While brutally attempting to occupy and exploit the land of another people, torturing, massacring and then labelling them terrorists as they self-defend; Erdogan is claiming to sympathise with Palestine. It can be argued that Saudi-backed Turkey has more in common with Israel, than the war-torn Palestine.
The corrupt Turkey (who is ordering the rape, death, torture and oppression of millions of innocent people, whilst occupying their land and alleging their identity non-existent), is claiming to be in solidarity with Palestine. The peoples of Palestine are enduring the same oppressions from a different oppressor, Israel.
Whilst the relations of Turkey and Israel remain hidden, Turkey is claiming to be in solidarity, under Muslim brotherhood; even though, firstly, most of the population of Kurdistan is Muslim, and secondly, it is not religious to commit atrocities. So, what makes the Turkish State claim solidarity, with an oppressed region, while they are committing the same oppression elsewhere?
Since Israel’s occupation of Palestine and its illegal blockade of the Gaza Strip, 2 million inhabitants have been subjected to collective punishment and severely restricted in terms of freedom. Israeli forces unlawfully kill Palestinian civilians, including children, they are unlawfully detaining thousands, while holding hundreds in administrative detention without charge or trial.
Torture and other ill-treatment of detainees, including children, remain pervasive and is committed with impunity. Israel continues to demolish Palestinian homes in the West Bank and in villages inside occupied Palestine, forcibly evicting residents. Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, Kurds, who are facing the same treatment, are being detained in Turkish Occupied Kurdistan, and being electrocuted from their genitals, sexually assaulted, threatened to evacuate their homes unless they agree to become slaves of the Turks.
The Agricultural Chairperson for the district of occupied Afrin, disclosed that Turkey has earned at least $80 million from the stolen olives, in Afrin alone. Meanwhile, Israel has been slammed for stealing $17,000 worth of aid supplies, which was stolen by the occupying Israeli authorities.
The AKP government has formed its foundations on the notion of Islam, how much it implements the rules of the religion itself, is out of question. But it cannot be denied that, through the strong influence of its distorted media, that it has the capacity to be viewed by the rest of the world, as it wishes.
The revolutionary history of Palestine has eloped from social, democratic prospects to radical jihad groups. This occurrence aligns perfectly with the period which Turkish and Israeli relations turned sour; the reason being that since the attempted coup of 2016 in Turkey, Erdogan has placed his trust in alternative armies (jihad groups). These are the same jihad groups that were being funded during the Rojava, Kurdistan revolution.
During the war of Rojava, it could be seen in plain sight that the Turkish army had opened its borders for the ISIS jihadis to walk through and be medically treated, or trained. At the core of these Jihad groups, the main target is the Kurdistan region, which they deem their caliphate. For this reason, it is clear that the supposed solidarity, or Muslim brotherhood, is interest based. The Turkish state realises that the 188 DAESH children it has taken in, are insufficient to fulfil the chaos Turkey dreams of in the Middle East, and its ambitions of becoming a Police State. Where the DAESH children remain insufficient, there must be another source of jihadists, which is where Palestine comes in.
