The US Treasury’s top terrorism financing official conveyed Washington’s ‘profound’ alarm about Ankara’s past relations with Hamas during a visit to Turkey this week

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has refused to cut ties with Hamas under US pressure in the wake of the terror group’s attacks on Israel.

“First of all, Hamas is a reality of Palestine, it is a political party there and it entered the elections as a political party and won,” Erdogan said in remarks released by his office.

      Yeah, I think more world leaders should talk about the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds and how PKK are just freedom fighters. If it wasn’t for Erdogan, there wouldn’t even be a PKK.

          That much money? Just from the US? Wow.

          If they spend money from just one year, for the Palestinians they have killed up until now, they paid 215,000 USD per dead Palestinian (I am calculating with 14k dead).

          I mean if they really wanted to kill all Palestinians they surely would have come up with a more cost effective solution. They are Jews after all. Don’t you agree?
