I don't oppose the butchery in Gaza because I love Hamas or hate Jews or love Islam or hate America.
I don't oppose the butchery in Gaza because I'm a lefty or a commie or an anarchist or an anti-imperialist.
I oppose the butchery in Gaza because I'm not a fucking psychopath.
Opposing Israel's butchery in Gaza is so obvious, so common sense, such a bare-minimum, fundamental-level, Being Human 101 position that if it isn't immediately self-evident to you after learning the basic facts, your problem is much, much deeper than whatever ideology or bias or prejudice you might happen to have. There's something wrong with you as a person.
If you support Israel's butchery in Gaza, you've got much bigger problems than merely not having the correct ist or ism belief system. You're just all fucked up inside. Your conditioning has made you into a generally shitty human being. You have deep and immensely consequential flaws in your character, and you won't mature as a person until you heal and transcend them.
From bringing clean energy to villages, to building the region’s first fully sustainable mosque, to establishing care for neurodiverse children, to combating climate change through reforestation and beyond, the work of @RwangaFdn spans the issues that shape lives and futures.
The founder and president, Idris Nechirvan Barzani, met with the foundation’s executive team to chart the path ahead.

The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) on Monday marked the 51st anniversary of its founding, commemorating more than five decades as a pivotal force in the Kurdish national movement.
Established on June 1, 1975, in Damascus, Syria, the party emerged from the collapse of the September Revolution to revive Kurdish political agency during a period of deep disillusionment.

Kurdistani Diaspora Confederation Hosts Vibrant Kurdish Summer Festival in Velp, Netherlands
Beautiful moments from the spectacular Kurdish Summer Festival organized by the Kurdistani Diaspora Confederation (KDC) in the scenic city of Velp, right on the border between Germany and the Netherlands.
Designed to celebrate and promote the rich heritage of Kurdistan, the cultural festival brought together hundreds of diaspora families from across Europe.
The lively event featured a stunning showcase of traditional Kurdish clothing, authentic Kurdish cuisine, poetry readings, and vibrant stalls showcasing unique Kurdish crafts, goods, and handmade jewelry.
These were gifted to me straight from Iran months ago and I finally remembered to try them. I love sohan and will happily eat gaz – even the chocolat covered pieces most self-respecting Iranians seem to refuse –, but this ratio of not enough sohan to too much gaz just ain't it.
Is anyone planning to fly to Vienna out of Erbil within the next five weeks and would be willing to take little Zaytuna? She's fully vaccinated, has a passport and a family waiting for her. All travel costs will be covered. PM me if you may be able to help.
Die 67 Jährige Mutter von #KosarFattahi, einer hochrangigen Vertreterin der #kurdischen#KomalaPartei, wurde vor zwei Wochen gewaltsam festgenommen. Seitdem gibt es keine Info über ihren Zustand. Das Regime nutzt unmenschliche Methoden, um politische #Aktivisten zu verstummen.
Es waren vier, noch Säuglinge. Ich habe noch nie ein Fundtier irgendwo abgegeben, ohne dass ich genau wusste, was der Plan und die Prognose für es waren. Und hier hat eine gesamte Nachbarschaft und ein ganzer Zug Feuerwehrleute es nicht hinbekommen, eine einzige Frage zu stellen?
🦝😢 Die Feuerwehr Solingen hat drei Waschbären von einem Dach gerettet. Die Tiere wurden im Anschluss von der Jagdaufsicht getötet. Auch wenn der Landesjagdverband NRW das Gegenteil behauptet, ist eine Tötung weder durch die EU-Verordnung vorgegeben noch zwingend erforderlich.
Don't be ridiculous. Dressing appropriately in a place of worship is basic courtesy. And insinuating that @AOC is incapable of independent thought and needs a man to tell her what to do is a rather curious brand of feminism.
This reminds me that I've known about a then brand-new Kurdish baklava spot in Bonn for about two years and still have not managed to sample the goods. I guess a research trip is in order.
Celebrated as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, the historic city of Dilok (Gaziantep) in Northern Kurdistan has scaled up its famous baklava production to historic levels for the Eid holiday.

As Turkey enters its second century, an Istanbul conference asks a question the Republic has long postponed: can democratization mean more than elections, and include equal citizenship, women’s rights, the Kurdish issue, and social justice?
