Turkey Joins the War Campaign against the Islamic State on The Real News Network Video Interview with Edmund Ghareeb Oct 5, 2014

Click for Video Interview and text on The Real News Network

Scholar Edmund Ghareeb explains how the authorization for military force against IS by the Turkish parliament will affect peace negotiations with the Kurds

Edmund Ghareeb is internationally recognized expert on Iraq, Kurds, the Middle East, US media coverage of the Middle East; the new media in the Arab world; Arab Americans; ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East. He has authored, co-authored or edited a number of books, including Split Vision: The Portrayal of Arabs in the U.S. Media, The Kurdish Question in Iraq, The Kurdish Nationalist Movement, and Histo!rical Dictionary of Iraq, Iraqi Refugees.

ANTON WORONCZUK, TRNN PRODUCER: The Turkish Parliament joined USA in its military BOMBING of ISIS(L) in Iraq and Syria. ISIS(L)’s recent military offensive against the Kurds in southern Turkey at the border with Syria, has resulted in 160,000 Syrian Kurds fleeing into Turkey over the past three weeks. The Turkish government has been widely accused of providing support or–put most generously–turning a blind eye to the border crossings of the Islamic State. The Kurds are also angry at the Turkish state for supporting rebel groups like al-Nursa Front, which, along with ISIS(L), have attacked the Syrian Kurds is several times. They are also angry at the state for not providing military support to protect Kobani.

What does the Turkish decision mean for Assad and particularly the 2.5 million Syrian Kurds who live along the border with Turkey? It is hard to believe USA allies and intelligence agencies that have been involved in arming and training Syrian rebels, including Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia were NOT aware of the military threats ISIS(L) posed. So it seems curious now why the Turkish parliament would authorize military action against ISIS(L) now.

GHAREEB: There are a number of reasons this is an important issue. The countries supporting ISIS(L) were also supporting other groups. ISIS(L) was Not as powerful as it is today. Many (USA Allies) believed that it was only a matter of weeks or months before the Assad regime would collapse. They misunderstood the situation on the ground, and underestimated the ability of the Syrian government to stand up and to continue to fight, and they underestimated the strength of ISIS. This combination of incompetence underestimated the challenges of ISIS(L) and toppling Assad. ISIS(L) had attacked minorities in Syria before they attacked minorities in Iraq. The West including NATO’s Turkey took any actions against it at that time. (NOTE: TURKEY views Kurds as enemies).

The recent action by the Parliament to join USA coalition and attack ISIS was primarily because of the speed with which ISIS was able to take over large areas of Iraq — Especially cities like Mosul + water dams + Control of the borders between Iraq and Syria and Turkey and borders between Iraq and Iran. That’s what alerted and probably frightened them into action.

WORONCZUK: An important question is Turkish state’s support for ISIS(L) — allegations of military support. ISIS(L) fighters have been given medical treatment and been allowed to cross the border in Turkey. The recent hostage release of 49 Turkish diplomats and their families in exchange for the release of ISIS(L) fighters has raised some eyebrows, to say the least.

GHAREEB: Very important issues that explains why the Turkish president and prime minister asked the parliament to approve a new law which would allow Turkish forces to respond to attacks from militias and not just ISIS(L) and to allow foreign (USA) forces to be stationed on Turkish territory to move against ISIS(L) and other radical forces within Syria and Iraq.

GHAREEB: A lot of criticisms in the last year or so (articles + information coming out) of Turkey looking the other way when foreign and Turkish fighters flowed to and from Turkey to Syria. Turkish media reported at least 10% of ISIS(L) fighters are Turks. Causing a lot of criticism of Turkey and its policies. The second thing was the smuggling of oil from Syria & Iraq to being sold in Turkey with that money from oil sales used to FUND ISIS(L) MURDER AND OVERWHELMING VIOLENCE. The Turkish president came under a lot of pressure from his European allies and USA to take a stand, so he decided to join USA coalition to fight ISIS. But Erdogan’s primary goal is to bring down the regime of Assad in Syria and USA sadly shares that goal – So he had Turkey joined USA effort to TOPPLE ASSAD.

