The Palestinian jihad against Israel is not confined to the Palestinian territories. It is a longstanding Islamic goal to obliterate the Jewish State, the only democracy in the Middle East. After Israel declared independence in 1948, it was attacked by Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq; Saudi Arabia sent a contingent that fought under Egyptian command. And now Turkey is stepping up its antisemitic rhetoric against Israel. Beyond calling for BDS (boycotts, divestment, sanctions), its leaders are allying with Iran in the Islamic Republic’s call for the destruction of the Jewish state.
“Kadir Arakas, the chairman of a Turkish-Shi’ite association, said ‘resistance in Palestine is important’ during the ‘weakest period of Israel’s history.’ Arakas urged that no Islamic country reach agreements with Israel or work toward closer relations with the Jewish state.”
Iran’s Ayatollah Mohsen Araki — who served as the personal representative for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in London – also spoke at the event. Araki was quoted as saying in 2015 that the “annihilation of the Zionist regime is a sure thing and Quranic pledge.”
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also stated in July that “whoever is on the side of Israel, let everyone know that we are against them.” Erdogan accused Israel of state “terror” against Palestinians, and he is now also pushing for Turkey to have have nuclear weapons “like Israel.”
“Call to Destroy Israel at Islamist Conference in Ankara,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, September 22, 2019:
Ankara hosted a pro-Palestinian conference last week that featured radical Islamists who urged the obliteration of the Jewish state and advocated the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign targeting Israel.
“Israel must be dissolved and destroyed,” said one speaker, according to a report in the German daily Die Welt.
Speakers also urged boycotts, divestments and sanctions (BDS) against Israel at the event titled “Congress on the Future of Islamic World and Palestine.”
Kadir Arakas, the chairman of a Turkish-Shi’ite association, said “resistance in Palestine is important” during the “weakest period of Israel’s history.” Arakas urged that no Islamic country reach agreements with Israel or work toward closer relations with the Jewish state.
He did not define “resistance” but the meaning of the word for Iran’s mullah regime and its chief proxy, the Shi’ite movement Hezbollah, is violence against Israel. “If we want the liberation of al-Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem], we have to help the mujahedeen,” said Arakas.
The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ayatollah Mohsen Araki also spoke at the event. At a conference of Islamic clerics in Beirut in 2015, Araki supposedly said that “annihilation of the Zionist regime is a sure thing and Quranic pledge.” The pro-Iranian Taghrib News Agency reported on Araki’s genocidal antisemitic remarks. Araki served as the personal representative for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in London.
Araki is the secretary-general of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought. The Iranian regime’s state-controlled news agency AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA) reported that the conference was “organized by the Saadat Islamic Unity Research Center in Turkey” and “brought together more than seventy foreign guests from 20 countries.”
ABNA, based in the holy city of Qom, focuses its coverage on Shi’ite communities across the globe.
According to ABNA, the conference held the following panels: al-Quds is the Most Important and Fundamental Issue of the Islamic World; Islamic Unity: The Muslims’ Only Way for the Future; The Impact of the Palestinian Issue on the Islamic World and the Responsibilities of the Islamic Ummah; World Status and Issues of Islam, Problems and Solutions; and Concerning the Greater Middle East Plan – Deal of the Century Agreement, Its Goals and Supporters; and Conditions for Implementation of the Islamic Unity Plan.
ABNA wrote that Araki told the The Islamic Republic News Agency that the congress is “very effective in the present time and said that at this juncture when the enemy is trying to marginalize the Palestinian issue, this conference can once again raise the Palestinian issue to the public opinion and the Muslims.”…..

Walter Sieruk says
No well informed person should be surprised that the heads of the government of Turkey taking a firmer and more hostile stand against the Jewish State of Israel .
When Erdogan , who is the President of Turkey declared “Whoever is on the side of Israel ,let everyone know that we are against them.” This then by those words “against them.” Likewise must mean against him of her ,as an individual, who for the State of Israel
This must thus mean that they are also against Him. Who is God for being on the side of the Israel for being for Jewish State of Israel. As it is written in the Bible, “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.” Psalm 135:4. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, the Jewish people have every right to all of that land that in now part of Israel, , including the West Bank and the Golan Heights by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:48, 49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4.
In addition the Jewish people should also have that land by historic rights. As found in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
Moreover Erdogan must then also be against President Trump This is because President Trump had wisely said “It’s time to officially recognize [the reality of] Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.” Yes, indeed, it’s very much time to recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel, and he then acted on his word and he had done so by good decision of moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem .This bold and wise decision of President Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem has greatly offended many of the Muslim clerics . Be they, for example, the imams of Pakistan or the mullahs of Iran. Those Muslim clerics with their mind control and their unconscionable ways they manipulate the people from the mosques to be their stooges into a, violent uprising, because of the President’s decision is despicable . Some people of the left will say that the decision of move the US embassy to Jerusalem is “provoking” and it will “incite violence.” This only shows the old saying to be true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse. “ The fact is President Trump made the right decision and if the Muslim clerics don’t happen to like it ,well then it’s “tough beans.” to them
As the Bible informs its readers “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem … the Lord will be the hope of His people ,and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16.

