Israel and Palestine together can turn the whole region into Paradise.

Those who claim that we should not be friends with Israel and Russia, in truth want to be enemies with everyone. Enmity would not help anyone.

Turkey had been shut out from the rest of the world, but now the windows have started to be opened one by one. Having good relations with Israel and Russia are doors opening to the Islamic Unity.

Turkey's becoming friends with Israel is not something that will harm us. On the contrary, such an alliance would be a beauty both for Turkey and for the region.

Mending fences with Russia and Israel is the rational approach. That is exactly what Turkey should be doing.

After Israel, we will make friendship agreements with Armenia, Greece and Russia. And we will attain beautiful results by the will of God.

Syria will not disintegrate. Within the spirit of the system of the Mahdi, all the countries in the region, all the Balkan countries including Armenia, Russia and Israel will unite.

Against all kinds of criticisms, we advocated that we need to be friends with Israel and reconcile with Russia.

It would not be right to refrain from taking the initiative in forming friendships due to worrying about what others would think. Relations between Israel and Turkey should be reinforced heartily.

All groups in Israel, Iran and the Middle East believe that the coming of the Mahdi is true and are enthusiastically awaiting him.

Some foreign papers claim that I’m an anti-Semite. It’s against the Qur’an to be an anti-Semite. I’m the one who defends religious Jews. During those days when anti-Israeli sentiment was the highest in Turkey, I was the only one who said that the two countries should be friends. I always say Muslims should approach Christians and Jews with compassion. This open display of friendliness is unparalleled among Muslims.

Israel should make clear that it is against the PYD/PKK.

Many issues are known erroneously about Sultan Abdul Hamid II era. Cyprus was given to Britain in return for gold. Both in Palestine and other places, settlements for Jews were established during Abdul Hamid II era. Theodor Herzl was backed up during Abdul Hamid II's era, he was included in consultations. It is possible to see this in letters he wrote. Many are unaware of these facts.

At the time of Abdul Hamid, Cyprus and Palestine were sold against payment. They have the wrong information about the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid.

At the time of Abdul Hamid II, Jews were settled in 36 different settlements in Palestine. Land sales were made easier and laws were changed accordingly.

From 1876, the date Abdul Hamid came to the throne, until 1908, the number of Jews living in Palestine tripled and became 80,000. During this time Zionists bought 40,000 decares of land and founded 36 settlements. During the reign of Abdul Hamid, a major Jewish migration took place to Ottoman lands. The Jewish population which was 150,000 in 1884, increased to 253,000 in 1907. There is nothing wrong in Abdul Hamid’s giving place to Jews to live in Palestine, in Ottoman lands. What is wrong is that they act as if this never took place.

Abdul Hamid sold the Palestinian lands to the Jews and, received gold in return for Cyprus; these are documented by handwritten sales contract. It was only two years after he was crowned in 1878 that Abdul Hamid sold Cyprus. This has no aspect to advocate.

A law was passed in the time of Abdülhamid for the sale of Ottoman lands. they even wanted to sell Iraq, not only Palestine.

A law was passed in the time of Abdul Hamid for the sale of Ottoman lands. they even wanted to sell Iraq, not only Palestine.

There weren’t enough Jews or lands in Palestine for a state, but Sultan Abdul Hamid II passed a law and allowed settlement of Jews in 36 places. During reign of Abdul Hamid II, the number of Jews living in Palestine increased threefold, which is very good.

The existence of hypocrites is the reason behind the pains in Egypt, Pakistan, Palestine, Syria, Iraq and others.

All Muslims, all Jews and Christians have a right in the lands of Israel and Palestine. They should all be able to worship wherever they like.

Israelis are the People of the Book. By forging an alliance with the devout people of Israel, we need to strive to annihilate irreligiousness from the face of this World. Living in peace with the Israelis, living brotherly, friendly with them; backing them up and having them back up the Palestinians would be the best move. And that would be made possible with the Unity of Islam, with the system of the Mahdi, with the appearance of the Moschiah.

Turkish soldiers active in terror-stricken areas must be better equipped through education.

They want to get Muslims to fight Muslims. We will never accept it. This is a game of the antichrist.
