Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has refused to cut ties with Hamas under US pressure in the wake of the terror group’s attacks on Israel.

“First of all, Hamas is a reality of Palestine, it is a political party there and it entered the elections as a political party and won,” Erdogan said in remarks released by his office.

    Right? All this shitting on Turkey for not cutting ties with Hamas but nobody bats a fucking eye at the US sending fucking bunker busters to Israel so that they can bomb schools and hospitals.

    And then they wonder why the likes of Hamas exist like some moronic existential question of liberty and life. Jfc.

    Turkey shouldn’t cozy up to Hamas, US shouldn’t cozy up to Israel. Enough.
