Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live conversation with Knesset political adviser Prof. Avraham Diskin on A9 TV; 3 January 2012
PROF. AVRAHAM DISKIN: First of all I would like to say that everyone who supports this between all people regardless of their beliefs and origin should be blessed. I would like to ask a question about the relationship between Turkey and Israel. In the past, there were very, very good relations not only at the level of governments between Turkey and Israel, but also between the peoples, and it looks that as of recently, there is a sort of deterioration both on the governmental level, and also a growing hostility at least among parts of the peoples, and I wonder if one can be optimistic about the future given these developments?
ADNAN OKTAR: The truth of the matter is that things have never been good between Turkey and Israel, between the Islamic world and Israel in that sense. But they will be now. They will be good in the time of the King Messiah, the Mahdi. If things were ever good, that was just on the surface. I mean, Israel has never enjoyed friendship, closeness or a climate of security with any country in the true sense of the word. Not if we are being realistic. There have been military agreements and commercial agreements. But there has always been that suspicion and tension. I mean, there has never been a climate of love and brotherhood at the level described in the Torah and the hadiths. It is happening for the first time, or will happen for the first time. For the first time in truth. That is why all Israeli intellectuals must support this development. They must pray to Allah for the coming of the King Messiah, for the coming of the Mahdi. They must beg Allah in the synagogues. Our intellectual Israeli brothers or the ones who hold different political opinions, they all have a duty to seek the Mahdi, the King Messiah, from Allah. Otherwise, superficial friendships are meaningless. For example, America and Israel are friends, but there has never been true friendship between them. There has never been a reliable climate. I mean, whether it be American Protestants or Orthodox or Catholics, the attitude toward Israel has never been of the kind we want to see, as set out in the hadiths and the Torah. This will be the very first time. People have to be realistic and strive to behave in a good manner befitting this fine age.
