Likud launches billboard ahead of elections with the four Horses Asses of the Apolcalypse

Likud has apparently decided that the best way to kick off election season is to remind Israelis that, when it comes to political enemies, there is always room for a few more.

The party unveiled a billboard featuring Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem. Israeli social media accounts shared images of the billboard Sunday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helpfully reposted the image with the caption: “Don’t let them win.”

The billboard itself reportedly reads: “They want Netanyahu to lose, don’t let them win.”

The Jerusalem Post, however, believes the billboard is not actually in Jerusalem, as social media posts claimed, but in Tel Aviv overlooking the Ayalon Highway. Apparently even billboards are getting caught up in the Israeli election geography dispute.

Naturally, Israeli politicians were not going to let Likud have all the fun.

Yashar, the party led by former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, produced its own version. Its billboard read: “They want the IDF to collapse, don’t let Netanyahu win.”

“Netanyahu, we fixed for you,” the X/Twitter caption read. “Only Eisenkot will establish a fully Zionist government.”

Then MK Naama Lazimi entered the fray with perhaps the most politically loaded Photoshop job of the day.

She replaced Likud’s four villains with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Netanyahu’s current strategic adviser Yonatan Urich, former media adviser Eli Feldstein, and former political adviser Srulik Einhorn, all of whom are believed to be connected to the Qatargate affair.

Qatargate concerns an investigation into Netanyahu aides who allegedly received payments from Qatar while involved in hostage negotiations with Hamas. Nothing says Israeli political unity quite like accusing your opponent of being compromised by the country associated with Hamas.

Lazimi changed the billboard's message to: “They want Netanyahu to win, don’t let them lose.”

“Netanyahu, I updated this to the Qatargate version,” she wrote. “The invoice will be submitted on October 7.”

At this point, Israeli election campaigning has apparently evolved into a national Photoshop competition with the added benefit of an occasional national security implication.

And the polls suggest voters have plenty of choices. Eisenkot’s Yashar currently leads with 24 Knesset seats, followed by Netanyahu’s Likud with 22 and Naftali Bennett’s B'Yachad with 15.

The election has not even arrived yet, and the candidates are already putting each other on billboards with Ayatollahs, terrorists, foreign leaders and alleged scandal participants.

Israelis may want to buckle up. Election season is apparently going to be a long one.

Erdogan Says Israel’s ‘Aggression’ Threatens Turkey, Entire Mediterranean Region, And Also His Own Long List Of Grievances

ANKARA—Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Wednesday that Israel’s continued existence poses an existential threat to Turkey, the Mediterranean, world peace, small puppies, and probably his approval ratings.

Erdogan also said there were initiatives, led by Israel, to destabilize the Mediterranean region and warned that "nobody should chase adventures" or join Israel's "boat of mischief." He was not referring to Greta Thunberg and her scumcrumpet voyagers.

The NATO member, which has spent years perfecting the art of being furious at Jews while cozying up to every Islamist troublemaker in the region, blasted Israel as the biggest obstacle to peace. Turkey has helpfully halted all trade with Israel and demanded the international community do something, preferably involving strongly worded letters and zero self-reflection.

"The attacks by (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and his network of murder on Lebanon and Syria have brought the issue to a point where it also threatens Turkey," Erdogan told lawmakers from his ruling AK Party in parliament, and added that Ankara's security was tied to that of these two countries.

Erdogan also said Israel was leading a "sneaky effort" to destabilize African countries and the Mediterranean by igniting "the fire of discord" on the ethnically split island of Cyprus. "These small entities, whose ambitions far exceed their size, have boarded Israel's boat of mischief, taken on the role of Zionist subcontractors, and are pursuing some pipe dreams in the Eastern Mediterranean," he said, without elaborating, thinking his audience were idiots.

Turkey blames Israeli provocations for starting US-Iran war and for rainy days and Mondays.

"Nobody should chase adventures... I want everyone to know that if the rights of Turkey and Turkish Cypriots are violated in the Eastern Mediterranean, our response will be very clear and very strong."

Turkey, Iran's neighbor, has blamed Israel's "provocations" for starting the US-Iran war, because apparently nothing bad ever happens in the Middle East unless the Jews make it happen. Erdogan [who obviously read Surah Al-Ma'idah in the Qur'an] on Wednesday urged world powers to take a clearer stance against Israel, saying it was emboldened by the "silence of the international community."

"Pulling Israel back to within the bounds of the rule of law has become a shared duty not just for certain countries, but for all of humanity," he said.

Netanyahu hits back at 'anti-Semitic' Erdogan, 'oppressor,' genocide against Kurds. 

