This controversy about the Kurds has nothing whatever to do with Jews or Israel. Ayelet Shaked is remiss in making public statements in regard to Israeli support for the Kurds.
Certain Western powers made certain promises for certain favors in the past and that's between them and the Kurdish people. The Kurds are ethnically Persian and religiously Muslims. The PKK wants their new country to be Marxist. None of this has any connection whatever to us.
So, please stop playing their game of "Pick-a-Side." Israel stands alone and apart with HKB"H!
You are absolutely right. I should probably watch this video, too. I want to make sure I wasn't too nice about them here: Kurdistan.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I found interesting about the Kurds was the map (embedded in the above link) from a Kurdish professor. It shows the map he believes should be Kurdistan, and it does not appear to conflict with the borders of a hopefully, future Land of Israel.
Agree, though what to make of claims Jews and Kurds are genetically related?
ReplyDeleteAdditionally Esser Agaroth is correct to point out Kurdish territorial goals curiously do not appear to conflict with the hopefully soon to be complete future Land of Israel.

I did not find anything like that. On the contrary, apparently they fight together against ISIS. The Yazidis sound more like a possible lost tribe of Israelites than the Kurds do...10 Facts - Who are the Yazidis?
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to make out the Kurdish position, on the one hand it seems they do appear to have some historical ties to the Jewish people even before Helena of Adiabene converted to Judaism, yet at the same time there must have been a reason to explain why they have not merited a state of their own since (hence the potential reprehensible actions).
ReplyDeleteInterestingly it is said many Muslim Kurds were actually Yazidis before they converted to Islam (with the latter revolting against the Caliphate as early as 838–841 under Mir Jafar Dasni), while others claim both are different groups.
Somewhat unrelated though another ethnoreligious group with possible Jewish origins would be the gnostic Mandaeans (who are curiously both anti-Jewish as well as anti-Xian).
Judaism Supports Nationhood and Borders
ReplyDeleteJust read the ten facts you highlighted above. Sounds like there is absolutely no connection to our people, the ancient Israelites. They sound as if they might have been from a tribe of sun, moon and heavenly worshippers. There are quite a few of these types of peoples and religions today all stemming from all the avoda zoras of ancient times. They probably are an offshoot of the Kurds.
ReplyDeleteI found their obsession to maintain a separate identity compelling - no intermarriage, etc. But, I'm sure you must be right.
DeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt that the Kurds are the closest genetic relatives to the Jews. That doesn't mean they are Jewish, but they are still our closest biological relationship. Abraham's family was almost certainly Kurdish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Jews
ReplyDeleteThere is also the following link to consider on Andrew Bostom's site, who also wrote The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History (that deals with what Jews went through under Islamic rule including even under the Kurds).

Remember I said smokescreens? Everything that's going on for the mass convincing is being said. The bottom line is that - regardless of whatever is being dropped in the media -the end result will be US troops in Saudia. And you just know it's a hop, skip and a jump from there to Jerusalem.
ReplyDeleteUS plans to send thousands more troops to Saudi Arabia

Pentagon sources reveal that a large number of additional troops, possibly thousands, are to be sent to Saudi Arabia, following the Sept.14 attack on its oil facilities attributed to an Iranian cruise missile-drone attack. No official comment has come from the Pentagon. DEBKAfile: Washington is reassessing its military deployment in the Gulf region, including the role of its aircraft carriers, in the wake of that attack. (Debkafile)
"Jews and Kurds are genetically related?" This is like the other DNA claims of being Jewish that count for nothing. https://www.timesofisrael.com/rabbinate-dna-tests-seek-jewishness-in-the-blood-become-a-bone-of-contention/
ReplyDeleteThe key question is "Is your Mother Jewish or have you had a Kosher Torah Conversion and who can verify it?" Everything else in a lie without proof. For example with the Russian Jew without documentation, what about a Beit Din Conversion. The First Question the Beit Din will ask is "Will you keep the Mitzvot?" The reason why the conversion process is so long is that the Rabbinate need to verify that you will keep the Mitzvot.
