Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic supremacist pro-government Turkish newspaper targets Turkish Jews: “Go home killer”

Aug 15, 2014 2:05 pm By Robert Spencer

MilatTurkishJewsHere is yet another sign of the global increase in open and virulent anti-Semitism, and of Turkey’s rapid re-Islamization.

“Daily targets Turkish Jews in headline,” Today’s Zaman, August 14, 2014 (thanks to Joshua):

The pro-government Milat daily targeted Turkish nationals from the Jewish community who also hold Israeli passports in its Thursday issue by arguing that since Israeli citizens are required to serve in the national army, they have blood on their hands and are responsible for the killings of civilians in Gaza during an Israeli offensive that has led to over 2,000 deaths since July of this year.

Milat, a staunch pro-government paper that uses political Islamist rhetoric, used English in its headline, stating “Go home killer” in reference to Turkish Jews who allegedly serve in the Israeli army. The article stated that after Israel announced its recent military campaign, Turkish Jews who hold dual citizenship rushed to “massacre” Palestinians. The paper also commented that Jewish Turkish citizens involved in fighting against innocent Palestinians come back to Turkey and “resume their lives as if nothing happened.”

Milat based its report on a social media campaign launched by a number of journalists and activists with the hashtag #israilaskeriistemiyoruz (We do not want Israeli soldiers). A website under the same name urges citizens to sign a petition and send it to Parliament so as to revoke the Turkish citizenship of anyone who fights in the Israeli army on the grounds that they have committed premeditated murder. The petition also requests that the Ministry of Defense abolish an existing legal exemption regarding military service for people who carry dual citizenship and have served in the Israeli army. According to a 1993 law, citizens with more than one nationality are exempt from military service in Turkey if they have served in the military of a county that Turkey recognizes.

An anonymous call on the website rejects the idea of living in the same neighborhood as “murderers.”

Meanwhile, in his first address since being elected president, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Thursday that all minorities in Turkey live in peace under the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government. “There is no other country that displays the same degree of sensitivity that we show as far as minorities are concerned,” Erdoğan stressed, adding, “While all these events are happening in Gaza, we maintain that our Jewish citizens are under protection.”

Erdoğan added that their problem is not with the people of Israel, but its government.

    Riiiight, Armenians and other minorities unavailable for comment. If you deny the first holocaust, it’s hard to believe you’ll prevent a second.

    Erdogan: “our Jewish citizens are under protection”

    Nice business you have there. Wouldn’t want anything to happen to it.

    The more I watch Islam and it’s dhimma ‘protection’ the more I think the mafia got the idea of protection money from the days Sicily was controlled by Islam.

      Correct – as documented by Henri Prienne, Emmet Scott, and JOhn J. O’Neill.

      Islam didn’t “save us” from the Dar Ages; ISLAM CAUSED THE DARK AGES.

    Islamic supremacist pro-government Turkish newspaper targets Turkish Jews: “Go home killer”
    ………………………………………….

    “Go home”—never mind that Jews had lived in Turkey for well over a millenium before the Mohammedan hordes conquered Anatolia.

    This is like Muslims driving out Christians in Ninevah—where they have an ancient lineage—in the nearby Islamic State, telling them they can’t live “in a Muslim land”.

    Also: some here may not even have heard of Turkish Jews, and there is a reason for that: during the Armenian Genocide, *all* non-Muslims were targeted in Turkey.

    In 1922 the vibrant Jewish quarter of Smyrna was liquidated during the destruction of that Infidel-majority city. Most of the remaining Jews elsewhere fled or were killed also.

    The Jews remaining in Turkey today are just a tiny remnant—clearly one that is *still* not safe.

    And why would they be? Turkey is still Muslim-majority, and they have been further Islamizing under Erdogan for a decade now.

    More:

    “There is no other country that displays the same degree of sensitivity that we show as far as minorities are concerned,” Erdoğan stressed, adding, “While all these events are happening in Gaza, we maintain that our Jewish citizens are under protection.”
    ………………………………………….

