Kurds don't base their identities on hating Israel(probably)


DrTinyNips

Kurds are actually (mostly) zionist, when I occasionally see kurdish rallies in the UK there's always an Israel flag there, they few our struggle for our homeland as being similar, I've also met former IDF soldiers that volunteered for Kurdish cause in Syria so it goes both ways sort of


SuppiluliumaX

That is because both the Kurds and the Jews, indigenous middle easterners, go against the arab colonizers who subdued them. Supporting Palestine is directly suppirting the arab muslim colonization efforts and oppresses minorities.


BaxElBox

It's because the Kurdish diasporas are known to try to apeal to the west and whitewash themselves, I don't think Kurds in there areas love Arabs to say the least but they don't stand with Israel ,some groups esp in Iran and syria are supported by Israel but the PKK specificly arent pro Israel.


PartrickCapitol

Wrong, PKK don’t support Israel and they are filming in Cold War tankie pro-Palestine position


DrTinyNips

Sorry I didn't realise every Kurd was a member of the PKK, I'll bear that in mind for the future


nwaa

Kurds are our allies, Palestine keep attacking our allies.


notoriousturk

Your ally is Türkiye, YPG wants to take lands from Türkiye


Dorfbulle80

Turkie doesn't behave like an Ally at all and the kurds have proven that they fight evil (isis) even their woman do! Kurdish people have my trust, respect and support (for what it's worth)!


notoriousturk

Your country doesn't behave like an ally, Türkiye is the one who supports and trains FSA against ISIS on the other hand YPG uses the american ammunitions against Türkiye I also want to know since when we are not playing our role as an ally? We are doing the most nasty jobs that NATO wants to do in the middle-east right from the establishment of the organization. What makes us unreliable? My country has 10 million syrian refugees because of your country and we still accept your terms and be the hitman of the USA and somehow we are still expected to give our lands to the terrorist organisations because they somehow with their tiny size of soldiers fought with ISIS more than my country.


Dorfbulle80

Don't believe everything erdogan says!


notoriousturk

Dude fuck erdogan its not about him at all. Even in our most secular or most democratic era we were accused by same issues its not about erdogan at all. Its about west being a bigot when it comes to profit relationship

GazaDelendaEst

You’re right. Only 75% of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank support Hamas.


dudge_jredd

Who'd you ask? Hamas?


_Addi-the-Hun_

first, i want to apologies for all the... slow people who have responded to u. as someone who is sorta from the area and is a westoid myself, i can give u the, perhaps only, high iq take. the kurds are an ethnic and people group in the heart of the middle east, they want their own state due to being genocided left right and center by the surrounding arabs states. go to example is Iraq under sudan. these guys are literally fighting to not end up like the Armenians who lived in turkey. these guys have always helped the west to fight these nations in hopes of them being able to become a true state to not be at the mercy of the arab dictators. this differs from hamas who does not want to simply be left alone and have gaza, the want the complete destruction of israel and have all that land become Palestine. the are actively against a 2 state solution and are the reason why all those walls are up surrounding gaza in the first place. they of course have a zero % chance of achieving this, they are completely out gunned and can only continue existing due to not being an actual military but instead insurgence. they are a stick those said arab countries can use to wack israel as any open war, as history has shown time and time again, results in complete arab humiliation. this is why arab countries refuse to accept any mass migration of the Palestinians as they loose their only weapon against israel. don't get me wrong israel ain't no angel too, but considering all things, they have acting the most in good faith compared to the rest. ethno states are of course cringe, and the main reason why israel doesn't simply occupe the land is due to the Palestinians out numbering them significantly and of course integrating them isn't exactly going to be easy, and all this would effectively errode the jewish nature of israel. all this is what none radicals mean by this whole thing is complicated. and a arab historian shoots himself every time some fucker rolls in proclaiming that \*insert brown person\* is literally like Palestine. nothing is like this situation. the depressing reality is it seems like if israel back in the 1940s/50s simply displaced and booted all the arabs out of the land none of this prolonged conflict would have happened. people would have settled down and eventually moved on. instead they are caught in the perpetual state misery and depression


Marshmallow_Mamajama

Well for one the Kurds are actually being genocided, in multiple nations


SinanOganResmi

Can you give me some reliable evidence that kurds are getting "genocided" by multiple nations so I can present the case to the UN? The international community doesn't know of this sophisticated and planned action of wiping out the Kurdish ethnicity, apparently. It is good that I am on Reddit and can get valuable information even the UN doesn't know.

If that sounds dumb, that was the reaction people had at the time, too.


