       I told you that it would not be long before Jews explicitly come
       out in support of the Orthodox Church. Another prediction proven
       correct!
       As for Istanbul, Netanyahu is bullshitting, of course. Istanbul
       was originally called Byzantium:
       en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzas
       If he can accept its name being changed to Constantinople, why
       can he not accept its name being changed again to Istanbul?

       > The leaders of Hamas living outside the Gaza Strip are
       desperately searching for a country that will agree to have
       them. According to a recent report, one country seems prepared
       to play host to the Hamas leaders: Turkey.
       >
       > Two senior Hamas officials, Ismail Haniyeh and Saleh Arouri,
       have already decided to settle in Turkey, apparently after
       getting the green light to do so from Turkish President Recep
       Tayyip Erdogan. Three other Hamas officials, Zaher Jabareen,
       Musa Abu Marzouk and Nizar Awadallah, have also relocated to
       Turkey, from Qatar and Lebanon respectively.
       >
       > Haniyeh's wife and children, who are based in the Gaza Strip,
       are expected to join him in Turkey in the near future.
       > ...
       > Arouri, the other Hamas official expected to join Haniyeh in
       Turkey, is wanted by Israel and the US for his involvement in
       terrorism. In 2018, the US State Department offered a reward of
       up to $5 million for information that would lead to the
       identification or location of Arouri, deputy head of Hamas's
       "political bureau."
       >
       > According to the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism
       Information Center, Arouri is a key figure in forming ties
       between Hamas and Iran and Hezbollah, and is involved with the
       construction and handling of Hamas terrorist infrastructures in
       the West Bank. In 2014, Arouri, who has been shuttling between
       Lebanon and Turkey for the past few years, announced Hamas's
       responsibility for the June 12, 2014 kidnapping and murder of
       three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank.
       >
       > In 2015, Arouri left Turkey after unprecedented American and
       Israeli pressure on the Turkish authorities, according to a
       Hamas source. "He decided to leave Turkey voluntarily so as not
       to embarrass Turkey, which was facing huge pressure from Israel
       and the US Administration," the source said.
       >
       > In recent months, Haniyeh has become a regular visitor to
       Turkey, where he is warmly received by Erdogan and other senior
       Turkish officials.
       >
       > Last month, Haniyeh said that while Hamas has a "strategic
       relation" with Iran, it also maintains ties with Turkey and
       several other countries. "We need Arabs and Muslims to stand
       with us against the Deal of the Century," Haniyeh explained,
       referring to US President Donald Trump's recently unveiled plan
       for Middle East peace. "All Palestinian factions are entitled to
       preserve their strategy. Hamas believes that Palestine is from
       the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea. Hamas will not
       recognize Israel."
       >
       > Erdogan's reported willingness to host the Hamas leadership
       most likely comes from his longstanding support for the Muslim
       Brotherhood.
       >
       > Erdogan's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood go back to the 1970s,
       when he was one of the trusted political pupils of Necmettin
       Erbakan, the father of Islamism in Turkey.
       >
       > Lorenzo Vidino, director of George Washington University's
       Program on Extremism, pointed out that since the July 2013
       overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi as
       president of Egypt, Erdogan has sought to provide a safe haven
       for "persecuted" members of the movement.
       >
       > The Ahval news website noted, in addition, that the dozens of
       Muslim Brotherhood figures living in exile today in Turkey are
       some of the movement's most powerful and influential figures.
       "These Brotherhood leaders and their relatives live a
       comfortable life, under the protection of the Erdogan
       administration, the website revealed.
       >
       > As Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, Erdogan's
       reported readiness to welcome its leaders into Turkey comes as
       no surprise. It seems that Erdogan is trying to help the Muslim
       Brotherhood extend its influence across more regions while
       serving as the spiritual leader of the movement.
       >
       > If the reports about Erdogan's readiness to invite Hamas
       leaders to live in Turkey are true, that would also turn Erdogan
       into the spiritual father of a terrorist group that seeks to
       destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic state.
       >
       > It now remains to be seen whether the international community,
       including some Arab countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia,
       demand that Turkey distances itself from Hamas.
       >
       > A Hamas move to Turkey would mean the terrorist group would
       continue masterminding and carrying out terrorist attacks
       against Israel -- but this time, under the protective eyes of
       the Erdogan administration.

       personnel reported hearing shots being fired from the village of
       Marasia, on the Turkish bank of the Evros River, as reported by
       Ekathimerini. The Evros runs along the border.
       >
       > On Wednesday afternoon, Greek security forces on border patrol
       again reported Turkish soldiers firing shots near Tychero, a
       Greek village.
       >
       > These latest incidents followed similar reports from last
       week, when Turkish vessels in the Evros opened fire for no
       apparent reason. In another incident, a Turkish soldier fired a
       shot near German police who were patrolling the border, as
       previously reported by Voice of Europe.
       > ...
       > Turkish air and naval forces have also been making frequent
       violations of Greek territory in recent weeks. On Sunday, two
       Turkish fighter jets intercepted a helicopter that was carrying
       Greece’s top two military commanders and conducted dangerous
       manoeuvres around the craft before being chased away by Greek
       fighters, as also reported by Voice of Europe.

