Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan states below about Turkey’s rejection of Palestinian refugees: “We reject the policy of Palestinians’ being removed from their homes in Gaza and exiled into Egypt. We are fully against it and stand with Egypt.”
But Egypt’s real reason for closing its border with Gaza was to protect its security, as Jihad Watch reported HERE, even though Egypt also tried to disguise its rejection of Palestinian refugees as a principled means to keep Palestinians in their homes in Gaza.
Turkey also has reasons for its stance that are different from what Fidan is saying. While Turkey also pretends to care about Palestinians being killed, Turkey has displayed no regard for Muslim refugees. Turkey fortified 600 miles of its border with walls in order to keep Afghan refugees out, and was shooting down genuine refugees from Syria in 2016 and again in 2018.
The Armenian Weekly provides insight into Erdogan’s real views and motives:
Erdogan inherited from Ottoman Sultans the skill of walking a diplomatic tightrope. For centuries, the Ottoman Empire perfected the political art of seeming to be on both sides of conflicting powers. The Sultans sided with France and England against Germany and with Germany against France and England. The same policy is being pursued now by Erdogan, appearing to be on the Palestinian side, while maintaining multi-faceted relations with Israel. Similarly, Turkey is a NATO member while purchasing advanced missiles from Russia, which violates NATO policies. Amazingly, Erdogan is simultaneously the good friend of both Trump and Putin!
The prominent members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will continue to put on a show of unity for the West and make a display of caring for their Palestinian and Muslim brothers. But their deeper unity lies in hatred of Israel and the West, and the desire to establish a global caliphate.
“Turkey rejects exile of Palestinians, stands with Egypt,” Reuters, October 14, 2023:
ISTANBUL, Oct 14 (Reuters) – Turkey stands with Egypt in rejecting the exile of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in the face of Israel’s war with the Hamas militant group, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said alongside his counterpart in Cairo on Saturday.
Fidan, on his first trip as minister to Egypt, said it is important to act to stop the conflict from spreading and to re-start peace talks centred on achieving a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians.
“We reject the policy of Palestinians’ being removed from their homes in Gaza and exiled into Egypt. We are fully against it and stand with Egypt,” Fidan said.
“The loss of civilian life must be stopped regardless of which side they’re on,” he said. “We see that some states try to justify Israel’s attacks on Gaza as some sort of justifiable act. We invite Israel to stick to international law and humanitarian values.”…
Since war broke out, Ankara has launched diplomacy seeking to mediate the conflict, sent aid for Palestinians and slammed Israel’s call for Gazans to move south as inhumane and a violation of international law….

the so-called palestinians, are a tool, a weapon mozlums use to condemn Israel.
No mozlum state wants those who identify as “palestinian refugees.” Each nation calls for them to have their “own state” …which would mean for the “refugees” involved, taking all of the Land of Israel.
Just as pakistan doesn’t want the mozlums in India, and saudi arabia doesn’t want mozlums from iran, the “refugees” are on their own, except that hezbollah and iran will help them destroy Israel and chortle over the death, the carnage, the savagery.
turkey wants all of them to be bombed by Israel, just as hamas and Egypt want…because then they can increase their calls for the U.N. to act against Israel or “war crimes.”
John Smith says
Things have gone from bad to worse over there Somehistory, and sadly I can’t see it getting any better. Now this hospital has been hit in Gaza it’s given the muslim world the perfect excuse to unite against Israel.
There is absolutely no way the Israeli’s would do that, no way. But muslims wouldn’t think twice about committing such a heinous evil act. In fact I believe they purposely targeted that hospital and it wasn’t an accident.
somehistory says
John, I watched some news footage on the bombing of that hospital…run by a Baptist Church…and the Israelis have proven the source of the blast was the islamic jihad terror group.
After the murder of hundreds who were using the hospital as a safe space, the terrorists blamed Isarel, but others have acknowledged that Israel was not the source of the bomb.
Of course, like you say, all those mozlum nations are still saying it was Israel and their citizens will soak up and believe every word.
Psychopaths never acknowledge their wrongs, but point the finger of blame at others. And mozlums are expert at doing evil things, and then blaming others.
John Smith says
Yes Somehistory, as you have pointed out on several occasions many muslims are psychopaths. The majority of them weren’t born this way, but if you get nurtured from a baby to emulate a psychopath, this is what you become. They have no empathy whatsoever, and when they behead babies or committee the most evil of crimes they actually do believe they are doing something which is so benevolently divine. They really do believe evil is goodness.
