The Kurds of Iraq and Israel admit nothing, but
rumors are circulating that Israel is training the
Kurds to be anti-terrorist commandos.
It is a natural alliance, one that took substance
before. The Kurds are a non-Arab, Sunni minority
whom the Arabs of Iraq and Syria, Iran and Turkey
split up control separately instead of letting them
have a state in their homeland area.
The rumors are that in return for their training,
Kurdish commandos gather intelligence about Iran and
Syria for Israel. It is said that the Kurds monitor
Iranian nuclear facilities. |

As my
source put it, “The Kurds, whose country is
currently occupied by Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria,
have reportedly been accepting Israeli assistance in
their fight for independence, as they did many years
ago.” (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/, 2/5).
The Kurds fought for independence from Iraq, Iran,
and Turkey. Against Turkey, some Kurds committed
terrorism. It is going too far to call their
“country” “occupied.” What country? It would be
sufficient to suggest that the 40 million Kurds are
a separate nationality for whom a case can be made
for self-determination. This is in contrast with the
Palestinian Arabs,www.ekurd.netwho
are not a separate nationality and for whom no case
has been made for self-determination, only asserted,
and who in any case have a state of their own in
Palestine, called Jordan.
Winston Mideast Commentary and Analysis has a
general admonnition about Western trianing of Muslim
allies. If not careful about who is recruiedt, the
West train people who turn on them, as did the
Mujahadeen of Afghanistan. The next likely
candidates to make trouble are the Palestinian
Authority troops trained by the U.S. and others.
