Hmm

As Israeli agents flood Kurdistan with arms and ill intent, Professor Schroeder's thesis acquires another surprising element: it would be the first instance that I know of where a superpower, after fighting a proxy war on behalf of a pipsqueak client, is kicked directly in the teeth by its ingrate of an "ally."

Justin Raimondo

Well at least somebody is taking the side of the Kurds, even if it's somebody Americans like Mr. Raimondo aren't all that thrilled with these days. And perhaps not without some reason.

There is one enormous difference between the terrorism of the founders of Israel and that of the Palestinians. The Brits had a home to go back to; the Israelis do not. Even if there is a moral equivalence, there is no strategic one.

And who are these so-called Palestinian Arabs anyway? Are they not largely descended from the Palestinian Jews of Roman times, who were permitted to remain on the land because they had been excluded from the Synagogue as Christians or suspected Christians?
