Turkey Accuses Israel of 'Ethnic Cleansing' in Gaza

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, saying the Jewish state's air raids could not be considered self defense.

"Israel is committing ethnic cleansing by ignoring peace in this region and violating international law," Erdogan said. "It is occupying the Palestinian territory step by step."

The infuriated premier said Israeli air raids against Gaza could not be deemed self defense, accusing Western countries of aiding what it called a "terrorist state" by condoning its violence in the Middle East.

"Sooner or later, Israel will answer for the innocent blood it has shed so far," he said.

On Monday, Erdogan said the United Nations "turned a blind eye" on Israeli attacks against Palestinians, accusing the international body of double standards against Muslims.

So I see that you are like another person I have exchanged comments with. Just because someone disagrees with your opinions then they are automatically Israelis or Zionists. Believe it or not there are millions of people around the world who disagree with your thoughts who are neither.
Oh, by the way, just for my information, what land has Israel made "Jew only"? The are more Arabs even in pre-1967 Israel than there are in Gaza.

Turkey is a colonial state, occupied part of Cyprus, swallowed Iskandaroun, refuse and proscute the Kurds for any self rule. Historically the Turkish tribes occupied and colonized Benzantium which was inhabited by the Greeks and spoke the Greek language. Now those tribes have an eye on Aleppo. The so called Arabs must refuse the Ottomans and their Sultans

Once again you go to show that the moment someone disagrees with your warped way of thinking they must be Israeli / Zionist.
In case yuo don't know there are millions of us around the world who watch TV Channels and read websites from all over, not just Al Jezeera, Al Kuds and Al Manar.
With regards the democraphics you contest please see the following from
Wikipedia :
The State of Israel has a population of approximately 7,933,200 inhabitants as of 2012.75.4 percent of them are Jewish (about 5,978,600 individuals), 20.6 percent are Arabs (about 1,636,600 individuals), while the remaining 4 percent (about 318,000 individuals) are defined as "others" (family members of Jewish immigrants who are not registered at the Interior Ministry as Jews, non-Arab Christians, non-Arab Muslims and residents who do not have a religious classification).

mowaten - would you like me to send you a copy of my British passport?

"what about those you expelled?" - What about the 850,000 Jews who were expelled from Arab States in 1948 and after. They also were "stripped of everything and kicked out only because of their ethnic belonging"
"those who remained were a tiny fraction" - so there were over a million and a half Arabs in the British Mandate before 1948. Just where did you get that statistic?
