Yeah the Nazi's kicked them out, and where do you think they all went to?

Do you deny the Holocaust? The Nazis killed Jews, they did not simply kick them out.

With the history between the Jews and the Turks, and the number of Jewish families who make up quite a huge chunk of the upper class there, you have very little hope.

Turkish Jews Living Under Threat Of Extremism

By DAVID BEDEIN, Middle East Correspondent

Saturday, November 28, 2009

Jerusalem – A nervous Rabbi recently appeared at The Bulletin’s bureau in Jerusalem and related that the small Jewish community in Turkey feels threatened by the new Islamic resurgence and by the new Turkish alliance with Iran.

Here is a more recent article:


Turkey - Increase in Anti-Semitism Has More Jews Immigrating to Israel

August 29, 2010

“The street is influenced by the political atmosphere, and we are on the verge of desperation from life here,” a Jewish resident of Istanbul was quoted recently. “We love Turkey, but we will not be able to live in fear for so long.”

An official Israeli source, who spoke with Xinhua on Sunday on condition of anonymity, said that more Turkish Jews are purchasing homes in Israel as a “potential shelter in case of need” over the past year.

Nissim Yochai, 54, a successful textile entrepreneur, landed in Israel with his wife and son on Friday.

“The situation is scary,” Yochai told the newspaper. “I think that within five years not a single Jew will remain in Turkey.”

By supporting the Ottoman Empire, the Jews curried disfavor with the Christian Orthodox Greeks. In 1821-1829, during the Greek War of Independence, thousands of Jews were massacred alongside the Ottoman Turks. The Jewish communities of Mistras, Tripolis, Kalamata and Patras were completely destroyed. A few survivors moved north to areas still under Ottoman rule.
Rabbi E. Cohen, Athens, 1894

In the late 19th century, Greece attempted to regain the southern Balkan territories historically associated with Greek history and language. Jews and other ethnic groups were subject to "Hellenization," a movement to force them into accepting Greek custom and language. The Romaniot Jews of southern and northwestern Greece were already Hellenized to a large extent. The Hellinization was mostly problematic for the Sepharadim who only came under Greek rule after the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913.

In 1922-1923, there was a mass exodus of Greeks from Asia Minor. The refugees settled on the Greek mainland and created substantial economic competition between the Jews and the Greek refugees. This created a tense climate in which the Jewish district of Kampel in Salonika was burned in 1931. The suspects were thought to belong to the fascist Ethniki Enosis Ellas (EEE, National Union of Greece), although they were never found.

You are an idiot, read some history.

The holocaust is just a small part of the European revolt agains the Jews.

Greeks were a major part of the ethnic cleansing.

Not the Ottomans.

I find it ironic that a country who complains about being "occupied" seeks refuge from a country that actually occupies another one, through murder and illegalities.

Whats Ironic, s an invader occupier (aka Turkey) telling Israel it is guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. This very discusting shithole of a country is doing the same it is blasting Israel for. That Ironic, more hypocricy I would say.

Typical Turks, mine mine, yours mine.

I thought that was what Enosis was all about

Thats bollocks, Cyprus was never yours to decide what to do with it. We were blackmailed to share it under duress. The GC community had avery right to do as it pleased. (irrespective if I agree with Enosis or not, which I don't)

You are lucky we don't treat you the way the Jews treat the Arabs, that's why little pricks like you find the space to talk so much crap :lol

You just know when you post has cut it when you get a garbage response, with no susbstance just an insult. I stand by what I said, you just know its true.

Actually Cyprus was never yours to begin with, when we arrived who was the ruling class here?

You?

Could you possibly remind me when the last time was that you actually ruled the island?

Isaac Comnenus/Isak Komnen?

Is that "the" bastard? Or the Armenian bastard?

You got to be kidding!

Since when did the Greeks ethnically cleanse Jews? Greece was under occupation when the vibrant Jewish community was cleared out by the Nazis from Thessaloniki. Greeks and Jews lived in harmony for decades.

Get your facts right idiot!

Why the sudden need to walk hand in hand with Israel? I understand she is a military monster as do many countries around her to their cost So wanting to be under her umbrella is understandable seeing as the other military might is Turkey, but she is the USA,s poodle is she not, her illegal and suffocating occupation and blockade and its war crimes are massively subsidized by the US taxpayer.

Israel has attacked Gaza, Syria and the Lebanon in the last few years has,nt or won,t sign the NPT and has the biggest pile of nukes in the region. She will attack Iran next we all know that. Iran has,nt the capability to win a fight with Israel and in turn the USA as that is how it will pan out, all paid for by the US taxpayer, but what will really happen as muslims see yet another of its own attacked, is much more worrying.

This could lead to the worst case scenario that any of us could imagine.

The biggest threat of war in this region needs just this type of spark to start it. One that western govts hardly mention and that is between Sunni's and Shia's. Sunni and Shia tensions could be on the brink. I am talking about the lack of oil now to the whole of the west IF such a war happened. The US though has lots of reserves

But as most of these countries are not to fond of Israels treatment of the Palistinians to date I would,nt announce to loudly who you sleep with

You would find that you need Turkey for all that a lot more, just as the Jews do.

[Gasman]

Whenever I read any articles about how the EU needs Turkey more than Turkey needs the EU, or how the US needs to keep Turkey onside, or how Israel cannot afford to fall out with them ....

Funny, but I never see a mention of 'CYPRUS' anywhere?

Why do Cypriots seem to think they feature so largely on the world stage?

Cyprus hardly ever gets a mention in the World News. The last time it popped up now and then was when they were holding the elections in the 'TRNC'. Oh, and when they elected the only Communist President here. Turkey features daily.
