Last week, the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv tweeted Chanukah greetings:
Sharing the joy of #Hanukkah with the Turkish Jewish community, we wish it brings peace for all. #hagsameach / İsrail’deki Türk Yahudi toplumunun Hanuka bayramini kutlar, barış ve huzur getirmesini dileriz. pic.twitter.com/Q8HCi68Rt0— Turkish Embassy TA (@TelAvivBE) December 14, 2017
Nothing about Israel, just greetings for Chanukah.
The responses that came in Arabic are nearly all insulting, because acknowledging a Jewish holiday means, to many Arabs, being pro-Israel.
So responses ranged from standard insults to things like this:
Arab media is covering this without any hint of their usual meme that Jews are good, Israelis are bad.
Clearly, these Arabs haven't received the memo that they supposedly love Jews and hate Zionists.
