Two US soldiers were assaulted by a nationalist mob in Turkey on Monday who were enraged over America’s support for Israel’s slaughter in Gaza.
“WE PUT SACKS ON THE US SOLDIERS SERVING ON THE LARGEST ATTACK SHIP OF THE USA, USS WASP!” the Turkish nationalist group Turkey Youth Union said on X along with video of the assault.
ABD’NİN EN BÜYÜK TAARRUZ GEMİSİ USS WASP’TA GÖREVLİ ABD ASKERLERİNE ÇUVAL GEÇİRDİK!
Mehmetçiğimizin ve binlerce Filistinlinin kanını elinde taşıyan ABD askerleri ülkemizi kirletemez.
Bu topraklara her adım attığınızda sizi hak ettiğiniz gibi karşılayacağız!

“US soldiers, who carry the blood of our soldiers and thousands of Palestinians on their hands, cannot defile our country,” they added. “Every time you step into these lands, we will welcome you as you deserve!”
Most media outlets are just outright ignoring that US support for Israel was the motivation for this assault because they don’t want their readers to realize that our backing of the Jewish state is making us pariahs throughout the world.
From Reuters, “US soldiers assaulted in western Turkey”:
A nationalist Turkish youth group on Monday physically assaulted two U.S. soldiers in western Turkey, the U.S. Embassy in Turkey and the local governor’s office said, adding that 15 assailants had been detained over the incident.
In a statement, the Izmir governor’s office said members of the Turkey Youth Union (TGB), a youth branch of the nationalist opposition Vatan Party, “physically attacked” two U.S. soldiers dressed in civilian clothes in the Konak district.
It added that five U.S. soldiers joined in after seeing the incident, and that police intervened. All 15 attackers had been detained and an investigation was launched into the matter, it said.
This is how our troops are being treated now in a NATO country!
America used to have good relations with the Muslim world but now we’re hated by everyone because of our support for Israel massacring women and children in Gaza in the name of “wiping out Amalek.“
We get literally nothing out of this “special relationship” other than endless grief.
