This makes me so angry (Antisemitism and Racism in Turkey )

Couldn't find a link in English , couldn't even read the article (Basically a diatribe about Gaza or something ) before the picture caused my blood to boil.

Basically , the caption translates to : " Turks carrying signs saying : No Jews or Armenians allowed , dogs are welcome ".

I mean , REALLY ?

Sometimes I understand the Fear Israelis live in , and the heavy handed approach of the IDF, with neighbors like those ?

7. To be fair, "rogue state" is one of those terms that really depends on where you are looking from

It relates to the term "One persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter".

3. racism and antisemetism

is found everywhere. Luckily it is now the exception rather than the rule in Turkey. Turkey has fairly good relations with Israel.

4. They're not anti-Semites. They just disagree with some of Israel's policies.

6. Sadly bigotry, racism and hate is a human trait

Edited on Tue Apr-20-10 10:33 AM by Tailormyst

It's found all over the globe and it stems from fear. Even the hated hate. It's a vicious circle. I wish I had an answer.
