Re: Images coming from Gaza trouble Athens: Greek Foreign Minister

You criticized about any Jewish extremists. I do give you credit for criticizing Hamas too (which shamelesss Erdogan frames as “freedom fighters”. However you ignore the extreme nationalists that play on your own team. You only point fingers. You don’t look at the same extreme behavior by a segment of Turkish society.

” get it, for you ‘Nationalism’ is a dirty word. There’s no such thing as good/moderate Nationalism, they’re all bad.”

No you don’t. For me nationalism is not a bad word like leftists treat the word.. Nationalism is just another way of saying people have identities. And there is nothing wrong with that. It’s in fact part of freedom. There is however such a thing as too much nationalism where love of one’s own group and culture morphs into blind hatred of others. This type of nationalism is EXTREME nationalism. This is why I keep adding the qualifier EXTREME. It’s the mentality of Nazis. Extreme nationalists justify every action under the veneer of defense of their nation. They are racists that irrationally stereotype everyone of a particular group as being as being the same because they have embraced their hate. They’ve allowed themselves to become the very monsters they claim to be against.

“As far as your concerned Nationalism needs eradicating from this world”

If you believed that you would not support extreme nationalism peddled by groups like MHP whom you claim “nice people”
