Within August 14-20, 2017, four news articles that generate hate speech were selected. You can find these articles that generate hate speech against Syrians, Jews, LGBTIs and non-Muslims as well as the analyses written about them below.¹

1. In the news article titled “Syrian fight in Zeytinburnu” published in the newspaper Habertürk, a fight between two groups is reported in such a way to bring all Syrians under suspicion with statements such as “Syrians who started a fight among themselves turned the area into a warzone” and “The people living in the neighborhood also reacted against this fight of Syrians” within the title and contents of the article. The newspaper thus fuels the already existing prejudice and discrimination towards Syrians in the society.

2. In the news article titled "Jews first destroyed and then bombed" published by the newspaper Milat, an event for which the Israeli state and armed forces are responsible is conveyed in such a way to bring all Jews under suspicion. Jews are thus associated with violence and the existing prejudice towards Jews in the society is fueled.

3. The newspaper Milli Gazete publishes a news article titled "SPONSORSHIP FOR DEVIANCE" in which LGBTIs are insulted for their sexual orientations and sexual identities in a repeated manner as in the statements: “Moore assumes a kind of sponsorship and advertising function of the deviance in Turkey. The short films that are awarded will be shown in various cities in Turkey and in England, and deviance is planned to be disseminated in this way”. The news article targets LGBTIs and codes them as a ‘threat’ to the society fueling the already existing discrimination towards them.

4. Erkan Tan in his article titled “FIRST THE PRAYER”, with the subtitle “CHILDREN OF UNBELIEVERS, GIAOURS” and the statements “PKK and PKK lovers, DHKP/C and its lovers, ISIS deviants, psychos, they are all bloodshedders. They are the servants of Crusaders and Zionists. They are all children of unbelievers and giaours,” reinforces the enmity towards non-Muslim identities in Turkey by using the word ‘giaour’, which is used as an expression of hate and humiliation against them.

^{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.}
