Turkey

A Tale of Two Countries

frankfurt-jewish-mayor — Germany moves forward

Germany and Turkey, both have played big parts in human history, both were (a part of) past empires and both tied together in magic bonds. It was only last November that Turkish prime minister Erdogan went on the thin edge of humiliating German chancellor Merkel – and he did this on German soil, just to show how strong a Turkish can feel in current day Germany.

Germany is holding up much of Europe’s economy, the country seems like it would help anyone who asks it to, disregarding its own limitations. Turkey is desperately looking for attention, went to bed with Iran only to discover it does not want to be there, bullied Israel for a while and stepped back slowly and made war declarations on Assad’s Syria but did nothing to really push him out.

And today we learn of two news, one from each country, that clearly marks the growing gap between them as well as the relentless attempts of (some) opinion leading Turkish media people to go back in time to the happy days of the Ottoman empire.

Germany just added a young new Mayor to its ranks, he is Peter Feldmann and he is of Jewish origins, he is the first German who is of the Jewish religion since world war II, which marks once again the growing distance between modern day Germany to its calamity of the past.

Turkey had seen the day open with a shampoo commercial that uses Hitler as its promoter, clearly sending a nice fat wink to the growing devoted Muslims of Turkey, at the expense of Jewish feelings around the world. But this powerful demonstration of poor taste and clear insensitivity is not only aimed at Jews, because Hitler also thought that Slavs are below the master race, he also went ahead and murdered retarded and handicap of pure German origins, gypsies and homosexuals.

However the ignoramus fool who created this commercial disregards this, as will probably all the other nations, religions and peoples who have been butchered by the Nazis because it is sadly clear that anything coming out of a Muslim country today is poison filled anti Jewish sentiment.

Erdogan Builds a War Tower

ard-war — Looks like war, smells like war...

There is a risk that this whole thing is actually diplomacy, however if it sounds like war, looks like war and smells lie war, it’s probably war.

The prime minister of Turkey had his day in the sun today, his glory moment finally arrived when he went all out against his country’s old ally and friend Israel in front of the Arab League members, who are not to difficult to convince that this country is a problem.

Arriving at the very edge of war statements, Erdogan has promised acts of punishment and declared his nations anger with Israeli behavior, calling the flotilla event (which happened 15 months ago) “a cause for war” and sending his navy to park in front of Israel’s shores.

Now it looks like there is nothing more to do than sit and watch, unless someone wakes up and stops this madness. Erdogan makes it clear that he has now abandoned his enthusiasm for fighting for the Syrian people, his next door neighbors who are slaughtered for the past 7 months, and that he does not have enough with carpet bombing the Kurdish in the north of the country, he understands that his path to Arab glory passes through the armed confrontation with Israel.

Egypt’s Downward Slope

September 10, 2011 by Leave a Comment

There is nothing new in the middle east. Two days before Turkey’s prime minister visit to Egypt, the Muslim brotherhood welcomes him with open hands, joining in on the attack on Israel. The situation in both these countries (Turkey and Egypt) might seem very different, but they are actually similar, Egypt in the hands of the Muslim brotherhood and well on way to becoming a extreme Muslim state, Turkey is forcing its Ataturk secular leaders out of the frame, just as Erdogan’s plan starts to materialize, no more secular Turkey – and no more friends with infidels, no matter how much they helped in the past.

The official reason for the riots outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo in the past week has been the unintended killing of 3 Egyptian soldiers on the Israeli-Egyptian boarder when a full terror offensive took place at the area, the Israeli army shot back at the sources of fire and because of the proximity to the Egyptian army post the soldiers were killed. It is evident that the unfortunate death of those soldiers is not the reason for the riot, mainly because the riots near the embassy started as soon as the Muslim brotherhood understood it was on way to take control of Egypt.

That leaves us with the very simple and clear notion that Egypt is moving towards renewed extremism and wants to move out of its peace agreements with Israel, fantastically synched with Turkey’s aggressive measures aimed towards Israel, in a response to the unlawful flotilla of 15 months ago.

Jew hate is probably the best political target in the middle east, Erdogan is already fast becoming a pan Arab leader just for his hormonal challenging of Israel’s control over its waters, the Muslim brotherhood needs just that, a front man who follows the same rules and obeys the same laws and that could become a exterior leader to Egypt’s fanatics while the country itself will maintain a moderate look to the west.

