Erdoğan’s Political Maneuver Began Almost Simultaneously with the Elections

Erdoğan's Political Maneuver Began Almost Simultaneously with the Elections

Erdoğan has stirred up controversy once again; Once again, he has put Israel at the center of attention.

But this time, it is better to step away from the noise and take a look at what is happening behind the scenes.

Erdogan understands politics well. He knows that in a region where the issue of Palestine and Israel is highly sensitive for millions of Muslims, standing behind a podium and attacking Israel can make a politician appear as a “defender of Muslims” and even a regional hero.

This is the image Erdoğan has been trying to create for himself for years.

But politics is not just about words; timing matters too.

Whenever the political atmosphere begins to move towards elections, the same old issues suddenly resurface. Israel once again becomes a major subject in speeches, the rhetoric becomes harsher, and the political atmosphere takes on a different color.

Is this a coincidence?

Of course not! A politician who has been in power for years knows better than anyone what to put on the table—and when to put it there.

The problem is that people no longer look only at words; they also look at timing.

If there really is going to be a war, that is one thing. But if there is not going to be a war, then what is the purpose of all this shouting, threatening, and political posturing?

For the people? Or to create a political image?

Erdoğan wants to tell the region: I am here, I am standing against Israel, I am the voice of Muslims.

But who gave him such a mandate?

The Muslims of the region are not one single nation whose president from another country can declare himself the spokesman for all of them.

Every country has its own people and its own interests.

Turkey is also a republic, not the Ottoman Empire, where its president can once again play the role of a regional sultan.

A republic means that power comes from the people; it does not mean that a politician can pull a foreign enemy out of his desk drawer whenever he sees fit and use that enemy to create a heroic image for himself.

And there is one thing we must not forget:

In this game, the people must not become pawns.

Because when leaders play chess, they are the ones moving the pieces; but the people are always the ones who pay the price of the game.

If Israel thinks it can buy legitimacy for itself by responding to every threat and turning every disagreer into a security spectacle, it is living in a fantasy.

Because Erdoğan is not the hero of the Muslims, and Israel is not the owner of the region.

So, gather up your pots and pans, because no one will believe the boy who cried wolf anymore.

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) is not merely a proverb, but a reflection of deep life experience and faith. It is a saying shaped by years of human struggle, patience, and understanding. This expression suggests that life is not governed by blind chance; rather, it unfolds according to wisdom and meaning, even when events appear negative at first glance. At first, people naturally define  evil  as anything that disrupts their peace: failure, loss, rejection, opposition, or unexpected obstacles. Yet with time, many of these painful moments reveal themselves as turning points. Without certain hardships, a person might remain on the wrong path, never discover inner strength, or fail to grow emotionally and spiritually. Therefore, this proverb is not truly about an “enemy,” but about  how we perceive difficulties . The most important part of the saying lies in the phrase  “if God wills.”  This emphasizes that go...

History Will Not Forget the Silence of Muslim Countries

History Will Not Forget the Silence of Muslim Countries History has shown time and again that no single enemy can defeat a nation or a region on its own. Before walls collapse, cracks appear from within; before an enemy attacks, negligence, division, and irresponsibility pave the way. The enemy does not always lie in wait beyond the borders; sometimes, they hide in the opportunities we ourselves create through weakness, division, and poor decisions. A house whose guardians compete with one another instead of protecting it will sooner or later succumb to danger. Nations are no different. Their downfall does not always begin with an enemy attack; sometimes, it begins at the moment when those in power forget their historical responsibility. The Middle East today is the victim of a great historical tragedy. A region that was once a center of civilization, knowledge, trade, and culture in the world is now paying the price for years of war, division, and misguided political decisions. Of cou...

The first forgiveness we must seek is from our own self

The first forgiveness we must seek is from our own self Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) If I were to ask forgiveness from someone in this world, I would begin with myself. Not out of selfishness, but out of honesty. Because upon closer examination, I realized that my greatest mistakes, my greatest failures, and my greatest injustices were not directed at others, but at myself. We usually understand forgiveness as a social concept; something that exists between me and another person. But we rarely consider that within ourselves, before anything else, there is a silent “other” whose rights have been violated for years: our own rights. I ask forgiveness from myself for the days when I was tired but did not allow myself to rest. For the nights when I wanted to cry but told myself I had to be “strong” and suppressed my emotions. For the times when I could have made a better decision for myself but, out of fear of others’ judgment, I did not ask for what I needed. I ask forgiveness from m...
