    Mark Lowen Retweeted uzobey

    In a climate of dangerous polarisation and demonising one side of this country as “terrorists”, #Turkey’s opposition leader @kilicdarogluk has been attacked. A very sad indictment of where Turkey is.https://twitter.com/uzobey/status/1119924616288452608 …

        Pro-government paper @gunes_gazetesi today accuses #CHP of supporting terrorism, asking if its new mayor of Istanbul is happy after 4 soldiers were killed by PKK. Daily incitement & vitriol spewed out in government mouthpieces and then vigilante attacks. Not hard to see the link.pic.twitter.com/J7LoNVqQWT

        Can you please stop calling a lynching attempt polarization. It is lazy journalism and white washes a criminal act.

        Replying to @teslaon @marklowen @kilicdarogluk

        For polarization you need two parties pushing in opposite directions. Were Hitler or Mussolini polarizing their societies? Is calling for democracy when your opponent is vilifying you as the enemy of the people polarization? You should chose your concepts more carefully.

        Most Turks are terrorists, ironically they now call each other terrorist, but whoever runs the country massacres minorities.