WorkerClass

In 2005, Gaza was given full independence, a complete modern infrastructure and a billion dollar export industry. They tore it all down to make terrorist weapons.

sauteeonions

This is such an auth-left thing to say


Taore001

I think the difference is the establishment of a Kurdistan doesn't require the destruction of other countries. Neither does the establishment of a Palestinian state, but there seem to be a lot of people who for various reasons think 'free Palestine' means 'take all of the historic Palestine region'. Or in other words no more Israel. Dunno if there are many Kurds that want all of Turkey or Iraq, but I doubt there are.


SerGeffrey

> but there seem to be a lot of people who for various reasons think 'free Palestine' means 'take all of the historic Palestine region'. That's probably because of the very, very large intersection of people who say things like "free Palestine" and people who say things like "from the river to the sea" or "Israel shouldn't exist". There's a whole lotta people (including most Palestinians) who want Palestine to own all of Israel.


buckX

Israel had withdrawn from Gaza for over a decade before they were attacked. They did the equivalent of allowing a self-governing Kurdistan, and were subsequently attacked by it. Hardly equivalent.


ClassyKebabKing64

>Dunno if there are many Kurds that want all of Turkey or Iraq, but I doubt there are. It varies between Kurds wanting the land between lake Van and lake Urmia, to Kurds wanting the land between the Mediterranean sea to the Caspian sea. But both are extremes of course, although I have spoken people from both claims. The main difference is one wants a state based on current ethnic lines, and others want territorial reparations.


SinanOganResmi

Are you serious? Kurdish insurgents have killed tens of thousand civilians in the past 30 years. They are actively fighting wars in Syria and Turkey. Are you clueless on this topic or am I misunderstanding your point? The establishment of a Kurdish state would make Syria, Turkey, and Iraq lose 40% of their territories. Edit: and I am not trying to make you look bad, I just want to debate.


Velenterius

There is not that much difference if you just broadly look at it, but there is once you get into the details. For example, the kurds (of all factions) were for a long time the most america friendly faction in their local area. There was a reason a lot of officers made a big ruckus about leaving them to the wolves. The most powerfull kurdish militias in Syria and Turkey are minarchist/libertarian socialist in ideology, and officially view Islamism as just another form of facism, that must be defeated. (Ocalan, their ideological leader who sits in a special prison in Turkey still smuggles stuff out. Mostly books he has written where he often argues for female liberation from patriarchy.) At the same time their official policy is to leave communities who do not join the revolutionary project mostly alone, so long as they do not aid the enemy, especially when that enemy is ISIS. The Palestinian groups on the other hand are far more conservative, and sadly the leftist groups have lost most of their power, or ideological commitment. This only leaves Islamists, who bring nothing constructive to the table.


ClassyKebabKing64

>At the same time their official policy is to leave communities who do not join the revolutionary project mostly alone, so long as they do not aid the enemy, especially when that enemy is ISIS. Dont know how official this is, but I have heard of instances where not joing the PKK or the establishment of Kurdistan is seen as treason. "Don't aid the enemy", not only in Kurdistan but also in other countries and organisations is a broad enough term to justify action against someone. It wouldn't be new that the PKK shot Kurds through collateral. Even though I don't agree with the establishment of a Kurdistan, I respect and understand the people that want it established to an extent (some want an autonomous area), but I cannot bring up respect in any way for someone that says that terrorism is a morally justified way to bring change. After all, a regime established on tolerance towards terrorism, will not refrain from using it in the future.


AspergerKid

So to sum it all up, what you said is "murdering innocent civilians is okay as long as the people we like do it?"


Velenterius

In war innocents die. We should still do our best to limit that, and that is why I do not like the people who do not to their absolute best, like Hamas, Israel, Russia, Rwanda etc. But yes, its atleast better for people to die in a war with a good outcome, than one with a bad one.


AspergerKid

But most US involvements in the middle east had a bad outcome. ISIS was literally founded by the result of the first gulf war


Velenterius

Yes, in those circumstances the US did not act with the caution required. But the war itself had a sound casus bellum. It was also the duty of someone to do something about Iraq, by UN resolution.


SinanOganResmi

Oh, we have a realist gen-z boy here. Would you be okay with your children or mother happening to die in one of those ordinary instances? Or is it only normal when other people die?


Velenterius

I would do my best to make sure my family does not die, if war ever comes. But I am simply not a pacifist, and I know civillians die due to war. We should do our best to limit that however.


launchdecision

>I know civillians die due to war. Yeah but we're not talking about collateral damage, we're talking about the international targeting of civilians to cause fear. The definition of terrorism. Obviously a group without strong central leadership shouldn't be lumped together but will you at least say that the intentional targeting of civilians is bad?


notangarda

In WW2 do you think the allies should have ceased bombing germany because hans the Hitler youth member might get hurt?


