50,000 Turks Protest Israeli Invasion [SIZE=2]

Tens of thousand of Turkish people poured into streets of Istanbul on Sunday to protest the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip and the killing of innocent Palestinians by the Israeli army.
Approximately 50.000 people gathered at the Abide-I Hurriyet square in the Sisli district. Police took extensive security measures by searching the demonstrators before they entered the square.
The protestors chanted slogans against Israel and the US, condemning the killing of innocent people and the inaction of the international community to protect innocent citizens. "Butchers of Pharaohs: Israel and USA", "Wake-up Muslims", and "Farewell to Sharon, Devotion to Hamas" were the main slogans chanted at the demonstration.
The spokesman at the protest, which was organized by the pro-Islamic Happiness Party, said that world nations had turned a blind eye to the tragedy in the region as the Israeli army killed innocent people.
Some 50 Palestinians, most of them civilians, were killed by the Israeli army, which re-entered the Gaza Strip 12 days ago to rescue a soldier kidnapped by Palestinian armed groups.
Most Turkish people have strong sympathy for the Palestinians’ aspiration to establish an independent state, although Turkey has close relations with both Israel and the Palestine administration.

8O Ik dacht dat Turkije een bondgenoot van Israël was. En juist daarom, met de Arabieren slechte relatie had.
Wees gerust, tussen die 50 000 demonstranten zullen er ook heel wat Koerden zitten. Kom hier niet pleiten voor Koerdische onafhankelijk! :-D
De Turkse regering bestaat voornamijk uit moslimfundamentalisten. En de macht van het leger wordt met de dag ingeperkt. 8)
Ik wil van harte dat Turkije aan de Bevrijdingsoorlog deelneemt. Eens Turkije zich moeit met 'de Arabische zaak', dan zal Pakistan,Indonesië,Malesië, .. rap volgen.
