This is reckless and dangerous, @POTUS.
You are putting an already vulnerable population directly in harm’s way. The Kurdish people have long been targeted, and rhetoric like this hands authoritarian regimes a ready-made excuse to escalate repression.
The Kurds have been among America’s most reliable allies, from fighting alongside U.S. forces against ISIS to supporting U.S. interests across some of the most volatile regions in the world. They have paid for that alliance in blood.
You don’t repay that by implying they are funneling weapons into another country’s internal conflict. You expose them, you endanger them, and you undermine trust that has taken decades to build.
پستی در ایکس منتشر شده که مدعی است بیانیهای با امضای ۳۱۳ نفر از «کنشگران مدنی» خطاب به «سران باقیمانده جمهوری اسلامی» منتشر شده و نام من نیز در میان امضاکنندگان آمده است. من امضای چنین بیانیهای، و حتی رؤیت آن را، قویاً تکذیب میکنم.
@AbdullahMohtadi 2000 when you got out from the CPI and komala, you where 16 % of the mass members of the communist Party of Iran. You have since named your organization as Komala and that is not right
