Students in Al-Hasakah, Rojava -Kurdistan, held a protest outside the Directorate of Education, chanting the Kurdish national anthem “Ey Reqîb” and demanding the right to study in their mother tongue, Kurdish.
Although Tom Barrack is formally the US ambassador to Turkey, he often sounds more like Turkey’s representative in Washington.
But the problem goes beyond his political posture: he appears to lack even basic knowledge of the region he represents.
He says: “All the prophets were sent to this region. Not to the Caribbean, not to South America, not to North America, not to Australia, not to China. If even God couldn’t solve it, if even the prophets couldn’t solve it, the idea that we can solve it in the next year and a half is probably very slim.”
This is a profoundly reductive view of one of the most consequential regions in human history—the land of the Agricultural Revolution, the domestication of plants and animals, the emergence of cities and states, the invention of writing, the wheel, and some of humanity’s earliest maps.
To reduce this region to a perpetual “problem” that even God and the prophets could not solve is not merely ignorant; it reveals a deeply distorted understanding of its history.
Tom Barrack may be one of the most ignorant and compromised political figures the United States has ever produced.

Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.
In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.
This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.
Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.
America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

If yes, it means your government joined in the nomination of Iran to a UN committee dealing with women's rights and terrorism prevention.
Your MP should formally ask the government to answer why they did such a terrible thing.
טורקיה, שכבשה את צפון קפריסין ושולטת בשטחים כורדים במזרח,
מעזה ללמד אותנו מוסר.
טורקיה, שבנתה את כלכלתה על רצח העם הארמני,
מעזה להאשים אותנו ברצח עם.
טורקיה, שאוכפת איסלאמיזציה בכוח הזרוע,
מעזה לדבר על זכויות אדם.
ארדואן הצבוע לא מרגש אף אחד עם הקרקס הנוכחי.
עם ישראל הורשע בהרבה "בתי משפט" לאורך ההיסטוריה.
באינקוויזיציה שפטו אותנו,
על היותנו יהודים.
כשהגבנו אחרי פוגרומים שביצעו בנו,
שפטו אותנו על היותנו חזקים מדי.
ובשואה שפטו אותנו על עצם קיומנו.
תמיד אחרי כל ״משפט״,
חזרנו חזקים יותר.
וכך יהיה גם מול הדיקטטור המגלומן בעל השאיפות האמפריליסטיות שחושב להיות סולטאן עותמאני, בזמן שאיננו יותר מאשר עריץ עלוב של מדינה עם כלכלה קורסת ודמוקרטיה מתה.
הגיע הזמן לסגור את הפרק העצוב של היחסים עם הרודן הפשיסט הזה.
מחר בישיבת הממשלה אדרוש משר החוץ ומראש הממשלה לסגור את השגרירות והקונסוליה לאלתר.
The settlers refuse to leave Serekaniye (Ras al-Ayn) because they are occupying Kurdish homes and properties.
He also says: if we leave here for al-Hasakah, it will be with our weapons (meaning we will enter it through fighting), threatening to storm it, and he is a member of the public security forces SNA.

Two months ago, the Islamic Republic slaughtered some 40,000 Iranians. They even stormed hospitals to execute the wounded.
Yesterday, the UN nominated the Islamic Republic to shape policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism.
Ghalibaf, el sanguinario comandante de la Guardia Revolucionaria Iraní que ahora presentan como "moderado", fue quien en 1999 ordenó que ataran a los estudiantes y los arrojaran desde los tejados de la Universidad de Teherán.
¿Qué delito habían cometido esos estudiantes?
Pedir libertad de expresión.
Islamic scholar in California openly claims that if a woman is captured in war, she becomes a slave and can be sexually abused, because it’s ‘halal’ and not ‘haram’ according to Sharia and the Quran.
This primitive and dangerous mentality has no place in the civilized world!
The fighter Yusuf, who was recently released, confirmed that hundreds of Kurds are still being held in the prisons of the Damascus government and the mercenaries of the so-called SNA.
He added that among them are 32 female fighters from the Women’s Protection Units.
He also stated that they were subjected to torture around the clock, in addition to constant insults and verbal abuse, and that they were given only one sandwich every 33 hours.
We call for the urgent release of our other prisoners in order to end their suffering and free them from this situation.

“I killed 900 people, and raped 50 young girls and 200 women.”
An Islamic State terrorist smiles as he proudly describes what he did to Yazidis and Christians.
This is why the people of Iran are trying to free themselves from the Islamic regime and its barbaric sharia laws.

Iran’s Islamic regime tried to pressure western countries to censor the the film “The Stoning of Soraya M.”, under the guise of Islamophobia.
The film exposes the unlawful execution of 35-year-old Soraya Manutchehri on false adultery charges.
After she refused to let her husband take a second wife, he accused her of cheating. Without evidence or legal protection, she was sentenced to capital punishment and stoned to death by hundreds of men from her village.

These people have labeled Kurds as separatists and terrorists and have contributed to incitement against Kurd, simply because Kurds are demanding their basic human rights and equal participation in political life.
At the same time, those making these accusations openly call for war, some even for the use of nuclear weapons.
Syrian Sunni Muslims call for jihad and say that after killing all the Christians, Druze, Alawites and Kurds in Syria, they are going to kill all the infidels in Europe.
Almost all of the 1 million Syrian refugees in Europe are Sunni Muslims. Terrifying.
