Mr. Adnan Oktar is often saying that a policy of compassion must be followed. Israeli Environment Minister Amir Peretz’ recent visit to Istanbul indicates that a rapprochement policy has been started between Israel/  Turkey relations.

ADNAN OKTAR: Tayyip Master should make more compromising politics. I said this several times. He should have politics that embraces everybody. Balancing politics is not easy but it is possible I think. For example, he can show a compassionate attitude towards Israel. He can show a compassionate, loving attitude to the Jews. He can state his message by saying, “Here I am against this, but I love you very much indeed”. He can say, “I am very compassionate towards you”: Because Tayyip Master is in a quandry at the moment, and because the quandry is very powerful, it seems difficult for him to move freely and develop a new strategy. But they can make it slowly, by familiarizing it, by forming a basis for it, by examining the situation. By checking  reactions. He should trust directly in the sincere spirit of the Anatolian people. I think he should change his attitude against Israel, and against the Jews. If he says: “I love you, I am compassionate to  you, I am a protector to you, Turkey is your friend”, that would be great.

Adnan Oktar: There is a handful of people in Israel. Everybody is hurting. They act like a bully sometimes because the number of  Israelis is not that many. Under these circumstances, like our Ottoman ancestors, we should protect the Jews, and we should have a compassionate and merciful attitude towards them. I see that Tayyip Master also has this attitude, but I think that it would be better if he strengthened this attitude. We should stand by the weak. If they oppress, we can answer back with  laws, but seeing millions of people, children, women, all of them as potential tyrants would be oppression itself. There are a lot of enemies of Israel, there are a lot of enemies of the Jews.  It is like they are living for hatred and cruelty. Tayyip Master shouldn’t give credence to these people. He would have given them credence in a roundabout way.  He should emphasize his always protective and compassionate attitude more strongly. We are waiting for him to mention his love, compassion and mercy towards our religious Jewish brothers in a powerful voice, just like his previous powerful statements. This is what looks better on him. This would be nice.

A nation cannot be perfect  all the time. A history of a nation cannot always be perfect   either. There may be some problems in its history, there may be some problems with the people; but it would be oppression if you punish the whole nation completely, and the next generation, and if you humiliate them and talk about them as they are cursed. In the Qur’an, the Jewish  nation is praised. The Israelis are praised but the ones who are vicious and the tyrants are cursed. It is our duty to be compassionate. We are waiting for Tayyip Master to make a good statement. He should put an end to the madness in the world, insha'Allah.

After the Mavi Marmara incident, relations were at a breaking point but following an apology from Israel, a new development occurred between Israel and Turkey relations. Israeli Environment Minister Amir Peretz  arrived in Turkey to attend  the United Nations (UN) conference in Istanbul.
