Who wants to bet 100% of these people are anti-Erdogan?

A piece of shit can still be right, I would say the worst thing Israel has done is put Erdogan on the right side of a moral issue but we all know it isn't the worst thing Israel are doing.

That's... an opinion, I guess.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Well Israel is wrong in what they are doing, Erdogan is against it which puts him in the right and Israel are currently committing a genocide which means them making me agree with a piece of shit isn't the worst thing they are currently doing.

Maybe Mossad should stop operating in other sovereign nations

But then they'd be the only ones not doing so

How does “maybe an external spy agency should stop spying” have 6 upvotes?

Is your opinion that no government should spy on any other government?

On the other hand you have a strongman-on-his-way-to-dictator telling you that some people are enemies of the state and you’re just believing it as a surface truth.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Authorities were still searching for 13 others believed to have links to Israel’s Mossad security service, the Anadolu Agency reported.

The suspects were detained in raids in Istanbul and seven other provinces for allegedly planning to carry out activities that included “reconnaissance” and “pursuing, assaulting and kidnapping” foreign nationals living in Turkey, the agency reported.

The suspects were allegedly recruited to spy on Palestinians residing in Turkey as well as Israeli activists opposed to their government, Anadolu said.

The report comes weeks after the head of Israel’s domestic security agency, Shin Bet, said in an audio recording that his organization is prepared to destroy Hamas “in every place,” including in Lebanon, Turkey and Qatar.

But those ties quickly deteriorated after the Israel-Hamas war, with Ankara becoming one of the strongest critics of Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

Erdogan, whose government has hosted several Hamas officials in the past, has also said the militant group — considered a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States and the European Union — is fighting for the liberation of its lands and people.
