JERUSALEM: Islamists celebrating Erdogan election win call for massacre of Jews

Crowds of Muslims celebrated Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s presidential election victory Sunday evening at the Temple Mount, chanting “Khyber, Khyber al-Yehud” – an explicit call for the massacre of Jews as occurred in the Khyber battle in 629.

According to Israeli journalist Yoni ben Menachem, public Islamic figures from eastern Jerusalem have helped Erdogan’s election campaign in recent weeks.
