When a group intentionally attacks civilians, rapes them, kills them, tortures them, beheads babies, and this was all planned, that’s a terrorist group. Hence, the US, EU, and UN all designate Hamas as a terrorist group. It’s not surprising that Turkey, a Muslim nation, would take their side. Do we still want them in NATO?
Turkey’s Erdogan says Hamas is not terrorist organisation, cancels trip to Israel
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, in his strongest comments yet on the Gaza conflict, said on Wednesday the Palestinian militant group Hamas was not a terrorist organisation but a liberation group fighting to protect Palestinian lands.
NATO member Turkey condemned the civilian deaths caused by Hamas’s Oct. 7 rampage in southern Israel, but also urged Israeli forces to act with restraint in their response. Ankara has strongly criticised Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
“Hamas is not a terrorist organisation, it is a liberation group, ‘mujahideen’ waging a battle to protect its lands and people,” he told lawmakers from his ruling AK Party, using an Arabic word denoting those who fight for their faith.
Unlike many of its NATO allies and the European Union, Turkey does not consider Hamas a terrorist organisation and hosts members of the group on its territory. Ankara backs a two-state solution to the decades-old Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Erdogan also slammed Western powers for supporting Israel’s bombing of Gaza and called for an immediate ceasefire, the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and for Muslim countries to work together to stop the violence.
So, any of you Useful Idiots out there taking the side of the Palestinians, which is really Hamas’ side, you’re taking the side of hardcore Islamists, ie, Islamic extremists. Like these Useful Idiots
Richmond City Council passes pro-Palestinian resolution accusing Israel of ‘ethnic cleansing’
After more than seven hours of emotionally charged debate over what’s going on in the Middle East, the Richmond City (California. Go figure) Council voted 5-1 Wednesday morning to approve a resolution that recognizes the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing.
The pro-Palestinian vote came shortly after 1 a.m. The Chronicle reported that those who stayed to hear the end result chanted “Free free Palestine!”
And what, exactly, does that mean? Do they understand it means replacing the nation of Israel, kicking out/killing all the Jews?
The JCRC had urged Jews and their allies to flood the meeting to oppose the resolution, and tell the council that they feel “unsafe and scared, and this resolutions’ lack of empathy for Jews will only exacerbate the pain the community is feeling.”
“Hamas had a great night in Richmond, with five hours of chaos and unrelenting repulsive speech against Israel and Jews,” JCRC CEO Tyler Gregory said Wednesday morning. The council demonstrated profound ignorance and incompetence. Richmond could not bring itself to condemn mass murder against Jewish civilians and is not a safe place for Jews. There will be consequences for this taxpayer-funded circus.”
How many Jews live in Richmond City? How many will be moving and taking their taxes and businesses with them? It’s wild that Democrats so openly embrace an Islamic terrorist group and show their hatred of Jews these days.
Is anyone really surprised that President Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, a Muslim and NATO nation, would say, “Hamas is not a terrorist organisation, it is a liberation group, ‘mujahideen’ waging a battle to protect its lands and people”?
Turkey is the odd man in NATO, recipient of Western aid and brought into NATO to more thoroughly block the Soviet Union from expansion, and to close the Turkish Straits to Soviet warships. We like to pretend that Turkey is a Western nation, but it isn’t, and never has been. The country is a democracy, but the army retains considerable influence, while President Erdogan has tended to become more Islamist in what is supposed to be a constitutionally secular state. The country is technically an ally, but it ain’t a great one.
I suggest that we revoke all student visas for Turkish students in the United States until Turkey changes its opinion on Hamas. Obviously we cannot rely on Turkish documents to vet anyone wanting a US visa with regard to terrorism connections.
Simultaneously, we should arm and support the Kurdish people, who are clearly a “liberation group, ‘mujahideen’ waging a battle to protect its lands and people.”
It’s surprising that the newly minted MAGA House has yet to offer a bill to deport all Muslims to make America more secure.
It’s only a matter of time before an angry Muslim grabs an assault weapon and shoots up a restaurant/bar or a bowling alley. America even has Muslims in the US military receiving weapons training!!
Is the 12yr. old Rimjob trying to be cute making sarcastic remarks about murderers?
Really not funny or relevant, chubby.
Doesn’t the 11yr old Humjob have someone to fluff?
Too subtle, Humjob?
An Army reservist and firearms instructor, Robert Card, with recent documented mental problems took an assault weapon and shot and killed as many as 20 individuals at a restaurant/bar and bowling alley. Card had threatened to shoot up a U.S. Army National Guard base, and still had an assault weapon.
Card was known as a gun fanatic and “liked” tweets published by Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson and Dinesh D’Souza. He also liked tweets by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan. Card had liked a March post from Donald Trump Jr. following a mass shooting in Nashville that read, “rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullshit on our kids?”
Another tweet Card liked, from Tucker Carlson, reads: “The trans movement, it turns out, is the mirror image of Christianity, and therefore its natural enemy. People who believe they’re God can’t stand to be reminded that they’re not.”
He also liked a post from Dinesh D’Souza about banning assault weapons: “Ban assault weapons? Well, cars kill more people than guns do. But we blame the drivers. We don’t ban large or fast cars. We understand that cars, like guns, don’t act by themselves. The blame lies with the people who operate these mechanical devices. Common sense 101.”
(This ignores the pesky fact that assault weapons are specifically designed to kill humans and cars are not. Note too that D’Souza is considered a MAGA intellectual.)
Card posted on X “Mass murderer for a WNBA player great job keep up the good work,” responding to a post about a news story on Brittney Griner.
Do all these promoters of right-wing conspiracies have blood on their hands for encouraging these right-wing terrorists? The goals of terrorists are chaos and the resultant intimidation. “Change your ways or we just might kill you!”
