Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel on Sunday of deliberately killing Palestinian mothers and warned it would "drown in the blood it sheds", pulling foreign policy to centre stage as a presidential race enters its final week.

Hundreds of thousands of people had filled the rally site -- a 1.2 million square meters area in Maltepe -- hours before Erdogan's appearance to voice their support for him in Sunday's election.

During his passionate address to his supporters, Erdogan renewed his strong criticism against ongoing Israeli offensives on the Gaza strip, which have left at least 1,830 Palestinians dead according to Palestinian health ministry.

Addressing hundreds of thousands of supporters at his biggest rally so far ahead of the Aug. 10 election, Erdogan said "Just like Hitler, who sought to establish a race free of all faults, Israel is chasing after the same target."

"They kill women so that they will not give birth to Palestinians; they kill babies so that they won't grow up; they kill men so they can't defend their country ... They will drown in the blood they shed," he said.

Pro-Palestinian sentiment runs high in Turkey, and protesters have repeatedly taken to the streets in recent weeks to demonstrate against Israel's offensive in Gaza.

The Israeli offensive – codenamed "Operation Protective Edge," is the self-proclaimed Jewish state's third major offensive against the densely-populate Gaza Strip within the last six years.

Civilians, including children and women, make up a substantial part of the causalities from the relentless shelling and bombardments in Gaza, where many residential places as well as UN facilities, schools and mosques have become targets.

"They will drown in the blood they shed," Erdogan added.

Turkey may be, but Erdogan isn't. That guy is probably an honorary member of the Islamic State.

The government has..the people haven't.

Turkish police, who were attempting to investigate the government, are themselves getting arrested in droves.

Have you been there, Bob of Burleson? The people have indeed not fought Muslims because so many are Muslims. It's not a place for any large gathering of internationally acclaimed physicians.

Did you mean to ask me?

Yes, been there many times.

[ann jusko]

No, Greg, I figured you'd been there, but probably not in the last two or three years. Am I right? I know our physician friend hasn't.