       Turkey also helped Ireland in a time of need, only for the aid
       to blocked by the British.
       Ottoman humanitarian aid to the Irish gripped by famine

       --- Quote ---
       > It is rumored that the Turkish poet and diplomat Yahya Kemal
       Beyatlı marveled at the support of an Irish delegate toward
       the Turkish delegation in comparison to the negative attitude
       displayed by the European delegates during the 1923 Lausanne
       Treaty negotiations. He later got the chance to ask the Irish
       delegate the reason behind his support. "Every Irishman like me
       is obliged to do it. We did not see any aid and support from
       other Europeans when we suffered from hunger and famine,
       struggling with death. But your ancestors sent us both money and
       ships of food. On this count, a large number of Irish people
       survived. We can never forget the humane hand reaching out to us
       in those tough days," the Irish delegate responded.
       >
       > Bitter memories
       >
       > In Ireland, where the majority of people were Catholic, all of
       the land was in the hands of about 10,000 British landlords,
       many of whom lived in Britain during those years. These holdings
       were rented to 600,000 Irish farmers. Since population density
       was high, rents were high, as well. Most of the crop was
       transported to England. In 1845, 1 million tons of grain and
       258,000 sheep were exported to England. Small pieces of land
       were rented to workers for small wages. Up to 4 million farmers
       and workers were raising potatoes, which were the only food
       source for their livelihood.
       >
       > In 1845, Ireland was suffering from a great famine, as were
       many European countries. The famine, also known as the Potato
       Famine, is one of the most important events in Irish history.
       The famine came out after the potatoes, the main food source in
       Ireland, were poisoned by a microscopic fungus called
       "phytophthora infestans," which was brought or came naturally
       from the Americas. Hence, a third of the crops were gone in
       1845. This crop loss reached 90 percent in the following year.
       >
       > The famine reached its peak in 1847, when the hungry Irish had
       to eat seeds to survive. The next year when imported seeds were
       used, half of the harvest was wasted. Although the famine ended
       in 1851, most of the Irish people either died or were forced to
       migrate to the United States. Thus, the population of 8 million
       was reduced to 5 million. The migrants never returned, but left
       sorrowful stories and memories behind.

       > Even though he did not receive a request, the generous and
       benevolent Ottoman sultan Sultan Abdülmecid decided to send
       10,000 pounds to Ireland as a donation. This was a gesture that
       earned the Ottomans a worldwide reputation for generosity.
       >
       > Even though Great Britain was the richest country in the world
       at that time, Queen Victoria was less generous to her subjects,
       the Irish, than the Sultan, and only gave 2,000 pounds to an
       Ireland in the grip of famine. Moreover, in order to protect its
       reputation, London asked the Ottoman government to reduce the
       sum to 1,000 pounds. The sultan then sent three sailboats full
       of food, medicine and seeds in addition to 1,000 pounds.
       >
       > At the time, Ireland was a colony of Great Britain. The
       British government did not allow the Ottoman aid vessels to dock
       near the port of Dublin. Then the vessels approached the port of
       Drogheda, located 30 miles away, and dropped the load there.
       >
       > While the fact that the Ottoman government extended a helping
       hand to a poor country, located 4,000 kilometers away, and to
       the people who were not even of their own religion, was an
       unprecedented act of generosity, it is also astonishingly
       surprising that the British government blocked aid to a country
       under its sovereignty.

       the generous philanthropy and interest shown to the suffering
       and grieving people of Ireland by His Majesty [Sultan
       Abdülmecid], and we would like to thank him for the generous

       people of Ireland and relieve their suffering."

       living miles away from them. Founded in 1919, Drogheda Football
       Club put a star and crescent on their emblem.

       > In May 2006, the Drogheda Municipality, celebrating its 800th
       anniversary, put a plaque of gratitude on the wall of the
       municipal building (today's Westcourt Hotel), which hosted the
       Ottoman sailors who brought the aid 150 years ago at that time,
       in order to honor the memory of this incident.

       summarizes the history of humanity, which can be told in
       volumes, in a few sentences.

       > At the ceremony, Drogheda Mayor Alderman Frank Goddfrey,
       drawing attention to the star and crescent on the city emblem,
       said, "I hope that the plaque of gratitude will be a symbol of
       friendship between the peoples of the two countries." Ireland's
       Great Hunger Museum director also emphasized that they were
       grateful to the Turkish people and the Ottoman Empire.
       >
       > Even though an Irish journalist has recently claimed that the
       donation was a myth - there is no record of the donation in the
       register of the port authorities - adding that the star and
       crescent on the city emblem dates back to the 1210s, this aid
       from the Ottomans has taken its place in the national conscience
       of the Irish people.
       >
       > Irish President Mary McAleese, who supported Turkey in its EU
       affairs, recalled this incident when she visited Turkey. "The
       Irish people have never forgotten this rare generosity. The
       symbols on your flag, this beautiful star and crescent, became
       the symbol of the city. We even see these beautiful Turkish
       symbols on the football team's uniforms," McAleese said.

