While everyone lectures Israel about borders and sovereignty, Turkish soldiers are reportedly blocking Kurdish villagers inside Iraq from returning to their own homes.
This is not in Turkey.
This is in Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan.
The Middle East is full of foreign armies, militias, terror groups, proxy forces, failed states, and displaced civilians.
But the world’s obsession remains Israel.
Hevaltiya Kurdan û Cihûyan hêvî û aştiyê ye.
Şabbat Shalom
Kurdish and Jewish friendship stands for hope and peace.
Shabbat Shalom
חברות כורדית ויהודית היא תקווה ושלום
שבת שלום
Remembering #Farhud , the 1941 Pogrom Against the Jews of Iraq and Remembering #ShlomoMansour#Oct7
💔💔💔
Baghdad, 85 years ago, June 1 and 2, 1941, frenzied rioters descended upon the homes of the Jews of Baghdad, beating them, killing and wounding them.
In those dreadful hours, 179 Jews were slaughtered: women, children, the elderly, and men, for one reason alone: they were Jews.
My great grandmother, a fierce #Kurdish
woman who managed to recuse two young Jewish women who were frightened by the Arab mobs.
Jerusalem, Oct 2024, I met Hadassah Lazar, the sister of the late Shlomo Mansour, a Farhud survivor who was abducted and murdered on Oct 7, 2023
Shlomo escaped the Iraqi Nazis only to be brutally murdered by Hamas Nazis - rest all in eternal peace and harmony 🙏
Kurdish Jewish dance in Israel during the 1960s.
The oldest Jewish diaspora community: Kurdish Jews. Exiled to modern-day Kurdistan in the 8th century BC—as recorded in the Old Testament and Assyrian archives—many eventually returned to Israel. This footage shows Kurdish Jews in Israel preserving their traditional songs and dances, performed in Kurdish.
The term “Kurdish Jew” is historical and well documented in historical records. Even around 500 years ago, some Kurdish Jews carried the nisba “al-Kurdi” (“the Kurd”) as part of their names, as seen in Cairo Geniza documents.

הן עזבו את איראן, הקימו מחתרת – והמסר שלהן לישראל חד וברור: "תתקפו כמה שאתם יכולים". במיקום סודי בצפון עיראק @itaianghel פגש את לוחמות PAK - המחתרת שפועלות לשחרור המשטר. הנה הקטע מהסרט ששידרנו הערב:
@JehuditW
What an honour and privilege to meet @itaianghel in person. An absolute legend who dedicated himself to take the plight of #Kurds and #Kurdistan to the world.
Itai latest documentary "The woman wanted by Iran" is about Kurdish freedom fighters - to do this film he had to go the Kurdish region in Iraq and then to the Kurdish region in Iran.
I extend my sincere gratitude to him and his team for their courage to produce such daring documentary, and taking dangerous risks to bring the #Kurdish Struggle to Israeli and International audiences ❤️🫡

Report: Israel established a secret base in Iraq ahead of the war with Iran.
In an effort to shorten the route to Iran, Israel reportedly set up a covert outpost in the Iraqi desert that served as a “logistics hub” and a base for Israeli Air Force units.
Iraqi forces that distanced themselves from Iranian influence in recent years reportedly cooperated, but did not take part in the attacks.

Today is the #Holocaust Remembrance Day in where 6 millions Jews were killed by the Nazis because they were Jews.
Today also is the Remembrance Day for the #AnfalGenocide victims, 38 years ago more than 182,000 #Kurds were killed by the Fascist Arab forces of the late dictator Saddam Hussein.
Both the Jews and the Kurds had committed no crime other than their refusal to stop being Jews or Kurds.
Six million Jews and 182,000 Kurds are not just numbers - They were children, families, young men and women, elderly people, who hatred annihilated them and their dreams. Amen, they are all resting in eternal peace and harmony 🙏
May God Bless the Jewish and the Kurdish people

Israel under my leadership will continue to fight Iran’s terror regime and its proxies, unlike Erdogan who accommodates them and massacred his own Kurdish citizens.
