The way in which many Turks (from all political persuasions) are almost gleefully turning on Syrian refugees is deeply disappointing. Not least because in today’s world, there is no guarantee, anywhere, that it won’t happen to you in your lifetime.pic.twitter.com/lpGanb2nw4
I know from previous posts about this that I am going to get a lot of pushback from followers. I don’t care. Putting a sign into a shop window saying Syrians can pay five times what others pay is absolutely analogous to stains on human history like “no Jews/Irish or dogs”.
The predicted social lynching has happened so: 1) No, this isn’t widespread practice but this photo went viral and was widely commended 2) But broad anger at Syrians is undeniably growing across the political spectrum 3) And I agree initial refugee policy was faulty but...
Now that millions of Syrians live in Turkey, we do need a peaceful and humanist approach to integration. And it really doesn’t help your case that we are bringers of peace and kindness if you attack people with whom you disagree with ferociousness and vituperation.
Now imagine a sign like this in Germany saying: Bread Right-wingers - for free Germans - 1 € Headscarved & Muslims - 5 € Mate, you'll hear em shout in UK through your CLOSED window.
It’s full-on racist/fascist. There are people applauding it but criticizing it for not making it 20TL for Syrians. Sad moments and dangerous to boot. This is how pogroms start.
I'm so fucking with ya, mate. Thats not far away from signs in 1930ish Germany. I've heard stories about ppl over here in Bodrum throwing pebbles at the poor Syrian women begging in the streets. In the turkish food chain they're below strays.
Thanks to CHP and İyi Party’s racist policies drawn during the election period. A disappointing contradiction for the oppositions.
This is a rather hot take. This is happening across the political divide and it behooves us all to recognize that.
Lan sen şu kaynanasi yeni havaalanı hakkında yalanlar uyduran saçı az sin dimi hatırladım seni ulan devlet bursuyla Çorum'dan cikip burada mavi kanli soylu gbi havalardasin ya 
Belli bir Türk tipi insanını çok güzel temsil ediyorsun.
This guy has obviously never been to the new airport - those cracks are now broadly famous. As for his other warm words: he's not exactly the type of person whose views I would care about. Let him write his snark to his little corner of the internet.
This brobdingnagian monstrosity aint no airport. It took us more than fucking 40 minutes to reach the 'parking spot" for our damn plane. Ppl left the plane & had to run to reach their connecting flights. This thing is a misplanning on so many levels. Most horrible thing is if you
for monkeys. I've seen many, many airports in my life. But this airport is the worst thing I've ever seen. And I will take every chance to use Sabiha Gökçen Havalimanı instead of this stupid monstrosity. Word.
This is sad to see in my beloved Turkey.
So true . Compassion must still the root of Turks. We need more understanding but also the Gov needs to reorganize how they help everyone .not sure what they do now
Scary and very disappointing. Is it a reaction to the floundering economy.... scapegoating ?
The worst thing is when you try to explain this to people the jump all over you and try to make excuses about it and brush over the fact that it's a possibility and change the subject
Pushback in the form of....https://twitter.com/rimapana/status/1153974968193036288?s=21 …

Yes we are all patriots & love our nation but we Turks have to come to terms with the fact that we had a good hand in creating the Syrian mess & now have to deal with it instead of you know being racist. A lot of this can be blamed on the fake news thats spread on social media
you know this pic. is just made for fun,its a joke... but anyway, it doesnt change the reality that we dont want them here. its very easy to understand..
