The veil before your eyes is not one, not two; which will you lift?

So far 38 people have died in the protests held in support of Kobani. Hundreds of workplaces have been destroyed, and the homes and workplaces of people known to hold different views, particularly AK Party members, the devout, or those belonging to Hüda-Par, have been set on fire and looted. Libraries, orphanages and public buildings have been burned.

When asked, they say all these furious actions were carried out to convince people that there is a humanitarian tragedy in Kobani; that is, to draw attention to the tragedy in Kobani and thereby get help delivered to the people there.

Yet Turkey was already seeing the gravity of what was happening in Kobani and was providing the necessary aid there too. In just a few days it took in twice as many refugees as Western countries have taken since the Syrian crisis began, displaying the most beautiful example of solidarity with them.

If anything needed to be done for Kobani, Turkey was continuing to take steps within a framework of international solidarity. To this end, the necessary talks were being held with both NATO and the US, and PYD leader Salih Muslim was summoned to Ankara so that dialogue on this matter could continue in view of the struggle that must be waged against ISIS.

Yet just at this moment, the outcome of the street terror launched at the HDP's call and incitement to draw attention to Kobani was this: the ordinary humanitarian sensitivity in Turkey, which already existed toward every part of Syria before these actions, was considerably dulled toward Kobani.

Nobody in Turkey believes the news of catastrophe told by such rabid aggression. This brokering of tragedy has not even the credibility of the boy who cried wolf.

We said that Kobani, together with ISIS, was a trap set before Turkey. The greatest sign of this trap is that those who took sides in every sedition movement from the Gezi events to December 17 have united once again on the same side.

Cengiz Çandar, who has been unable to get out of the depression he fell into since the solution process began, has been seized by great hope and excitement over the latest events. He is trying to dress up the plain terror that caused 38 deaths, the vandal spectacle spilling out on all sides, as a glorious uprising. He has an air of saying "this time it's done."

He has also watched me on the BBC "with the naked eye." Whatever "watching the BBC report with the naked eye" means! Did he lift the BBC veil off the 2.5-minute portion selected from a half-hour interview and look at it? Or did he watch it after setting aside his grudge against Erdoğan and the AK Party that blinds his own eyes, his platonic love affair with the US and the PKK, and the senselessness of someone whose every prediction has recently turned out wrong, whose mind is not enough even for himself, yet who has wisdom to sell? The veil before your eyes is not one, not two; how can you look with the naked eye?

What did we say? We asked the BBC, and those behind it, who incite urgent intervention in Kobani: "Do you remember humanity only in Kobani?" Every day in Syria dozens of tragedies worse than Kobani occur; why are you absent from every one of them, and why do you make no such demand of Turkey in any of them, yet behave as if in Kobani there were suddenly the greatest tragedy the world has ever seen?

Mr. Çandar, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, and of course, from the parallel quota of the cadre, Ms. Nazlı Ilıcak: you know full well that the trap into which our country is being drawn lies in this question.

The UN has pronounced that "if no measures are taken, Kobani could become Srebrenica." By all means, stay away, lest Kobani become Srebrenica. Nobody forgets that the massacre in Bosnia took place under UN supervision.

All the news coming from Kobani says that the city's civilians have been entirely evacuated. It says that only fighting ISIS and PYD/PKK militants remain. And the examples Merve Şebnem Oruç gave yesterday in her article, in an extremely striking way, tell of dozens of areas where, right now, only children and civilians are dying under the Assad regime's barrel bombs. Yet as Oruç also said, "those massacres have no popularity, those tortures get no hits."

NAZLI ILICAK HAS LEARNED TO COUNT NUMBERS, NOW HANDING OUT A MATH PRIZE

Meanwhile Nazlı Ilıcak has learned to count numbers too, and is handing out Nobel prizes in mathematics. Thank her, she deemed me worthy of the prize, but I do not think I deserve a prize that would tie my mind and conscience to this or that parallel.

Have someone read her this piece by Merve Şebnem Oruç a few times: Don't read it yourself. Whoever gave you whatever prize, you are by now mixing up the numbers, and the letters too. With this foggy head, you will understand nothing of what you read:

"On Friday in Syria, 19 civilians died in a barrel-bomb attack carried out in Daraa by warplanes of the Syrian army. Among the dead were 8 children, and dozens of people were wounded.

On Thursday, 25 civilians died when a regime warplane bombed a market place in the Arbin district of the capital Damascus. Among the dead were 3 women and 3 children, and 150 people were wounded.

On the eve of the holiday, a Syrian army warplane killed 23 civilians in an attack on a residential area in Douma, in the eastern part of Damascus. While Assad's forces attacked Qaboun, Zamalka, Douma, Arbin, Daughaniye and Jobar in the Damascus area with tanks and artillery, on the same day they struck Handarat, Masaken Hanano and Haydariye in Aleppo with barrel bombs.

In Idlib alone, 20 barrel bombs were dropped on the first day of the holiday. Two days earlier, 24 civilians lost their lives in a barrel-bomb attack by the regime on the opposition-held Haydariye and Sheikh Faris districts in Aleppo."

The only prize deserved by those who fail to see these places and weep, and make others weep, for a Kobani whose civilians have all been evacuated, is the foxiness prize.

Besides, foxes are plentiful in Anatolia anyway; whom do you think you are fooling?
