Unge tyrkiske jøder forlader landet pga. den stigende antisemitisme, der forstærkes af den islamistiske AKP regerings modvilje mod Israel og jøder.
Der er omkring 15.000 jøder i Tyrkiet, og de fleste emigrerer til Europa og USA.
Fra artiklen:
Blatantly anti-Semitic statements by Turkish leaders have become almost routine; from the country's Deputy Prime Minister accusing a dark conspiracy by "Diaspora Jewry" as being behind the mass "Gezi Park" anti-government protest movement, to similar comments made by Erdogan himself.
The Turkish Prime Minister's long history of anti-Semitism is no secret. Prior to his stint as PM, in 1998 Erdogan - then mayor of Istanbul - infamously declared that "the Jews have begun to crush the Muslims in Palestine, in the name of Zionism. Today, the image of the Jews is no different than that of the Nazis."
