The most CORRUPT FIFA World Cup
FIFA SUSPENDS Team USA Player, Folarin Balogun’s Red Card after White House Appeal
Every VAR call is now in question ESPECIALLY with that last Iran OFFSIDE call.
I like team USA and this is still a JOKE to me. You reviewed it with VAR, you gave it, it has to stand.
Big rise in fake Kurdish accounts. None of them are Kurds. All their tweets are about division. In English. Whilst also posting in Turkish, Farsi and Arabic. It’s obvious but incase you fell for it somehow..
Simple questions:
Why do 5 million Palestinians have the "right" to a state, but not 40-60 million freedom-seeking #Kurds?
Why are there endless marches & protests for Palestinians, but not Kurds?
Why is the UN obsessed with Palestinians, but doesn't give a damn about Kurds?
Trump administration plans to sell jet engines for combat planes to Turkey.
Are we nuts?
Are we blind to Turkey’s geopolitical, neo-Ottoman plans?
To its allegiance to radical Muslim Brotherhood?
To its support of Hamas?
To its brazen threats to #Cyprus, #Greece, #Israel…?
Palestinians have had many chances for statehood.
They’ve rejected all of them.
Yet there’s a global industry clamoring for Palestinian statehood.
#Kurds, far more populous than Palestinians, have long dreamed of a state, but never been offered one.
Yet global silence.
WHY?
Sometimes a small note tells a big story.
An Israeli fighter pilot of Kurdish descent sent a short message from the cockpit:
“Dear Zakan family
Greetings from Zakho, on the way to Tehran
See you soon ❤️”
Zakho is a historic Kurdish city in Kurdistan – the city from which his family originates.
Between the skies of the Middle East and his Kurdish roots, this small note reflects identity, heritage and mission.
Members of the Kurdish Jewish community are part of every layer of Israeli society – including the skies, serving in the elite units of the Israeli Air Force.
Proud of our community.
Proud of Israel.

President of the Kurdish Community in Israel

Returns of IDPs to Afrin have begun. “They cut down all our trees; they were like our children!" one returnee said.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t want to return to their home? We’ve been away for 8 years. Trees are like a person’s children. The Amshad (Sultan Sulaiman Shah) group was in our home. They cut down all our trees! We have nothing left! They looted everything we had!” - Rudaw
This year, I will not celebrate “International Women’s Day.”
When I witnessed the silence, indeed the complicity, of global women’s movements as Rojava- one of the most brilliant, egalitarian, pro-women revolutions the world has ever seen- was being slaughtered; when I saw the world’s women silent while our brave Women’s Protection Units (YPJ)- who pledged their lives to protect all women- were executed, thrown off buildings, beheaded, and their braids, the symbols of their courage, cut off by Islamist extremists, I understood something vital:
Some of you women are handmaidens of patriarchy. Some of you bow to empire, war, violence, Epstein, and worse men. I do not wish you power or success. I do not wish you a happy Women’s Day. I wish your weakness to be crushed and your betrayals to be exposed.
So this International Women’s Day, I speak only of Kurdish women: the long denied, the long silenced, the long oppressed. Kurdish women: courageous, revolutionaries, world-shapers. You, who alone picked up arms against ISIS when the world trembled in fear. You, who endured chemical bombardments, slavery, kidnapping, massacres, and genocide of your culture, identity and language- yet stood to defend yourself, defended Life, defended Freedom. You, who climbed the ancient mountains of Kurdistan to defend your honor and your nation- you carry decades of Kurdish revolutions on your back, the grief of a staeless people, yet continue to inspire with your unending love for freedom, hope, and peace. You who brought our kidnapped Yezidi sisters home from the clutches of ISIS! You who still perch on the highest peaks of the Zagros and Qandil mountains, resolute and unyielding.
On this day, I wish you- Kurdish women: the oppressed yet courageous; the silenced yet outspoken; the stateless yet defenders of human rights; the victim yet the revolutionary- Happy Women’s Day.
Though you face yet another existential war in Rojhilat, Eastern Kurdistan, no other women on this planet are better equipped to carry the burden- and the honor- of liberating yourselves from the patriarchal dystopia the Ayatollahs have created. You have resisted for decades, and you have witnessed the courage of your Kurdish sisters in Basur defeat Saddam’s dictatorship; in Bakur, how your Kurdish susters continue to resist the murderous assimilations of the Turkish regime; and in Rojava, how your Kurdish sisters made Assad and ISIS tremble in fear, and now terrorize the new oppressor, Ahmad al-Sharaa.
To the women of Rojhilat and Rojava who remain under existential threats- you embody “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi”! You are Life, and through you, we Kurds will have our Freedom!
When it comes to the Kurds, if you were to add up the total Kurdish population in both Iran and Turkey, they would outnumber the Turks in Turkey and the Persians in Iran. Furthermore, Kurdish civilization is thousands of years older than that of the Turks. In the same way, the Persians established their civilization and history on the bedrock of Kurdish history.
Turkey’s current map was set post-WWI, followed by a campaign to claim the region’s music and culture. Arriving early as nomadic waves and Abbasid/Ayyubid soldiers, even their flag isn’t original—as seen on these ancient Roman coins. #History#TurkeyWatch
Before modern nation-states, Kurdish women were noted for their freedom—a trait documented by G.E. Hubbard (1914). Since the redrawing of the regional map, neighboring state cultures have significantly altered these traditional social characteristics. #WomensDay#WomensDay2026
Before the Turks arrived in modern Turkey, Matthew of Edessa (1070-1144) recorded the 1031 Kurdish-Arab struggle. When the commander Baye'l was besieged, he sent word: "I and all Kurdistan are in dire straits." Kurdish history was manipulated by 20th-century colonial powers.
On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and leadership of women in the Kurdistan Region and around the world. Kurdish women have long played a vital role in shaping our society, and their contributions continue to inspire future generations. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD
@JeffSempleGN I applaud your reporting today on the Iran war and #Kurdish issue. In all our Canadian broadcasts you were the only one reporting truth and described #Kurds#Kurdistan and Turkey's real opinion and policy about #Kurds
Kurdistan has always been the graveyard of fascists. Empires, dictators and occupiers have come and gone. Our freedom is not a question of IF- only WHEN! We continue to say “No to the Mullahs, No to the Shah!” We have the right to self determination!!
I have direct contact with family & colleagues in Iraqi Kurdistan & can affirm that Iraqi Kurds did NOT launch a ground offensive
These unverified information in such a sensitive context can cause serious misunderstandings with real consequences for the safety of the population
