Uhh have you read about the ISIS prison full of kids in Syria, you know Turkey was absolutely involved in the conflict that created that? And I am not even sure we know how many people Turkey has killed in Syria, they have been bombing parts of it for 10 years. People just tend to give Turks a pass and there’s been almost no major reporting on Turkey’s behaviors.

Turkey did not create that conflict. America did. ISIS also attacked turkish cities. Turkey did not bomb children and hospitals and thousands of civilians did not die in its operations.

Lol. Turkey have waaay more kurds in it's borders. Literally the most kurds in the world lives in Turkey. Those few kurds literally nothing. Turkey involved with them because they were attacking Turkish cities from other side of the border. They didn't behave.

hope one day they will start a country for their nation and one or the lands that belong to them to be from Turkey as you are occupying and terrorising those people

Hahaha. They would literally kill each other to the eternity. Barzanis, Talabanis, Turkey Kurds, pkk, religious kurds, aşirets (tribals; sometimes have hundreds of thousands of members) etc etc unending circle of civil war will happen. They also would not have any airway, highway, sea access etc. Literally they would isolate themselves to death spiral. Do you really think having "enemies" on your all of borders makes like easier?

Also, if you somehow got separated from Turkey, Turkey would prosper. We wouldn't need to throw money to pit hole with no return of investments. They literally suck out money.

[-]

hilmiira@reddit

lands that belong to them to be from Turkey as you are occupying and terrorising those people

"Land that belongs to them" actually "belonged" to armenians. The Kurds existence in anatolia starts with Ottoman/Sasavi wars. And Kurds were in fact allies of the Turks in the conflict. South east anatolia is pretty far away from eastern iran and south mesopotamia.

Soo question, if both armenians and kurds claim the same land. Van for example. Whic one of the occupied and terrorized of the minority people getting it? Who is more righteous? For getting a better insight you can look at violence that happened in 1915. And how both people interacted in lack of a third common power to hate...

Turkey doesnt terrorize or occupy anyone. The whole point of the conflict is that Turkey actually have no right to military action other than operations on some killometers away from its border to ensure no hostile entity forms in there. Unlike what certain people claim it is solely politics based rather than ethnicy and you dont automatically go to prison camp if youre a kurd in Turkey. Unlike what happened in romania during a not far away period of time.

Turkey's involvement in Syria is nowhere on the same level as what Israel is doing in Gaza.

You know what is comparable to Turkish involvement in Syria? Israeli involvement in Syria.

I mean how is the existence of ISIS children in a Kurdish jail in Syria any more Turkey's fault that Israels?

Israel and ISIS never even fought a single battle. You can't say the same for Turkey. The initial Turkish reaction to ISIS was to leave them alone to balance the Syrian branch of the PKK, but after they blew up a few bombs in Turkey the government had no other option but to fight them.

The Israeli reaction to ISIS was to bomb the Iranians and let ISIS take the weapons they left behind instead of bombing those too.

The most you can say is that Turkey bought ISIS oil, but so did all of Europe once it was rebranded as Kurdish in Erbil. I would extremely surprised if there weren't any Greek vessels shipping it.

And I absolutely know other countries have done their own bad things, I’m not trying to single out Turkey, the US, or any other country specifically. We all need to be better at looking inward.

[-]

Massive_Emu6682@reddit

The problem with your take is that Turkey is not in a direct war with anyone. The reason why people compare Israel with Russia is this. Russia was a major problem maker all around the world (including Syria which they damaged Syrian landscape even more than Isis probably), but because it was more of an "operation" rather than "war" they weren't condemned and isolated to the level they are right now.

As you suggested, lots of big and regional powers are implementing bad policies right now. But war is a whole different situation.

Are there active wars between Turkish forces and local forces? Does Turkey try to invade a land with the intention of occupation? Like in Cyprus for instance?

Idk

I never really understood if people are actually asking this question because they want real answers or they just want their fake outrage published for bit of karma and brownie points.

The main reason Russia was banned from many international competitions is because it invaded a sovereign country (Ukraine) and triggered a full-scale war in Europe, violating international law on a massive scale.

