Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

It's unfathomable to think, with a war that has been publicised this much since it escalated on October 7th, that people like you are still so uninformed that you genuinely think so.

You should be better informed. It's incredibly dangerous in today's climate to be ignorant of the truth.

Lol sure. Israels biggest allies in the region include the biggest sponsor of radical islamism in the world as well as Egypt, but sure, tell yourself that

Palestine could have accepted a long time ago whatever terms Israel was laying down for them, but Iran wanted a proxy war, so that did not happen. And now the Israel's nazi in command is feeding off that to gather support for himself as well.

So there are two ways to look at this. Either we all agree this is all about politics and not so much about religion, or you ask westerners to choose between Muslims and Jewish purely based on feelings like people are doing here (spoiler alert: the other side is calling antisemitic). If we choose the latter, pray tell me, which side will the west mostly side with? We both know the answer. So, IMO, if you want to save Palestinians, crying about islmophobia brings nothing.
