Turkish Parliamentary Speaker Cemil Cicek late on Wednesday addressed members of Turkey's tiny Jewish community and others at a Holocaust Memorial Day event and said rising anti-Semitism was linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "As we remember the pain of the past, ** one can ig**re the last attacks on Gaza, in which 2,000 in**cent children, women were massacred. We need to see the picture as a whole," Cicek said, referring to Israel's war in July with Hamas-ruled Gaza.
