Hilarious! I hope Rojava’s future is also the same as Kirkuk :)
why? what is wrong with freedom for 30 million people?
Matty, your version of freedom… why don’t you keep it for yourself?
Because this is an open platform, herr miron
Freedom? They have not been slaves. They are free to begin with. Oh you mean the freedom to detonate more car bombs in Iran right? Yea about that. The world rejects the Kurdish demand to terrorize non-Kurd’s like when they ethnically cleansed millions of Armenians during the Kurdish created genocide against Armenians. Yea, we must never allow that again!
According to the kurds i know, they were not free at all! One from syria and one from iran, both ran away. How many kurds do you know?
Ran away? Millions of Kurd’s live in Iran with powerful voices and business and youtube channels. They are not slaves. You are a Zionist-supremacist propagator spreading a disinformation campaign of hateful lies. That is why you have zero evidence. Tell your friend who ran away to make a youtube video showing his face and telling his story lol. https://holodomorinfo.com/
Sure, whatever you say
You are a hypocrite, only mentioning the wrong doing of the kurds, but ignore the wrong doing towards the kurds
Oh please tell me how Christians have done wrong to kurd’s? Please give me the name, date time and place where Christians genocided millions of Kurd’s?
who said christians? But christians killed many others……
I said that Kurd’s genocided Christians during the Armenian-genocide which was committed by Kurd’s. I am asking when Armenians genocided millions of Kurd’s? Why do Kurd’s car bomb Iranians citizens? Why are Kurd’s so racist? Why do Kurd’s invade indigenous Germanic tribal peoples? Why are Kurd’s so racist? Why were Kurd’s part of Stalin’s terror machine against citizens of Iran?
Wow, you found another evil group of people! You know what? kurds and jews have the same genes!!!
I know all about the Holodomor as many of my tribe was genocide by you bigots. https://holodomorinfo.com/
And what bigot you think “we” are then? What does west europe have to do with the holodomor?
You are a Zionist-supremacist bigot. Your cover is blown! http://smoloko.com/wp-content/uploads/JudaismIsEvilMeme-4.jpg
My cover, haha
Stop talking shit
The christians france and united kingdom conqured that part of the world in the early 19th centry and devided the kurds to into the 4 countires around it only to be supressed and not have equal rights. Stop talking out of your ass.
Karkuk belongs to kurdistan.
I can tell right away you a turkish bastard just by how dogs bark. We will liberate Kirkuk soon and inshallah the rojava in the near future.
SDF better take note. Learn
Iraqi government and armed forces need to move to Erbil to physically arrest Barzani and his Zionist accomplices for high treason against the state.
SDF take note! You will face high treason charges as well!
US wants to stay in Iraq so it can’t help Barzani. If it does, it risks being Expelled from Iraq as a Double Dealing Bandit !!
Indeed, Iraqi government should make that very clear to USA that they have the option to close the biggest embassy in the world.
bitter day for kurdish traitors
A lot of them certainly are.
traitor? explain
There will be a free Kurdistan. And there will be a defeat to the Iranian and Shia monsters and murderers.
Im hope that my goverment will help the Kurds in anyway, including weapons, soldiers and air force against the Shiites.
Because you the Zionist the world is not safe place and mid- east is all fucked up.Fuck you all
You mean the Jews, we all to be blame, in every problem in the world, like Hitler said. Say it loud and clear: YOU HATE THE JEWS! AND YOU WANT TO DESTROY US LIKE YOU TRIED FOR 2000 YEARS! But I have news for you: You will NOT succeed. We are here to stay. Because of that Israel supports the Kurds and I personlly hope not just with words but with weapons and with training and with action of the IDF against Iran the terrorist and its puppets. God bless Israel and Kurdistan!
you, personally belong in lager. you are nationalist, conqueror, hater of others.
Solomon Krupacek, maybe I am. But I have many historic reasons to be. This is for another debate.
This is for another debate.
Sure. My granfather saved jews. My teacher was jew. i borrowed from him lot off books. i have to emplers jews in my firm. i respect their sabbat. i like jewsh culture. but i dont like israel.
this was big mistake also from your side. i think, until end of this century you will leave that soil. for lot of reasons.
