Comparing it to Hitler, Erdogan says Israel ‘will drown in the blood they shed’
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounces Israel once again in a campaign speech delivered Sunday, accusing Israel of genocide and comparing it to Nazi Germany’s Adolf Hitler.
“They kill women so that they will not give birth to Palestinians; they kill babies so that they won’t grow up; they kill men so they can’t defend their country … They will drown in the blood they shed,” he says, according to a translation by Reuters.
