Jews in Turkey under attack, Israel closes diplomatic missions in Turkey

10

This is what happened to “moderate” Turkey when the would-be caliph Recep Tayyip Erdogan systematically dismantled the Ataturk era, and bestowed upon himself unlimited power to impose Islamic rule.

If Europe allows Turkey EU membership, Europe is done (if it isn’t already).

Israel closes diplomatic missions in Turkey, staff works from home

World Israel News, July 24, 2017 (thanks to Mark):

Israeli diplomatic staff in Turkey are working from home amid rising security threats over the Temple Mount crisis and Erdogan’s hostility towards the Jewish state.

Two threatening demonstrations and mounting cases of vandalism against synagogues in Turkey—apparently carried out with the regime’s tacit support against the backdrop of the Temple Mount crisis—are raising concerns among the country’s Jewish community.

On the night between Thursday and Friday, dozens of demonstrators attacked the Neve Shalom synagogue in Istanbul, threw rocks at the synagogue, kicked its doors and tried to break in

Jews in Turkey under attack over Temple Mount crisis

Ynetnews.com, July 24, 2017:

Two threatening demonstrations and mounting cases of vandalism against synagogues in Turkey—apparently carried out with the regime’s tacit support against the backdrop of the Temple Mount crisis—are raising concerns among the country’s Jewish community.

On the night between Thursday and Friday, dozens of demonstrators attacked the Neve Shalom synagogue in Istanbul, threw rocks at the synagogue, kicked its doors and tried to break in.

At the entrance to the synagogue, a local leader of the Great Union Party, Korsat Michan, spoke out and accused Israel of “harassing our Palestinian brothers and damaging their freedom of worship.”“Either the Zionists get a grip, or we will come back here again,” he said.

Some protesters shouted, “If you do not let us enter our holy place, we will not let you enter your holy place.”

As protesters kicked the doors of the synagogue, two demonstrators climbed up the building and hung signs with pictures of the Dome of the Rock.

The Jewish community was stunned that the police patrol car—which regularly protected the synagogue as it is a target for terror attacks—had left the area shortly before the demonstration started.

On Saturday, the ancient 15th century Ahrida synagogue in Balat, Istanbul was also attacked. As in the first case, the police car also left before the demonstration began, and the demonstrators charged the synagogue, blocking entry and chanting anti-Israel slogans.


The fact that the police left the area in both cases may indicate that the demonstrations were held with the quiet consent of the authorities, which made it possible to “let out steam” against the Jews.

On Saturday, the Jewish community tweeted about what was going on near the synagogue and even tagged the Turkish prime minister and interior minister in their tweet, calling them to put an end to the phenomenon. The community then issued an official statement demanding that the authorities stop the attacks against it.

Erdogan needs to be hauled to GITMO and tried for war crimes.

Hopefully the successor isn’t worse.Violent Islamic resurgence is what we are witnessing–probably due to ISIS having escaped everywhere.I can’t believe they will all be fighting till they are killed.Most of their top people must be elsewhere with many Muslim nations supporting them.All lame excuses such as Temple Mount Crisis just used to justify criminal actions.The State security apparatus has to shield the Jews or any other religious or ethnic denomination.

Attacks on non-Moslem Turks and ethnic minorities in Turkey have gone on for CENTURIES. Of course the Erdogan government has suborned these “spontaneous demonstrations.” Erdogan is rapidly evolving into a Halal version of Adolph Hitler.

So delusional, its all about some land and buildings in Israel ! When they start cutting their heads off, they will still be looking for ” PEACE PARTNERS ” ! With sorass and the other jihad supporters, making Europe and the United States ‘ JUDEN FREI ‘ ! The Jewish people need to support the ANTI jIHAD MOVEMENT or else !

The sooner the al aqsa mosque is turned into gravel for a shopping centre parking lot, the better, it is a scab that muslims keep picking at to make sure it festers for ever.

NO surprises here.

It seems to me wherever there are Moslems there is trouble. Why can’t the world see it that way?

As bad as it was that muslums in Turkey blew up two synagogues on the same day in Istanbul killing 26 people in 2003, it was worse that the most of the sentences of the conspirators was under ten years and I believe all the perps have already been released from Turkish prisons. Pogroms, genocides and ethnic cleansing were features of Turkey throughout the 20th century. If that’s the definition of secular I think I’ll pass.