In an X/Twitter post, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back at Erdogan, saying, "The anti-Semitic dictator Erdoğan, who is committing genocide against the Kurds, backing the Hamas terrorist organization, oppressing his own people, and imprisoning his political rivals, is the last person who should be lecturing the State of Israel."

"The State of Israel and the IDF, the most moral military in the world, will continue to act decisively against Iran and its proxies, which threaten the Middle East and the entire world," Bibi added.

At press time, Erdogan was reportedly preparing a strongly worded speech about how only Turkey is allowed to have ambitions in the Mediterranean, because reasons.

Turkey, a NATO "ally" says Israel 'cannot live without hostility' then says Turkey may invade it

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Monday that Israel was seeking a new enemy and could soon set its sights on Turkey. Those remarks came just a day after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sharply escalated rhetoric by threatening possible military action against the Jewish state.

"After Iran, Israel cannot live without hostility," Fidan said during an extensive interview with the Turkish state-run news agency Anadolu. The Turkish minister accused Jerusalem of fostering "a new rhetoric" to justify its aggression in the region and declare Turkey an enemy.

The official further argued that this trend extended "not only to Netanyahu’s administration" but also "to certain figures within the Israeli opposition," though he did not specify whom he was referring to.

Fidan warned that Israeli military activity could next extend to Syria, where the IDF operated last year in what it said were efforts to protect the Druze minority in the south. He cautioned that such actions could create broader "risks" across the region. "Because of the ongoing war in Iran, [Israel] is not doing certain things right now," he said. "Later, when the time comes, it may want to act."

Fidan's comments follow remarks made on Sunday by Erdogan, suggesting that Ankara could soon choose to engage militarily with Israel.

At this rate, Turkey's next big diplomatic move will probably be demanding that Israel apologize for the Crusades while simultaneously shopping for new Ottoman Empire cosplay outfits. Classic NATO ally behavior.

Dictator Erdogan compares Israel to Nazi Gernamy

Turkey President Recep Tayyipyipyip Erdogan compared Israel to Nazi Germany, which was a country in which scumcrumpets like him praised for killing six million Jews. But the moron dictator accused the Jewish state of committing a "cultural genocide" against people from the make believe country of Palestine.

Like all Islamists, Erdogan has it ass-backwards. Take any Jew in "Palestine" and let it be known to the Muslims that he's a Jew, and he will have the life expectancy of a moth at a campfire. Take any "Palestinian" and have them live in Israel and he will become a big businessman, if he's smart enough. Jews don't kill Palestinians for some religious reason, but Palestinians kill Jews because of what is in their scripture.

Erdogan spoke at a conference on Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, held in Istanbul. “Today, the Palestinians are subjected to pressures, violence and intimidation policies no less grave than the oppression done to the Jews during WWII,” he said, according to a transcript of his speech posted to his website.

“To us, it does not matter who the perpetrator is. Both of these are massacres, atrocities and oppressions. Shelling with bombs the children playing on the beach of Gaza is as serious a crime against humanity as the inhumane crime called the Holocaust.”

But Hamas does their attacks from mosques or schools because they know the Israelis won't strike back most of the time because they don't want to hurt innocent civilians, whereas Hamas launches rockets at school buses hoping to kill innocent children and civilians. Ass-backwards.

It was not clear what Erdogan was referring to, though he may have been talking about an incident during the 2014 Gaza war in which four children were killed.

Turkey opposes oppression “no matter where it takes place and regardless of its identity, faith, ethnic or cultural origin,” Erdogan said, rejecting claims that his aforementioned claims could be viewed as anti-Semitic, which, of course, they are.

On Saturday, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison formally recognized West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. It took a while, but he finally did it. He also announced his intention to open a defense and trade office in Jerusalem, though he stressed that Canberra would not move its embassy there before a final Israeli-Palestinian peace deal has been reached, which will be several centuries from now and after all the cows come home.

So far, only the US and Guatemala have their embassies in Jerusalem. The Czech Republic recently opened an honorary consulate and a cultural center in the city.

Strife has been ignited between Sunni and Shiite Muslims due to their blatant intolerance to everyone of different belief, Erdogan lamented, without mentioning the intolerance part that I mentioned.

I could write more of what Erdogan bloviated, but I don't want to bore you with nonsense. Suffice it to say, all Middle East theocracies look forward to the day that Israel and the Jews no longer exist. And allowing this to happen to the Jewish people will be our demise, regardless of our beliefs.

Don't buy into this garbage.

Berlin tells Erdogan: we don't want to hear you

Berlin -- Germany said that it rejected a request by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to speak to ethnic Turks in Germany next week while at the G20 summit.

Erdogan, you may recall, allowed (or ordered) his goons to brutally attack Kurdish protesters at the Turkish embassy in the U.S. He is also turning Turkey into yet another Islamic theocratic state.

