Netanyahu ‘is as bad as Paris terrorists’ - Turkish PM slams Israeli ‘crimes’

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Thursday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of crimes against humanity comparable to those behind the Paris attacks that left 17 dead last week. He said: “Netanyahu has committed crimes against humanity the same like those terrorists who carried out the Paris massacre.” His comments risk ratcheting up a new row in the increasingly tense relationship between the two countries after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blasted Netanyahu for “daring” to attend the weekend’s anti-terror solidarity march in Paris after the attacks.

Netanyahu is the head of a government which massacred children playing in the beaches in Gaza and destroyed thousands of houses.

Davutoglu said Netanyahu’s crimes included the 2010 Israeli assault on a Turkish aid vessel and last year’s onslaught on Hamas-controlled Gaza. In 2010, Israeli commandos stormed the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara, the largest ship in an aid flotilla for the besieged Gaza Strip. Nine Turks died in the raid and one more died in hospital this year after four years in a coma. Meanwhile nearly 2,200 Palestinians, mostly civilians, were killed in Israel’s offensive on Gaza earlier last year.
