Yildiz Tilbe praises Hitler, calls for elimination of Jews in online rant backed by Ankara mayor; Jewish community calls for probe
ANKARA A popular Turkish female pop singer was under pressure Friday to make a public apology after she posted a succession of anti-Semitic tweets over Israels deadly air campaign in Gaza.
Yildiz Tilbe, who has been making folk-influenced hit albums since the 1990s, appeared to praise Hitler in the tweets and say the end of the Jews was near.
If God allows, it will be again Muslims who will bring the end of those Jews, it is near, near, she tweeted on her official account @YildizzTilbee.
They (Jews) are hostile to Allah and all prophets including their own prophet Moses.
In another tweet she appeared to praise Hitler for the mass extermination of Jews in the Holocaust, writing May God bless Hitler.
The Jewish Community of Turkey condemned the singers tweets as racist and inciting hatred, calling on judicial authorities to immediately start necessary legal procedures under the countrys penal code.

But a lot of the lack of support actually comes from innate anti-Semitic reasons. Not only in Arab countries.

Thank god we can brush the mass murder of Arabs under the rug because some jackass somewhere hates Jews. i mean they're more than equal right? 180 dead Arabs, a twit tweeting her twittery?
Also, "God Bless Hitler"? She ought to be careful, the Zionist Organization of America passes out lifetime achievement awards for shit like that.
