Turkish President Tayyip Erdogand said Wednesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is no different from Adolf Hitler and compared Israel’s attacks on Gaza to the Nazis’ treatment of the Jewish people.
Turkey, a NATO member and supporter of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, sharply criticized Israeli air and ground campaigns in Gaza, adding that Western countries supporting Israel were complicit in so-called war crimes.
They used to talk bad about Hitler. How is Hitler different? They will make us miss Hitler. Is what Netanyahu is doing less than what Hitler did? It’s not.
He later added.
Hitler was not as rich as he was. He is richer than Hitler and receives support from the West. There is a lot of support from the US. And what did they do with all this support? They killed more than 20,000 Gazans.
Netanyahu responds
Benjamin Netanyahu responded in a statement that the Turkish president should be the last person to lecture Israel.
Erdogan, who is committing genocide against the Kurds, who has a world record for arresting journalists who oppose his government, is the last person who can teach us lessons about morality.
Netanyahu defended that the Israeli army represents the most moral values in the world in its fight against “the most heinous and cruel terrorist organization in the world, Hamas-ISIS, which has committed crimes against humanity and which Erdogan praises and salutes senior officers.” ”.
Turkey is a historic ally of Israel, but relations have deteriorated since Erdogan came to power in 2002, with two rifts in the past decade, although diplomatic ties fully resumed last year.
