Last week, the president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said "Turkey's history is free from genocide, massacres, oppression, and colonialism... In our thousands of years of glorious history, there is only justice and compassion’"
What a load of crap! I'm shocked no one is calling him out on it! Maybe they're afraid his nose will become so long it will poke someone's eye out.
Even if you ignore the fact the Ottoman Empire was basically a slaver robber empire for almost 800 years, modern Turkey alone is one of the bloodiest nations in history.
Before the creation of the Turkish Republic, roughly 1 in 4 people in Asia Minor were non-Turkish. Afterwards, 99% were Turkish. This was not achieved through justice and compassion!
Between 1915 and 1923, the Turks massacred:
- 300,000 Assyrians
- 500,000 Greeks
- 1,200,000 million Armenians
In 1923, they expelled 1.5 million Greeks, achieving near total racial and religious "purity." These are crimes that rival the scale of any genocide or ethnic cleansing in the 20th century.
Now let's talk about colonialism.
Even as we speak, Turkey is engaged in two large colonial projects; they are ethnically cleansing Kurds from Syria and Greeks from Cyprus, and replace them with Muslim settlers.
The Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 displaced as many 200,000 Greeks. About 120,000 Turkish settlers have since moved into their home. If that's not colonialism, I don't what is!
More recently, a Turkish invasion to Syria in 2018 displaced as many as 200,000 indigenous Kurds from the Afrin District. Almost 500,000 Arab settlers moved into their homes under Turkish guidance and protection. Tens of thousands of them are Palestinian Arabs, who are literally moving into stolen Kurdish homes.
Massacres, oppressions, and colonialism all rolled into operation. How efficient of the noble Turks!
Western leaders and the media are beyond pathetic for allowing the Turkish sultan to spew these lies without any pushback. And don't get me started on my own government!
Ignorance is the strongest weapon of evil and the Western elites are making sure it's well armed. If the suits won't fight back against the lies, then I will do it, because someone has to!

A Zionist Jew and anti-Zionist Jew walk into a bar.

Sending my condolences to France and the UK. You repeatedly condemned the IDF operations in southern Lebanon, only to find out tonight that Lebanon actually supports it to dismantle Hezbollah.

May you be spared further sorrow.

In Lebanon Palestinians are barred from professions and face major restrictions on property ownership.

And you know who doesn't care about or talk about this very real Apartheid?

The BBC
Sky News
The New York Times
Palestine Solidarity movements
Owen Jones types

Etc.

@BenOhrIC @Osint613 Including murdering 6 million Jews in the Shoah? What are you talking about?

BELGIUM: Brussels currently looks like a war zone.

This is the capital of the European Union. 88% of the population under the age of 20 is of foreign origin, and over half is Muslim.

What did Europe do to itself?

On This Day — May 31, 1834

114 years before the modern State of Israel, 1000s of Arab fellahin (peasants) & Bedouins — enraged by Egyptian ruler Ibrahim Pasha’s conscription law — stormed Jerusalem & unleashed hell on its ancient, defenseless Jewish community.

No “occupation.” No “settlements.” No Israel. No modern political Zionism. Just Jews living as subjugated dhimmis under Muslim/Egyptian rule.

On the night of May 31, ~40 men from the Bethlehem Fawaghirah tribe crawled through the sewage canals of Silwan, overpowered guards, and opened the gates from inside. Thousands of armed Arabs poured in.

The small Egyptian garrison fled to the Tower of David. The mob then turned on the Jews.

Eyewitness Rabbi Jehoseph Schwarz:

“The savage victors, men, women and children surrounded the markets and the streets and cheered with their strange catcall ‘loo, loo, loo’… At dawn, we looked through our windows and saw that the city was full of wild and cruel Bedouins… several homes had been devastated.”

Jews hid in caves and crevices. Homes and shops were plundered. Many were murdered in the streets. Women and daughters were raped.

A contemporary Western report (Plymouth Herald - below) described Jews left with “not a bed to lie on ... many were murdered, their wives and daughters violated.”

The mob was preparing to storm the Tower of David when rumor of Ibrahim Pasha’s approach sent them fleeing.

But Jerusalem was only the beginning.

Two weeks later in Safed (then the largest Jewish community in the Land, ~2,000 households), the pogrom lasted 33 days. Armed Arab villagers and locals:

- Murdered ~500 Jews

- Raped women in front of husbands and children, sometimes on Torah scrolls

- Burned more than 500 Torah scrolls — using them for horse reins, blacksmith aprons, and shoes

- Tore tefillin and tallitot for sashes and sacks

- Beat rabbis mercilessly, gouged eyes, and drove survivors naked into fields “like wild animals,” left starving for weeks

- Destroyed the only Hebrew printing press in the Land

No army. No state. Just defenseless dhimmi Jews — convenient, powerless scapegoats for an Arab revolt against the Egyptians (in which the Jews had zero involvement).

Pattern recognition matters. Long before modern politics, when Arabs held power over Jews in the Land of Israel, the impulse to humiliate, plunder, rape, and massacre Jews was already deeply entrenched.

Less than 24 hours after Hamas’ October 7 Massacre, the genocide placards were already printed.

The rest is commentary.

[David Collier @mishtal]

Ireland is an antisemitic nation that seeks to boycott Jewish goods.

And no - it is not about human rights. China one of the world's worst abusers of human rights is one of Ireland's largest trading partners - with no move to boycott them.

So Ireland is antisemitic. Pass it on
