Turkey's Blood Libel Against Israel
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - History has never documented a genocide carried out by shipping in medicine and running mass vaccination campaigns for the population supposedly being "annihilated." Nor has it ever recorded a genocide carried out by building humanitarian zones or feeding the "exterminated" population in active combat areas with hundreds of thousands of tons of water, food, and medical supplies every single day, all while setting up field hospitals. Israel poured enormous resources into evacuating Gazan residents from their homes in combat zones before the ground offensive even began, using millions of leaflets, text messages, and phone calls to warn them. None of that will spoil the blood libel Erdogan has cultivated against Israel for three years running, including the push for an arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The world doesn't hear nearly enough about the Turkish president who has turned his own country into a dark police state that has investigated or prosecuted more than 700,000 of its own citizens since 2016. Amnesty International and the UN's Middle East committee have published detailed reports documenting torture inside Turkish detention facilities. Add to that the extensive testimony published by the UN Human Rights Office documenting war crimes and ethnic cleansing that Turkey and the militias it backs have carried out in Kurdish residential areas.
