This means that Turkey supports the mass murder of Israelis on Oct. 7, and the total eradication of Israel, which would mean a new genocide of the Jews.
“President Erdogan says Turkey firmly backs Hamas leaders and speaks openly with them,” Daily Mail, March 9, 2024:
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan today said that his nation ‘firmly backs’ the leaders of Hamas and that the country speaks openly with them.
He has refused to brand Hamas as a terrorist group, despite Western allies of NATO-member Turkey, including the UK, and some Arab nations, doing so.
‘No one can make us qualify Hamas as a terrorist organisation,’ Erdogan said in a speech in the city of Istanbul.
‘Turkey is a country that speaks openly with Hamas leaders and firmly backs them.’
Erdogan has been one of the most virulent critics of Israel since the start of the war in Gaza, which began after the October 7 attack Israel where Hamas killed at least 1,160 people, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures….

Why is Turkey still in NATO? I could see how earlier NATO would want to be able to access the Middle East through Turkey due to its geographical location. That geographical location has become obsolete due to technology, long range missiles, space weapons etc. If NATO was smart they would revoke Turkey’s membership as Islam does not share the same values as other European countries. Perhaps NATO has outlived its purpose.
JimJFox says
Kemal Ataturk tried to rid Turkey of Islam
Brenrod says
Unlike Turkey, Israel has never prohibited the passage of air flights etc when USA was involved in military actions. Turkey prohibited US flights in the past, I suggest a USA/ NATO base in Gaza, Israel after the hamas and their supporters are evicted.
Walter Sieruk says
When President of Turkey adamantly declared that “No one can make us qualify Hamas as a terrorist organization” Erdogan was than, in this Islamic arrogance, was actually refusing the recognize the truth about that hostile menacing malicious and murderous Muslim terrorist organization, Hamas.
By Erdogan’s refusal to come to grips with the reality of the truth about Hamas ,he was likewise embracing what is called “intentional ignorance.” Erdogan’s religious denial of the about that deadly and destructive jihad entity doesn’t the fact about the horrendous make up of that horrific terrorist group ,Hamas.
In addition, it’s a god idea to examine at least one of the definitions of terrorism to better understand what terrorism is. . One definition of it is “The use of violence for the achievement of political ends which is common to state and non- state groups.”
Therefore, Islam with its Islamic terrorism actually fits within this definition. As difficult and hard as this might be for some Westerners, especially Americans, to comprehend and understand. For example, many Americans do strongly understand the concept of the “separation of religion and state.”
For Islam is a religious/ political /Sharia law based system that had total and complete control over the thoughts values , lives , behavior of millions of people around the world. This also included the use of violence to achieve the advancement of the power of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Quran does strangely instructs, as in Surah 2:191, 5:33. 9:5, 111, 47:4.
So the above definition of “non- state group” describes Hamas as well as Hezbollah, ISIS al Qaeda and so forth.
For the definition of “state” terrorism the rough state of Iran serve as good example, is Islamic terror state it inflected s on the Iranian people though is violent ruffians gangs of Islamic state “police” who are called the “Revolutionary Guards.” Furthermore , the state “mullah regime “ of Iran also funds ,supports and uses in violent and murderous Muslim stooge jihad groups as Hamas and Hezbollah to achieve its religious /political agenda . So indeed Islam is political and with its violence fits the above definition.
Islam is in essence, a religious /political Sharia law based system. As so well explained in brief way, by the Muslim tyrant who and ruled Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini when he stated that “All Islam is politics.” [1]

During the ARMENIAN GENOCIDE 2 Million Christian Armenians and Chaldean Syrians were slaughtered by the TURKS. It began in 1915 and continued until 1921, years after Turkey had surrendered and signed a ‘Peace Treaty’.

Thankfully ISRAEL (and Ukraine) have NUKES.

Westman says
By refusing to designate Hamas as a terrorist organization, It seems that Erdogan is implying that his troops would commit all of the same brutality, torturing, and mutilating as Hamas.
GE says
Of course they would. They did it before and they’d do it again. And just look what their buddies the Azeris just did to Artsakh.
What worries me is that Erdogan might try to interfere with aid ships leaving from Cyprus. The Turks illegally squat in part of Cyprus, so I wouldn’t put it past him to become aggressive and start some mess there.
Zeca says
No, unfortunately Ucraine doesn’t have nukes anymore. They signed a treaty with Russia exponsored by USA and UK giving up their nuclear weapons in exchange of Russia never invade Ucraine. The guarantee was that USA and UK would defend Ucraine in the case of war… In 2014 they took Crimea and nothing happened. This opened the gate for the actual war.
Brenrod says
The nukes belonged to Russia(USSR) and their bio labs, USA took them over and made promises not to expand NATO. We were the ones who aggressively expanded NATO to Russia
࿗Infidel࿘ says
They back ISIS as well, and nobody can make them qualify ISIS as a terrorist organization either!
Their membership in NATO is enough evidence, if any were needed, that NATO is a force for evil, and has been ever since the Cold War ended
somehistory says
Is there any mozlum-ruined nation that does not support terror? Are there any devout mozlums who refuse to act on their unholy book of demon filth and refuse to applaud other mozlums who commit terror in the name of islam?
No one who knows islam should be surprised by this mozlum dictator’s announcement. No one who knows the history of the dictator should be surprised that he approves of hamas.
James Lincoln says
Perhaps Erdogan is sharpening his “street creds” – just in case one of the Ivy League schools needs a new president…
abu taleb says
It is the same as acknowledging that muslims can rape, behead, kidnap people, including children, women and elderly people. But every body aready know that, doesn’t it?
Mike says
Q. How do you separate Turks like Erdogan (though not most Turks) from the boys?
A.With a crowbar!
Erdogan is a total ingrate! Following the devastating earthquake in Turkey last year, Israel and the Magen David Adom (similar to Red Cross and Red Crescent) sent a whole bunch of aid and food to Turkey. The Greeks have also helped Turkey in the aftermath of past quakes. Erdogan doesn’t give a damn about that though.
Brenrod says
Erdogan is not only refusing to recognize their terrorism, he actively gives the depraved terrorists sanctuary so they can avoid capture, he finances them and supports them diplomatically and militarily. We are allies with a nation that actively gives sanctuary to muslim extremists who have attacked our citizens. We went to war with afghanistan for doing the same thing: alqaeda attacks US citizens we declare war and occupy them for 20 years and get nothing from them for the resources we spent.

For the longest time, many theologians and bible prophecy teachers, have said that they believe Erdogan will be the Antichrist, during the coming soon 7 year Tribulation. Of course, there’s been many evil men, throughout history, that have been given the label of Antichrist. But today it seems that Erdogan has got the qualifications for this part, or the characteristics.
