Turkish actor claims Jews made the Bible into political book

The Torah has been falsified by the Jewish rabbis, Turkish actor Bahadir Yenişehirlioğlu said in an interview on Turkish television.

Yenişehirlioğlu, who played the lead role in the antisemitic Turkish TV series “Payitaht: Abdülhamid” (The Last Emperor), told TRT Arabic TV that the Jews have turned the Torah into an ideological and politicised book that espouses Zionism by saying that the Jews are the “chosen people,” and that other nations exist to be the Jews’ slaves.

Yenişehirlioğlu said that Zionist Jews are different from non-Zionist Jews, and criticised Israel for treating the Palestinians in what he said was a Nazi-like fashion.

He further claimed that Israel is imprisoning Palestinian children and sterilising them by exposing them to concentrated radiation. He added that Israel’s expansionist policy has been enabled by American support.
