@KatyaSedgwick Florida and Southern California, as well as Puerto Rico, I see them now and again. In a supermarket in Mexico, I asked the woman in the bakery department why she was masked up. Was it an order from management? Yes. 🤷🏼♂️
The Arabic text in the video reads: "The Yazidi Kingdom of Urartu." It explains that the Kingdom of Urartu emerged in the region around Lake Van after the principalities of Nairi and Hurrian tribes united to form a powerful state. The text also states that Urartu is referred to as "Ararat" in the Torah and that its capital was Van.
The video reflects the perspective of many Yazidis who regard Urartu as an important part of their ancient heritage and identity. While historians continue to debate the exact historical relationship between Urartu and the Yazidis, the region around Lake Van and ancient Urartu holds deep cultural and historical significance for many Yazidis.
Der 3. August ist kein Tag wie jeder andere. Es ist der Jahrestag, an dem die Welt für unser Volk für immer eine andere wurde.
Während viele heute zusammenkommen, um gemeinsam zu gedenken und sich gegenseitig Halt zu geben, ist mein Weg ein anderer: Ich verkrieche mich in mein Büro. Ich ziehe die Wände hoch und möchte heute niemanden sehen oder sprechen.
Der Schmerz über den Genozid sitzt tief, und er bricht sich bei jedem Menschen anders Bahn. Manche brauchen das Kollektiv, den Austausch, die gemeinsame Stimme.
Ich brauche heute die Rückzugshöhle, die Arbeit und die Stille, um nicht den Boden unter den Füßen zu verlieren.
For me as a Yezidi, every single terrorist attack reopens the unhealed trauma of genocide.
You have no idea what that feels like. And I have come to a painful realization: it is never going to stop.
When my grandfather told me stories about the historical genocides against the Yezidis when I was a little child, I looked at him with absolute certainty and said: "Grandpa, that’s all in the past. Things like that don’t happen anymore, and we are safe in Germany now."
I felt so protected here. I simply couldn't comprehend that such hatred could still exist.
Then came September 11, 2001. The shock cut deep.
On August 14, 2007, the devastating Sinjar bombings followed. Four coordinated explosions tore through the Yezidi villages of Til Ezer (al-Qahtaniyya) and Siba Sheikh Khidir (al-Jazirah). 796 people were murdered; 1,562 were wounded. It was Al-Qaeda—targeting a defenseless minority solely to erase us.
Only then did I slowly begin to understand what my grandfather meant. But I wanted to push it away. I clung to the belief: In Germany, you are safe.
2014 was my final, brutal awakening.
I realized: Out there are people who hate you and want to eradicate your entire community simply because their fanatical ideology demands it—even though you have done nothing to them.
The peaceful world of my childhood in Germany was stripped away. Only memories remain.
Today, I stand where my ancestors have stood for centuries: right in the crosshairs of Jihadism. And since 2014, it has been an endless loop.

@KatyaSedgwick And just more hope and change talk that made a lot of things worse on a national scale when another pretentious leader sold us this flowering generality.
@RonaiChaker Was hälst du vom Hausunterricht (homeschooling)? Das haben wir für unsere Kinder in Puerto Rico gewählt. Ich habe gelesen, daß es derzeit illegal in Deutschland ist.