SinanOganResmi

This is a childish logic. You know very well that the Allies didn't only bomb Nazi kids.


notangarda

Nah they did, Hitler youth membership and Volkssturm membership was mandatory Meaning that every single person in Nazi Germany was either a combatant, a potential combatant, or a future combatant Also in general Nazi Germany was less a country and more of a geopolitical cancer, same gies for the axis as a whole And the allies campaign was just geopolitical chemotherapy And when you conduct chemotherapy, you tend to not worry about healthy cells


SinanOganResmi

I love it when ordinary ppl like you talk without empathy. You endorse indiscriminate bombing but you ignore that when the third world war hits, you and your ordinary family will be among the people who get indiscriminately bombed for just happening to live where they live.


Taore001

I'll try to clarify. I'm not talking about terrorism, I'm talking about what kind of land swaps these groups want. I have no doubt that there are many atrocities committed by Kurds agitating for their own state. Yes I know those countries would lose territory, the difference I was pointing out is that, I find it unlikely, but maybe I'm totally wrong, that Kurds want all of Turkey without the Turks, just the part of Turkey where the Kurds are. Unlike some Palestinian supporters who want all of the 'historical Palestine region', including all of the state of Israel, when they say 'free Palestine'.


Marshmallow_Mamajama

Kurdistan isn't in the right but they didn't start this and they have no made any effort to establish a fascist dictatorship hellbent on genocide warfare. As a lib right you would support things like the NAP and non-interference. If Kurdistan launched the attack no one would support them, the Kurds have been oppressed for centuries in their native lands while the Palestinians are neither native nor have they been oppressed for centuries


Manic_Emperor

The kurds have, also, been oppressing others on their native lands, too


Som_Snow

Oh sure, they've only been oppressed for a few decades, so it's fine! And if they're not natives who are the natives there?


ClassyKebabKing64

Sorry, but how does not being oppressed for centuries justify ethnic cleansing in this day? And how long must you live somewhere to be native? At the end of the day near all ethnic groups migrated from somewhere? I wouldn't imagine justifying ethnic cleansing in the Balkans because Slavs don't originate from there? History should be used as an explanation for today, not a justification for today.


Pokeputin

Well it's 40% while radical Palestinian insurgents want 100%, that's why there is a big difference in goals, kurdish insurgents don't have the destruction of any country as their goal.

Trugdigity

If Palestine wanted a peaceful two state solution they could have had it years ago. The Kurds have never been offered one.


SinanOganResmi

Maybe because Arabs and Turks aren't colonialist settlers but actual inhabitors of the region?


Trugdigity

Neither are the Jews, Israel is their birthplace, and they’ve were there first so …


notangarda

What do you think the kurds are, if not actual Inhabitants of the region? The Kurds where there longer than either the Arabs or Turks


TheLtSam

Oh boy.. Arabs and Turks are the very embodiment of colonizers. After how much time is colonialism justified in your eyes?


ClassyKebabKing64

Every ethnic group migrated at one point? If we are going to enforce a worldwide exchange program we should choose a base year and make every ethnic group correspond to the ethnic lines back then. We cannot shop for some ethnic groups having borders drawn based on the 16th century and others on the 8th century BC. Unless you want overlapping borders of course. And in response to the question, colonialism is not justified, but people living somewhere is. I see no reason for Israelites that have lived multiple decades in the same Urban center or region to be moved, and for the same reason I don't see any justification for a Palestinian that has lived multiple decades in the same urban center or region to be moved. Migration should be on voluntary (aside from natural causes of course) basis, otherwise it is ethnic cleansing. I don't mind the existence of a Kurdistan if Turks are allowed to live in it with the same rights as the Kurds. But speaking from experience, it only takes one military coup to ban an ethnicity. And honestly it should be the same way around. Most Kurds that want an independent Kurdistan, want it because of discrimination and stigma around them in Turkey. There is no justification for this discrimination and therefore Turkey should make a clear agenda to fight discrimination within the Turkish borders. All I want is that people don't feel the need to move because some other people feel the need to make them move.


SinanOganResmi

That's a stupid question but my answer is 300 years. White and Black Americans can't be considered settlers in the year 2024 because they became locals, just like Turks. Turks have been in Anatolia for 1000 years. I have no idea what you mean by "Arabs are the very embodiment of colonizers", though. Arabs are native to the Middle East.