I pray for those poor hostages they have taken, but I have little hope. Not when they are in the hands of psychopathic muslims.
somehistory says
John, I agree that there is little hope for the hostages. The terrorists can make videos and share them, claiming the hostages are all still alive even if they have murdered them all.
And we can only imagine the treatment they are receiving if they are still living.
We can still pray for them and hope for the best outcome, as you say so clearly.
Transmaster says
A palestinian is the Middle East version of smelly homeless bum in Los Angeles, the differences is their homeless camps number in the millions.
LeftisruiningCanada says
They aren’t all crazy muslims who want only death to the jews. There are many decent palestinian Christians in gaza and the west bank who hold no such views and just want to get on with their lives. I’ve been blessed to call a few of them friends over the years.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
How many Arab Christians are there in Gaza? I suspect that they all live in Judea and Samaria, and there too, their numbers are dwindling
LeftisruiningCanada says
For sure there are less Christians in gaza than the west bank, and there aren’t all that many overall. They are still considered palestinians though.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Too bad they aren’t so determined to keep millions of people from all over the rest of the world from transiting their country en route to the EU. And, as for Turkey telling another country to follow international law…well, that takes some chutzpah
GreekEmpress says
That’s for sure, LeftisruiningCanada.
The Turks rail at Israel for war crimes as
they help cleanse Artsakh of indigenous Armenians. And where are the cries from the west for that?

LeftisruiningCanada says
Turkey seems to get away with whatever crimes it cares to commit by the simple expedient of denying them to be crimes. Force Greeks off the harbors? no big deal! Murder Armenians by the million? Didn’t happen! Invade Cyprus? Whatever! Pour illegals over the borders to Europe? Pay us to stop!
born saturday says
the people that turkey shoots in the borders with syria are christian refugees who are not allowed to make any step towards europe through turkey…. generally the christians who try to run through turkey get blasted and killed in the proccess as this is a strictly islamic invasion we are speaking of and has nothing to do with refugees…. whether be it from syria the greek orthodox refugees who are the real victims within islam, or from armenia, the christian refugees do not dare make a step towards turkey to be saved….
instead, the mullahs of islam the jihadis and the trained foot soldjiers of islam penetrated europe….
so we cannot have the real refugees that are percecuted together with whom we share values standards and religion in europe…
who is behind all this mockery within europe?????
Gurek says
The issue of Christian refugees is because of the fascist EU. Did they said anything about the issue? They all are scared of Erdogan and thus are complicit. How many Christian refugees did they took in? There are some two thousand Greek minority living in Turkey. They are not safe most likely. Yet the West cries about racist Palestinian terrorists while turning a blind eye to the Christian persecution. All of the so-called Christian countries run by anti-Christian fascists who care nothing about Christians, that includes the USA. What can you say to a country that refuses to take Mexican Christians let in but let jihadi Afghanis to enter?
LeftisruiningCanada says
“All of the so-called Christian countries run by anti-Christian fascists who care nothing about Christians, that includes the USA.”
True enough. Canada has done the same regarding white South African farmers and others too. Anyone is welcome so long as they are not THAT kind of person.
Tapio Vaskirinne says
Perhaps they just want to push them to western countries. Immigration is part of Islamic civilizational warfare and it is part of their religious duty. Muslims are also always fighting other Islamic groups.
OLD GUY says
The migration invasion of muslims/islamic young men around the world has really increased over the past four years. Open borders is an invitation to the destruction of western civilization.
LeftisruiningCanada says
“Perhaps they just want to push them to western countries.”
Definitely. They use islamic wombs as weapons against the West from outside, and the wombs of european women as weapons once they make it to the West. Imams have preached this.
libertyORdeath says
So let’s see…the muslims attack Israeli civilians, then fall back to civilian areas to use retaliatory attacks as propaganda that a huge chunk of the West strangely believes.
Then they send more weapons to Israel and more money to both sides.
Then there’s a “refugee” crisis and the muslims refuse to take them in knowing the suicidal West certainly will.
This leads to even MORE money for leftist charities and NGOs, more money for jewish groups and NGOs, and more replacement migration for the West.
And they say the globalists want Israel to wipe Gaza off the map? Doesn’t look like it from my vantage point.
Jim says
Joe and Barry however will want to bring millions of Hamas and jihad sympathizers into the USA and let them go to work doing politics against Jews and Israel and the USA. Of course they will, that is how they are. They want to destroy America, and that is a good strategy. Joe is not going to change his policies to get reelected. He can count on winning through dirty tricks like in 2020.
