Erdogan blames the Jews
The Economist, a magazine that is generally virulently anti-Israel, has come out in favor of the AKP's secular opposition in the upcoming Turkish elections. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is blaming the Jews. In a reaction which would be a parody if it weren’t sadly true, Erdoğan has blown a gasket. It’s not just the Economist’s fault, the prime minister explained. In reality, it’s a plot by world Jewry. “These calls have been well-timed, because they show that we are on the right track. They cannot make any decisions concerning Turkey,” Erdoğan said. “This international media, as they are supported by Israel, would not be happy with the continuation of the AKP government,” he continued.Michael Rubin notes that The Economist has gotten it right, but it's probably too late anyway.
