'Hamas is a reality of Palestine': Turkey's Erdogan refuses to cut ties with terror group

The US Treasury’s top terrorism financing official conveyed Washington’s ‘profound’ alarm about Ankara’s past relations with Hamas during a visit to Turkey this week

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has refused to cut ties with Hamas under US pressure in the wake of the terror group’s attacks on Israel.

“First of all, Hamas is a reality of Palestine, it is a political party there and it entered the elections as a political party and won,” Erdogan said in remarks released by his office.

The US Treasury’s top terrorism financing official conveyed Washington’s “profound” alarm about Ankara’s past relations with Hamas during a visit to Turkey this week.

lir,

Everywhere I look, no one is buying Zionist propaganda anymore, except diehards

dumdum666,

Yeah - PKK also belongs to Turkey and is the legitimate opposition for the oppressed Kurdish people… is it not? You guys should support the Europe wide re-legalization of PKK then.

deegeese,

I am profoundly alarmed by US support for apartheid.

Why, they did the same for South Africa, and labeled the guy resisting apartheid a terrorist.

ANIMATEK,

In unrelated news nobody is cutting / did ever cut ties with Israel for numerous war crimes.

generalpotato,

Right? All this shitting on Turkey for not cutting ties with Hamas but nobody bats a fucking eye at the US sending fucking bunker busters to Israel so that they can bomb schools and hospitals.

And then they wonder why the likes of Hamas exist like some moronic existential question of liberty and life. Jfc.

Turkey shouldn’t cozy up to Hamas, US shouldn’t cozy up to Israel. Enough.

Stamau123,

I wonder if Erdogan still sees terrorists in Sweden 🤔

dumdum666,

Erdogan sucking Hamas (Muslim Brotherhood) dick probably made the US threaten to kill the F16 deal. Delaying Swedens admission is now Erdogans retaliation for that.

@dumdum666 @Stamau123 At least he's one of the few world leaders speaking against Israel's Ethnic Cleansing of the Palestinians. More should, then there wouldn't even be a Hamas

dumdum666,

Yeah, I think more world leaders should talk about the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds and how PKK are just freedom fighters. If it wasn’t for Erdogan, there wouldn’t even be a PKK.

@dumdum666 @Stamau123 I don't know, but considering America gives Israel $3 billion a year to slaughter Palestinians pretty sure that rates pretty high

dumdum666, (edited )

That much money? Just from the US? Wow.

If they spend money from just one year, for the Palestinians they have killed up until now, they paid 215,000 USD per dead Palestinian (I am calculating with 14k dead).

I mean if they really wanted to kill all Palestinians they surely would have come up with a more cost effective solution. They are Jews after all. Don’t you agree?

That comes out to $11m A DAY

dumdum666,

11 million a day? Based on what?

That’s the million dollar question.
