Erdogan is the most successful opportunistic politician who will use every popular issue to plug in his relevance. After weeks of silence, he came to join a large crowd of people waving Turkish flags, invoking Gaza crisis but saying nothing of substance. He seemed more concerned with the optics than with the human cost accrued by people dying. Here are some of the ultimate showman’s statements.
* Unfortunately, in Turkey, there are politicians who claim that just as Netanyahu is a terrorist, so is HAMAS. They don't know what HAMAS is.
* Today, some in Turkey see Gaza as distant from us, and they don't care about what happens there. Gaza was an Ottoman city nearly 100 years ago. For us, it was one of our cities, like Adana and Mardin are today.
* Unfortunately, we were divided and separated by borders, and today they are trying to divide us with various temptations and games.
* Look closely at the statements of Israeli officials, and you will find plans of insult and betrayal, directed at our lands as well.
* I confirm that HAMAS is not a terrorist movement, and we will not be satisfied with the condemnation of what is happening in the Gaza Strip.
* Those who cried about injustice in Ukraine yesterday are today supporting Israel with blood on their hands.
* Israel won't last even three days without the support of Western countries.
* Turkey is preparing to declare Israel a war criminal to the entire world.
* Western officials have become deaf and cannot hear the cries of the casualties in Gaza or the appeals of the UN Secretary-General.
* Israel is committing a massacre in Gaza in the darkness, thinking that the world will not find out.
