My thoughts, assertions and observations on issues important to me as a Jew, a Zionist, a Revenant in Yesha and as an inquisitive human being.
About Me
- YMedad
- Shiloh, Benjamin District, Samaria, Israel
- American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.

On Honour killings in Turkey.
Attached notes already mentions that it happens in the Kurdish society in Kurdish communities in the southeast and among the Kurdish people who immigrated to western Turkey. This is a Kurdish tradition along with others called berdel(forcing a widowed wife or husband to marry their sister or brother in law) and besik kertmesi which is arranged marriage from the baby ages.
Similar things happen in Umm el Fahm or Wadi Ara area or Yafo, these areas are in the heart of Israel but they are not Jewish. So please make the difference between Turkish and Kurdish as you would make the difference between Jewish and a Muslim Arab.
Anonymous, is it about honor of Tyrks for you? Men and their honor, makes me sick.
