Within June 12-18, 2017, three news articles that generate hate speech were selected from the print media. You can find these articles that generate hate speech against Syrians and Jews as well as the analyses written about them below.¹

1. An isolated event is covered with an emphasis on the national identity despite the lack of a direct link in the news article titled “Syrians have terrorized!” published by the newspaper Bizim Sakarya as in statements such as “A Syrian refugee employed in a factory within Hendek Organized Industrial Zone went with a group of 15-20 Syrians to the factory where he left after a discussion Syrians bombarded a service bus and a private vehicle with stones injuring two workers”. Syrians are thus coded as a potential threat and associated with crime based on a singular event.

2. Yıldız Ramazanoğlu, in her column titled “Touching on the wounds of Jerusalem”, with statements such as “How come the Jews, who are victims of Europe, do not see any harm in applying the misdoings imposed on them on another people as a tit-for-tat despite their belief which orders 'you should not kill'" brings Jews under suspicion, associate them with violence and fuels hate towards them.

3. An isolated event is covered with an emphasis on national identity despite the lack of a direct link in the news article titled “Syrian kids stabbed a child” published by the newspaper Habertürk. Syrians are thus coded as a potential threat and associated with crime based on a singular event.

^{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.}
