Turkish Jewish Community´s Reaction to Journalist Accusing the Rabbi on Cultural Tour
Journalist and writer Hüseyin Hakkı Kahveci stated that the forest fires happening in our country coincided with the route of the trips Rabbi Mendy Chitrik is having throughout the country. July 30, 2021
Translation by Janet MITRANI
Hüseyin Hakkı Kahveci in his post he shared via Twitter, has stated "And a piece of important information. There is a Rabbi traveling Turkey under the title Jewish heritage project and the places he sets foot on in his so-called road map are overlapping the places where there are fires according to the Ministry of Forestry data source. His footsteps on the Turkey map are almost the same as the fires. Rabbis know Kabbalah-Black Magic well. The routes followed by civilian aircraft going over Turkey in the last two days should be reported. The fires are significant. The Rabbi is traveling the Canaan Lands. An activity like Pastor Brunson and he's following the Jewish traces in Turkey. The traces overlap."
Hüseyin Hakkı Kahveci's Twitter posts
The Turkish Jewish Community reacted to the posts that showed the Turkish Jewish Community and Rabbi Mendy Chitrik as targets saying, "And this is expressing of the 'hatred' that burns our country. He is showing us as targets, especially our respected Rabbi."
Turkish Jewish Community's Twitter post
Turkish Jewish Community in the post made via Twitter stated, "The necessary legal action will be taken and a criminal complaint will be filed to the prosecutor's office against the person who has committed a crime using our faith in the same meaning as treachery and openly inciting and encouraging the people to hostility and hatred towards the Jews."