WORONCZUK: The Kurds have been particularly critical of the Turkish state’s policy towards ISIS(L) and AQ Contractors called, the al-Nusra front, who have attacked Syrian Kurds as well as Assad. A recent ISIS(L) military offensive against Kurdish town of Kobani, whom the Turkish government won’t provide with military support. So how will this affect the PKK’s 18 month ceasefire and peace negotiations with the Turkish state?

GHAREEB: There is a great deal of mistrust between the Turkish government and the Kurds (Both Turkish Kurds, Syrian Kurds, and Iraqi Kurds) because the PKK (Kurdish Workers’ Party) fighting against Turkey since (1980s) believe Turkey has NOT done enough to close and monitor the border and to stop buying the smuggled oil — Very concerned about Turkish policies.

GHAREEB: The Kurds are also playing their own games to get Turkey to help fight ISIS(L) to help the Kurds keep control of Kobani instead of the Turkish army. Kurds don’t want a war buffer zone on the border between Syria and Turkey within Syria that would include Kobani under control of the Turkish military, ’cause they do not trust the Turkish military, so the Kurds want Turkey to focus on fighting ISIS(L) instead. The PKK leader is in jail in Turkey, negotiating for Kurds, has said that if the Kobani falls, then all peace negotiations with Turkey are over. But more importantly, a former top PKK military commander said the peace process is already over, because this new Parliamentary law allows Turkish forces to fight PKK Kurds and ISIS(L) — so-called terrorist — a massive issue for ALL Kurds making this whole issue very difficult to handle.

WORONCZUK: Is Turkey is trying to manage its response to ISIS(L) to prevent the Kurds from consolidating political and military power?

GHAREEB: There’s no doubt that Turkey’s trying to control the Kurds and prevent an independent Kurdish state or a federal Kurdish state within Turkey. Turkey is trying to position as fighting against ISIS(L), and at the same time, they also want to make sure that the Kurds in Syria do not control the border region between Turkey and Syria – a schizophrenic policy. Turkey wants to play the role of a Middle East leader, of an Islamic leader — some neo-Ottomanist ideas floating among the Turkish leadership. Therefore, Turkey wants to benefit from the Western involvement, I’m the only army around here. Kurds are in bad position for achieving a federal state either within Syria or within Turkey itself.

WORONCZUK: Turkey is a member of NATO, and has very strong ties with USA, both in terms of intelligence and very strong political ties. How much influence does USA have on Turkey’s policy towards ISIS(L) and the Kurds?

GHAREEB: Relations were very good around 2011 and 2012 at the beginning of the Arab Spring, when it looked like Turkey may emerge as a major player. Turkey aligned itself with the Muslim Brotherhoods in a number of countries, including Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and Syria. But the Turks promised Toppling Syria would be easy (weeks or months) but were not able to deliver. As a result of that issue and Turkey’s frayed ties with Israel, some friction between USA and Turkey cooled the relationship. Right now there is a lot of pressure on Turkey to return and play a role in fighting ISIS(L), and we’re likely to see more cooperation between the United States and Turkey.

PRIOR UPDATE: VP Biden originally said, “[Erdogan] said: ‘You were right. We let too many people through.’ Now they’re trying to seal their border.”

Erdogan said the following is correct (JUST ABOUT AS BAD):

“Foreign fighters…may come to our country as tourists and cross into Syria, but no one can say that they cross in with their arms.” — Erdogan MASSIVE

VP Biden was FORCED to LIE and apologize for “any implication that Turkey or other Allies and partners in the region had intentionally supplied or facilitated the growth of ISIL or other violent extremists in Syria.”

LIES PROTECTING ISIS(L) FUNDERS SAUDI ARABIA, QATAR AND OTHER THE BIG OIL MONARCHS/DICTATORS WERE EXPOSED BY USA VP BIDEN WHEN HE VERIFIED OF SOME OF THE FUNDING FACTS — WE ALREADY KNEW.

Joe Biden: “This is a Big Fucking deal”

BIDEN BIG F DEAL

BIDEN – A BIG Fing DEAL!

