Yeni Şafak is one of Turkey's most popular newspapers, with a circulation of about 100,000 plus countless more online. It adheres closely to the ruling party AKP's politics and is heavily influential among President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's base.
It often spreads blatant antisemitism, but one article it published last week may have hit new depths in hate and incitement against Jews.
In this case, Hüseyin Likoğlu, the newspaper's General Publishing Director who is a frequent guest on Turkish talk shows, repeatedly refers to Jews as "perverted" as he blames Zionists for the Holocaust:
Perverted Jews have always been the pioneers of discord throughout history. The evils of perverted Jews are described in many holy texts, especially the Quran...The perverted Jews, who began their terrorist activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, were having difficulty establishing the Zionist state they dreamed of because they did not have a sufficient population, while they were slaughtering dozens of Muslims every day.Zionist Jews found a solution to increase immigration to the occupied Palestinian territories in a disgusting plot they set up with Hitler. Zionists enabled Hitler to massacre the Jews. Following Hitler's so-called genocide, thousands of Jews from Europe, especially Germany, migrated to the occupied Palestinian territories.
Yet as disgusting as this accusation is, Likoğlu is only getting started. He says the perverted, subhuman Jews are intent on killing every non-Jews and destroying the world, and must be eradicated before they can implement their scheme:
The genocide we are experiencing is not limited to Gaza. We are facing a planned perverted terror. Gaza is only the beginning, we are facing creatures in human form with a perverted belief that plans to destroy all Muslims and all non-Jews.The perverted Jews, who are dragging the world into a great disaster with the support of Christian Zionist-Evangelists in the USA, are the most fundamental problem not only for Gaza, not only for Palestine, not only for the countries in the region, but for the entire world. If humanity cannot win this war, the world will be destroyed.
He is saying that every human being is obligated to kill all the subhuman Jews before the Jews kill them.
This is Hitler-level hate.
If you have ever wondered how Nazi Germany could normalize genocide against Jews, we are seeing it in real time, today, from a major media outlet aligned with a NATO member.
