Hitler Honored in Upscale Istanbul Mall
The Jewish Press ^ | January 15, 2013 | Lori Lowenthal Marcus

People who have been paying attention know that relations between Israel and Turkey have been eroding, but not many realize that Turkey is now not only openly hostile to the Jewish State, but also to the Jewish people.

On Friday, January 11, a Turkish citizen took a picture to show exactly how belligerent Turkey has become. The picture is of a huge poster with the words, “Who Would You Like to Meet if You Could?” and the last name, and only photograph, is of Adolf Hitler. The other choices include Suleiman I, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Napolean Bonaparte, the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Vladimir Lenin, Boris Yeltsin, Leonardo Da Vinci, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Jackson. But only Hitler warranted a picture, a huge one at that.

According to Ege Berk Korkut, an active Turkish writer and blogger, the sign was placed in the Sapphire Mall by the owners, a group of Turkish businessmen who are devoted to Erdogan. Korkut explained to The Jewish Press that the Sapphire is an ultra-upscale mall in Levent, the wealthiest neighborhood in Istanbul. The Sapphire building is one of the tallest buildings in Europe.

I visited Istanbul this past October. The largest mall, if you want ot call it that, is the Grand Bazaar. With more than a 1/4 million visitors daily filtering thru the covered streets. Not sure where this mall with the picture of Hitler is ... but I will say this ... Germans like to retire in Turkey ... especially in certain suburbs of Istanbul. Frankfurt is only 2.5 hours away, this is a very profitable market lane for Lufthansa ...

In time when the nations go against Israel, to put it mildly, it will not be pretty for those nations.

I can't imagine why Hitler would be like that.
