Turkey’s Erdogan: ‘No difference between the actions of Netanyahu and Hitler’; Bibi responds sharply
2023-12-28
Once again displaying exactly how much the subtle Byzantine mind of the Ottoman Turk has degenerated, the head of the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood bursts out in his usual mode in support of his Gazan Muslim Brotherhood brothers.
[IsraelTimes] Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions over Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
are "no different" from those of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler
...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like...
, the official Anadolu Agency reports.

It is not the first time Erdogan has compared Israel to Nazi Germany, and in July 2014, the Ottoman Turkish president accused Israel of "keeping Hitler’s spirit alive" during a war with Gaza.

Erdogan has massively stepped up his criticism of Israel during the current war. He has also asserted that Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
is not a terrorist organization.

Israel recalled its diplomats from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
in October after Erdogan accused Israel of committing war crimes. Turkey later also recalled its ambassador from Israel.

Israel was a long-time regional ally of Turkey before Erdogan came to power, but ties imploded after a 2010 Israeli commando raid on the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara ship, part of a blockade-busting flotilla, that left dead 10 Ottoman Turkish activists who attacked IDF soldiers aboard the ship.

Relations between the two nations have been up and down since then.

In late September, Erdogan met with Netanyahu in New York for their first known sit-down and the two enthusiastically discussed avenues of cooperation. At the same time, Turkey maintains deep ties with Hamas, the terror group that carried out the devastating October 7 assault in which some 1,200 people were massacred in southern Israel and around 240 kidnapped to Gaza and held hostage.

PM hits back at Erdogan over Hitler comparison; Gantz slams ‘desecration of the Holocaust’s memory’

[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claps back at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for claiming Israel’s actions against Hamas terrorists in Gaza are “no different” from those of Nazi German leader Adolf Hitler.

“Erdogan, who is carrying out a genocide of Kurds and holds a world record number of journalists opposed to his rule in jail, is the last to preach morality to us,” Netanyahu says in a statement, repeating a phrase he used in previous spats with Turkey’s leader.

“The IDF is the most moral army in the world, which is fighting and eliminating the most despicable and brutal terror organization in the world, Hamas-Daesh, which committed crimes against humanity and Erdogan praises it and hosts its senior officials,” the premier adds.

War cabinet minister Benny Gantz also slams Erdogan, saying his remarks “are blatant distortions of reality and a desecration of the Holocaust’s memory.”

“Hamas was the organization that perpetrated a despicable massacre. Removing the threat of Hamas from the citizens of Israel is an existential necessity and an unparalleled moral imperative,” Gantz says in a statement issued in both Hebrew and English.