Well so much for the Cairo Declaration signed by Muslim leaders back in 1989 and it’s supposed noble Human Rights declarations – Turkey obviously does not honor the human rights of Israeli’s!
Islam – “religion of Peace” – no way!
Kadir Arakas’s statement is inciting Muslim’s to violence = Hate Speech!

Turkey has a history of not honoring human rights, period. Ask anybody of Greek, Armenian, or Chaldean descent. Or the people of Cyprus who they invaded in the 1970s.
gravenimage says
Barb, the “Cairo Declaration of Human Rights” is actually titled the “Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam”. It was written to oppose the UN Declaration of Human Rights. It is all about Shari’ah and the spread of Islam by any means necessary, not about human rights at all.
mortimer says
Further to GI on Cairo DHR (1990) : From the Statue of the OIC Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission:
Preamble: Pursuant to the provisions of article 5 and article 15 of the Charter which
stipulate that: “The Independent Permanent Commission on Human Rights shall
promote the civil, political, social and economic rights enshrined in the
Organisation’s covenants and declarations and in universally agreed human
rights instruments, in conformity with Islamic values,”
Article 8: The Commission shall seek to advance human rights and serve the interests of
the Islamic Ummah in this domain, consolidate respect for the Islamic cultures
and noble values and promote inter-civilizational dialogue…
…………………………..
The wording of Islamic texts on human rights start by agreeing with ‘international’ codes of human rights … but we must read the FINE PRINT to see that they are in fact only concerned about the rights of ‘the Islamic Ummah’, and not about the rights of the dirty kufaar … whom they hate ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Muslim human rights give with one hand and then remove it all with the other hand. Like a magic trick … now your see your rights, now you don’t.
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer. These rights only pertain to the Ummah–in other words Muslims.
P. Douglas says
Funny, I feel that Islam needs to be ERASED! Just so the rest of us may live in PEACE.
mortimer says
PD: that is why we support Jihad Watch and organizations like it that expose political Islam. Millions of Muslims are leaving Islam every year and the tempo of their departure is increasing.

SAFI says
Nazi Germany modeled the Holocaust on the Armenian Genocide
A little known fact that has intentionally been ignored is that Turkey and Ataturk had in fact been a very big inspiration on Hitler, more so than Mussolini even, as German historian Stefan Ihrig has convincingly argued.
https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674368378
Kemalist Turkey had kept very close ties with nazi Germany throughout the inter-war period and during the war until the very end of the nazi regime’s existence. Despite common false western perception of Ataturk as a “secular” hero it can easily be argued that no one did more than Ataturk and the “kemalists” who succeded him to turn Turkey into a country that is now 100% muslim. Kemalist Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Ataturk himself had been perpetrating horrific anti-jewish pogroms (with Ataturk’s full approval) well before the nazi regime launched the Kristallnacht
http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-1934-turkish-pogrom-against-jews.html
Unfortunately the West has consistently tried to white-wash Turkeys gruesome 20th (and early 21st) century history and replace it with some sort of complaisant “ataturkist” fantasy of a tolerant democracy (that’s never existed in Turkey, least of all under Ataturk) in order to promote and justify turkish participation in western power structures such as NATO or the EU. An extension of this whitewashing policy is hiding the truth about Hitler’s admiration for Ataturk and the turkish regime.
Of course the nazi-turkish appreciation is mutual meaning the Turks are also inspired by the nazis not only back then but now also. Hence why Mein Kampf remains a perennial best-seller in Turkey to this day (along with the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and other anti-semitic literature.) Or why Erdogan admitted just a couple of years back that he’s trying to model his regime after Hitler’s.

God promised Israel and much more than today’s size of Israel to the Jewish people. This was over 3,000 years ago. The land belongs to the Jewish people. Palestine was not a country until 1964, AFTER the Jewish Israel was reinstated as a country. Turkey is the interloper. Along the way Turkey occupied Israel. Israel bought some of its present land from Turkey, but not all of it. Mohammed came after Jesus. Therefore Israel has claim to the Temple Mount. They had first ownership. Jerusalem was the only city in the world that has been designated by God. Trump’s act of moving the embassy to Jerusalem was more monumental than most people realize. It was set by God in Revelations. The end times are in process now. God brought his people back to Israel in the last century. The land was barren, and has no natural resources, except a bit in the Dead Sea. Turkey didn’t care much about Israel when it was barren, even selling land back to the rightful owners. Now Israel is lush with green fields full of some of the best produce that can be found. NOW Turkey wants Israel. Duh! God’s will be done. God has always wanted all his children to be closer to him. No wonder the Muslims are so angry. They do not experience God’s beautiful love full of mercy or grace. God always keeps his promise. People are weak and do not follow faithfully, hence all the world problems today. All we have to do is pray for Israel. When we are faithful, God will defeat our enemies as David, Gideon, Jehosephat, and many more experienced. Please pray for Israel!!
