As conservatism continues to gain strength...

avr. 15 2024, lundi

In discussions regarding the AK Party's loss of votes in the local elections, the call for a "return to factory settings" is becoming increasingly common. In fact, this call has been voiced before. Expressions like "founding philosophy" have also come up alongside these calls. However, because these calls have been brought up by different circles, not much attention has been paid to whether everyone is speaking with the same understanding. Thus, there seems to be a consensus on what is meant by

Continuing to support the Palestinian cause

avr. 11 2024, jeudi

The Palestinian cause has found resonance beyond governments in Türkiye. The activities of Bakû conqueror Nuri Pasha during the early years of the Republic are no longer shrouded in darkness as before. While we may not fully know the truths awaiting exposure, it's known that some of the weapons produced in the Sütlüce factory were sent to Palestine. The support of Nuri Pasha, the Commander of the Caucasian Islamic Army, was not limited to Palestine alone. There were also connections between Pasha's

All of humanity must question the West

Last week, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar announced his resignation without any serious reason. Varadkar's unexpected decision surprised almost the entire world. Therefore, immediately after the press conference, Varadkar's speech at the White House for Saint Patrick's Day hosted by US President Joe Biden became a topic of discussion. The Irish Prime Minister clarified Ireland's stance on the events in Gaza to President Biden, stating, "We see our history through the eyes of the Palestinians;

US politicians also see Israel as a Western colony...

It seems that a serious polarization has emerged in both the US and the UK as Israel's massacres have come to light and reached an undeniable level. Both countries openly supported Israel after October 7 as a continuation of their traditional state policies. This support had not been questioned before, and there had been no polarization. Therefore, they saw no problem in supporting Israel after October 7. However, Israel was desperate for the first time against the Palestinians. Hamas emerged unexpectedly,

The US and the UK are said to be tightening the screws on South Africa

mars 10 2024, dimanche

South Africa, risking possible pressures, stood against Israel's apartheid regime based on racial discrimination. Going a step further, South Africa succeeded in prosecuting Israel for genocide at the International Court of Justice. South Africans expressed that they relied on the shared experiences of oppression and colonialism that historically colonized countries had endured. It was this experience that led them to support Palestinians. Undoubtedly, South Africans knew who they might face opposition

How many Palestinians did the US military kill in Gaza?

mars 04 2024, lundi

Aaron Bushnell, an aviator serving in the US military, set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington to protest against the genocide in Gaza. After the incident, it was announced that Bushnell passed away in the hospital where he was treated. Another person had previously set themselves on fire in Atlanta, but Bushnell's act was more attention-grabbing. This was due to the shocking statements Bushnell made before the act. However, it can be said that these statements were not pursued.

Aaron Bushnell's "extreme" action

In the previous article, we discussed how support rallies for Palestinians were on the rise in the streets of the UK and many cities across Europe, while British politicians expressed their desire to resurrect post-Cold War categories like "extremist Islamists." It was significant when British politicians went a step further, falsely accusing Islamists of directly threatening Members of Parliament by calling them. However, just as they were making these allegations, a soldier from the US military

Are Palestine supporters shaping the streets of England?

févr. 26 2024, lundi

The anti-Israel protests in the UK and the US are being closely monitored, prompting relevant institutions and politicians in these countries to try to develop a new approach in response to the increasing support for Palestinians. In this context, the statements by representatives of the British Labour Party alleging that radical Islamists have taken over the streets of England are indicative of a provocative new discourse. However, those taking to the streets for Palestine are ethnically diverse

The fundamentalism of global corporations

févr. 14 2024, mercredi

Norwegian doctor Mads Gilbert, who works at the Shifa Hospital in Gaza, emphasized the importance of all kinds of support for Palestinians in his address to the Turkish people. He mentioned that many things can be done within this framework. Additionally, Dr. Mads Gilbert stressed the necessity of maintaining interest in Palestinians, noting that global support for Gaza is continuously increasing. However, while the Norwegian doctor's words were echoing in Türkiye, a cleaning company's advertisement

Why were Orientalist studies handed over to Zionists?

févr. 08 2024, jeudi

In the nineteenth century, when Orientalist studies reached their peak, the works of Western European countries regarding the Turkish-Islamic geography were both framed within a colonial context and had an ideological identity. Because Orientalists acted according to defined purposes, variations in research by period were not seen as strange but rather as a dynamic process. Therefore, in Orientalist studies, change was not a problem but rather a response to changing needs. It was quite natural for
