The Kurds are facing genocide. Whoever wants to help us should do so – today is the day. There is no more time to say ‘we wanted to help, but we couldn’t.’”

 

Currently, the terrorist government of Al-Qaeda in Syria, in collaboration with Caliph Erdogan, has completely cut off electricity, water, and internet to the city of #Kobani, and has completely surrounded the city. This is genocide, planned by the pan-Arabist Tom Barak.
In this war,against the kurds, the ISIS government in Syria   is not alone; Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Türkiye are also supporting ISIS terrorists.
Stand with our people in Rojava

The Kurds are facing genocide. Whoever wants to help us should do so – today is the day. There is no more time to say ‘we wanted to help, but we couldn’t.’”


– Senior Syrian Kurdish politician Îlham Ehmed, responding to my question on contacts between the Kurdish-led administration in NE Syria and Israel.

After intensive work, continuous diplomatic efforts, and extensive connections with members of the U.S. Congress, MK Amit Halevi delivers a clear and unequivocal message from the Israeli Parliament in support of the Kurdish people and other persecuted communities in Syria. In the attached video, filmed together with me, Yehuda Ben Yosef, President of the Kurdish Community in Israel, MK Halevi addresses the ongoing atrocities committed by the terrorist al-Sharaa. This follows an official letter he sent to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and to members of the U.S. Congress a letter that will be published as part of our continued political and diplomatic struggle to stop the genocide. The Kurdish people are not alone. The fight continues through diplomacy, politics, and moral responsibility. #KurdishPeople #StandWithKurds #StopTheGenocide #HumanRights #Israel #BenjaminNetanyahu #Knesset #Kurdistan #Syria #Diplomacy #USCongress #MoralClarity #NeverAgain

Just received an urgent message from #Kobani. Journalist Hevidar Herani reports the situation is deteriorating as attacks continue. #Kobane city is under a total siege from all four sides, and civilians say water, electricity, internet, and basic necessities have been completely cut off.

@BarhamSalihThey protected Europe from ISIS for ten years. Now they're being left to die. The situation in Rojava is dire. People are living in fear. Minorities are once again under threat. The Kurds have been betrayed—by the US, by Europe, and by Germany. While the debate continues here, people there are fighting for survival. That's why we cannot remain silent now. We must be the voice of the people on the ground. In the coming days, Reflexion&Reaktion will feature more voices from Kurds and friends of the Kurds. Because our people on the ground need our voices. Now. Thank you @tobiashuch for your voice!
