Israel’s Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is blasting back at the anti-Semitic remarks of Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Erodgan where he compared Zionism to fascism, anti-Semitism and Islamaphobia:

TIMES OF ISRAEL – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s comparison of Zionism to Nazism, calling it a “dark and slanderous remark, the likes of which we thought had passed from the world.”

The Foreign Ministry issued a statement regarding Erdogan’s “hollow” remarks as well, charging that they “stem from ignorance.”

Erdogan on Wednesday described Zionism as a “crime against humanity” on par with anti-Semitism and fascism.

Speaking in Vienna at a United Nations event devoted to dialogue between the West and Islam, Erdogan decried rising racism in Europe and the fact that many Muslims “who live in countries other than their own” often face harsh discrimination.

We should be striving to better understand the culture and beliefs of others, but instead we see that people act based on prejudice and exclude others and despise them,” Erdogan said, according to a simultaneous translation provided by the UN. “And that is why it is necessary that we must consider — just like Zionism or anti-Semitism or fascism — Islamophobia as a crime against humanity.

The Turkish leader’s comments, made at the official opening of the fifth UN Alliance of Civilizations Global Forum, drew harsh criticism from UN Watch, a Geneva-based watchdog group monitoring anti-Israel bias and human rights abuses at the organization.

“Erdogan’s misuse of this global podium to incite hatred, and his resort to Ahmadinejad-style pronouncements appealing to the lowest common denominator in the Muslim world, will only strengthen the belief that his government is hewing to a confrontational stance, and fundamentally unwilling to end its four-year-old feud with Israel,” UN Watch said in a statement.

It’s no surprise that Erdogan, an Islamist, would attack the very idea of Jews be a nation in the country of Israel. No surprise whatsoever.

Islamic countries seem to have made a sport out of spreading lies about Israel and Judaism. Thank God for strong leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu.

Oh, hey, it's fine. I'm sure John Kerry (who by the way served in Vietnam) will let Erdogan know that isn't exactly helpful, and to please moderate his tone.

Erdogan is campaigning for the title of 'Mahdi'. It appears that he believes that he should be the next ruler of the caliphate. Of course, Obama is also campaigning for a world office so he may be the front runner in this contest.

The most important battle in the World is between Christianity and Atheism...

The struggle between individualism and collectivism, is the same struggle reproduced on a different level...

Two convicting World views. 1.) The End JUSTIFIES the Means...Lie, cheat, steal, covet, kill, Slaughter..,etc...

2.) Duty BOUND...we MUST do right right...Christian World View...

See the difference...be very afraid...our enemy is pure evil...

You mean like with the Kurds and Armenians?

Erdogan says "but instead we see that people act based on prejudice and exclude others and despise them.." Interesting. Especially when one sees the effect of large muslim populations in places like Londonistan and Deerborn where non muslims can not go without being singled out and being threatened for not being muslim.

Israel's being singled out yet again with false claims which make the ignorant anti Semites more hateful against the Jewish people. They know damned well that arabs live freely in Israel and enjoy the same benefits that comes with Israeli citizenship. Now find the same of Jews in any dominant muslim country. Good luck with that.

Erdogan is evil.

Erdogan is lying, propagandizing, projecting, speaking what is the exact opposite of truth - all the DIRTY LITTLE MIND GAMES that leftists play.

Erdogan is accusing Israel of doing/being what Islam does/is.

Erdogan should have said, "Islam is a crime against humanity."

Then he would be telling the truth.

Netanyahu has been a wise and faithful defender of Israel for at least a third of her re-established lifetime. (1947-until forever....according to G-d speaking through the prophet Amos in chapter 9, verses 13-15..."Behold, days are coming declares The Lord......"I will also plant them on their land, and they will not again be rooted out from their land which I have given them, says The Lord your G-d."

"Erdogan decried rising racism in Europe and the fact that many Muslims “who live in countries other than their own” often face harsh discrimination."

Oh really? Do they ever get their heads chopped off? What about other parts of their bodies that come in handy from time to time? Are they ever literally crucified? How many of them have been burnt alive in a building, raped, mutilated, been victims of suicide bombers, machine-gun fire, and the like?

In other words, when your people are in Europe they face harsh discrimination? How does that compare to Christians or Jews in the countries of your people? Can you cry us a river stout enough to float a battleship? Wanna make sure those torpedoes can travel all the way into your eye.

Torpedo tubes one and two ready. Fire at will.

"This is a dark and false statement," stated Netanyahu, but one that radical Islamists always seem to have no problems making. When Iran gets its nuclear bomb, thanks to Obama and Kerry, I'll give you three guesses who will welcome that event, and the first two guesses don't count. Turkey will be thrilled when Iran becomes a nuclear power and Turkey wants to get on the ground floor of being Iran's newest BFF. It's about time we start to re-evaluate Turkey's membership in NATO.

Dude has it all wrong... ISLAM is a crime against humanity... we have millions upon millions of bodies to prove. All the terrorism in the world today is done on behalf of Islam.

This person... along with all other Muslims... have been blinded by Satan. Pure and simple.

Much like several years prior to an American election, where the candidates start to vie for contention and put themselves in a good light with their constituents, the players in the MiddleEast are starting to vie for the title of Caliph.

Let the Caliphate wars begin.

Unfortunately, to satisfy their constituents, they need to show which one can damage Israel the most. The one that wins that contest will prove to the muslim world that they deserve to be the head of the Caliphate.

My guess is that Erdogan gets the nod down the road.