Berlin-Ankara relations have deteriorated over Turkey's mass arrests of alleged state enemies after a failed coup last year along with other civil rights issues. That's what tends to happen when a dictator steps in, especially one using the guise of religion to gain power.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said they received a request for Erdogan to be able to address members of three million Turkish diaspora in the European Union.

"I explained weeks ago to my Turkish colleagues that we don't think that would be a good idea," Gabriel said while visiting Russia. He pointed to the lack of adequate police resources around the July 7-8 (G20) summit in Hamburg.

"I also said quite frankly that such an appearance would not be appropriate given the current adversarial situation with Turkey." However, he stressed that Erdogan would be "received with honors" at the summit.

Social Democratic Party candidate for chancellor Martin Schulz said that "foreign politicians who abuse our values must not be allowed to give inflammatory speeches in Germany."

"I don't want Mr. Erdogan, who is jailing members of the opposition and journalists in Turkey, to hold large-scale events in Germany," Schulz told the Bild. 

Ties have been extremely strained since the failed coup last July in Turkey. Tensions have worsened over a referendum campaign to expand Erdogan's powers, much like that of Egypt's Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Morsi was finally removed from office when he tried to expand his power and rule Egypt like a theocratic nation. Hopefully, the same will happen to Erdogan.

Europe is up to its eyeballs in refugees

"We will welcome them on the beaches. We will welcome them in our cities. We will welcome them with blood, sweat and tears. By Jimminy, there will always be a Germany." Angela Merkel's subconscious. 

According to the president of the European Union, Donald Tusk, the waves of refugees entering Europe may be coming to an end.

"The practical capability of Europe to host new waves of refugees, not to mention irregular economic migrants, is close to its limits," Tusk said at a news conference at the Group of 20 summit on Sunday. 

He urged the rest of the world to get on the bandwagon and make the same effort [aka mistake] as he made and take in as many refugees as they can and watch what happens to their economy and national security.

"Only global efforts supporting refugees and their host communities will be able to bear fruit," Tusk babbled on. "That is why we want to encourage our partners to increase humanitarian and development aid, as well as refugee resettlement. We need to address the root causes that force millions of people to leave their homes and seek shelter elsewhere," he added, never once mentioning Islamic terrorism that has been a global plague since Muhammed first married a six year old.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel believes she saw the possibility of a "positive outcome" to negotiations between Turkey and the EU on a visa waiver for Turks, but thought that it will still take weeks to work. 

After she made this claim, she passed the crack pipe to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who took a deep hit, agreed with Merkel that there was still work to be done, and passed the pipe to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"We should build an open world economy," Xi said to an audience that included President Obama (who chomped at the bit when he saw the pipe), Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister Theresa May, as well as leaders from South Korea, Japan, India and other governments.

The idea of scrapping visas for Turks entering the EU was to be an incentive for Turkey to agree on a deal to curb the scramble of migrants across the Aegean Sea. The deal is conditional, however, on a host of things such as how it defines terrorism and what constitutes an act of terror--this, to ensure that journalists and academics aren't arrested due to these claims made on them.

China would like to use its status at the G-20 to increase its influence in economically managing the world. Chinese officials say they want the G-20 to take on a longer-term regulatory role, and if China gets everything it wants, we will all be subservient to them.

Global trade growth this year has totally sucked at 2.8%. Leaders at the G-20 warn that they will call for "inclusive growth," a move to defuse pressure to protect local industries by spreading the benefits of "closer global integration to millions of people who have been left behind by wrenching changes," reported the AP. 

What this seems to translate to is that the G-20 is calling for total government control of world economies and trade which is a nicer way of saying 'socialism.'

Obama stressed how much he digs that idea when he spoke at a separate news conference with Theresa May.

Kid kills 51, injures 69 at a weddihg

Another suicide bombing at a Turkish wedding killed at least 51 people and wounded dozens more. The jihadist, in this case, was a boy between 12 and 14 years of age. ISIS has taken credit for the child's terrorist act.

The media claims that the terror attack had nothing to do with Islam, or says that it's a perversion of the religion of peace.

The media is as wrong as a Clinton voter.

Killing anyone considered to be an infidel is simply another part of Islam that practitioners choose to follow. And an infidel, the way ISIS sees it, is anyone who doesn't practice Islam as they do. is an infidel a therefore deserves to die if they refuse to convert.

Back to Turkey. 

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, spoke on a live TV address at Istanbul City Hall. He explained that there is "absolutely no difference" between ISIS, Kurdish rebels and the U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen's movement, calling them terrorists. Of the 69 wounded, Erdogan said that at least 17 were in critical condition.