    “Sensitivity”—what a sick joke. This, in a country that committed genocide against its religious minorities a century ago, and that is oppressing its Kurdish minority today.

    As for Jewish citizens being “under protection”—under Islam, this is term of dhimmitude. Being “under protection” in a Muslim state means being a second-class citizen *at best*, and at risk for pogroms and mass-murder at worst.

      Good points. All “Muslim land” is occupied territory if we apply their rules to themselves, absent the Arab/Muslim supremacist exceptions they carve out.

    I’m waiting for ISIS to start operations in Turkey. Then there’s a question: If they take over, will Obama be as friendly to the Caliph as he is to Erdogan? And, will NATO have a head-hacking division?

    Get out of Christian Anatolia. Go back to the Central Asian shit hole you came from.

      As we all know that is not going to happen even by force (unless nuclear weapons were used to defeat the Turkish Army – since we do not possess any) then I suggest you grow up and stop with the profanity and insults. Pathetic!

        Muslim genocide loving Turks wash their hands before they pray hoping to wash all the Christian blood on their hands away.

    What else can we expect from the land of the Armenian genocides. Few have murdered more Christians than the Turks, from Armenia to Vienna to Constantinople. And yes, the Koran is an accursed book.

      That’s a tough one…butchering muslim turks vs butchering muslim arabs. Same difference at the end of the day.

        and what do these Muslims have in common ???? Why the peaceful, tolerant and merciful Kumbya Koran followed by the zillions of ” love thy neighbour” Muslims living in your country.

      Thank you, Ashley …

      How scary. And it’s also frightening to know that obama has such reckless disregard for ISIS/ISIL and he won’t take more decisive military action against this terrorist organization. Gee one might think that obama *wants* this evil ISIL-CANCER to spread.

      I read the original article. perhaps you’re a bit sensitive. if I had dual citizenship in Turkey aand an “up and coming” islamofacist country I would leave. Perhaps you too have dual citizenship in a mulsim dominated country and in a Western democratic country . You also might consider leaving the WEST!

    The Turkish are divided two. The seculars who drink wine and the religious ones who vote for Erdogan. I don’t trust the religious ones they lie and pretend they are okay but they are not, they say things like it is wrong to murder non Muslims or men and women are equal but behind back they are negative towards non Muslims and women and many of them are immigrating to Western Europe.

    • paddy says

      Aug 16, 2014 at 8:59 am

      Ok Hussayin…well said. But why oh why does the Turkish government even need to tell its people that ‘it’s not ok to kill non-muslims’ or ‘men and women are equal’? Are the general population that stupid?

  9. paddy says

    Aug 16, 2014 at 3:19 am

    It’s been an overlying trait of muslims ever since they came marauding out of the arab peninsula…either vanquish the opposition and claim that civilization’s development as their own. The so called ‘golden age of islam’ was simply the translating of Greek mathematical, scientific and philosophical works into Arabic. The original ‘Turks’ did the same in the Anatolia. Or become a parasitic minority and eventually to out breed their hosts and screw up real civilisation from the inside as we are currently seeing in the

    Advice to the remaining Jews living in ever-more-Islamic Turkey: get out. Now. As fast as you can. Because barring a miracle, things are only going to get worse. Lots worse.

    Pack up and get out. Go to Israel. And if able-bodied and of fighting age, enlist in the IDF.

    • Hussayin says

      Aug 17, 2014 at 4:59 am

      Thank you dumbledoresarmy. I also think not only Jews but also other minority living there. If I was a minority I will try to immigrate South Korea, Japan, Israel, I don’t think I will like to go Belgium, France, Britain, Holland, Sweden because this countries are changing the people who don’t respect minorities in their own countries are immigrating to those countries and they bring their culture and beliefs with them.

    It was not only an Armenian genocide in 1915-24. It was a tri-genocide of Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians. All these people were Christians. It was estimated that Asia Minor (Turkey now ) was 20 to 30 percent Christian. It is now less than 1 percent Christian. What is happening in IS land happened already in Turkey in the early 20th century.