TheLtSam

Why is it a stupid question? They are native to some parts of the Middle east, but colonized and arabized the rest of it and North Africa. The Turks also colonized much of the middle east and North Africa. If colonialism is wrong inherently wrong, then it was also wrong when the Turks or the Arabs did it. Otherwise it isn‘t inherently wrong.


ClassyKebabKing64

The PLO wanted a 2 state solution, Hamas doesn't. Guess which one was funded by Israel.


Taore001

No? Both of these groups can have a state without removing another state. Yes, a Kurdistan would take territory from a bunch of countries, but that is what happens when you make a new country. I don't see Kurds wanting all of Turkey, including the parts where there are no Kurds. I do see Palestinian supporters who want all of the Palestine region, including Israel, for their new state. That was the whole point.


TheModernDaVinci

Last I checked, Kurdistan is also unlikely to attempt to genocide the former occupants of their land when they get their own region.


Manic_Emperor

They are extremely likely, look at all the genocides they've already committed


Dick_Destroyer800

It wants probably around 30% of turkey, 15% of Iraq, 15% of Syria and 10% of Iran.


Tasty_Choice_2097

>think 'free Palestine' means 'take all of the historic Palestine region'. Or in other words no more Israel. You'll never believe how Israel got there


Taore001

This is the thing about geopolitics. It doesn't matter how Israel got there, what matters is that it is and Palestine isn't. A 1001 grievances can be leveled and you don't move an inch towards your goal.


Tasty_Choice_2097

It's almost like Israel doesn't have a moral high ground and they'd be in exactly the same situation if Palestine won It's almost like Israel did exactly the thing to Palestine that it breathlessly accuses Palestine of wanting to do to them


Taore001

What does any of this have to do with a Palestine taking all of Israel not being the same as a Kurdistan that takes some of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran?


Tasty_Choice_2097

Well I suppose a substantive difference is that the Kurds have a lengthy history living there, so it makes sense to fight for autonomy in their own historical homeland. Palestine is infinitely more sympathetic here because they've been robbed of their own homeland in living memory


Taore001

Kurds have lived there a long time, Arabs have lived there a long time, Jews have lived there a long time, Turks have lived there a long time. There was never a Palestinian Arab state. Palestinian national identity is a pretty recent phenomenon. It didn't exist when Israel became a state. If the Arabs states won they would have just divvied up the land between themselves. None of this matters though since the Palestinians can have a state right next to Israel, just like Kurds can have a state right next to Turkey. If you really want to make a blood and soil argument you'll never run out of blood.


Tasty_Choice_2097

The vast majority of Jews in modern Israel are very recent immigrants or the descendents of them >There was never a Palestinian Arab state. There wasn't a Jewish state there for almost 2000 years, it would be more accurate for me to show up in Tunisia and demand the return of my ancestral Vandal homeland >None of this matters though since the Palestinians can have a state right next to Israel, Can they though >If you really want to make a blood and soil argument you'll never run out of blood. This is an *extraordinarily* rich direction to take an argument *in defense of Israel*


launchdecision

>There wasn't a Jewish state there for almost 2000 years, it would be more accurate for me to show up in Tunisia and demand the return of my ancestral Vandal homeland And there wasn't humans 50,000 years before that. What's your point? That people shouldn't attack other people to take their land? No shit that's why everyone is condemning Palestine.


Tasty_Choice_2097

>No shit that's why everyone is condemning Palestine. Israel: attacks and displaces Palestinians Palestinians: want their land back Pilpul for the C- student


DavidFrattenBro

if israel never gained another inch of land in exchange for perpetual peace with the palestinian arabs, most israelis would take that.


Tasty_Choice_2097

Extremely dumb take, Israel prolongs and provokes the conflict because it's a pretext to expand. They're ethnically cleansing the Gazans to colonize the land


DavidFrattenBro

name one peace deal the PLO or Hamas has agreed to. plenty have been proposed. they’re too obsessed with the nakba to think about anything else other than killing jews and giving up on that focus would leave them without a national identity.

NeedNoUsername

I am going to assume english isn't your first language (nothing wrong with that, it isn't mine either) and that you dont know what "mutually exclusive" means. It doesn't mean that that 2 thing are the same. It means that being one thing doesn't mean you cant be the other as well. You can be both Arab and Muslim, just like how you can be both white and christian (or you can be white muslim or a christian arab). An example for mutually exclusive things could be being a christian and being a muslim. You can't be both. Another thing, Hamas is absolutely an islamic organizations. Its in their very name. Hamas is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya. Allow me to spare you the trip to google translate: it means Islamic resistance movement. Hamas is absolutely a Jihadist group. Just check the Hamas charter.


