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.