Yes, you like the Jews very weak, and very small in numbers. Must have been billions of Jews by now if you hadn’ t killed us and make us by force become muslims and Christians. But now there are only 15 millions Jews left in the world. Small amount as you like. But those 15 milliins are not weak anymore. They have Israel, they dont give the other cheek anymore. They will fight till the end with their atomic bombs. So let us see if you take us till the end of this century. If so, we will take ALL of you with us. Lets us give God decide we will stay/win We are all nothing before God, you and I. Good luck with this.Really.
Our Messiah has told both you and us. two thirds of you will be cut off, and one third saved when half of Jerusalem is taken. Go and read Zachariah 14 Go and learn from Daniel who told you clearly ” seventy weeks are determined on your people and your holy city…” You chose to Ignore what God told you very clearly …and you are still today following the customs of men not the commandments of God. I hope you make it into the remnant that is to be saved; that is all I wish to say
Hmm weren’t that the US jews that have financed the rise of nazi germany and helped them to take over most of europe.
And I hope your government also pays for the brain transplant you so desperately need.
Really? Also Israel was attacked by 5 Arab countries in 1948 when it was established and Israel won big time. And so do the Kurds can. They must stand strong and firm against the aggrresion of Terrorist Iran and its puppets with the help of Israel and U.S.A. And you need a transplant of a dick so you become a man and won’t run anymore from ISIS like you did, until the aircrafts of U.S.A. came to attack ISIS.
I think the flow of events is already discrediting you. Sit back and enjoy the show. The next move is on US/Nutanyahoo/Barzani. And it had better be a calculated one.
GO CRY ON YOUR WIFE LAPSE. TRAITOR AND BACKSTABBERS OF THIER NATION WILL HAVE WORST FATE THEN THIS SPECIALLY THIEFS AND BARZANI KURDS WAS THIEF SELLING OIL TO ISRAEL AND US WITHOUT KNOWING THIER OWN PEOPLE AND ALLMONEY WAS IN BARZANI

Waaoh fanstastic news of freedom, first liberating from ISIS terrorists, now from the rule of PKK related terrorists. Congratulations to all Arabs for this great liberation!
Haha so the Kurd’s do not just talk like Ashkenazi-Jews but they also fight like them to lol. Always needing Americans to fight their wars for them the bigots. The world will not be missing the Kurdish terrorist not one bit. And all your drug gangs in the streets of Germany can also rot, all you do is thieve and blow people up. Talk tough then run before the battle ever truly begins.
Stop talking shit and spreading hate. We are the poeple. Fuck use backward thinking farse arab and turks. Use.sll are full of hate. Never wanted anything good for the kurds. We cant even live in peace in the lands that belong to us.
We are racist? Look in kurdistan iraq we accommodate over a million refugees. If we were so racist I will be take Arabs and Turks in as refuge asshole?! Stop talking shit. Kurds had nothing to do with armenias genocide that was the turks get your facts right or dont clean your own hands on the kurds.
United Snake of America (USA) are exploitas and traitors you foolish Kurds were warm not to break unity with your fellow country man.It is beter to stay united not including devided United States of America.Never uses the war in Iraq and Syria as opportunity to backstab your fellow country men Arabs.Americans will sucks you like a oranges as their did to Gadafi request him to abandone nuclear weapons and killed him.Support Sadam and killed him.Supported Jona Savimbi and killed him.Create Taliban,ISIS and Alqaida and betrayed them for their own benefit.
Whilst I generally support the Kurds push for independence, they’ve been getting greedy lately by holding areas that don’t belong to them i.e. that aren’t heavily Kurdish. I fear they’re doing the same in Syria at the moment in Raqqa and northern Deir Ez Zor province.
The Kurds should stay in the north and stop pushing southward. When the war with ISIL is over they will have a much better chance of attracting international support if they don’t look like land-grabbers.
The land-grabbing they did after the Armenian genocide. Now they look more like a door mat for Anglo-Zionists to clean their boots on.
