Why are Arabists Celebrating Turkey?

Arabists everywhere, a bit of caution in celebrating Turkey: it still occupies large chunks of Arab (Syrian) territory, in parallel with the Armenian genocide it was responsible for the eviction of hundreds of thousands of Arab-speaking people, and it still has draconian laws against Arab speaking minorities. So even by your own pathetic political logic, you should be as opposed to Turkey as you are to Israel.
