Zionists keep trying to equate their 20th-century occupations with pre-modern conquests in order to justify them.
Friendly reminder that Turkey is a Central Asian settler colony in Anatolia that was created through the worst genocide in Middle Eastern history during which it murdered millions of Greeks, Armenians, and other Christians, and is currently occupying and colonizing two countries.

Zionists frequently bring up Turkey’s presence in Cyprus in an attempt to legitimize what they see as comparable situations in Palestine. The key difference, however, is that Turkey did not launch its military intervention in Cyprus by claiming ‘these lands belonged to us in antiquity,’ as is argued in the case of Israel. Turkey justified its intervention on the grounds of protecting the security of the Turkish Cypriot community, which already constituted roughly a quarter of the island’s population at the time.
Because medieval conquests carried out by monarchic states and the forcible creation of a nation-state on somebody else's land in the 20th century are completely different things.
Israel and Spain are both countries created through the liberation of territories conquered by Muslims more than a thousand years ago. Why is Spain legitimate and Israel not?

This would essentially mean a foreign state interfering in the internal affairs of another country, and that is unacceptable.
The US could potentially offer a dollar swap line to Turkey ahead of the election, a move that will bolster hard-currency reserves and improve market confidence, according to Jefferies International strategist Durukal Gun bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The fact that Istanbul is Turkish territory was already validated by the Treaty of Lausanne, and Greece accepted that as well. No further validation is needed. Istanbul was already a major city when it was conquered in 1453, which is why the event is still commemorated today. The rest is your own imagination.
On the one hand, they take 1914 as the starting point of the so-called ‘Pontus genocide,’ yet on the other hand they commemorate its anniversary on May 19, 1919, the day Atatürk arrived in Samsun. The contradiction already starts here.
They speak out like this only because the humiliation and abuse were inflicted on citizens of Western countries. When far worse is done to Palestinians, they do not care because they see them as second-class humans.
No, this is exactly Israel. This is what you have always been. The only reason it became a problem now is that it was done to citizens of Western countries.
As an Israeli, I am utterly ashamed and disgusted by Itamar Ben-Gvir’s pathetic, childish stunt.
The humiliating way he filmed and mocked detainees is a national disgrace.
This is not Israel. It’s damaging our soldiers and our country. Not in our name.

Russia uses the ‘NATO threat’ as a pretext for its policy of establishing hegemony over neighboring countries like Ukraine.
🇷🇺 NATO's top general used Russia's own army against its narrative.
Moscow stripped the Leningrad Military District bare to fuel the Ukraine invasion.
His claim: You don't do that if you actually believe NATO is massing on your border.
The "NATO threat" has always been the excuse, not the reason.

The EU is not going to damage its relations with Turkey simply because Turkey poses a challenge to Israel’s regional aggression. You’re wasting your breath.
I’m genuinely curious: why is the expulsion of Christians from Ottoman lands in the early 20th century called ‘genocide,’ while the expulsion of Turks from the Balkans during the same period is never called genocide?
🇬🇷 | Pontic Greek Genocide, 353.000 souls seek justice. This was no 'tragedy', it was Genocide. We shall not forget.
The 19th of May marks the Pontic Greek Genocide Remembrance Day, a solemn occasion honoring the memory of approximately 353.000 Pontic Greeks who were killed between 1914 and 1923. This genocide was part of the broader campaign of ethnic cleansing carried out against Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire. The Pontic Greeks had lived for millennia along the Black Sea coast of what is now northern Turkey, preserving their distinct culture, language, and Orthodox Christian identity. #Patriots
Prof. Michael Mann, in his book The Dark Side of Democracy: Explaining Ethnic Cleansing, objectively describes the large-scale violence inflicted on Muslims/Turks in the Balkans, including episodes that reached genocidal proportions. Mann states that between 1821 and 1922, around 5.5 million Muslims/Turks were expelled from Europe, while roughly 5 million either died or perished from disease and starvation during flight. He describes this as “lethal ethnic cleansing on a scale previously unseen in Europe.”
They keep repeating ‘international law’ over and over. Yet in most maritime jurisdiction disputes, international law is not applied literally word for word; it is adapted to the specific circumstances on the ground.
Yes, democracy, the rule of law, and human rights are necessary for EU membership, and Turkey is currently far from meeting those standards. But let’s say it did meet them; would Turkey then be allowed to join, or would the answer still become: ‘Sorry, you’re Muslim’?
German Foreign Minister Wadephul:
If Türkiye wants to become a member of the European Union, we, as Germany, will be a friendly and reliable partner.
At the same time, the Copenhagen criteria — namely democracy, the rule of law, and human rights — remain essential conditions that must be fulfilled in order to join the EU.
In a geopolitical dispute, you start from the strongest possible position so that any eventual compromise ends up closer to your interests. That’s how international politics works.
🇹🇷🇬🇷🇨🇾 Erdoğan is seeking to formally codify the “Blue Homeland” doctrine, and Greece and Cyprus are not happy.
The law would allow him to declare a 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean.
Granting Turkey a formal legal claim over fishing, drilling, mining, and marine development in waters that Greece and Cyprus already consider their own.
Turkey and Greece have clashed over overlapping maritime claims for decades.
Cyprus has active hydrocarbon exploration blocks that Ankara refuses to recognize.
The EU will protest. And NATO will be uncomfortable.
But neither is likely to stop it.

