Point is Turkey is responding to threats in the same way Israel is, yet when Israel does it, Erdogan goes off on a tangent about genocide and "Zionist Terrorism" etc, those are the double standards. PKK and Hamas both operate the same way, they kill people indiscriminately in order to achieve their political goals, and the response to such actions must equally be met with force.

The nonsense of the large text overshadowing the small text.
We have never committed ethnic cleansing against the Kurds. The Turkish state is the country that unofficially/indirectly established the Kurdish administration in northern Iraq. We trained and equipped around 200,000 of their soldiers called Pesmergha.
2024 Erdogan shaking hands with Kurdish leader Barzani behind Kurdistan..
The only sources of income for the people in this region are goat milk and oil. The oil from this region is sold through Turkey, through a pipeline called the Kirkuk-Ceyhan Pipeline; without Turkey, these people would only be able to sell goat milk. We have built over 500 dams on rivers in the region, and if we wanted, we could dry up the Middle East as far as Kuwait, making even agriculture impossible—then you would see what genocide looks like.
Ceasefire now???
I don’t know if you’re aware, but the fight against the PKK has already pushed them out of Turkey’s borders, and these militants now live in mountains and caves. The Kurdish people, whom you believe are victims of genocide, are actually most oppressed by the PKK itself. They bully these people, using guerrilla warfare as an excuse to steal their living materials (food etc) They bully the Kurdish people living in cities and extort money from them. They engage in mafia-like activities against their own people. They sell every type of drug and smuggled goods to Turkey to fund their militia and political marionettes. In fact, they also smuggle those refugees you Westerners don’t like across the border for a fee, as they somehow need financial assistance. They force their own daughters own Kurdish people into prostitution and even compel desperate women, particularly those from Russia and Ukraine, into prostitution in Turkey. There is even a term used in Turkey for this, "
Natashas."
gEnECoiDinG kUrdIsTaN yeah yeah
In fact here; Turkey and N. Kurdistan are fighting against this bullies. Even Peshmerga got so many martyrs against PKK.
PKK activity mostly mountain areas,caves and refuuge camp called Makhmur where PKK militas families live.
Peshmerga area real Kurds
Iraqi Goverment
Bases
That was PKK what NATO & EU even recognized.
But things changed in Syria beginning of 2010s when PKK armed wing HPG assisted their Syrian branch called PYD & armed wing YPG against Assad. PYD aka PKK gained huge cities instead of few caves in Iraq. And yes ZIONISTS & US created chaos in Iraq and that chaos caused ISIS to pop up when US destroyed Iraqi Sunni goverment replaced by Shia one all ex Republican Guards have turned into a more fanatical and brutal organization than Al-Qaeda. To clear this mess America used this Syrian PKK remnants as cannonfodders to reduce war costs. The terrorism that Turkey has buried in the mountains of Iraq over the last 30 years was resurrected due to the nonsense the Americans created in Iraq, and on top of that, they provided them with thousands of weapons.
In fact, with these weapons, dozens of Turkish soldiers and civilians have been killed; just this week, a terrorist attacked a NATO partner, the strongest alliance of the United States, with an
M4 rifle.
Let me explain it more easily with a real example;
Imagine right now there is a ISIS insurgency in Egypt called sinai isis insurgency. Every week Egyptians fight this g.fcrs.
Then suddenly, America wants to use Hamas, the best cheap and free organization in the region, to eliminate these terrorists. They give tons of weapons to Hamas. Israel says this is wrong and turns a blind eye until ISIS is defeated. However, Hamas, now armed, poses a threat to Israel, and when Israel strikes them, some label it as genocide.
Don't treat people like fools. This is what America doing towards Turkey.
As for Israel they supported Kurdish fully independence of from Iraq in 2017.
This was clearly an enmity for the sovereignty of Iran, Syria, and Turkey. Because the reason for complete independence while there was already autonomy was to drag the countries into a civil war.
Our double standard is this: the Turkish state is not foolish. Our intelligence services are aware of certain things, specifically that Mossad is supplyng our enemies, which is why we are also pursuing a tooth-for-tooth foreign policy.
We all know that Hamas is barbaric in Turkey. In fact, we Turks don't even like Arabs. We see zionists nor arabs same.
Since the
Sykes-Picot Agreement, we have been aware of our enemies, those who betray us, and those with treacherous plans.
Also...
America accusing Erdoğan of Islamism while keeping a cult leader (Gülen) in Pennsylvania is another example of their
double standards for us. The country that brings democracy and secularism to everyone to world mr world police is hosting a postmodern imam in its backyard in Pennsylvania...
Imagine we feed Bin Laden in Istanbul what will you say ?
. PKK and Hamas both operate the same way, they kill people indiscriminately in order to achieve their political goals
The world is not a utopia. The United States is a state built on the land of the annihilated Native Americans. No one in the world is innocent. If we Turks, as the Ottomans, had done what America did, the Balkans would be Turkish today. If we had done what America did as the Seljuks, everywhere from Iran,Arabia to Pakistan would be Turkish. As a nation that has been in the Middle East for 1,200 years, we are the last people to be accused of anything, especially of genocide.
