Apart from a few idiots nobody claims it is Turkish dialect.

There are some shared vocabulary, but thats pretty much it. Kurdish is much closer to Farsi.

So with your argument do you imply tens of thousands civilians murdered in the ongoing genocide are "Hamas" then?

"Hamas and Gaza" You mean Palestinians right? But yeah, it seems genocide is a profitable business.

Prolonged "surgical" strikes continued so long that there is almost nothing left to operate on I guess. And your justification is that some farms are not completely destroyed? What a disingenuous remark.

Are you sure? what about fossils and other remains? So far there is zero evidence that there was an advanced or non advanced civilization. Unfortunately this nonsense is the bread and butter ot pseudo archeologists.

Eeh, not really. German's think because some Swiss resent them a little, it is all about them.

EU countries, especially Italy, Germany and Portugal are the biggest immigration source in Switzerland (EU/EFTA immigration ~60%), Germany is ~13% of the total.

Non EU, especially outside of Eurepean immigration is a smaller part, but if you looked at SVP pamphlets you see a very different picture.
