Hi,

This section is the closest thing I could find to discussing politics on this forum.

I am trying to understand Turkish policy. I don't understand why Turkey supports Israel's attempt to steal Palestinian land by killing Palestinians, bulldozing their homes, driving them off their land, and building illegal Israeli settlements.

I also don't understand why Turkey supports the U.S. in Iraq where U.S. soldiers are slaughtering innocent Iraqi civilians.

Being a muslim country, shouldn't Turkey stick up for its muslim brothers and try to protect them?

I really don't understand this. I am not really an expert on world politics. Could someone explain to me the purpose of this?

Thanks
Curious

First off, Turkey DONT support Israel and USA in the middle east !!!! We think that they are doing very very bad things to the humanity! And Turkey warned USA and Israel several times, for example nowadays Turkey and USA have problems in their relations becuase Turkey warning the USA becuase of the "Fallujah Massacre"...

And we dont care about "muslim brothers". We are not arabic muslims. Turkey is democratic and secular country and we think that science & logic must be commonsense, not spiritual things. Turkey is definitely a European Country.

We also remember that what many muslim countries did in the I. World War, they shot us from behind.

And, do you know that how many Turkish truck driver beheaded, killed by that muslim brothers? let me answer, more than 30!!! And their fault was just bring bread to their homes. What u mean by muslim brother?!

We think that a christian = a muslim = a budist = a human!

We want just PEACE!..

I think the religious conflict should be treated carefully !
humiliation for Iraqis and Palestinians doesn't make me think christian = muslim = human it means one thing : christinians = people, muslims = slaves !

Everybody is the slave or the victim of every whatever they are Muslims, Christians, Boudhists, Juwes, Atheist. Of course there are tortures in Palestin n in Irak. But lots of others people have been beheaded or mutilated there. When its war, there is no ONE type of victims but every body. For example in Cashmir, there r often Christian massacres.
Human Horror is every where, especially when its war....

you said war, i don't think it's war, war is when two equal forces attack each other but US is stronger than Iraq 100 times! u c , it's agression not war ! :shock:

[Croushy]

you can call it like u want. but US doesnt have as much power as you said, cause they cant control Irak more than one year after catchin out Saddam Hussein.
Well its ur opinion n i have mine. Now we're out of topic...