Speaking at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, VP Biden said allies including:

  1. Saudi Arabia
  2. Turkey
  3. Qatar
  4. United Arab Emirates

Extended unconditional financial and logistical support to Sunni (ISIL) fighters trying to oust the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad

“President Erdogan told me, ‘You were right. We let too many people through. Now we are trying to seal the border.’

— VP Biden in Hurriyet

“Our allies poured ($3+ BILLION) hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against al-Assad.”

— VP Biden funding the Nusra Front and Al Qaeda.

“It took awhile for Turkey, a Sunni nation, to figure out that ISIL was a direct and immediate threat to their well-being.”

— VP Biden

“If Mr. Biden has said such a thing at Harvard, he needs to apologize to us…(Erdogan goes on to LIE) Foreign fighters never crossed into Syria from our country….They would cross into Syria from Turkey on tourist passports, but nobody can claim that they have crossed with arms.”

— Erdogan, Turkey told reporters in Ankara, the Turkish capital

“none of us knew enough about the various elements of the opposition within Syria.”

 — Biden lied a bit as McCain praised them many months ago as follows:

McCAIN on CNN Jan 2014 = “Thank God for the Saudis and Prince Bandar, and for our Qatari friends” for BUILDING ISIL (ISIS) = McCAIN = Said again a month later IN Germany = McCain = AIPAC + OIL MONARCH PUPPET!

VP Biden, who told part of the truth in a speech at Harvard University — Biden claimed Erdogan had admitted allowing foreign fighters to cross Turkey’s border into Syria, leading to the rise of the Islamic State terrorist group.

President Erdogan of Turkey demanded an apology from VP Biden, despite widespread evidence to the contrary, Erdogan falsely denied that Turkey’s long, porous border had enabled thousands of militants to cross onto the Syrian and Iraqi battlefields since the Syrian civil war began in 2011.

Mounting international criticism of Turkey’s lax border controls has forced Turkey to share intelligence with NATO allies in recent months. Turkey now has a no-entry list of 6,000 names, and has deported 1,000 people last year.

On the other hand, VP Biden praised the Turkish parliamentary for authorizing cross-border operations into Syria and Iraq, and for allowing NATO and foreign forces to use Turkish territory for incursions.

ISIS(L) was holding 46 Turkish citizens hostage now released in a covert operation. So in September, Turkey agreed to join USA-led coalition against ISIS(L). But even now refuses to make a firm military commitment but Turkey PM did agree to setting up a buffer and no-fly zone inside Syria to prevent an influx of refugees, and called for training and equipment for moderate Syrian opposition forces.

GAZA ATROCITIES BY ISRAEL — TESTIMONY OF A JOURNALIST WHO SAW IT FIRST HAND FOR 3+ YEARS

GAZA ATROCITIES BY ISRAEL — TESTIMONY OF A JOURNALIST WHO SAW IT FIRST HAND FOR 3+ YEARS

Eva Bartlett on Gaza in Crisis – An Eyewitness Report

Called Canada’s Rachel Corrie, Eva Bartlett is an activist and journalist living in Gaza since 2008. Her eyewitness accounts from Occupied Palestine have been published in the Electronic Intifada, Inter Press Service, Countercurrents and her own blog http://ingaza.wordpress.com./ or at http://www.gazaark.org/tag/eva-bartlett/

Click for Gaza Under Seige – Eva Bartlett on Reality Asserts Itself with Paul Jay on The Real News Network

PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Eva Bartlett, born in the USA but raised in Canada, is a journalist and activist who’s lived in Gaza for around three years. She lived in Gaza starting in 2008 for three years as a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement, based in the Palestine occupied territories. How did you come to live in Palestine?

BARTLETT: I grew up in a great family, very loving and humane and compassionate, but we didn’t discuss politics, and maybe that was one reason why I never really consciously looked for it. My world was kind of absorbed in classical music, and both my parents were musicians.

BARTLETT: After college I lived in South Korea five years teaching English to pay off my student debts. It was a great way to travel and see more of the world, and and it was through traveling that I started wanting to know more about the world and started looking at online programs. And at the time (2005), I was looking at news every day, whereas before I had been completely disinterested and I had no reason to be interested in news — there was quite a bit of coverage of what was happening in Palestine but I knew absolutely nothing about Palestine, not even the name, and then suddenly was hit with a barrage of information which was very disturbing, it really affected me and made me want to learn more. And the more I learned, the more I wanted to become active in some way in justice for Palestine. Israel was never on my horizon growing. Didn’t know about it. I was a blank page.

