#KURDS

[autisticexpression2]

Seeing a lot of posts about the Palestinian flag, and it got me thinking about indigenous flags around the world.

Māori:

Kalaallit Nunaat:

Haudenosaunee

Nunatsiavut:

Australian Aboriginal:

Torres Strait Islands:

Rapa Nui:

Kurdistan:

Sami:

Ainu:

Of course, these are just a handful. May they all reclaim their stolen lands.

This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔

What is happening in Syria to the alawites and Christians is horrific.

For a so called " peaceful religion " they sure aren't peaceful .not even on Ramadan.

This is what TRUE genocide looks like.

Please 🙏 for the Christians , alawites,druze , and Kurds .

Where are the protestors for this ?

Why the silence ?

Silence does say something!

it is imp to remember that this is not about religion and the ethnic cleansing of artsakh proves this. all oppressive regimes are connected regardless of religion and that is why azerbaijan and israel have good relations. another example is saudi arabia having good relations with america and israel while also killing other muslims in yemen.

interestingly, like israel, saudi also uses religion to gain credibility (recently got holy mosque imam to give statement condemning boycotts and encouraging muslims to not be involved in the situation in palestine) and recruit muslim supporters from all over the world, while simultaneously killing/imprisoning muslim critics of the kingdom.

similarly, israel sells itself as a safe haven for jews and convinces jews around the world to migrate to israel while also simultaneously criminalizing antizionist jews all over the world, even suggesting that theyre not 'real jews' (reminiscent of takfirism which is a core part of saudi wahabi ideology) [ fun fact: the house of saud came into power in arabia with help from the british, just like the zionists in palestine! ]

oppressive regimes are directly connected and mirror each other in several ways. this is why liberation and resistance movements need to unite and work together across the world

I swear some reporters just love terrorist groups.

For context, below is a map of Syria. Highlighted is the Euphrates river. Everything to the right of the river has been under de facto Kurdish political and military control for years. (The Syrian Democratic Forces are a majority Kurdish militant group and key US ally against ISIS.)

Yesterday HTS in Syria held its first summit to draft a new constitution. It did not invite a single representative of the Syrian Democratic Forces to the summit.

Now, this is the headline on the summit from Reuters:

Syrians back freedoms, constitutional process at landmark dialogue

You cannot pretend to be engaging in good-faith discussion about building a new unified, democratic state while simultaneously refusing to engage with the only consistently democratic region of Syria. The only region in Syria where women play a real role in all levels of politics and military operations.

And here's the headline from Reuters from the day before:

Syria to hold dialogue conference amid criticism over inclusivity

Like the forgot to consult with their fucking DEI department instead of like- you know- didn't invite the half of the country that's democratic and free because they're still at war with them?

Last month I made a post about how I believed the "left" would turn on Muslims the nano second people stopped caring about the Palestinian people and I was wrong, it happened when the Syrian people rid themselves of a brutal dictator.

The "left" is so fucking infuriating like they look at Gaza and rightfully say "this is awful and needs to stop" but then looks at Syria and goes "well Assad likes the Palestinians so this is bad" like WHAT???.

Assad and his family murdered thousands of Syrian Palestinians and gassed their own people, like aren't we supposed to support people in taking back their own freedom. What happened to the leftist supporting Rojava and a Syria free from Assad, where did they go cause we need those people back.

And then the critzeism of HTS, SNA and surprisingly the SDF once people realized that the U.S backed them, like obviously trusting a former Al-Qaeda guy is difficult for most and impossible for others alongside a Turkish backed group which is a state hellbent on the genocide of the Kurdish people.

These people aren't saying that they don't trust them their just calling them all rebels (at times including the Kurds) ISIS, this whole time as just reminded me when Russian invaded into Ukraine and these same "leftists" started going full Russian and viewing them as some anti imperialist force and it's truly just obvious to me that these people aren't even on the left in any sort of way but are just opportunists who view anything america or it's allies to bad and everything else as good.

"Muslims think it's only wrong for them to be harmed ,however others harmed by Muslims is an act of heroism"

I couldn't have said it better myself !

Real genocide is happening in Syria

The alawites who supported Hamas at the beginning of the war are now turning to Israel.

The world has shut itself off from this .

There is no outrage

There are no protests on college campuses

Radio silence 🤐

All their focus is on Israel and the " fake " war crimes they said Israel committed.

The new definition of war crimes : defending yourself !

How dare Israel defend themselves against being invaded , its people murdered and taken hostage.

Outrage over a " fake "genocide in Gaza while their is an actual real one going on in Syria and the world says nothing .

I am tired 😔
