To all my Kurdish friends:
———————————-
Kurds carry a long and difficult history. For generations, Kurdish communities have experienced shifting alliances, broken promises, and political pressure from powerful states and global actors. Because of this history, distrust toward outsiders is understandable. It did not appear without reason.
When people repeatedly experience abandonment or suppression, caution becomes natural. Many Kurds learned from history that international support can sometimes be temporary and shaped by changing geopolitical interests. This experience has deeply influenced how many Kurds view the world and outside actors.
At the same time, an important question is worth considering: should every non-Kurdish voice automatically be seen with suspicion? History has produced many disappointments, but it has also produced people from different backgrounds who sincerely support Kurdish rights and dignity.
Support for Kurdish cultural rights, political recognition, and human dignity is not limited to one ethnicity. Principles such as justice, freedom, and respect for identity can be shared by people regardless of where they come from.
Sometimes, the strongest allies are not defined by ethnicity but by their consistency. People who speak honestly, defend principles even when it is unpopular, and respect Kurdish identity may deserve to be judged by their actions rather than their background.
Healthy skepticism is understandable, but absolute distrust toward everyone outside the Kurdish community may unintentionally isolate the Kurdish cause from potential allies who genuinely respect and support Kurdish aspirations.
History shows that many struggles for recognition and rights gained international understanding when people from different backgrounds were willing to listen, learn, and stand for the same principles.
The Kurdish story is one of resilience, survival, and a strong cultural identity despite immense challenges. That story deserves to be heard, respected, and supported by the broader world.
Perhaps the most powerful approach is not to trust blindly, but also not to reject everyone automatically. Careful judgment, open dialogue, and evaluating people by their principles may create stronger and more reliable friendships.
Mutual respect and honest dialogue can build something stronger than suspicion alone: a broader community of people who value Kurdish dignity, culture, and rights as part of a shared commitment to justice and human dignity.
@oz444585727@hafezeh_tarikhi@fresh_sadegh@fresh_sadegh blocked me years ago after I confronted her about the propaganda and misinformation she was spreading. She is a clear example of a mouthpiece for the Islamic regime.
She was so incompetent that @AJEnglish eventually let her go.
