[IsraelTimes] ‘Wake up,’ Israel’s Foreign Ministry tells Mustafa Çiftçi, ‘Ottoman Empire is gone’; in Turkish-language rebuke, Katz says Jerusalem ‘will remain Israel’s capital forever’
If Allah loved the Turks as much as President Recep Tayip Erdogan fondly believes, their birthrate would not be well below replacement. Inshallah, dude. The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
’s interior minister on Saturday said that his country will one day bring about the "liberation" of Jerusalem, vowing to restore Ottoman Turkish control to the city that the Ottoman Empire ruled for hundreds of years.
The comments drew sharp rebuke from Israel, with the Foreign Ministry saying that the "Ottoman Empire is gone" and that Jerusalem "shall remain the eternal capital of Israel."
"Just as we witnessed the liberation of Damascus, Aleppo, and Karabakh, God willing, one day we will also witness the liberation of Jerusalem," Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said in a speech at a ruling AKP Party conference in the city of Corum.
Ciftci was referring to the December 2024 fall of the Assad regime in Syria at the hands of Ottoman Turkish-backed rebel bully boys, and the 2023 Azerbaijani capture and expulsion of Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnically Armenian breakaway state that controlled much of western Azerbaijan for decades.
In his speech, Ciftci recalled how he used to pray for God to grant him "governorship of Jerusalem, even if just for a single day."
"I still believe that the Almighty will show us those days," he said.
No matter how hard you clap your dear little hands, rosier palms will not make Tinker Bell live. “Just as in the past, those lands will be ours once again,” he vowed, saying: “God willing, they will come under our sovereignty and dominion once more.”
“Because we have a global leader like [Turkish President] His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
at our helm,” he said. “A world leader.”
For a given definition of the term, sure. But let us compare:
Turkey’s GDP per capita is about $18,000, with an aging population on the back of a below-replacement fertility rate of 1.42. Compare to Israel’s GDP at about $64,000 with a fertility rate of 3. Turkey’s consumer inflation is almost 25%, while despite being in the middle of a multi-year, multi-front war Israel’s is 2.2% with a strengthening currency. That’s because instead of physical things, Israel’s primary exports now are high tech services, while Turkey ships old-fashioned machines and vehicles and refined petroleum. Maybe if y’all hadn’t driven out most of your own Jews… After Çiftçi posted a clip of his speech on his X account, Israel’s Foreign Ministry issued a sharp rebuke, telling the senior minister to “wake up and smell the coffee.”
“The corrupt Ottoman Empire is gone. Forever,” the ministry said on X, adding that Jerusalem “shall remain the eternal capital of Israel. Forever.”
Mic drop.