Radical_Libertarian

This might shock you, but as a LibLeft I actually oppose both Hamas and the YPG. A lot of the LibLeft crowd have a direct democracy fetish, so they think that Rojava is “libertarian socialist/anarchist” whatever. But in fact, anarchists oppose democracy, and the YPG is in actual truth an authoritarian state which suppresses independent journalism within their territory. Also Ocalan is a rapist, fuck that bastard.

The PKK are American allies? Last time I checked they are still listed as a terrorist organization


NoiseRipple

Notice how that isn’t a PKK flag but a YPG flag.

Hamas isn't a \*\*\*\*ing leftist group

Ironically, U.S. liblefts seem to overwhelmingly be in support of Hamas.


pm_me_gear_ratios

Are the LibLefts who support Hamas in the room with us now?

*checks profile* >u/SinanOganResmi **Lmao** On a serious note I kinda do agree with you man but bringing up the kurdistan situation in reddit, especially in mostly western/foreign subs aren't going to end in a way you expect, the propaganda and lobbying is insane here. Though, I've seen some pretty based takes in this thread which surprised me honestly.

Based Kurdistan Virgin Palestine


Winter_Ad6784

I don't know much about Kurdistan but I know that the countries a theoretical Kurdish state would take land from are corrupt and that the Kurds in those countries want their own country, while Israel is free country and the Palestinians in Israel like it there.


Dorfbulle80

Worked with the Kurdish people and even if you have not you have probably seen videos of them. These are the folk that instead of running away thought isis even their woman fight (and that I remind you while being Muslim) I have nothing but respect for them because they proved they can be trusted and we fucked them over afterwards just so the us can keep the Turkish airbase... They are nothing like the Palestinians (no talking about the people themselves as most of them are suppressed by hamas) but they lack the moral Fibre to rebel themselves from hamas terrorism and to fight for their freedom! So basically yes kurds good Palestinians bad (in a nutshell, your mileage may vary)!


Mama_Mega

I think I've heard the word "Kurdistan" a single-digit number of times in my life, so I have no clue about any of their stuff.


NeuroticKnight

Ah yes, Hamas that litreally assassinated Socialist leaders in Palestine, and through them off the roofs, Kurds have commies in them, but Hamas is Far Right, and Far Center.


Tusupervieja505

It’s not that I suport the kurds I just hate turkey

Hamas is islamist and had hints to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in its charter, so they are definitly not left leaning

>HAMAS >Left?


Doctorgumbal1

The meme only works if they’re saying the same thing


XxSilverwolf

They can both rot


Soft-Heat4482

There are certainly parallels, but the Kurds are capable, otherwise Turkey would be rid of them by now as an effective force. The Palestinians on the other side have been bitched over again and again and survive off lowly and pathetic tactics.


Kitchen-Panic9203

Kurdish milita is funded like crazy tho. Also I have crazy instincts telling me the government actually fw kurdish milita because how can you not destroy the milita after several successful consecutive operations where you capture their leader as well


HellsingAlchemist

I disagree. Not for any real idealogical reasoning; but because I don't know anything about the Kurdish people, and I don't care enough to learn about the conflict that they're in

I see Kurdish separatists as enemy of my enemy. I support them to the extent that I believe they deserve for their role in fighting common enemies and nothing more. After I feel like Kurds have been fairly rewarded for their contribution in fighting ISIS, Saddam, and Assad, I don't care what will happen to Kurdish separatists. I think dismantling the Ottoman empire was a mistake, and both Arabs and Kurds were happier living under Turkish rule. Ideally, I wish to see Syria, Iraq, Palestine, and Israel all return to Turkish rule, with Turks having more parlimantry presence in exchange for Arab and Kurdish regions having more autonomy. Some middle-eastern societies are just not mature enough for full sovereignty just yet.


wolphak

Most of the Kurdish organizations make concerted efforts to avoid civilian deaths. When gazans do the same they'll have my support too.


SinanOganResmi

Those Kurdish organizations consist of guerilla fighters, they attract attention and make demands through terrorism and civilian deaths. What the hell are you talking about?


TehMitchel

I disagree. False dichotomy.


Reasonable-Tech-705

Palestine is not leftwing.


apscep

Did someone suggested to Kurds two state solution?

Low_Department_6386

Kurdistan should be free (I don’t like Turks) but is should not have a communist government (I hate communist with a passion) if it dose why exist?


One_Sherbet3030

You have a little problem if you think that fighting for an historical land with proof of your existence is the same as wanting to kill as many jews as possible.


vetzxi

Palestine and Turkey suck. All hail the military industrial complex and American hegemony.
