İsmail Saymaz criticizes AKP's stance on Israel through a shared video

In Israel protests held across many parts of Turkey, young people are expressing their reactions to the AKP government, which continues trade with Israel. Journalist İsmail Saymaz offered a striking commentary on a video of a detention that occurred during these protests.

Reminding his own base during local election campaigns that the AKP continues to trade with Israel, YRP Chairman Fatih Erbakan shows with his posts that he is following the issue even after the election.

With political figures also reacting to the ongoing trade, young people have also started to take to the streets to show their reactions to the AKP through various protests.

Drawing attention to the oppression applied to Palestine and reacting to the AKP's continuation of trade with Israel while such violence continues, young people can face harsh interventions by police during their protests.

Journalist İsmail Saymaz shared a video on his social media account of a veiled young girl being slapped by a police officer during such a protest, and addressed AKP government officials who particularly attack the CHP over the problems of veiled young people. He accused Islamists of remaining indifferent to the issue.

HERE IS THAT POST BY İSMAİL SAYMAZ:

If the CHP were in power and a police officer slapped a veiled young girl at an Israel protest, the Islamists would have poured into the streets.

Fatih Mosque would be shaking with takbirs…

Hagia Sophia would be echoing with curses.

When it is the AK Party continuing commercial relations with Israel, a big “hiss” sound comes out.
