Istanbul – A small number of Turks are responding to their president’s call to boycott American electronic goods by posting videos in which they smash iPhones with bats, hammers and other blunt instruments.

In one video , a man collects iPhones from several youths squatting in front of a Turkish flag, lays the devices on the ground and pounds them with a sledgehammer. “For the motherland!” he says at one point.
In another video, a boy pours a plastic bottle of Coca Cola into a toilet in a show of repugnance for U.S. goods.
American products remain widely used in Turkey, which is locked in a dispute with Washington over an American pastor being tried in a Turkish court and other issues. The two countries have also imposed tariffs on each other’s goods.
Smashing iPhones? Sounds like a nice Chassidish bunch!
The Turks are acting like they are relevant. Apparently, they still didn’t get the news their empire crashed quite a few years ago.
The French were 100% correct in blocking Turkey from joining the EU and Euro Zone years ago. Now their pro-PLO Islamist Erdogan tyrant has jailed 100,000 ‘enemies’, killed a semi-free press and destroyed the economy. He’s just another islamic corrupt sultan. Next he’ll attack the 25,000 Jews left there.
