Nazi Turkey

"Yes. There is nothing to say that you can't have a presidential system in a unitary state."

"There are already some examples in the world today, and also some from the past. You see it when you look at Hitler's Germany."
"Later you see the example again in various other counties."
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

"Self reliance has been a necessity [for Jews in a hostile world of rejection]."
"Jews' success through ages and countries despite severe discrimination [has the effect of encouraging envy in those who tend to blame others when their own lack of achievement marks their failures]."
Reuven Brenner, management professor, Wall Street Journal

Turkey's irascible, volatile, self-reverential President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has brought his country to a new low through his and his party's demeaning and constant statements about Israel and 'Jewish crimes against Palestinians'. Turkey, which was once a staunch ally of Israel and an example of Muslim-Jewish cooperation in a world hostile to the existence of a Jewish state in a Muslim geography, has completed a total reversal in attitude toward Israel under the careful manipulation of Erdogan who has ascribed to Jews and to Israel all the most base attitudes and actions possible in its relations with the Muslim world.

The Jewish state that has been time and again faced with implacable enmity from its Arab neighbours mounting one war upon another on Israel, managing through its existential determination to defend itself successfully, is even so portrayed as the indefensible aggressor, the foundation of all that goes wrong in the Middle East and beyond. Just as the Koran is rife with condemnation of Judaism and the perfidy of Jews who refuse to submit to Islam, so does Erdogan invoke the wrath of Islam against the Jewish unbelievers.

Erdogan believes in the superiority of Islam, vastly noble in its dedication to achieving control of the world as a universal religion of peace, which no amount of terrorism and jihadist martyrdom seems sufficient to acknowledge that it is indeed in fact and in purpose a religion of war. Just as Erdogan turns everything inside out, so does Islam when it teaches Muslims that all non-Islamic societies are geographies where war exists, and that only in Muslim majority geographies is the world at peace; that jihad will bring the world to a universal state of peace.

Islam is a religion that requires an object of detestable hatred to motivate its followers, and though it views the West and democracies and religions other than Islam as hateful, Judaism, Jews and Israel occupy a special place in Islamist hatred. Which has led to a resurgence of anti-Semitism in lock-step with the growth of Islamofascism. Where Muslim mobs everywhere throughout Europe recognized the U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem with the burning of Israeli and U.S. flags.

Turkey, led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling AKP scapegoat Jews for the condition of Gaza, administered by the admirable and Turkey-supported Hamas terrorist group. Turks have been fed through their media citing Erdogan's pronouncements and rage against Israel persecuting and planning genocide against the poor victims of Palestinian origin a steady stream of calumnies and slanderous lies that have given Jews remaining as Turkish citizens good cause to be concerned over their safety.

Turkey's economic problems with international investors now concerned over Turkey's future, has seen the "Jewish lobby" blamed for the drop of value of Turkish currency. Jews are being blamed for everything in Turkey's run up to its June 24 general election. The age-old ploy of blaming outside forces for the mismanagement by an administration seeking re-election, is to turn peoples' voting spleen against sinister forces outside the country harming it deliberately to see a vote for the disabling administration as a method of strengthening and supporting the nation.

In Turkey Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf is a runaway best seller and has been for years with 35 separate publishing houses printing translations of 21 different translators producing eight new editions in 2016 alone, and another nine in 2017. Hitler and his Nazi party are admired for their administrative and efficient effectiveness to which Erdogan aspires as the complete tyrant of a complacent population. Like Hitler's Nazis, Erdogan's supporters have been busy attacking synagogues and government-run TV networks feature anti-Semitic programs.

Yet when Erdogan is enraged that Germany and other European countries will not allow him and his party to campaign for votes among expatriate Turks who are citizens of Germany and elsewhere in Europe, he snarls at them for being Nazis.
