BREAKING: Turkish leader Erdogan: "Hamas is not a terrorist group but rather a group of fighters defending their homeland." No, Hamas is a Terrorist group. When you go into a music celebration, slaughter men, women and children on purpose and then kidnap babies and elderly people, you are not... a "group of fighters". You are a TERRORIST! PERIOD! Erdogan is clearly a terrorist-supporter. He then implies that Israel are the real terrorists. I wonder what Erdogan would do if a Syrian or Armenian "group of fighters" came into Turkey, slaughtered kids and kidnapped 150 Turkish civilians.show more

It’s real simple, both sides are terrorist groups

I disagree. I think that Israel is heavy handed at time, but there are rockets still being fired at them from Gaza. What are they supposed to do? Just let it happen?

Turkey being let into NATO was the silliest move of all time. Basically made NATO useless. They get what they want or they flood Europe with migrants they can’t handle. They have very few aligned interest with the west.

I'm not really surprised by his statements though, unfortunately.

By that definition, Israel and USA are MUCH BIGGER terrorist groups than Hamas.

Wow! Erdogan is based! The whole world designates Hamas as a terrorist group so he's opposing the opinion of the rest of the planet. Looks as if Turkey will also be opposing US in any ensuing war Not sure that the music festival slaying be paratroopers was real though, it may have been faked... by Israel

Oh, come on. So you’re suggesting that Israel slaughtered their own women and children because they want a war with Hamas? What exactly are you saying here?

This is not okay. If you deny Hamas being a terrorist organization, you have no place in society. Hamas carried out one of the most brutal attacks in history. How can anyone defend Hamas?

Imagine, denying that Hamas is a terrorist organization, while at the same time implying that Israel is.

Hamas; “We must defend our homeland. I know. Let’s butcher 1400+ Israelis including women and children, cut off their heads, shoot them in front of parents and loved ones, and kidnap a few hundred. That should stop the oppressors from attacking us.”
