Fowl: Prime Minister Of Turkey Claims ‘Israel Is A Terrorist State’ And Is Guilty Of The ‘Mass Killing Of Muslims’

Yes, this is the same Turkey that is held in high regard within the Muslim world as “a useful model for new Arab regimes” who even regards Hamas as a “supporter of democracy [that] is willing to live in peace alongside Israel.” Self-delusion is not only confined to “radical” Islamic clerics and teachers. It also permeates the upper echelon of Islamic society. Fowl, indeed …

“(Reuters) – Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan described Israel on Monday as a ‘terrorist state’ in carrying out its bombardment of Gaza, underlining hostility for Ankara’s former ally since relations between them collapsed in 2010.

His comments came after nearly a week of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel and Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip. An Israeli missile killed at least 11 Palestinian civilians including four children in Gaza on Sunday.

‘Those who associate Islam with terrorism close their eyes in the face of mass killing of Muslims, turn their heads from the massacre of children in Gaza,’ Erdogan told a conference of the Eurasian Islamic Council in Istanbul.

‘For this reason, I say that Israel is a terrorist state, and its acts are terrorist acts,’ he said.

Ties between Israel and Turkey, once Israel’s only Muslim ally, crumbled after Israeli marines stormed an aid ship in 2010 to enforce a naval blockade of the Palestinian-run Gaza Strip. Nine Turks were killed in clashes with activists on board.” Read more.

While Trying to Mediate, Egypt Blames Israel for Gaza Conflict – “In Egypt’s most concerted effort to win more global public support for the Palestinians, advisers to Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who has been an outspoken supporter of Hamas, invited foreign correspondents in Cairo to a background briefing at which a senior Egyptian official sought to blame Israel for the conflict while at the same time maintaining Egypt’s role as an intermediary pressing both sides for peace.” Read more.

Flashback: Turkey Slams Israel, Hails Hamas as a ‘Supporter of Democracy’ that is ‘Willing to Live in Peace Alongside Israel’ – “Turkish president Abdullah Gul on Sunday said Israel should take advantage of the changes in the Middle East to achieve peace with the Palestinian Authority and the entire Arab world, the Turkey-based Today’s Zaman reported… ‘As the democracy in the Middle East grows, Israel will eventually have to stop the violence in ‘Palestine’’, he was quoted as having said. Gul also claimed that Khaled Mashaal, head of the Hamas terror group, is a supporter of democracy and is willing to live in peace alongside Israel.”Read more.

    Turks are not Arabs, and the Arabs do not view the Turks as orthodox Muslims.

    Actually, the Turks are more hostile to Israel than the Arabs are. Qatar and Saudi Arabia support Israel, although they won’t admit it publicly.

      Erdoğan Given Rapturous Reception in Egypt – “Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continued to make threats against Israel on his arrival in Cairo last night, resulting in a rapturous reception by the crowds. He was surrounded by Egyptian supporters after disembarking from his plane at the airport.

      Using a prepared amplifier system, Erdoğan spoke to the crowd in Arabic, saying, ‘Salaam aleikum, Egypt and Turkey are one. Peace to the Egyptian people.’

      Erdoğan was received by Egypt’s acting Prime Minister Essam Sharaf and his wife.

      The welcoming crowd included many members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which supports Hamas. Supporters along the road into Cairo carried Erdoğan’s picture and shouted, ‘Egypt and Turkey will together become an Islamic Caliphate’, and ‘Erdoğan, who angers Israel will liberate Palestine like Saladin.’” (Source).

      Israel Hits Back at Turkey as Tensions Soar, Foreign Minister Says Erdogan is a ‘Radical Islamic Extremist’ – “The Turkish leader ordered the termination of extensive defence contracts and other dealings with Israeli firms and recalled his ambassador to Tel Aviv. He also threatened to send warships to dispute Israeli claims to gas-rich underwater tracts in the eastern Mediterranean. No less ominous were his warning to send warships to protect Turkish aid vessels running Israel’s blockade of Gaza, an almost certain scenario for war, at least at sea.

      In a tour of Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, his attacks on Israel were a central feature of all his talks.” (Source).

      While many Arabs may not have viewed Turks as “orthodox” Muslims in the past after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s imposition of a secular republic, the Turkey that is rising today is once again embracing — and promoting — its Islamist roots.

    It is the same Turks who killed over a million Armenians and how many Kurds
