The people booing yes. Not the majority of Turkey, not the government of Turkey. Are you honestly suggesting that the people booing were honouring them?
We need to stop painting with broad brushes
in both directions as it's disingenuous either way. This act says nothing about the people of Turkey workout knowing how many feel that way. It is however, a clear show of disrespect by some in the crowd no matter how much you want to defend them.
These two things are totally possible:
1. The overwhelming majority of Turks do not support terrorism and in fact the moment of silence suggests this
2. Some in the crowd did not feel that way
