Calls for boycott of Turkish-Jewish writer

[King_David]

Istanbul: Calls for a boycott of a prominent Turkish author of Jewish descent over Israel's assault in Gaza have been denounced by politicians in Turkey as a "hate crime."

Turkey has taken a lead in denouncing the deadly Israeli campaign in Gaza, which Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has bluntly termed as a genocide.

But the government insists that the criticism is against Israel's policies and is not in any way anti-Semitic.



A social media campaign for a boycott of Israeli products sparked a storm of critism on Thursday after there were calls to include works by acclaimed Turkish-Jewish novelist Mario Levi.

3. Hate crime ?

Posters in some threads think attacks on Jews in Morocco or Chicago or Paris are understandable.
This will just be seen as civic action or something.
