On May 11, 2021, Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israel’s Prime Minister, made a strong post on Twitter:
“End the occupation of Kurdistan and North Cyprus!”
Later, he added another tweet:
“The Kurds are the largest people in the world without a country — about 45 million people.
They are mostly secular and support Western values.
But their land is divided between Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria.
Why haven’t countries like France, Spain, the UK, Canada, and Germany recognized Kurdistan?”
A Message That Shows the Truth
Yair’s tweet shows something many people don’t talk about:
Many Western countries often criticize Israel, but they stay silent when it comes to the suffering of the Kurdish people.
The Kurds have been oppressed and denied freedom for decades, yet the world rarely speaks up.
Israel and the Kurds: A Long Friendship
Unlike many other countries, Israel has often shown support for the Kurdish people. This support is based on:
-
Common challenges: Both Israelis and Kurds live in tough regions, surrounded by enemies.
-
Respect: There has been quiet cooperation between Kurds and Israelis for many years.
-
Similar values: Kurds believe in democracy and freedom, just like Israel.
The World’s Double Standards
Yair pointed out how many countries say they care about human rights, but:
-
They say nothing about Kurdish suffering.
-
They support independence for some groups, but not for the Kurds.
-
They help other causes when it’s easy, but ignore the Kurdish struggle.
A Clear Question for the West
Why is it okay for the world to attack Israel for its actions,
but stay silent when:
-
Turkey bombs Kurdish areas in Iraq and Syria?
-
Iran crushes Kurdish culture?
-
Iraq refuses full Kurdish freedom?
-
Syria keeps Kurds as second-class citizens?
Time to Support Kurdistan
Yair Netanyahu’s tweet sends a strong and simple message:
If the world truly believes in justice and freedom, it should also support the Kurds.
Final Words
This is not just about politics.
This is about fairness. About freedom.
The Kurds have waited too long.
It’s time for the world to stop pretending and stand with Kurdistan.