And Israel? this country could have done more to avoid this situation, better use of diplomacy, which is in the hands of foreign minister Liberman, who is (mostly) secular but over paranoid and borderline racist “Israel our home” leader, some forward thinking could have either dodged the situation with Turkey or expose Ardogan to the west as a warmonger and thug, and the same kind of thinking could have created a healthier relationship with Egypt. However Israel is itself in a process of regression, which makes it even worst when you consider the outcome of these events.

A Bunch of Religious Issues in the Mid East

It is not even worth trying covering all of it, but in what might seem like a serious regression the whole area moves back to its religious fights, and it is not exclusively Muslim-Jewish thing, its only the continuous riots in Syria (yes, still going on, no one cares really) the suffocation of the liberal democratic revolution in Egypt by the Muslim brotherhood and much more, so here is just a taste of what is going on in that part of the world –

Title – Turkey Detains 40 Jews at Istanbul Airport, forced to strip, passports confiscated

(here is the link to the article) On the escalating situation between Turkey and Israel, now the Israeli diplomats have been expelled from Istanbul, and officials in the airport have harassed Israelis coming into Turkey (which is almost nuts, to bother tourists coming in to your country).

Title – Israeli Settlers Burn Mosque Near Nablus

(link to the story) The West Bank Jewish Settlers take advantage of the situation in the south of the country and the political system inability to deal with extreme Jews harassing the Arab-Palestinian population and torch a local mosque, adding graffiti in Hebrew on the walls, just to make sure everyone knows its a Jewish thing.

From Africa – Title – Youth Kill Family of 8 in restive central Nigeria (which should actually read “Christian Family of 8 Slaughtered in Nigeria”, link here)

nigiria1 — Killings on Both Sides in Nigeria

The bloody history of Muslims and Christians in this part of Africa does not let go, and it is becoming a bloodier present. This evergreen hatred between the two religions is now at a boiling point, with killings on both sides going on daily.

Shaking Regression in Turkey

September 5, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Turkey has been on (some) headlines for some time now, it does look like this great country is on a down slope, the only question is how and when will it stop. It starts with an ambitious prime minister who is close to Islam, who is a devote Muslim and who seems to have fantasies of time long gone, of the Ottoman empire.

Turkey’s prime minister Erdogan has been leading his country since 2003 helped the Turkish economy overcome monstrous problems and in the last few years has been focusing on strengthening ties with Iran and Syria, in what looks like an effort to become a significant leader of that region, maybe even the pan-Arabic leader.

Erdogan has lead a no tolerance policy in everything to do with the Kurdish people (who Turkey bombs and kills whenever diplomatically possible), the Armenian genocide (carried out by Turks from 1912 to probably 1923, murdering a million and a half Armenians within the territory of the Ottoman empire) and the ~~Jewish people~~ state of Israel.

While he instructs his ministers to not respond to any questions about Armenians and Kurds, he is more than happy to give his opinion on Israel. This country has been a close ally of Turkey for the last 25 years and had cooperated with it militarily and economically, however Israel has suddenly become an obsession for prime minister Ardogan, mainly the Gaza blockade and the treatment of Palestinians.

This could all be true and real, however it is very difficult to believe that Turkey is so shocked by an occupation of a territory, because Turkey is unlawfully occupying a part of Cyprus for the past 36 years. Treatment of terrorists who are in a autonomous region is something that the Turkish government regards as a free zone for bombing and deporting locals from, like it currently does with the Kurdish population, and talking about massacres and slaughters (which Israel is not, by any way, doing to the Arabs in or out of its country) is something the Turks know all too well from the Armenian episode. So why in the world would Ardogan make war like threats upon Israel on issues which he and his country has been ankle deep involved in for a much longer time than Israel?

Maybe because they are Jews, and the Palestinian topic is of everlasting interest on the Arab street and Erdogan thinks he could gain points on this. Maybe because the Turkish economy is losing altitude in an alarming rate and is about to lose major credit points on the global economical arena, or maybe as a Muslim the Turkish prime minister simply can not stand the Jews, could be.

Turkey is now said to be looking to partner up with the fastest fundamentalist around – Egypt, in what seems like the non stop dance for political points Erdogan is doing in the Arab world (failed miserably with Bashar Assad, the Iranians too).

So now we are on the doorstep of a physical confrontation between Turkey and Israel, while Turkey’s army just had four of its top general resign because of what they regard as a dangerous Islamisation of the country, which was transformed to secular by the spectacular Ataturk who revived the Turkish people. The prime minister has replaces those generals with his own people, who see things like him, and we are now about to find out if the major investments of the U.S. and Israel in Turkey will not come back to fight in the name of Islam and personal glorification.
