Within March 26 - April 1, 2018, four articles that generate hate speech were selected. You can find these articles that contain hate speech against Serbians, the French, Armenians, Jews and Canadians as well as the analyses written about them below.¹

1. In the article published in Milli Gazete with the title “CANADIAN TERRORIST STANDS TRIAL”, Canadian and Christian identity of the suspect who allegedly killed 6 people is highlighted. In this way, these identities are associated with “terrorism” and crime.

2. The article published in Yeni Konya with the title “Sneaky plot of the Jew” covers Israel’s housing project planned to be realized in the West Bank by referring to Jewish identity. Thus, the article reinforces the prejudices against Jews.

3. In the article published in Yeni Söz with the title “The massacre carried out by the French in Antep is not forgotten” on the front page and with the title “France’s massacres in African countries” inside, all French people are held responsible for the events by an emphasis on the identity in the titles. Armenians are also portrayed as traitors with provocative remarks as the following: “Local Armenians who betrayed their Ottoman state because of the provocations and incitements of the occupants during the WW I began to stab Turkish people in the back” and “Armenians who are full of greed, resentment and hatred against Turks”. Armenians and the French are portrayed as enemies throughout the article with the descriptions of war and massacre.

4. In the article published in Milli Gazete with the title “Serbian terrorists attack the imam”, the national identity of the suspects is highlighted. Thus, the newspaper accuses all Serbians by associating them with “terrorism” and violence and provokes the readers 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.}
