Interesting comment on this:
ReplyDeleteBe prepared to learn more than you ever wanted to know about The Armenian Genocide, the structural anti-Semitism of the Ottoman Empire, the anti-Semitism of the Seljuks and the Il-Khans, the tragedy that was the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, etc…
None of which would ever be worthy of note, or mention, or thought, had the Turkish gov’t not changed it’s policy and decided that it’s support of Israel was unwarranted and excessive.

ReplyDeleteI can't speak for the others but I doubt being that stupid. Or that shallow. Or that emotional baby..
Sorry, I do not know about you, but many of the people commenting on the article did just that, or why so defensive about Turkey?
ReplyDeleteAbove, you quoted a comment that basically ridicules any criticism of Turkey as over the top.
<span>As far as I recall, I have always defended <span>the legacy of the Islamic</span> past for obvious reasons.</span>
