Yet no Kurdish.
And even though I asked people on this thread, made a critical point, it is still going by ignored. Why? Because most people are ignorant concerning ME-culture. The West supported the Arabs and Turks and ignored the Kurdish plight - and now this.
Well Kurds have a problem, everyone in the region from Turks to Arabs and Iranians don't want them to have a piece of the pie. I believe that they have US support though tbh. You are Kurdish right?
And why don't the Turks to Arabs to Iranians want Kurdish to have a piece?
Because the Kurdish will do in a few years what those other nations have MISERABLY failed to do for decades. Just observe Iraqi Kurdistan; it is so prosperous that the "democratic" Arab government is finding it hard to swallow to the point of almost escalating it to a civil war.
In Syria, the people who fought the jihadist FSA members - without any support from Assad the dictator - are the Kurdish. Even to the point that it scared the crap out of jihadists.
Kurdish populations from every country have made it clear they do NOT want religious oppression, they do not want a dictator. They want democracy and freedom to prosper.
They have VERY limited US support, because the US caters to a conglomerate of lobbies - of which the Saudi's are a part of.
In fact, I've found the only people supporting the Kurdish struggle are Israelis. Maybe for their own self-gain(I don't think so) or maybe because they understand what it's like to be hated and persecuted for being who you are. Or maybe because the Kurdish and Jewish are close relatives? I don't know.
All I know is, it is DISGUSTING that the Kurdish people go largely ignored by the MSM, only sporadically are they mentioned and then only as appendix to the FSA(which raises huge questions about journalistic integrity and even raises questions about the political allegiance of these so called news-stations). FOX for example, is half-owned by a Saudi Arabian.
It is digusting because they are the voice for freedom, equality and democracy in the Middle-East.
