Israeli FM slams ‘dictator’ Erdoğan over trade ban

Erdoğan, whose ruling Justice and Development Party took a thumping at the polls in local elections on March 31, has been displaying open hostility to the Jewish state and support for Hamas since the terrorist organization started the Oct. 7 war by invading Israel.

Also on Thursday, Erdoğan decried the response to violent antisemitic protests currently taking place on U.S. college campuses under the guise of being against Jerusalem’s conduct during the war against Hamas.

Erdoğan alleged that “conscientious students and academics, including anti-Zionist Jews” were facing “violence, cruelty, suffering, and even torture” from authorities for opposing Israeli actions. He claimed some were being “sacked and lynched” for supporting the Palestinians.

“The limits of Western democracy are drawn by Israel’s interests,” the Turkish leader added, accusing Western nations of labeling any criticism of Israel as “anti-democratic” and “antisemitic.”

Katz severely criticized Ankara toward the end of April for inviting Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s “political” bureau, to stay in the country.

Tensions between the two countries were also aggravated when a Turkish terrorist carried out an attack in Jerusalem this week.

Rodriguez: Just Part of the Problem

“The video of him responding, the walk when he gets out of the unit,” says one officer, “it’s disgusting and a disgrace to the badge. He’s found a way to turn public service into personal gain, and no one seems to care.”

Better The Devil You Know

Some of us have spoken up, been blocklisted, and made an example for our colleagues. Lt. Rodriguez has no shift that respects him; he only gains any form of reaction from fear of retaliation. Lt. Rodriguez will smirk and grin at you in a defined manner of a smug boy-like demeanor. He believes he is “untouchable,” and the lack of support from our supervisors and the second floor seems to be correct.

Restaurant Review: A Bite of Belgium – Las Cruces, NM
