The Kurds helped us defeat ISIS and now they’re going to go toe to toe with the IRGC. They deserve a state.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

Today, @SenBlumenthal and I introduced the Save the Kurds Act.

I believe that there is strong bipartisan support for the idea of protecting the Kurds in Syria and beyond because they have been such a reliable ally to the United States. The SDF – with a large Kurdish element – took the brunt of the fight to defeat ISIS in President Trump’s first term.

I realize Syria is complicated culturally, ethnically and politically. However, attacking the Kurds greatly diminishes the United States’ standing and will hinder Syria’s ability to grow as a country.

To those countries or groups who believe it is open season on the Kurds in Syria without consequence, you will be sadly mistaken.

This need to be said louder.

The Kurds lost 11,000 lives, you cant reverse a policy after a phone call with Erdogan.

What country will trust the word of the United States? 🇺🇸

[Yehuda Ben Yosef @yby4040]

This collection of documented war crimes, as reported and verified through open media sources, represents only a small sample of a broader and systematic pattern of abuses committed directly against the Kurdish people by the Syrian transitional government and its affiliated armed forces.

These acts constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. The international community must recognize these crimes, abandon silence and indifference, and confront the severe and ongoing suffering of the Kurdish people—who seek nothing more than their basic political, civil, and human rights, equal to those of all peoples around the world.

[Ukraine News 🇺🇦 @Ukrainene]

Trump states: 'I ended wars everywhere, but I won’t stop the Kurdish genocide because I planned it.' Influenced by millions from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and following Erdogan’s lead, Trump has led the #Kurds toward a massacre and ethnic cleansing.

#Trump #ISIS #Erdogan #Syria

[Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn @GunterFehlinger]

I do not trust Syrian IS leader @AH_AlSharaa
He makes a offer for rights of Kurds in Syria while killing @SDF_Syria
There is no peaceful Federal Syria
There is no security for Kurds now
I call for independence of Eastern Syria #Rojava @aanes__official https://t.co/8dTJjCoov6

[David Harris @DavidHarrisNY]

In other words, in plain English:

We're selling out the #Kurds in Syria, as we have elsewhere in the region.

We no longer need Kurds as reliable allies.

Instead, we're placing our bet on what we pray are "reformed" jihadists.

I stand with the Kurds.

Always have. Always will.

[Laura Cellier @Laura_L_Cellier]

Oh come off it…..name one Kurdish leader who got rich off US backing and oil?! Hardly Palestinian levels of corruption 😂
They kept their territory stable and peaceful and relatively representative (no mean feat in this part of the world)
You betrayed them. Just own it.

[Safa Barzani @SafaanwarB]

After sending #money and collecting aid for them in #Kurdistan, #Palestinians in #Gaza are now celebrating the killing of hundreds of #Kurds in #Syria. This is why we are under #attack every time—because we fail to recognize our #enemies.

[Haks ☀️ @iAmHaks]

SHARE THIS VIDEO. BILAV BIKIN. DEFEND KURDISTAN. DEFEND ROJAVA.

[Yair Netanyahu🇮🇱 @YairNetanyahu]

Turkey committed genocides against the Greek and Armenian Christians in Anatolia. Today, it is committing genocide against the Kurds and occupying their land. It also occupies half of Cyprus, a Christian EU member state.
The Turkish people are of Central Asian origin. The original inhabitants of Anatolia and Constantinople were Christian Greeks, before they were subjected to genocide by the Turks.
Free Kurdistan!

[Lilly Jaff @JaffLilly]

My forgiveness is always free but my trust doesn't exist anymore.

[Lilly Jaff @JaffLilly]

There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.

Someone asked me
"how are you so calm, like nothing bothers you?"
I replied "because everything i was afraid of happening... happened."
