Don't Cry For Me Israel

Israel can-do what Turks did ever since Palestinians backstabbed Turks. Israelis can let Palestinians to their misery like Turks left them face what they now face in the hands of Israelis, ironically.

“Don’t Cry For Me Israel” must be a puzzling request on two accounts. One, who is asking for it? Two, Israel is in no position to cry when it has such an ongoing sorrow to deal with. In that regard, what an absurd title for a post?

***

A carnage took place in Israel on 7 October. Naturally, the entire Western Civilization is outraged. As a result, no one there can tolerate anyone talking about “restraint”. Rightly so. However, let’s have a look if Israel can-do what Turks did a century ago.

How Turks did or why Turks did are good questions. In fact, it is bewildering what Turks would do after Palestinian atrocities. The atrocities were fifteen times more inhumane than what took place on 7 October. Yet Turks are still quiet about it.

OTTOMAN EMPIRE

Ottoman Turks built an empire around 1300. Two centuries later, in 1516 they finished off the Fatimid Empire of Egypt and took control of the entire Middle East. They ruled the entire region for 401 years. In 1917, they lost a war and the empire crumbled.

Brits did not win the war against the Ottoman Turks. Palestinians betrayed the Ottoman Turks. They switched sides and backstabbed Turks during the war. That is how the Ottoman Turks lost the Middle East to the West who suckered Arabs all the same.

No Vigilante Against BackStabbing Palestinians

Ottoman Turks or the current “Republican” Turks did not yet respond to the “backstabing Palestinians.” In fact, today Turks are one of the most vigilant supporters of the Palestinian cause.

So then, what gives?

Turkish States Operate Stately

Turkish history dates back 2200 years. They have built 17 empires to date. Currently, there are also 7 independent states. They simply do not operate on “vengeance”. They are stately in choosing time, place, and manner to respond in due process.

“Backstabbing Palestinians” is the single reason why the 16th Turkish state, the Ottoman Empire, collapsed in the Middle East. Palestinians sold their souls to Christian Brits. Some Muslims now question if some Palestinians are truly Muslims.

However Turks today, despite this historical “backstabbing” do not show grudge against Palestinians. In fact, it becomes even “absurd” when how “inhumanely” these Palestinians treated Turks then. Human mind cannot comprehend it.

Turkish States Care About Humanity

Meanwhile humanity has always been a priority for the Turks. That does not mean Turks were not the most vicious warriors in history. In other words, Turks were humane before and after a war, a war that they openly and fairly first declared.

Since the turn of the Millennia, Turks also reflected their humanitarian side. Currently, they are the biggest donor country in the world in proportion to their economy, for example. They are currently bigger donors than Americans.

During the Covid-19 months, Turkiye also reflected this edge. Factories worked in full capacity and entire Africa benefited from steady Turkish supplies. Italy and Spain were also the European beneficiaries, including some US states in dire need.

Circumstances Were 15 Times Worse For Turks

Just imagine a carnage that can be 15 times worse than 7 October 2023!

It is unimaginable. Yet, today, Turks do not bring this atrocity up. On the contrary, they still try to be level-headed to Palestinians with history against them.

What is wrong with these Turks, would surely be a more appropriate question, at this stage. No, it is not because they are Muslim brethrens. Turks judge everything from a humanitarian perspective first and last. In addition, they put “vengeance” aside.

It is also important to note that Turks are Muslims but they are not Arabs or Persians. For them, the entirety of the Muslim ummah is the same. In that context, they also view those that are beyond the Muslim ummah equally from a humanitarian perspective.

Palestinian Inhumanity Like No Other

Palestinians did not “backstabbed” Ottoman Turks during the war against Brtis. They also committed atrocity to torture unsuspecting Turkish soldiers in detention.

It is a facebook entry saying that the Turkish Armed Forces officially announced how 15 thousand Ottoman soldiers were blinded by Palestinians. Mother of all Inhumanities! That is why I called this post: “Don’t Cry for Me Israel!” It is hard to stomach what a human being can do to another. Maybe it puts into perspective what happened to 1000 perished and what is happening to the 100 abducted now.

They did not torture them. They murdered them by blinding 15 thousand of them.

That is how they murdered them. What human does that to another human being? What human does not respond to that equally, with vengeance? Yet, this is not the purpose of this post. It is only an example to put into perspective what just took place in Israel.
