| Turkey Governor Under Fire Over Museum Plan For Synagogue |
| 2014-11-25 |
| [IsraelTimes] A Turkish regional governor was accused Monday of inciting hatred towards the country's Jewish community after suggesting a synagogue be turned into a museum as a reprisal for Israel's policies over the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Dursun Ali Sahin, governor of the northwestern province of Edirne, sparked an outcry when he said Friday that the ancient Buyuk Sinagog (the Great Synagogue) built in 1907 under Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid should only be used as a museum. "While those bandidos blow the winds of war and massacre people inside Al-Aqsa mosque, we are restoring their synagogues," Sahin said. |
