Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is encouraging expressions of anti-Semitism in his country by espousing biased views and wholeheartedly accepting the Hamas narrative of the recent Gaza fighting, a senior Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Erdogan blasted Israel throughout the fighting, called on it to be barred from the UN, accused it of using white phosphorus against Gaza civilians and charged it with other “inhuman actions which would bring it to self-destruction. Allah will sooner or later punish those who transgress the rights of innocents.”<\/p>\n
Yet during the fighting, Erdogan “did not utter one word that placed even one percent of the responsibility for the conflict on Hamas,” said the Israeli official. “He has utterly adopted the Hamas narrative.”<\/p>\n
One example cited by the official of Erdogan’s alleged encouragement of anti-Semitic sentiments came in a January 13 speech to Turkey’s parliament in which, moments after he claimed to oppose anti-Semitism, Erdogan accused Jews of controlling the media and intentionally targeting civilians.<\/p>\n
