Turkey’s numbers are suspiciously high, I get the feeling they were never a fan of israel
It’s not suspicious that the two Muslim majority countries on the list (Turkiye and Indonesia) have the highest numbers.
They are more likely to view Muslims as people.
If you’re not othering and demonizing people it’s much easier to notice when someone is genociding them.
turkey has a muslm population so as with most muslim populations they were aware of Israel’s atrocities before oct7.
turkey in particular has a gripe with Israel as well, as they have tried before what Greta Thunberg is trying to do right now, to break the blockade with an aid ship by joining a flotilla, to which Israel promptly sent commandos and killed 10 activists on the ship. it’s surprising the number isn’t 100%, considering.
of course no one else really gave a shit and the us/eu kept sucking Israel’s dick until they recently got too comfortable killing their people as well. but hey, better late than never.
It’s a Muslim nation. Ask other Muslim nations, and you’ll see similar numbers.
