Within Jun 5-11, 2017, four news articles that generate hate speech had been selected from print media for the weekly report. You can find these articles that generate hate speech against Kurds, Syrians, Jews and Greeks and the analyses below.¹

1. In his article titled “Arakan is dying, where are you?”, Tarık Sezai Karatepe associates Buddhists and Christians with terror and shows them as a threat and a factor of hostility against Muslims via using the expression “The Buddhist-Christian murderer kind of people surrounded Arakan in a night.”

2. In the title of Milat’s article, “Raid from Jews to Al-Jazeera Office”, the event in question is attributed to all Jewish people, even though they did not participate in the incident. The article, therefore, brings Jews under suspicion and exacerbates the existing enmity against them.

3. The article of Yeni Asır called "The Syrian who hits the high-school students", this single event is published by making a reference to the national identity of the suspect, even though it has nothing to do with the event. Hence, through an individual incident, all Syrian people are coded as criminals and demonstrated as a possible threat.

4. The article of Yeni Akit, which was published with the title “The honourless protest was cancelled in Mersin” on the front page and “There is no way to the deviant in Mersin” on the 16th page insults LGBTI+ people by using expressions as “The members of the deviant LGBT group who are trying to provoke people prepared a protest during Ramadan in İzmir despite reactions”, “honourless” and “deviant”. Thus, throughout the news, with the emphasis made to Ramadan, LGBTI people are accused of being provocateurs and marked as a threat against Muslims. Therefore, the article incites discrimination and enmity against LGBTI people.

^{1. Within the scope of the media monitoring work focusing on hate speech, all national newspapers and around 500 local newspapers are monitored based on pre-determined keywords (e.g. Traitor, apostate, refugee, Christian, Jewish, separatist, etc.) via the media monitoring center. While the main focus has been hate speech on the basis of national, ethnic and religious identities; sexist and homophobic discourses are also examined as part of the monitoring work.}
