Jewish writer murdered in Turkey, antisemitism suspected as motive
#EverydayAntisemitism
The popular Turkish-Jewish author Beki İkala Erikli, has been found murdered in Istanbul.
Erikli was found shot outside her office in Istanbul.
It was reported in the Turkish press that she had been shot three times in the afternoon, and was found lying in a pool of her own blood.
She is married to a Turkish Muslim man, and briefly lived in America before returning to Turkey.
The local Jewish community, of which she was an active member, raised concerns that this could be an antisemitic murder.
Erikli’s books were apparently popular among Turkish women.

“jewish girls are beautiful” “this blog supports jewish people” etc. posts don’t make me feel safer. they’re empty, hollow displays of allyship that mean nothing outside of this website, which is where our safety is actually threatened. where we face actual antisemitic violence. if you legitimately care about jewish safety the bare minimum you can do is at least reblog the posts WE make about antisemitism, elevate jewish voices, and bring up antisemitism to your friends, families, and co-workers. let go of that smug sense of comfort you get from reblogging positivity posts and do something that might be uncomfortable but is actually meaningful.

OK people, we have a really important thing to say about this. OK. Ready?
If you get antibiotics to treat an STD YOU REALLY GOTTA TAKE ALL OF THEM AS DIRECTED. Even if you feel a bit better, or a sore heals up, or whatever. Seriously. When you do not take all of your meds you may not actually clear up your infection. And what happens then? THIS:
Health officials have been warning us about the threat of “super gonorrhea"—a strain of the sexually transmitted disease that is resistant to all known antibiotics—for over a year. But the superbug is here, much faster than previously anticipated. On Wednesday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a cluster of gonorrhea infections that shows both decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone and very high-level resistance to azithromycin. It’s the first time this superbug has been found in the U.S.
