I am much more impressed by Sherkoh Abbas, who
is a leading figure in the Kurdish national
movement, than I am with the usual well-intentioned
but politically useless letters with signatures of
the famous or wannabe famous, sent by Jewish
organizers to leading politicians, beseeching this
or that piece of good think.
Mr Abbas recently has called on Israel to assist the
Kurdish nation in breaking up Syria into separate
ethnically-feclined regions, which, of course, would
markedly assist the Kurds in established their own
long-sought state. All this was reported by Jonathan
Spyer last month in the Jerusalem Post. Here's the

Yes indeed, making points against Obama with
mostly-Republican and mostly-rightwing people like
me in the USA is heart-warming. But it is far more
in Israel's national interests to build up
independent and potentially powerful national
entities such as Azerbaijan and Kurdistan that are
located in the environs of Iran. If I must pick and
choose between siding with the Armenians as opposed
to siding with the Azerbaijanis, I always will side
with Azerbaijan. As for Kurdistan, they very likely
will be the best regional Middle East ally that
Israel could ever acquire.
Expand Kurdistan and at once Iraq, Iran, Turkey and
Syria are all shrunken and weakened. Yes indeed, the
Kurds are Sun'a Muslims. But the Arabs, Sun'a or
Shi'a, are among their long-standing and probably
permanent enemies. And for them as well as for us,
the enemy of my enemy truly and naturally is my
friend. Besides which, the Kurds, mountaineers to
the core of their being, are among the toughest
fighters of the Middle East.
So, how hints do you need, Israel, to go after the
sturdy allies available -- right in the heart of the
Middle East -- and forget about pimping for somebody
to invite Israel in the dying European Union?
