Is Nasrallah calling for blind support to Turkey?
تركيا ستتعرض لضغط كبير وعلينا مساندتها
Sayyed Nasrallah mentioned that Turkey will undergo pressure to stop their criticism and go back to their ally, Israel. He also asked his supporters to back Turkey when any pressure takes place.
Is he asking for blind support to Turkey even for the inhuman acts done by Turkey?
Here are some issues that he should consider before making such statement:
- 10,000 political prisoners in Turkish jails
- Kurdish Repression in Turkey
- Children as political prisoners (2008 Human Rights Report: Turkey)
- Just like Israel is carrying a blockage on Gaza, in 1993 Turkey joined the illegal blockade against Armenia in support of Azerbaijan
- Occupying and colonizing the northern half of the Republic of Cyprus, a sovereign country, member of the UN and the EU.
- Imprisonment and assassination of journalists (and their lawyer).
and the list continues…
Even though I have full respect to Sayyed Nasrallah, I can’t accept such request coming out from his mouth.
We supported and condemned what happened to the Flotilla because it’s humanitarian issue without looking into the political gains that the criminal nation of Turkey will be getting from the issue so let’s put politics aside and be humanitarians for once.

well nasrallah is helping any country fighting against israel. and turkey is one…
