According to a man who claims to have been a classmate of Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan from ‘first to fifth grade’ says that Erdogan used to “walk around with a copy of Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf'”. This, according to an article that appeared in ynet news.

The ynet article focuses on an anti-semitic / pro-Turkey television program called “Red Apple” that airs on an Israeli cable network. The man’s name is Avraham Krispin and his account of Erdogan means that the Turkish leader was being filled with anti-semitism in his early, formative years. Krispin even insists that Erdogan, like Hitler, seeks world dominion:

The main goal set by the “Red Apple” hero, a sort of Turkish “Rambo,” resembles the goals Prime Minister Erdogan has set for himself: To turn his country into the leading center of power in the region by 2023, the 100th anniversary of Kemal Atatürk’s revolution.

Of course, Erdogan’s affinity for Hitler, coupled with his desire for the return of the Ottoman Empire squares with this report from last year about how anti-semitism is forcing a mass exodus of Jews from Turkey:

As Shoebat.com has chronicled, the U.S. has been aligning with Turkey as both countries are the top two member countries in NATO. Is it any wonder that as the U.S. does so, it continues to be in decline?

Once again, those who are most like Hitler suffer fewer smears than those who are nothing like him.
