Roundup of recent, crazed Turkish media antisemitism

As has been the case for months, Turkish media continues to peddle the most extreme, hateful lies about Jews.Here are some examples from this past week:Yeni Akit:SosyalTV calls Jews "Hitler-like creatures." He accuses Israel and the US of knowing about October 7 ahead of time and letting it happen to give an excuse to mount a genocide of Palestinians.Yeni Akit also has a long...

Turkish media remains obsessed over Jews - and the thought that Israel will invade Turkey

A common theme in Turkish media is the absolute conviction that Israel is planning to attack and try to take over Turkey.I had found two separate "proofs" of this:1. A wacky Christian who hung around with Herzl suggested to him that the northern border of the Jewish state should be "the mountains facing Cappadocia." There is no indication that Herzl took him seriously.2. The...

Turkish magazine says the blood libel is real

This is a recent cover of a recent issue of a Turkish magazine, Gerçek Hayat. The title says "The Jewish era is ending."Here is another recent cover:"Child victims of the evil Jewish network."One of the stories in this latest issue says that the classic blood libel of Jews murdering gentile babies is not a conspiracy theory, but true:The first records of Jews sacrificing...

This week's insane antisemitism in Turkish media

As I've been documenting over the past couple of months, Turkish media is virulently antisemitic. It doesn't even pretend to be merely "anti-Zionist;" there is no distinction between Jews and Zionists. Here are some examples from the past few days.In Milat Gazeti, Muhammad Oskilinc - an Islamic cleric with a regular column inciting hate for Jews - writes:As the...

Turkish magazine openly calls for murder and ethnic cleaning of Jews. Not Zionists - Jews.

In Taba, Egypt, three Arab Israelis vacationing there got into an altercation with two hotel employees. But before the news was reported, there were rumors that six Jews were stabbed in Taba.Turkish magazine Baran Dergisi was very happy upon hearing that rumor:There is no longer any place for Jews in the world!Six Jews were attacked in a hotel in Taba, Egypt. The occupying...

Turkish site: Antisemitism is all the Jews' fault

For centuries, people have debated why antisemitism exists.A column in Turkey's Yeni Mesaj by Akin Aydin comes up with the answer:It's the Jews' fault! The real question that needs to be asked here is why Jews have been targeted so much since the beginning of their existence!Another question is how did those who believed that they were superior because of their...

Today's antisemitism in Turkish media

Ankara-based news site Baskent Postasi has this as one of their top stories:It starts off a being unsure whether Zionists of the US/UK are trying to control the world:Right now, the 'WORLD' is under the threat of global Imperialism and Zionism!.. Imperialist/Zionist Powers are working with all their might to take over the world as a whole and to be able to rule it from the...

Turkish media is even more antisemitic than Arab media

I've been looking at Turkey's news media lately, and it often makes even the worst Arab antisemitism look tame.You know how Arab newspapers say "Extremist Jews stormed Al Aqsa MOsque" when Jews visit the Temple Mount? Well, in Turkey today, the consistent headline was "Fanatic Jews raid Al Aqsa mosque."Note the subhead refers to the Israeli flag as "Israeli rags."One newspaper...

Turkey is inciting war against Israel - and Jews

Turkey's president Recep Erdogan declared today to be a national day of mourning in Turkey for the leader of a murderous, raping terrorist organization. memorial services for one of the architects of the October 7 pogrom were held in every one of Turkey's mosques. Turkey is still a member of NATO.Yesterday, Erdoğan told President Biden that Israel is working to...

Antisemitism in Turkey is just as virulent as in the Arab world

On Sunday, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan appeared to threaten to invade Israel.As with other anti-Israel statements out of Turkey, the Western news media rarely associates them with antisemitism. The narrative that Muslims aren't antisemitic, and only anti-Zionist, and antisemitism is regarded as anomalous, with Turkey insisting that the Jews were welcome members...

Antisemitic tropes dominate Turkish dramas; they even claim Jews controlled the crusades

Last week I reported on two dramatic series from Turkey that both cast Theodor Herzl in a role of the head Jew that aims to destroy the Ottoman Empire.Turkpress reports on other such series that include antisemitic tropes of Jews controlling the world's money - even as far back as the Crusades.A Jewish character named Ephraim in a drama about Saladin,"Conqueror of Jerusalem,"...

Two Turkish TV series where Herzl and other Jews conspire to destroy the Ottoman Empire

Al Jazeera Mubasher published two articles about a 2017 Turkish TV series that ran for five years, Payitaht: Abdülhamid, and another more recent one, Akif, both of which spin conspiracy theories about how Jews worked to destroy the Ottoman Empire.According to the articles, Payitaht: Abdülhamid depicts a huge Jewish conspiracy against the Ottoman Empire spearheaded...

Antisemitism in Turkey has skyrocketed since October 7

A new book has been published about the history of antisemitism in Turkey, which is manifest on both the political Right and Left. The German language book "Antisemitism in and from Turkey" is edited by Corry Guttstadt, whom you can see in this 2015 lecture about Turkish antisemitism and how Turkey created the fictional story of rescuing tens of thousands of Jews in the...

Incitement: Turkish newspaper claims 4000 Jews with Turkish citizenship are participating in "genocide" in Gaza

In October, a member of Turkey's parliament wrote on social media that she had submitted a question asking "How many of our citizens have gone to Israel from our country since the beginning of the conflict and the declaration of mobilization? How many of those who went have dual citizenship? Will they be stripped of their Turkish citizenship according to Article 29, Clause...

The sources of Erdogan's conspiracy theory that Israel wants to conquer Turkey

On Wednesday, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Israel would “set its sights” on Turkey if it succeeded in defeating Hamas.Speaking at the parliamentary group meeting in Ankara, Erdogan said: "Israel will not stop in Gaza, and if not stopped, this rogue state will eventually target Anatolia with its delusions of promised land."Turkey will "continue...