Nationalist Greeks try to portray the maritime disputes between Turkey and Greece as if they were a conflict between Turkey and the EU, but these disputes first emerged in the 1970s, when the EU did not exist.
🇪🇺 An aggressive, expansionist state on Europe’s doorstep is openly contesting Europe’s maritime borders and sovereign rights.
For years, Europe’s hesitation allowed Turkey to act with impunity. But it can no longer look away:
The Eastern Mediterranean is fast becoming Europe’s next security crisis - and a direct test of whether the EU is willing to defend its sovereignty, its borders, its member states, and the rule of law it claims to uphold.

Considering that not all of present-day Croatia was ever under Ottoman rule, and the parts that entered Ottoman rule were before the 18th century, it is an interesting song choice.
🇭🇷 Kroatien stürmte mit einem Lied ins Finale des Eurovision Song Contest, in dem von der osmanischen Besatzung und der Tradition christlicher Tätowierungen zur Schutz junger Mädchen vor Muslimen gesungen wird.
Das Lied auf Kroatisch hat überhaupt nichts mit der gesamten „progressiven" Agenda des ESC-Bla-Bla zu tun; es verurteilt die jahrhundertelange islamische türkische Besatzung kroatischer Gebiete und erinnert an die alte kroatische Tradition, katholischen Mädchen christliche Motive als Tätowierungen auf den Körper zu bringen, um ihre Entführung, Zwangsumkehr zum Islam und sexuelle Versklavung zu verhindern.
Das Lied, in dem gesungen wird, dass „viele das Grab gewählt haben, weil unsere Mütter keine Sklaven geboren haben", wurde als Akt kultureller Tapferkeit in einer Ära des suizidalen politischen Korrektheitsdrucks und der selbstmörderischen Toleranz mit Applaus aufgenommen.
Die Türkei hat bereits offizielle Beschwerden gegen die kroatischen Interpreten eingereicht 🙃.

Milli Görüş is not a Muslim Brotherhood-linked group. It has its own political tradition. Just because you see the Muslim Brotherhood as inherently bad, you try to associate every Islamic movement with it.
One of the largest mosques in the world is being built in Strasbourg, funded by Turkey, Qatar, and the Muslim Brotherhood-linked group Millî Görüş.
Their website says it “represents the Islamic civilization in the center of Europe” and that it will be “Europe’s most beautiful complex.”
Qatar contributed €2.5 million to the project, while the bulk of the funding comes from Millî Görüş.
Millî Görüş is a Turkish Islamist movement that advocates for political Islam, inspired by the ideas of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The movement was founded by the former prime minister of Turkey Necmettin Erbakan, whose manifesto of the same name called for pan-Islamism (the unity of Muslims under one Islamic state) to protect against Zionist and Catholic forces in Europe.
While Islamists are funding the construction of mosques and Islamic complexes in Europe, Turkey and Qatar do not allow Christians to build places of worship in their countries.
This should be a wake-up call to Europe.