The remains of the suicide vest was recovered at the site along with human smithereens of the boy.

"We stand with the people of Turkey as they defend their democracy in the face of all forms of terrorism [especially the one form that causes the most death and destruction: Islam]. We are in close touch with Turkish authorities," National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said. He called the attack "barbaric," doing his best "Captain Obvious" imitation.

Earlier in the week, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was blamed for a string of bombings that killed at least 12 people. The conflict between the PKK and the government has been going on for about 30 years but there was a brief 2 1/2 year peace process that collapsed last year.

"This was a barbaric attack. It appears to be a suicide attack [the vest may have given it away]. All terror groups, the PKK, Daesh, the ) Gulen movement) are targeting Turkey. But Allah willing, we will overcome," Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek told NTV television.

The word "barbaric" comes from the [Muslim] pirates of the Barbary Coast. 

Police sealed off the site of the suicide attack and hundreds of local residents gathered near the site chanting: "Allah is great" which translates to "Allahu Akbar" in case you couldn't guess that.

It always seems to be about Islam.

Erdogan thinks he has Allah on his side

Recep Tayyip Erdogan remains President of Turkey because he got a "gift from Allah," he said. Now, with the help of the "big guy," Erdogan will be able to 'do a Walmart' and roll back the secularism and force people to be good Muslims as the country moves ahead to the Seventh Century.

Erdogan can now be the man he always was without having to hide it, and Allah can get more Muslims to pray toward Mecca and tell Him what a great god he is. It all works out in the end . . . if you're the type of person who wants your country to be run by a religious set of laws instead of secular ones. (

Hint: if you like democracy, allowing women to show their faces in the street and even be on the street without a male chaperone, the idea that people can believe in whatever they want, and that all people are created equal, then you're probably a secular kind of person.)

The end results of the failed coup worked out so very well for Erdogan that some are saying the event was "staged" for his benefit. He would call it "political taqiyya,' a deception perpetrated on the world for his benefit and the ultimate benefit of spreading Islam.

One has to question the idea that if Allah is so powerful and awesome, why does he need the help of human hands to do his bidding both in killing and spreading Islam? Also, why does any god feel so insecure that he wants his followers to tell him how great he is five times a day?

Under the Obama presidency, now in its final year,  change that he promised has come. But it is not the change anyone wanted, and the hope that was to accompany the change is dwindling fast. 

We now have hope for change.

The situation in Turkey will likely deteriorate our relationship with them if Erdogan has his way and creates yet another theocracy in the world.

Remember the words of Steven Weinberg: 

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

Peace .  .  .  but in order to have it we need to do something that we're obviously not doing.

Erdogan tells Putin he's sorry

Shaking and making up

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the Kremlin he's sorry about shooting down a Russian fighter jet last November. At least that's what the Kremlin is reporting and, like the Clintons, they have been known to stretch the truth now and then.

Supposedly, Erdogan penned a letter that literally said "I am sorry" to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had referred to the incident "a stab in the back."

This was especially true for the dead pilot and his family. But the Turkish leader expressed his "sympathy and deep condolences" to the family of the murdered pilot and "asked to be forgiven," Dmitry Peskov, a Putin mouthpiece, told reporters. 

Erdogan revealed that an investigation was in progress against the Turk who is associated with the "death of Russian pilot," the Russian media claimed.

Turkey's original story was that two of its F-16s shot down the Russian jet for violating Turkish airspace near the Syrian border and refused to obey orders to turn back. 

Russians responded to the shooting down of its fighter jet by banning agricultural imports and halting package tours to Turkey, causing tour bus companies to fold and create a shortage of vitamin C to the Turkish nation.

Turkey's Yippy is Yappy About Nonsense

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is becoming increasingly crazier with his non sequitur rhetoric. In his best Obama-esque moment Yippy, as his wife calls him, told reporters the Muslims have "never taken part in terrorist massacres." Perhaps he meant that "terrorists have never stopped taking apart infidels in their religious massacres." 

"A penny for your thoughts, Yippy"

The guy is either nuts or using that dreaded tactic Muslims who kill, or like other Muslims to kill for them use: Taqiyya. (Which brings to mind a song.)

In fact, Yippy blames the West for the Charlie Hebdo attack, although he didn't mention the murder of Jews at the Kosher supermarket because that's what Muslims do, and Jews don't count in the body count of terrorism.

Yippy doesn't seem to deal well with his country's Constitution. They mandate a secular Turkey, he wants his bird to pray 5 times a day facing Mecca. Of course, if prayer is not effected by gravity, then all prayers that are not actually in or above the earth's curvature would fly off into space. But Muhammad didn't know that so it isn't in Allah's book that this illiterate claimed to have had the inspiration to reproduce.
