| Antisemitism in the Turkish Media: Part 1 of 2 |
| 2005-05-21 |
| Backround article a few weeks old, but still quite relevant. Long. Second part: "Antisemitism in the Turkish Media (Part II) - Turkish Intellectuals Against Antisemitism" The rising antisemitism in the Turkish media is a complex phenomenon that manifests itself in several forms: 1. Animosity towards Jews, Judaism and 'Jewish lobbies.' Jews are targeted as individuals, a community, people and "race," and as a sinister political entity seeking Jewish dominance on world affairs, businesses and media. Jews are demonized in many conspiracy theories including causing earthquakes, globalization, and the creation of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia. 2. A hostile approach towards the Jewish citizens of Turkey, questioning their loyalty; blaming them of treason and for the fall of the Ottoman Empire; characterizing them with derogatory adjectives; inciting the public by citing Koran verses hostile to them; and creating an atmosphere conducive to violence. [1] This type of antisemitism also targets Masonic lodges and freemasons for their alleged connections with Judaism. 3. Antisemitism that in recent years has turned into a harsh campaign, which some Turkish intellectuals have called "a witch hunt" against the 'Dönme' [2] who are regarded as 'hidden Jews' posing as Muslims. They are blamed for helping to found the modern Republic of Turkey as a 'spare' Jewish state, for holding all key positions' in Turkey and for ruling the country. 4. Antisemitism directed at Israel and Zionism. The word 'Zionists' often replaces the word 'Jews' in the press. |

| #1 Cheese and Crackers! I'm dizzzy. Its like a vitual hyper spin cycle of classic Muddled Eastern Double Think. First, there is the keeping of these two, distinct and incompatable thoughts simultaneously: a) they revere Hitlers Mein Chomph, (its a best seller) and ski on around and chant the Mantra saying Bush is Hitler and Death To America, only substituting Israel and the Joos for Bush and America, respectively, and then turn around and pay lip service, so santimoniuosly, to the horrors of National Socialism, for a pandering BM, "All people should read Mein Kampf, especially the Israelis, for it shows us how Hitler came to be. Be it Hitler's National Socialist deutche Argiters Partei, Stalins Soviet international gulag, Islamicist extremists, Imperial Japan, or Ward Churchill, for that matter, they all share one thing in common: they're all totalitarins; they all want to conquer the world, and subjugate the peoples of the world. -Exactly the thing they accuse the Jews and us big ol' "Crusaders" of doing in the oft repeated, incessantly chanted proverbial Big Lie of Joseph Goebbels. I guess the old former Ottoman Empire, and Autoban ally, has gone soft on the idea of perpetrating another Armenian genocide and has now swivelled their focus and energies in the direction of the state of Israel. With lots of help from the BM. thanks BM. |