BARTLETT: I always say, I wish I had known much earlier about Palestine. Perhaps it’s the way information is presented or not presented. But in Korea I did stumble across some non-corporate media news sites, and I began to see some of the truth about Palestine.

JAY: Why does Palestine resonate with you?

BARTLETT: I came across a old 1980s YouTube at the time of the first intifada, for example, a campaign called the bone-breaking campaign, when Israeli soldiers would systematically take large boulders and just smash the bones–arms, legs–of Palestinians that appeared to be the Israeli way of quashing dissent. So seeing something like that when you came from a very sheltered background, it really affected me — I learned more and more on the issue of a people being oppressed and expelled from their land and a creeping genocide, an ethnic cleansing. And was shocked the USA and Canadian governments are complicit in the oppression of Palestinians.

BARTLETT: I was also learning about Tibet, which was another kind of blank spot in my mind. And since I was already in Korea and it’s close enough to China, I took a ferry and a number of trains and buses and went and visited Tibet, and later did some English teaching with Tibetan refugees, got involved with the Tibetan movement for a little while, but at the same time was learning about Palestine.

2006 Summer: Israel was bombing Lebanon and Gaza. And at that point I was consciously aware of Palestine, I was horrified and just made a decision that I wanted to go see Palestine and see for myself what life was like under occupation. So I went there in 2007, via Jordan and entered the West Bank, and then took nonviolence training with the International Solidarity Movement, and then for the next eight months was all around the West Bank, witnessing army incursions and lockdowns of towns and cities, including shootings and abductions of any Palestinians who happen to be on the street when the army imposed a curfew. We also saw the violence at the hands of the illegal colonist, during popular nonviolent demonstrations in places like Bil’in, which later grew to other areas around the West Bank. So I saw quite a bit in those eight months in the West Bank. When I was in the West Bank, I went to Tel Aviv mainly for visa purposes, because you have to get Israeli permission to enter and to exit the West Bank. I got to know some very good Israeli activists who participated in the demonstrations in Bil’in — compassionate and strong activists.

2008, I planned on entering Gaza by way of the Rafah Egyptian Crossing, at that time it officially was open to Palestinians, but it was very difficult for any Palestinian to enter or to exit. To enter Palestine in the first place is difficult, because Israel does control all the borders. So if you look like you might be a solidarity activist, it becomes very difficult for you to enter.

2008 I because of the siege on Gaza ended up entering by boat. By then Israel had pulled its settlers out of Gaza and said that it no longer controls Gaza. But nonetheless, freedom of movement is almost impossible. So the idea with the Free Gaza movement was that they would sail from Cyprus to Gaza because they would be sailing through international waters into Palestinian waters, thereby not entering Israeli territory. So that’s how I entered Gaza. After the fifth boat, the Israeli Navy started preventing any boats from reaching Gaza. So in that sense we were lucky to have even made it.

JAY: What’s a solidarity activist look like?

BARTLETT: Well, they come in all shapes and forms and ages. If it is obvious that you sympathize in any way with Palestinians, it is well reported that more likely than not you’ll either not be able to enter in the first place or you’ll be granted a two-week visa or something. I wanted to go there to witness the occupation. And I think that you need to see that if you’re going to go see Palestine. You can’t just avoid it. I was not going to visit, but also I didn’t have any idea how long I would stay, but as it turned out, the first time I went, I stayed for a year and a half, precisely because it is so difficult to enter and to leave. I was a volunteer with the ISM (International Solidarity Movement), but our work in Gaza was of a different nature than it was in the West Bank.

JAY: And how do you support yourself financially?

BARTLETT: Before I went to Palestine the first time I worked and saved money and did some fundraising. But then, when I was in Gaza, I was writing both just for the sake of sharing information and I was also being published in Inter Press Service as a freelance journalist. And, you know, you don’t need a whole lot to live in Gaza.

