Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan used a speech on human rights Saturday to accuse the West of “barbarism” for its stance on the Israel-Hamas war and what he alleged was its toleration of Islamophobia.
“Israel has carried out atrocities and massacres that will shame the whole of humanity,” Erdogan told a packed hall in Istanbul the day before the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
“All the values relating to humanity are being murdered in Gaza. In the face of such brutality, international institutions and human rights organizations are not taking any concrete steps to prevent such violations,” the Turkish leader said.
The human rights declaration, proclaimed by the U.N. General Assembly in Paris on December 10, 1948, enshrines a standard for human rights and freedoms for all people.
thats some very far stretched statement, I absolutely don’t agree with.
Then what do you call them continuing the war, forcing 2 million people from their homes, towards an uninhabited desert with no food or water? What do you call them not letting aid in for the first couple of weeks? (Or letting in such small numbers it wasn’t really relevant at all?)
A ceasfire needs to happen now, and the people need to be helped, hospitalized, and Gaza rebuilt. Israel doesn’t want that, hence I am anti Israel. It’s really simple as far as geopolitics is concerned.
self defense against hamas, because they already declared that they will do another terror attack in the future and will keep continuing this.