       > Turkish VP refutes EU threat for sanctions as Turkish military
       gets ready to carry out military exercises off Cyprus.

       --- Quote ---
       > Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay has slammed a recent threat
       by the European Union to slap Ankara with sanctions as
       "hypocritical" as his country prepares to carry out a military
       drill off the coast of Cyprus amid tensions in the eastern
       Mediterranean.
       >
       > Oktay's comments on Saturday came a day after Josep Borrell,
       the EU's foreign policy chief, said the bloc was preparing to
       impose sanctions on Turkey - including tough economic measures -
       unless progress is made in reducing soaring tensions with Greece
       and Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean.
       >
       > "It is hypocritical for the European Union to call for
       dialogue and, simultaneously, make other plans regarding
       Turkey's activities within our continental shelf in the Eastern
       Mediterranean," Oktay said on Twitter.
       >
       > "We are proficient in the language of peace and diplomacy, but
       do not hesitate to do the necessary thing when it comes to
       defending Turkey's rights and interests. France and Greece know
       that better than anyone."
       >
       > The long-running dispute between Turkey and Greece, both NATO
       members, flared after both agreed to rival accords on their
       maritime boundaries with Libya and Egypt, and Turkey sent a
       survey vessel into contested waters this month.

       > Erdogan nurtures elite mercenary force to rival Russia's
       Wagner Group
       > ...
       > The US allegations have fuelled the growing sense of intrigue
       around Sadat Group in Turkey, which Mr Erdogan's opponents say
       acts like a private presidential army. They draw comparisons
       with Russia's Wagner Group, which does foreign military
       operations for President Vladimir Putin, including fighting for
       General Heftar's forces in Libya.
       >
       > The claims come as Mr Erdogan seeks to expand Turkey's
       military influence abroad, restoring its Ottoman-era glory as
       the Islamic world's foremost power. He is currently in a
       stand-off with European leaders over his decision to resume gas
       exploration in contested waters around Greece and Cyprus, parts
       of the Mediterranean that Turkey regards as its backyard.
       >
       > A former special forces commander, Mr Tanriverdi was among a
       group of officers allegedly forced out of the military in the
       late 1990s because they shared Mr Erdogan's Islamist leanings.
       He set up Sadat Group with other ex-colleagues in 2012, although
       unlike other most soldiers of fortune, who simply work for the
       highest bidder, he has an ideology: to train Muslim nation's
       armies to the point where they are no longer reliant on Western
       help.
       >
       > Or, as his website, which has flashy videos of elite forces in
       training, puts it:  "The aim of Sadat Defense is to help the
       Islamic World take the place where it merits among Super
       Powers."
       >
       > Sadat, he claims, operates like any other modern private
       military firm, offering governments training in soldiering and
       counter-insurgency. However, like Wagner Group, its activities
       are swathed in secrecy, with Mr Tanriverdi declining to say
       publicly in which countries it has set up operations.
       >
       > That has not stopped Turkey's opposition politicians, who have
       a tense relationship with Mr Erdogan, detecting Sadat's hand in
       all manner of skulduggery. As well as allegedly training
       Islamist fighters in Syria and Libya, the group is accused of
       giving the president behind-the-scenes help in defeating the
       attempted military coup against him in 2016. Sadat officers, it
       is claimed, were involved in some of the vicious street fighting
       that took place in Istanbul as the coup was quelled.
       >
       > Those suspicions stemmed partly from the fact that shortly
       after the coup, Mr Erdogan made Mr Tanriverdi his chief military
       advisor. He resigned earlier this year, after a controversial
       speech in which he said Sadat was paving the way for the return
       of the Mahdi, a Messianic figure in Islam.

       Can tensions between Turkey and NATO be contained?
       --- Quote ---
       > For decades, Turkey's membership in NATO was seen as a
       stabilizing force.
       > The Atlantic Alliance helped both to anchor the country in the
       western world and to cool tensions with neighbouring Greece. But
       21st century Turkey is a more assertive power.
       > It has interests in both the Middle East and Central Asia and
       those may not sit comfortably with its role in the North
       Atlantic alliance.

       Why Are Gulf Nations Uniting Against Turkey?
       --- Quote ---
       > Turkey and the United Arab Emirates have found themselves on
       the opposing sides of many Middle East conflicts from the Syrian
       civil war, the coup in Egypt to the murder of Saudi journalist
       Jamal Khashoggi. There's also an emerging 'anti-Turkey' alliance
       among the Gulf nations. The UAE's foreign minister accused
       Turkey of 'interference in the affairs of Arab countries,' and
       most recently, a leading Saudi business leader called for the
       boycott of 'everything Turkish.' So why are these Arab countries
       uniting against Ankara?