JAY: So not long after you arrived in Gaza in 2008, there is an Israeli attack. And you are there and live through it. What was it like?

BARTLETT: It was the first time I’d experienced anything that intense. There were bombing attacks, sonic boom campaigns sounding like real bombs, a lot of psychological terror going on. December 27, the Israeli Air Force started bombing throughout the Gaza Strip, targeting police stations, which inevitably also targeted civilians and schools and hospitals around — finally the bombing stopped January 18, 2009 (Just as Obama was being sworn into office) they were relentlessly bombing everywhere in the Gaza Strip. And there was no safe haven. So it’s a pretty phenomenal situation in that the population had no way of fleeing. You know in other situations where a population’s being aggressively bombed you have migration of people. But here they could not flee. They didn’t have bomb shelters. And in many cases they had no notice that their house was going to be bombed. Sometimes the Israelis would say, you have five minutes to get out, or they would do a double-tap kind of thing where they’d knock on the rooftop of the house to say get out — families would run for their lives. But in many cases they didn’t get this warning.

BARTLETT: We were volunteering with the Red Crescent (Medical Service) north of Gaza. We did this both to witness the worst of the atrocities, including the use of chemical weapons and point-blank shootings, and the taking of testimonies from the people who had endured these things, but also because the Israeli army was targeting medics. A couple of medics had already been killed by the time we joined with the Red Crescent. We were riding during the day, during the night, in ill-equipped ambulances that were trying to reach people and in many cases were being prevented by the Israeli army from reaching those who were calling for them.

JAY: You’re putting your own life in danger over and over here. This is risky, and people get killed doing these things. Why?

BARTLETT: Because I can, because Palestinians don’t have an option of leaving where they’re living. They don’t have an option of not being targeted. I just felt it important to stand in solidarity with them, and document what’s happening to them as they have been so largely ignored and their voice has been largely taken away from them. There are, of course, many articulate, talented, and intelligent Palestinians that try to get their voices out, and through some alternative media can. But I believed if some Canadians see a Canadian in Gaza, then maybe they will take it to heart more than if they just see some random person.

JAY: On a mission like this you know you might not come back, and you’ve decided that you can deal with that?

BARTLETT: Yes. That’s I think what many journalists or activists who go to areas where it’s high-risk have to decide — Part of the nature of your beliefs and work.

One medic I was with was shot by an Israeli sniper in his leg during ceasefire hours that the Israelis had declared, and he was shot while wearing his medical uniform and obviously carrying the body of a man who’d been killed–no threat to the Israeli army. And he was pegged off.

Another medic that I worked with was killed by a dart bomb which was fired directly at his ambulance. And had I not gone back to Gaza City, I probably would have been killed with him, because I was accompanying him. I went back to the city to write some reports, and in that absence he was struck with this dart bomb and shredded and went into shock and died.

JAY: But why is it your fight to have to potentially give your life for?

BARTLETT: It’s all of our fights — We all need to stand in solidarity with them, because the world powers–the Canadian prime minister, the U.S., Europe–they all stand with Israel regardless of what Israel does to the Palestinians. When Gaza was being bombed, my own prime minister had no qualms with Israel so-called defending itself by bombing the civilian population of Gaza. The U.S. sends billions of dollars to Israel to do–and weaponry to attack these people.

JAY: But one can agitate at home against those policies, but to go there and potentially lose your life in the course of doing it. What is your attitude?

BARTLETT: When see the atrocities that Palestinians have to endure and you’re met with such love by them and such generosity and friendship, it’s like they become your family — if your own family were being bombed and attacked, would you turn your back and say, no, I’m not going to risk my life for them? Or would you go and do what you could to save them or tell their story? And I think most people would defend their family, defend, would stand with their family.

I’m not the only person that does this and that has felt this way. Most people that I know that have gone to various parts of Palestine, once they see it they don’t turn their backs. And it’s like that expression:

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

I don’t stand with them because then they might later come back for me; I feel like I take it more from a humanistic perspective that it’s an obligation.

JAY: But this is part of what gives your life meaning.

BARTLETT: Yes. Yes.
