Erdogan and Muslims’ Rulers are Alike
in the Betrayal of the Issue of Palestine

On 12 July 2021, Turkish President Erdogan spoke over the phone to the head of the Jewish entity, Isaac Herzog, and congratulated him on his election as head of their entity. He sent a message of friendship and cooperation with the head of the enemy entity, and emphasized that “Turkey-Israel relations are of great importance in ensuring security and stability in the Middle East.” And he expressed the "potential for cooperation between the two countries in various areas, notably energy, tourism and technology." Erdogan published the news of his call with the head of the usurping entity of Palestine on his Twitter account, as if he wanted to prove his loyalty to the Jewish entity and those behind it; America and the West, to gain their approval, and said: “I spoke today over the phone to the President of (Israeli) state Isaac Herzog, and during the call we discussed relations between the two countries as well as regional issues. We stressed the potential for cooperation at a high level between the two countries in many fields. And despite all differences of opinion between us, we attach great importance to the continuation of contact and dialogue with (Israel), and we believe that positive steps taken for settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, will also contribute to a positive course for Turkey-Israel relations." And he called for the implementation of the American “two-state solution," which is the recognition of the Jews' usurpation of an area of about 80% of Palestine.
Thus, Erdogan confirms his recognition of the usurpation of the Jewish entity of Palestine and its support for this entity and strengthening it and enhancing relations with it, oblivious to the rule of Islam that Palestine is a purely Islamic country in which the Jews have no right, for they have usurped it through the conspiracies of the colonial states, headed by Britain and America who appointed the rulers of the region including the rulers of Turkey as guards for this entity,and that it must be liberated from their filth, and that the Caliph Abdul Hamid II (Rahimahullah) did not give an inch of it to the Jews, and they offered him millions of golden liras and paying all the debts of the Ottoman Empire.
We ask those with intense emotions who hope for the good in Erdogan! And we invite them to stir their minds, not to embellish for themselves what is not true and give traitors the character of heroes, so they deceive themselves, and they tickle their feelings and emotions with false matters, and sleep assured that this hero will liberate Palestine for them and save the entire Ummah! We ask them: is there any doubt from these words of Erdogan’s betrayal and deception to them and to other naive and simple people? Is he who affirms the importance of relations in word and deed, with the Jewish entity who usurped the blessed land, which he previously described by saying: “Turkish (Israeli) relations are for life” i.e. vital, is he not a traitor? That is, as if they relate to the existence or disappearance of Turkey! That is, he links the existence of Turkey to the Jewish entity! Is it because both and others are made-up entities established by the English colonizer on the ruins of the caliphate that he destroyed through his agent Mustafa Kemal? The one who dropped the glorious Sharia, abolished the rule of Islam, and separated religion from the state and politics by declaring secularism and making sovereignty for the people, when he declared the republic regime and implemented democracy, and under the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 CE, he gave up Palestine and other Islamic countries that were affiliated with the Ottoman Empire, gave them up to the British and other colonists. The Turkish regime was one of the first countries to recognize the Jewish entity.
Erdogan has been ruling Turkey for twenty years, and he has not cancelled this recognition. Rather, he continued and strengthened relations with the Jewish entity. Rather, he acted as his sponsor, as he was mediating between it and the Syrian regime in 2008 to conclude a peace agreement between them, and he and the Syrian regime were unable to resume talks after the Jewish aggression against Gaza in 2009.
The Jewish entity killed ten Turks aboard the Mavi Marmara in 2010 who were going to provide aid to Gaza. Erdogan did not avenge for them, but refused to consider them martyrs. In the recent Jewish aggression against Al-Aqsa Mosque and Gaza, Erdogan did not go beyond giving condemnation statements, like the rest of the Muslim rulers, including those who cooperate with the Jews and recognize their entity. So, we say to those emotionalists, are Erdogan’s statements and actions different from those of the sons of Zayed, the rulers of the Emirates, who are hated by everyone? Are they different from the statements and actions of the killer Sisi?! Who Erdogan began working to improve relations with him, licking his spit after condemning him in the 2013 coup and the Rabaa Square massacres, and froze relations with him, and his hands are still dripping with the blood of Muslims while he is issuing death sentences on them?! Or are his words and actions different from those of the kings of Jordan, Bahrain and Morocco, who persist in their betrayal and do not allow anyone to criticize them? or from the rulers of Sudan who sell the country for a few pennies or for a crooked chair?! Doesn't Erdogan affirm, through his statements and actions, his keenness on the security and survival of the Jewish entity, like these outcast rulers? So, why do you reject them and hate them but love Erdogan and bring him closer?! What is the matter with you? How do you judge??!
Erdogan has the longest reign in Turkey, he ruled by more than its founder Mustafa Kemal, who made criminal radical changes against Islam and its people. If Erdogan wanted to make the correct radical changes, he would have been able to do so. Especially after the failed coup attempt on 15/7/2016. The people failed it by taking to the streets in the face of the revolutionaries chanting Takbeer and Tahleel, supplicating and praying in mosques until the morning. And when he saw the Islamic sentiments had strengthened, he sensed apprehension of them, he wanted to obliterate the truth, so he called for the marches of democracy and to participate with the Kemalist Republican People’s Party in its democratic marches and considered this a victory for democracy and those who were killed were considered martyrs of democracy! Do Kuffar have martyrs?! This is an Islamic term used to refer to those who are killed in order to elevate the word of Allah only!
We call on those who are misguided by Erdogan to wake up from their negligence and stir their minds. Allah (swt) has called for thinking and made it obligatory, and made emotions linked to thoughts and addressed people of minds and people of understanding in hundreds of verses, made his command and his prohibition the judge for actions and things, and demolished idols, whether they were stones or human figures that aretaken deities beside Allah, whose sayings and actions are considered acts over which there is no discussion, because they come from an inspiring leader who blinded hearts with his love, similar to Abdel Nasser previously and Erdogan recently.
