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.
Today is a good day to remind you all that there was a ceasefire until October 7th, and we were not the ones who broke it.
There will not be a ceasefire, without the release of all hostages, and if you’re true humanitarians you’ll join us in that demand.
