The British newspaper,
the Sunday Telegraph, has claimed Israel can strike
Iran's nuclear plants by utilizing airports in
South-Kurdistan [Iraqi].
The paper wrote, with the possibility of a massive
air strike against the nuclear plants that have been
established throughout the country; Israeli planes
would not, however, operate an effective air
campaign if launched from Israel. Therefore, the
Sunday Telegraph claimed, in any air operation,
Israel would utilize airports in the Kurdish cities
Erbil and Suleymaniyah and highlighted these
airports are suitable for night landings.
Noting the Tehran administration is very anxious
about Israel's presence in Iraqi Kurdistan, the
Sunday Telegraph reported the Iranian Revolution
Guards commanders who died in a plane crash last
week had been preparing to attack Israeli targets in
Iraq.
Newspapers like the Arabic newspaper Al Jazeera,
Turkish media and journalists like Seymour Hersh
closely followed the ties between the Kurds and
Israeli government.
But when there were reports about Israel training
Kurds in Kurdistan, the Kurdish government was quick
to deny. Also the Israeli ministry made it clear
they were "innocent". Despite these official
reactions, the reports keep on flowing. Last year
Barzani's request to open an Israeli embassy in
Kurdistan didn’t surprise the Arabic colleagues of
Barzani.
The Pro-Israel online Blog IsraPundit keeps posting
positive remarks about Kurds. Which indicates the
Israeli public opinion seems to favour the Kurds
more and more.
But the majority of the Kurds doesn’t seem to care
about reports about Israeli-Kurdish ties. Frankly
they enjoy these kinds of reports. "I hate the
Arabs, and I love the Israelis. Most of Palestine
belongs to the Israelis. I think they deserve all of
the land from the Mediterranean to Saudi Arabia.
Maybe someday Israel and Kurdistan will be
neighbours," said Bradost Hamou, a Syrian Kurd who
sneaked out of his country last year to attend the
University of Sulaimanyiah.
