Tell me again, why is Islamofascist Turkey still a member of NATO?
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatens to send military forces to invade Israel in support of the Palestinians, as he accuses Benjamin Netanyahu’s regime of doing ‘ridiculous things to destroy Hamas in Gaza.’
Daily Mail(h/t Nita) Erdogan said on Sunday his country might enter Israel as it had done in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, though stopped short of spelling out what sort of intervention he was suggesting.
President Erdogan, who has been a fierce critic of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, told a meeting of his AK Party: ‘We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these ridiculous things to Palestine. in the televised address, Erdogan added: ‘There is no reason why we cannot do this… We must be strong so that we can take these steps.’
AK Party representatives did not respond to calls asking for more detail on Erdogan’s comments and Israel did not immediately make any comment.
Erdogan’s comments come after he previously called on the Islamic world to take action against Israel. He said back in May: ‘I have some words to say to the Islamic world: what are you waiting for to take a common decision?’ ‘Israel is not just a threat to Gaza but to all of humanity,’ he said.
No state is safe as long as Israel does not follow international law and does not feel bound by international law,’ Erdogan added, repeating an accusation that Israel is committing ‘genocide’ in Gaza. He also called Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu a ‘vampire’ and accused him of killing ‘innocent civilians in their tents’.

Erdogan will likely be the one to re-establish the Ottoman Empire. His aim was 2023 which would have been 100 years since the fall of the Empire in 1923. However, Ataturk did not abolish the Islamic governance until 1924. We still have 6 months left in this year so keep your eye on him.
The Jewish Temple plans for rebuilding is possibly 2027 or sooner. I do not believe it has to be a brick and mortar building. It can be a tent to the specifications of the first one the Lord gave them instructions for.
The Anti-Christ, could be Erdogan will make a treaty with Israel. He will head up 10 nations who will eventually attack Israel under his guidance. The return of Yeshua, Jesus is very soon.
Stand with Israel, do not turn against her. Pray for Israel and her leaders.
As a Greek with long experience with Erdogan, I can recognize that this is his typical way of conducting things. He shouts out disproportionate threats and claims, and then, usually very soon, he retracts, playing the good guy and claiming that his previous attitude was just empty words of politics. The point is that he doesn’t go back to where he had started off, he always keeps some new ground. This is Turkey’s “salami policy”, you get what you want slice by slice.
If you look around Turkey, you will see that, in this way, little by little he has set foot all around (as he boasts in this clip about Libya and Karabach in Armenia). Also, remember the 40 km zone he got from Syria, the northern part of Cyprus, and the heavy influence in the Balkans and in Egypt,
What is not understandable is why Israel always goes back to Turkey and why the global community allows this ugly game to go on, to the suffering of people and to the advancement of Turkish imperialism once again after a break of less than a century, maybe only half a century, if you think that the Ottoman empire was dissolved in the 1920s and Cyprus was occupied in 1973.
Another thing is that many people [including a great number of Israelis] have the idea that the problem is Erdogan and not the Turkish mindset. But when Cyprus was occupied, it wasn’t Erdogan. When the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian genocides were committed, it wasn’t Erdogan.
This notion is because people don’t realize that in the first half of the 20th century, Turkey needed some time to stand on its feet, after the wars that lead to the fall of their empire, which empire had enslaved so many nations for so many centuries. But even so, the first half of the century was dominated by Attaturk, who was the perpetrator of the genocides, then in the 70s there was Ecevit and now Erdogan, who has managed to take the Turkish aggressiveness to a higher level.
I think people make the same mistake when they speak about a period of peaceful Islam. That period was again due to weakness, when Islamic nations were colonial territories of the British, the French and other Europeans, After they all gained their independence, in the 1960s [some of them earlier of course, but the 60s is the final milestone], and they managed to stand on their feet, we had the Iranian revolution, just in 1979, and then all the militant groups that were fermenting in the years of weakness started rising in the open.
I didn’t realize that about Attaturk. I thought he was the most moderate of Muslim rulers, getting rid of the fundamentalist Islamic system of government.
Yes, after I posted the comment, I realized I had to clarify this point.
Ataturk did not commit all the genocides I mentioned.
But before assuming the office of President in late 1923, he was an army man and through different alliances and different movements that were forming in the period that the empire was crumbling, he participated in different merciless wars, against other ethnic communities, such as the Armenians and the Greeks, with hundreds of thousands of dead. He and his allies were staunch nationalists believed in the creation of a “Turkey for the Turks” and wanted to “cleanse” the land.
He is considered a reformer and modernizer because he wanted a secular regime and not an Islamic. But he had a lot of blood on his hands.
(A very tumultuous era, difficult to put it in a few lines.)
Long gone are the days when pure-blooded European Roman Catholic Christians and, to a lesser extent, European Orthodox ☦ Christians decimated Turkish, Turkic, and Tatar Koranimals in thousands of battles and wars, chief among them being the First Crusade, the 1462 A.D. Night Attack at Targoviste, the 1475 A.D. Battle of Vaslui, the 1529 A.D. Siege of Vienna, the 1565 A.D. Siege of Malta, the 1571 A.D. Battle of Lepanto, the 1595 A.D. Battle of Călugăreni, the 1621-and 1673-A.D. Battles of Khotyn, the 1683 A.D. Battle of Vienna, the 1694 A.D. Battle of Hodow, the 1697 A.D. Battle of Zenta, and the Russo-Ottoman Wars, except for the 1850s Crimean War, in which the then-largely Protestant Brits ran interference for their Mohammedan pets!
