Leftists Indifferent to Human Rights Abuses against Kurds

The Left pretends to get all upset because "Palestinians" are "occupied". But they have never heard of the occupation of the Kurds by Syria's fascist regime. Or worse, as part of their pro-Syria manifestations of infantile anti-Americanism, they actually endorse the Syrian oppressors.

Ironically, even Amnesty International has spoken out against the mistreatment by Syria of Kurds. Human rights abuses against Kurds there are common. Other forms of repression are widespread.

Moreover Kurds have claims to the right to self-determination that are at least a hundred times more legitimate than those of "Palestinians". After all, there are already 22 Arab countries, and the PLO areas almost comprise a 23rd. The Kurds do not have ANY state at all. SO why should they not be FAR more entitled to their own state than random groups of Arabs? "Palestinians" have about as legitimate a claim to a right to having their own state as do Detroit Arabs or the Sudeten Germans. And the Kurds have not conducted a century of terrorist atrocities against civilians, unlike the Palestinians.

SO why nary a word from our leftist brethren about the oppression of Kurds and their need for self-determination? Why? Well, maybe it has a little to do with the fact that giving the Kurds their own state would not help achieve the leftist goal of a second Holocaust of Jews....
