“Protesters before the Israel’s consulate in Istanbul showed hatred toward the Jewish people. There are anti-Semitist slogans everywhere in billboards. Jewish people living in Turkey feel themselves under threat and pressure. It is clear that there is connection between raising anti-Semitism and instigations by the officials”.
American-Jewish Committee (AJC), Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CPMAJO), Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs (JINSA) and B’nai Brith organization.
ADL chairman Abraham Foxman told Milliyyet newspaper that Prime Minister Receb Tayib Erdogan’s statements contributed to the anti-Semitism in Turkey. “Turkey was our friend. I am sorrowful and confused. You may not like the Israel’s policy, but there is a method of criticism. It is clear that the Prime Minister chose the words carefully. He is using very sharp words”.
Representative of other Jewish organization reminded about that they opposed the recognition of “Armenian genocide” in the Congress for long years. “This time it will be difficult. Earlier we supported you not only for the fair case of Turkey, but also it was our friend. Now it is difficult to say that Turkey is our friend”.
