Antisemitism in Turkey refers to acts of hostility against Jews in the Republic of Turkey, as well as the promotion of antisemitic views and beliefs in that country. ==Demographics== Jews have been living on the territory of the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey for more than 2,400 years. Initially the population consisted of Romaniote Jews of Greek affiliation, but they were later assimilated into the community of Sephardic Jews who emigrated to the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century from Iberia following persecution by the Spanish Inquisition. Although Jews in 2009 only made up slightly more than 0.03% of the Turkish population, the Turkish Republic nevertheless houses one of the largest Jewish communities in the Muslim world. The population of Turkish Jews counted 23,000 individuals〔 that year. Most Jews reside in Istanbul. There are 23 active synagogues in Turkey, including 16 in Istanbul alone. Historically, the Jewish population of the Ottoman Empire reached its apex at the end of the 19th century, when Jews numbered around 500,000 individuals, of which approximately half lived on the territory of the modern Republic of Turkey. Despite Jews being only a tiny fraction of the population today, antisemitic sentiments are quite common among modern-day Turks. Public critique of Israeli policy in Turkey has a tradition of turning into expressions of general antisemitic sentiment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Antisemitism in the Turkish Media. Part III. Targeting Turkey's Jewish Citizens )〕 Since 2009, a fall in the Jewish population has been registered on this account. By September 2010 the Jewish population dropped to 17,000 people, mostly due to an emigration to Israel which has been explained by security concerns stemming from rising antisemitic sentiments following incidents such as the 2006 Lebanon War, the 2008–2009 Gaza War and the May 2010 Gaza flotilla raid in which nine Turkish citizens were killed after assaulting Israeli Navy commandos boarding the flotilla ships to uphold the maritime blockade against Gaza. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antisemitism in Turkey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
