Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of genocide against the Kurds after Erdogan compared Netanyahu to Hitler due to Israel’s actions against Hamas.
Erdogan previously stated that Netanyahu would be tried as a war criminal over Israel’s offensive in Gaza.
Netanyahu responded, criticizing Erdogan for committing genocide against the Kurds and imprisoning journalists. (Trending: Democrat Targets U.S. Troops With New Gun Control Law)
אני מגנה את דבריו של נשיא טורקיה, שהם ביזוי זיכרון השואה, ועיוות המציאות.
מי שביצע מעשה טבח נוראי הוא ארגון הטרור חמאס. הסרת האיום של חמאס מאזרחי ישראל היא כורח קיומי ומעשה מוסרי מאין כמוהו.

“Erdogan, who is committing genocide against the Kurds and who holds the world record for imprisoning journalists who oppose his regime, is the last person who can preach morality to us,” wrote Netanyahu.
“The IDF, which is the most moral army in the world, is fighting to eliminate the most abhorrent and brutal terrorist organization in the world, Hamas-ISIS, which has committed crimes against humanity, and which Erdogan has praised and whose leaders he hosts,” continued the Prime Minister.
“The Jews in Israel kick people lying on the ground,” said Erdogan.
The two leaders have been engaged in a war of words, with Erdogan’s support for Hamas adding to the tension.
Their recent exchange follows a history of strained relations, including Turkey’s attempt to help terrorists infiltrate Gaza in 2010.
“In fact, Jews don’t kick men but also women and children when they fall on the ground. But as Muslims, we’ll confront these people if they have courage to deal with us, and we’ll teach them a lesson,” he continued.
Netanyahu wrote in his response, “Erdogan — the occupier of northern Cyprus, whose army massacres women and children in Kurdish villages, inside and outside Turkey — should not preach to Israel.”
