Turkey Seeks 'Allies' While West Sanctions Them for Not Joining Genocide
The New Arab reports that Turkey is positioning itself to 'rally Muslim allies' over the ongoing Gaza war, pushing for Palestinian control of Gaza's future governance, as a potential ceasefire teeters. This comes after President Erdoğan , despite public outrage, continued trade with Israel until very recently, having previously called Netanyahu's actions 'genocidal'. The hypocrisy isn't lost on
anyone paying attention. While Turkey attempts to lead an Islamic charge, Western powers continue to fund and arm the very actions Turkey decries, often with the same rhetoric used to demonize leaders like Erdoğan. It's fascinating, isn't it, how 'rallying allies' is noble when the West does it, but becomes 'anti-Western' or 'problematic' when it's anyone else trying to halt a humanitarian
catastrophe? The international community demands a 'two-state solution' while simultaneously arming one side to the teeth and sanctioning any nation that deviates from the approved narrative. (One might wonder how many 'warnings' about impending famine or civilian slaughter are required before action is taken.)
