They are still striking.
Israel is mercilessly hitting civilians, women, and children.
Meanwhile, the world is observing.
Arabs are included.
At least against this violence, Turkey became one body. While talking about the massacre; foreign affairs is using harsh, clear and righteous words, political parties are releasing mutual pronouncements, university rectors are making mutual statements, the media is acting responsibly. Meanwhile, efforts of using foreign policy as a tool for domestic politics is lower compared to yesterday.
Being a human, requires being able to see and react.
Let us underline:
What"s important is not being Turkish, Arabic or Muslim…. What"s important is being human…
Only being human…
A tyrant is a tyrant anywhere, in any culture, in any race.
If there is a mental connection between the tyrants, then there is a political affinity between the resistant. Thus, the Jews, who had suffered under Nazism in the ghettos of Warsaw, are in the same ranks with the Palestinians, who are being stroked by Israel"s savagery in the ghettos of Gaza today.
The ones, who were resisting against Nazism in Warsaw, and the ones, who are resisting against fascism in Gaza today, are the carriers of the same freedom struggle in the eyes of history.
How can a German and a Nazi, Italian and a fascist, Jew and a Zionist, Turk and a unionist be the same?
Let"s carefully read the following sentences written by a Jewish professor Prof. Dr. Rolf:
The "Death to Jews" slogan of those days is the same with the "Death to Arabs" slogan of today.
The motives are matching up one-on-one: National hatred, religious obsession, anger towards resistance and the pleasure taken from the massacre. At the beginning of 2000:, I had written my article named "Bad, bad neighbor Gaza" with the occasion of the most bloody genocide ever implemented until now. Unfortunately, that article is still protecting its actuality. I had written as such: "Israel I am addressing you: The neighbor gone fishing, they had forbidden it. They had factories, they had been bombed. The neighbor was doing agriculture, they had ruined it. The neighbor had an airport, they had destroyed it. After all, bad neighbors won"t have anything to do with airports. The bad neighbor, whose job is only firing bullets, shouldn"t catch fish, work, plant or travel. That bad neighbor should keep on firing so that they can reply with fire."…"
Now let"s turn the needle towards ourselves…
Remember what the minorities experienced in this country, what prices did we have discrepancies pay?
There is Dersim, there is Sivas, there is Maras, and there is the Diyarbakir prison…
There is 1915, there is the 6-7 September, there is the Wealth tax, and there are the 1934 Thrace incidents…
We called them traitors, rebels, collaborators, black marketeers, terrorists, parasites… We hurt them and didn"t come near confession.
Why am I writing these sentences?
Because of being unable to see that the responsibility of Israel"s attacks is directed towards Jews, and the restlessness it brings forth:
I"ve read and listened to the IHH President"s following words, which renders "ideology and identity" and "state and human" as the same and reminds one of the days before September 6-7;
"There is only one place that will put a stop to Israel"s impertinence, and that is the Jewish congregation in Turkey. Most of Israel"s money belongs to the Jews in Turkey (…) This Jewish congregation should mobilize right away and put an end to Israel"s impertinence. Otherwise, we would be encountering something here which people really don"t want (…) I"m even saying it clearly, they are already saying that people at this or that age cannot enter Mescid-i Aksa. Should we pile up people in front of synagogues?
They should come out and say, "We aren"t sending our children and seizing this massacre of Zionism.
Otherwise, nobody in the world will be comfortable. Because we are unable to hold back the youth…"
Nobody wants to believe that these words were said…
The IHH President and counterparts should stop playing with fire…
If Turkey is going to be a country in which musicians are able to say, "If only another Hitler appeared" or where NGOs are able to "declare Turkish citizen Jews as hostages" and the minorities are being threatened, then what is the value of the reaction against Israel…
