Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s attack against Jews, stating that he was hardly in any position to be preaching morality.
“Erdogan – the occupier of northern Cyprus, whose army massacres women and children in Kurdish villages, inside and outside Turkey should not preach to Israel,” Netanyahu said.

Muslims, Erdogan said, will confront the Jews “if they have the courage to deal with us, and we will teach them a lesson.”
Earlier this year, Erdogan said that Israel had shown itself to be a “terrorist state” by attacking Palestinians with tanks and artillery, claiming that the spirit of Adolf Hitler had re-emerged among some Israeli policy-makers.
