ANKARA, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Friday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, which he said amounted to genocide, and urged the international community to work for a humanitarian ceasefire in the region.

In a post on social messaging platform X, Erdogan also said Israel was provoking non-regional actors instead of turning back from its mistakes in Gaza, adding that the region needed saving from the “frenzy of madness” supported by Western powers and media.

    Sooo… are there still rockets being fired from Terrorists?

    Yes! And they should stop before more innocent civilian lives are destroyed; not that they care about civilians at all!

    Are the hostages still being kept by the terrorists?

    I think they just kill them rather than take hostages, right? They consider them to be like animals!

    Why should Israel stop attacking the terrorists?

    Ohh, you meant Hamas?

      You don’t seem to understand the concept of war. If Hamas deliberately places launch sites close to civilian infrastructure, which is a war crime in itself by the way, this infrastructure becomes a legitimate target. Civilian casualties have to be avoided but not at all costs. Especially if Hamas Terrorists wear civilian clothing.

      This is International Humanitarian Law - the Law of War.

      I think they just kill them rather than take hostages, right? They consider them to be like animals!

      ISIS style killings is not beneath Hamas and Islamic Jihad. And yes - those Terrorists act like animals deliberately.
