Welcome to Turkey’s Midnight Express.
This is unbelievable.
An Israeli football player, Sagiv Yehezkel, scored a goal for Antalyaspor, a Turkish team.
He made a gesture “100” for the Israelis who have been held hostage by Hamas for the past 100 days.
All hell broke loose:
- He was condemned by the national football association
- His team announced he was suspended
- Then they said he’d be fired
And to top it up, Turkish police has arrested him (!) and he’s undergoing interrogation.
Yes, for making this simple gesture.
This is Turkey 2024.
Shame on you, Turkish government.
