from massacring them outright, because the Jews are a very handy people to squeeze taxes from...".

If you ever encounter anybody spouting nonsense about how good the Jews in 'Palestine' had it under the Turkish Muslims, living among Arab and Turkish Muslims, before the Mandate and before those eeevil uppity Jooze, the Zionists, broke the dhimma by daring to reclaim and defend Jewish sovereignty in Jewish traditional land, quote them those lines from Idriess: "They (the Jews) seem to live between two devils, the Turk and the Arab....The Turk prevents the Arab from massacring them outright, because the Jews are a very handy people to squeeze taxes from...".

For more on what it was like for Jews anywhere in the Ottoman Empire - but especially within so-called "Palestine", that is, in that part of the Empire that occupied the Jews' ancestral homeland and controlled the key Jewish sacred sites - and also to see what it was like for Jews in Turkey up until, during and just after World War II, read here:

Under Turkish Rule, Part II
By Andrew G. Bostom
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, August 03, 2007

In the first article, there is massive confirmation of Idriess' laconic observation about the Jewish communities that the Australian light horse, riding into 'Palestine', encountered, namely, that 'lots of them have had a hard time from the Turks'.

*This* is what that 'hard time' consisted in:

"During World War I in Palestine, between 1915 and 1917, the New York Times published a series of reports 74 on Ottoman-inspired and local Arab Muslim assisted antisemitic persecution which affected Jerusalem, and the other major Jewish population centers.

"For example, by the end of January, 1915, 7000 Palestinian Jewish refugees—men, women, and children—had fled to British-controlled Alexandria, Egypt.

"Three New York Times accounts from January/February, 1915 provide these details of the earlier period:

'On Jan. 8 [1915], Djemal Pasha 75a ordered the destruction of all Jewish colonization documents within a fortnight under penalty of death…
'In many cases land settled by Jews was handed over to Arabs, and wheat collected by the relief committee in Galilee was confiscated in order to feed the army.
'The Moslem peasantry are being armed with any weapons discovered in Jewish hands…The United States cruiser Tennessee has been fitted up on the lines of a troop ship for the accommodation of about 1,500 refugees, and is plying regularly between Alexandria and Jaffa…
'A proclamation issued by the commander of the Fourth [Turkish] Army Corps describes Zionism as a revolutionary anti-Tukish movement which must be stamped out. Accordingly the local governing committees have been dissolved and the sternest measures have been taken to insure that all Jews who remain on their holdings shall be Ottoman subjects…
'Nearly all the [7000] Jewish refugees in Alexandria come from Jerusalem and other large towns, among them being over 1,000 young men of the artisan class who refused to become Ottomans.'

"By April of 1917, conditions deteriorated further for Palestinian Jewry, which faced threats of annihilation from the Ottoman government.

"Many Jews were in fact deported, expropriated, and starved, in an ominous parallel to the genocidal deportations of the Armenian dhimmi communities throughout Anatolia.

"Indeed, as related by Yair Auron:

'Fear of the Turkish actions was bound up with alarm that the Turks [that is, the Turkish Muslims and the Arab Muslims along with them - dda] might do to the Jewish community in Palestine, or at least to the Zionist elements within it, what they had done to the Armenians. This concern was expressed in additional evidence from the early days of the war, from which we can conclude that the Armenian tragedy was known in the Yishuv [Jewish community in Palestine]

"A mass expulsion of the Jews of Jerusalem, although ordered twice by Djemal Pasha, was averted only through the efforts of [the Ottoman Turks World War I allies] the German government which sought to avoid international condemnation.'

The 8000 Jews of Jaffa, however, were expelled quite brutally, a cruel fate the Arab Muslims and the Christians of the city did not share...".
END QUOTE

Sharia-minded Turkish Muslims probably see themselves as the ones who ought to be at the top of any re-formed Caliphate...ruling not only over their fellow Muslims, but also over a terrorised remnant of re-dhimmified Jews (and re-dhimmified Christians).

The Turkish Minister insisted that Turkey will not stand by as Israel attacks a Muslim country.

Huh? What exactly do you have in mind, Davuto?lu?

One stray Syrian shell into Turkish territory, which may well have come from the rebels, mind you, and you run for NATO protection from “Syrian attacks”, yet when Israel takes a protective measure to defend its citizens you cry foul, you bloody hypocrite! But what else is new in the Islamic Republic of Turkey?

"Is there a secret agreement between Assad and Israel?"

Of course not. Israel is the convenient bogeyman for both the sides. Both score propaganda points by hitting at Israel.

Assad - Israel is trying to destabilise Syria.

Sunni Jihadists, Turkey - Hey why don't you hit back at Israel you coward?

Answer - Israel will thrash Assad's forces - which is what the Sunni Jihadists want.

No best if Assad deals with the Sunni Jihadists.

Good work Assad. Just dont transfer your missiles and chemical weapons to Hezbollah.
