Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday was at it again, releasing another scathing anti-Israel diatribe, stating that the “Jews in Israel” beat the innocent defenseless Palestinians, including women and children, and threatened to “teach them a lesson.”
Speaking to youths at a meeting of the Turkey Youth Foundation, the Turkish President added, “The Jews kick people when they are down on the ground. In fact, the Jews kick not only men, but women and children too. As Muslims, we will confront these people if they have courage to deal with us. We’ll teach them a lesson” Erdogan told Turkish youth at a meeting of Turkey Youth Foundation.”
Some explain this as being part of Erdogan’s campaign, as elections are to take place in Turkey in approximately three months.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded to Erdogan’s comments. “Erdogan, the occupier of Northern Cyprus, whose army massacres women and children in Kurdish villages, inside and outside Turkey– shouldn’t preach to Israel,” he said.

But then on Sunday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu responded by saying that Netanyahu is a cold-blooded killer, and responsible for massacres of thousands of innocent Palestinians, bombing children on beaches.
The occupier which kicks people lying on the ground is easily offended: @netanyahu is a cold-blooded killer of modern times, responsible for massacres of thousands of innocent Palestinians, bombing children on beaches. Turkey will never stop exposing the truth. pic.twitter.com/gr5NcDwO8S

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed last back at Erdogan on Sunday, calling him an anti-Semitic dictator.
“I was just exposed to the daily trolling of the anti-Semitic dictator Erdogan,” Netanyahu said at a holiday event for Christian soldiers of the IDF.
“He is obsessed with Israel. He knows what a moral army is and he knows what a genuine democracy is, as opposed to an army that massacres women and children in Kurdish villages and a state which, to my regret, is becoming more dictatorial day by day,” Netanyahu said. “He is obsessed with Israel. But there has been an improvement. Erdogan used to attack me every two hours and now it is every six hours.”

I know I’ll be criticized for this, but this isn’t an anti-Semitic rant. Erdogan is right.
How dare Bibi be mavazeh panim to one of the Trumpkopf’s best friends?? After all, he just fired his Secretary of Defense because he opposed the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria and allow Erdogan to assume responsibility for the war on Isis.
Erdogan is Drumpfs new friend. Drumpf tweeted that Erdogan promised him that he will finish off ISIS. Perhaps Drumpf has fallen in love with Erdogan just as he fell in love with Kim. Perhaps that is why he is allowing Erdogan to slaughter America’s Kurdish alloes.
“Jews in Israel” that Erdogan is desperate to do business with.
The maxim “believe half what you see and a third what you see” never applies more than in Middle-East politics.
Edogan IS a Nazi in disguise.
Edogan has got it all wrong. There are no innocent “Palestinians” , as they don’t exist- FICTION.
Be careful, this is rhetoric that promotes harm to Yidden. Even when the sheged is right we cant side with them, we all know what happens when we do. Say tehillim and forget about the Turks.
No ChiefShmendrik….we won’t criticize someone who endorses the words of a undisguised anti-semite. We will just ignore someone who clearly is not all there.
Erdogan is another Arafat but with only a mustache. He is part of the usual anti-Semitic Arab rabble that glorify themselves in calling Jews Nazis. Of course it is these Arabs who are the latter day Nazis. Do I bid a very humble parting shot to Erdogan and his ilk. Do us all a favor and DROP DEAD!!!
