And here's some more about satire, Turkey and Erdogan. Serdar Somuncu in Der Spiegel:

'For days now, angry Turkish nationalists and supporters of the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have been bombarding me with hate mail and posting on my Facebook wall. The reason: my appearance on "Anne Will," a German political talk show, during which I supposedly attacked Erdogan and defended the controversial and insulting poem by satirist Jan Böhmermann that sparked an international incident over the last few weeks.

My argumentation was in no way anti-Turkish, and I clearly expressed my reservations about the way the poem intentionally transgressed boundaries. Nonetheless, I have been accused, mostly in Turkish, of justifying its insults. I have been told that I am a traitor to my fatherland, that I sold Turkish honor to the German devil and that I sold myself out for my career.'

'The Turks have lost their trust in Germany -- and the Germans theirs in Turkey. German-Turks are balancing between their two identities as they would on a tightrope. Only when Germany understands that Turks are a part of their society will the willingness of the Turks to decide for one side or the other become greater. Only when people are no longer asking which conditions Turkey still needs to fulfill to be recognized as a full-fledged part of Europe, will the willingness of German-Turks to cut the rope on which they are balancing -- and to decide for the side that is doing the most for them -- become greater.'

The Turks living in Germany may have lost their trust in Germany, and perhaps they have good reasons for that, but does that necessarily lead tot the conclusion that they feel that they have to show solidarity with Erdogan and trample on the beautiful tradition of repressive tolerance?

Jews may have lost their trust in France or Germany or Hungary, but does that mean that they have to identify with Netanyahu?
