Erdogan government allowed Turkish soldiers to be killed by ISIS despite being able to rescue them - Nordic Monitor
nordicmonitor.com/2024/04/erdogan-government-left-turkish-soldiers-burned-alive-by-isis-despite-being-able-to-rescue-them/
Quick Glance: Erdogan Government Negligence in Turkish Soldiers' Deaths by ISIS
- The Turkish government allegedly failed to rescue two soldiers before their killing by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in 2016. Their bodies were reportedly buried secretly in a region of Syria controlled by the Turkish intelligence without being brought back to Turkey or informing the families.
- Veteran journalist Adem Yavuz Arslan claimed that Turkish intelligence officials negotiating with ISIS argued that the survival of two more soldiers was not a top priority due to existing casualties. After a video documenting the soldiers' deaths led to public outcry, the government restricted internet access.
- The Turkish General Staff neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the video but visited one soldier's family to declare him a 'martyr.' Further controversies arose from the arrest of the ISIS judge in Turkey responsible for the soldiers' deaths and the involvement of government officials in the negotiations with ISIS.
- Despite evidence linking the Erdogan government to armed jihadist groups, the judge was temporarily released and later sentenced to life imprisonment. This case highlighted the government's controversial dealings with extremist elements and the consequences of negligence in protecting Turkish soldiers.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.
