ANKARA, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Friday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, which he said amounted to genocide, and urged the international community to work for a humanitarian ceasefire in the region.
In a post on social messaging platform X, Erdogan also said Israel was provoking non-regional actors instead of turning back from its mistakes in Gaza, adding that the region needed saving from the “frenzy of madness” supported by Western powers and media.
Maybe, just maybe, because literally thousands of innocent human beings are dying? I sometimes feel like I live in a different reality that this needs to be said.
I understand that, but how are Israel supposed to get their hostages back?
I honestly don’t know, but just simply flattening all of Gaza can’t be the way. Both from a humanitarian perspective (it can not be okay to murder thousands if not tens of thousand by the end of this to save a few), but also in practical sense. I’d even argue the chances of killing the hostages are huge like this, as long as they don’t know where they are.
Imagine if these hostages were held on Israeli territory, they wouldn’t just bomb the shit out of that, that would be considered absurd.
