International Trade: Turkey Now A Net Exporter Of Antisemitism

Turkey has been able to press its advantage in cheap manufacturing, with government-subsidized programs providing producers of Jew-hatred with incentives to augment output.

Istanbul, April 6 – Government figures for January-March 2015 show that Turkey’s balance of trade turned positive in the first quarter for the first time in decades, largely thanks to a surge in domestic production of Jew-hatred.

Like most Middle Eastern countries, Turkey has long relied on other manufacturers of antisemitism to feed its consumers, but over the last fifteen years a strong domestic Jew-hating industry has sprouted, offsetting the nation’s imports by an increasing amount each year. Burgeoning demand across the region, in Europe, and into Africa, has now spurred Turkish export growth to the point that the country exported 48,000 metric tons of antisemitism in the first three months of the year alone, more than enough to negate deficits from energy imports, food imports, and a blighted hazelnut crop that all but destroyed last season’s harvest.

Growing demand for antisemitism appeared across Europe last year after holding steady since the 1980’s, and an increased appetite for the product has been the order of the day from Morocco to Pakistan for the better part of a century. Turkey has been able to press its advantage in cheap manufacturing, with government-subsidized programs providing producers of Jew-hatred with incentives to augment output. Despite a permissive system of import tariffs that all but invites cheap foreign antisemitism, local manufacturers have succeeded in leveraging the low cost of labor and the generous tax breaks from Ankara to their advantage.

Turkish exports of Jew-hatred barely registered on the international scene until recent years, when President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan set up a government-controlled apparatus to produce the product on a larger scale. Erdoğan chafed at Turkey’s reliance on foreign sources for such a basic commodity, and soon spun off the centralized industry, which has proved so productive and profitable that the country now looks forward to at least two more years of trade surplus if other elements of the import/export picture remain stable.

Most of the antisemitism export growth has occurred, surprisingly, with Europe, where Jew-hatred has well-established roots, and from where most other countries, including Turkey, have nearly always imported the product. European purveyors of antisemitism dominated the global market for centuries, even as Middle Eastern and North African societies strove to compete. Ultimately the superiority of the European product carried the day, ensuring that the Continent’s antisemitism tilted the market in its favor.

However, after 1945 European manufacturers were forced by post-WWII circumstances to curtail production, leading to a shortage of the material that local makers struggled to address. That situation gave rise to entrepreneurial antisemitism ventures throughout the developing world, operations that laid the groundwork for Turkey’s current surge in the field of Jew-hatred production.

Oddly, Turkish government trade office spokesmen declined to take credit for the improved export statistics, attributing the success of antisemitic product to the policies of another Mideast nation entirely.