Israel, in contrast, is engaged in a decades-long conflict with a designated terrorist group (Hamas) that initiated the latest war with a mass civilian attack on October 7, 2023. Whether or not you agree with Israel’s response, it’s not the same as invading another country for conquest.

Did Ukraine attack Russia first?

Whern did the war start ? In 1948 when most of the arab world attacked Israel ?

I condem all war crimes commited by both parties and If it were up to me they would all be trialed in court but that wont happen.

But Israels goverments ideology is not to kill all palestinians, if it were they would all be dead.

If Hamas had the military might of the IDF all jews in Israel would be dead a long time ago.

[-]

AideSpartak@reddit

You mean when Jewish settlers from Europe were brought to an already populated area and then gradually started occupying more and more of their land? If Europe felt so about the Jews to the point where it created a new country just for them, maybe it should have German land as it was Germany that did the holocaust, not random people who were already colonised and had nothing to with the whole thing

The1Floyd@reddit

If you are genuinely a racist towards Arabs I find it extremely difficult to believe that you would draw the line at seeing them being bombarded on the news.

It's difficult to take seriously the gesture of a Turk showing solidarity with Palestine, especially when many of them continue to live and move freely in our parents' homes in the northern, illegally occupied part of Cyprus.

How can Turkey credibly accuse another country of occupation or genocide when it actively occupies one-third of an EU country (Cyprus) and has a history marked by atrocities against Greeks, Armenians, Greek Cypriots, and others?

And before the usual wave of Turkish bots chimes in, we're well aware of Turkey’s official narrative regarding Cyprus (and other topics). But let’s be clear: only Turkey sees it that way. The rest of the world recognises the occupation of northern Cyprus as illegal. So please spare us the state-fed propaganda that holds no weight beyond Turkey's borders.

The core question remains: can a state, or its citizens, genuinely protest against occupation and genocide when their own country has committed similar acts and, in some cases, continues to do so? From Cyprus to Syria, from threatening Greece’s borders to supporting Azerbaijan in actions against Armenians, to the systematic oppression of Kurds, Turkey’s record speaks for itself.

And yet, here they are, claiming the moral high ground in the Israel–Palestine conflict. The irony is hard to ignore.

They barred Russians from participating and supported Ukraine while they are letting Israel participate in competetions despite Israel's blatant warcrimes like bombing hospitals, sniping journalists with huge press marking on her chest. Those cheap signallings are meant nothing if they can't bar Israel.

Fuck off with your propaganda. These cheap propagandas are believeable if someone is incredibly stupid or too biased.

that is an entirely different thing, not related to the "no politics" rule.

you are mixing things up.

i gave you examples of the rule being enforced against ukraine and israel, to show you that its not a "pathetic lie", and now you just changed your argument to something completely different of barring states from competitions all together.

Banning russia and letting israel itself is entirely political thing. If they don't want politics in sports then they themselves should stop making political decisions.

he knew the rules. political displays are forbidden, he chose to do it anyway and he is proud to end his career for it. you can like him all you want, he is still a dumbass.

by all means support whoever you want, but you have to respect the rules of the competition itself.

lets say you invite me over to dinner at your house, and you tell me specifically not to talk politics, and i still do it and when you are mad at me for it i take my plate full of food and slam it on the ground. its disrespect.

and besides you dont have to have a medal to not be a loser, your should practice your insults.

What kinda dumb reaction is that? No one would be allowed into the contest if the historic atrocities are accounted for, whats happening right now matters

Puhahaha. Necmettin Erbakan...

He’s named after the Turkish politician who was a strict defender of Islamic sharia. So, it’s not hard to guess what kind of parents this poor guy has and what kind of an environment he grew up.

In the Olympics certain flags are outright banned like the Taiwan flag. There they will for sure fine or ban you for waving it as a competitor. You are not allowed to wave it as a fan either. Even a banner saying "Taiwan" is forbidden. It's quite normal this is banned in competitions. He is still allowed to wave his own flag.
