Trump said the Kurds fight hard only when they are paid. It is an ugly lie, and not a new one. Before it came the old slander about oil money, the claim that the Kurds enriched themselves from Syria’s ruin. That accusation now circulates among those who want what remains of Kurdish autonomy broken and humiliated, cast as a thief living off stolen oil. Even some Kurdish nationalists repeat it, attacking the Rojava project for spending Kurdish blood to liberate Arab-majority areas while failing to secure Kurdish rights first.
That is me in the top picture with the international battalion after a night operation near Raqqa. We had pushed the line forward a few hundred meters. By morning we were eating soggy fries and stale fried chicken. Our breakfast, lunch and dinner. During those days, we were paid monthly the Syrian-pound equivalent of one hundred dollars. Half went back into the common treasury to buy what the battalion needed and logistics could not provide. What remained went to small necessities, usually phone credit, because transnational volunteers at war spend what little they have to hear the voices of home.
That was the wage for an SDF fighter, regardless of rank, ethnicity, or religion. It was meager even by Syrian standards. But the Kurdish cadres were paid nothing. That is the part men like Trump do not know, or do not care to know. The cadres were the spine of the whole thing: the most disciplined, the most capable, the least concerned with themselves. When the Raqqa offensive stalled, they were the ones sent in to do the work others could not do. The women of the YPJ were mostly cadres too. Meaning they took an oath for life: no family, no romance, no wage. They gave up the ordinary shape of life and turned themselves toward one end only, the liberation of their land and, through that struggle, the liberation of the oppressed.
So let anyone criticize the movement for its failures. There are failures enough, contradictions enough, and no shortage of reasons to argue with it. But let no one repeat this cheap lie that the Kurds fought only for money. Not in Syria. Mazloum Abdi does not even own a bank account. What he has is his rifle and the clothes on his back. The same was true of much of the cadre leadership. There are many things one may say against them. That they fought for riches is not one of them.

A Kurdish mother finally received the remains of her son, executed by the Iranian regime, after 40 years of struggle. Carrying decades of grief, she turned her pain into dignity, placing his skull on her head like a crown. A mother’s love does not fade with timeit resists, remembers, and refuses to be silenced.
