JAKARTA - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Israel had defeated Nazi leader Adolf Hitler by killing more than 14,000 innocent children in Gaza.
With unconditional support from the West, Israel carried out a massacre that left a sign of shame in the history of mankind, both in Gaza and the West Bank, Erdogan said at a meeting of the Justice and Development Party (AK) group in the Turkish parliament.
He said the Palestinian struggle gave him a new meaning to his life, and no one could question Turkey's sensitivity to the Palestinian issue.
"As long as God gives me life, I will continue to defend the Palestinian struggle, and will be the voice of the Palestinian people who are oppressed," Erdogan said as quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Wednesday, April 17.
Erdogan said that his party was very aware that there was a price to pay to say this.
